- 1001: Madame Bovary 6
- ... we get of her incessant need for change. With every change that she makes, she is trying to find the happiness she is longing for. When Emma found out that she was to have a child, she was excited. Emma particularly wanted a boy, because she thought that it would come along with new and exciting experiences. Once she had the child, it was not a boy, she quickly lost all interest in the child. An example of Emma s fluctuation of moods is after Leon left (part II, chapter 6).

- 1003: The Truth About Airbags
- ... in the experiment, eight were killed and thirteen were seriously injured (Norton 40). The truth about airbags is they do more damage to children than good (Carbonara 132). Airbags do even more damage when a child is unbelted. The NHTSA says that almost all accidents involving airbags and children occur when the child is not properly belted in (The Quest for the Friendlier Airbag 128). Manufacturers stress the fact that seat belts must be worn for the air bag to function properly (Curtindale 31). The head of the ... not. Wear seat belts across the chest and lap, with no slack. Children twelve and under should sit in the back seat. Rear facing seats must never go in the front seat; and, if a child must sit in the front, move the seat as far back as possible. One way the manufacturers are trying to keep an airbag from killing children is to install on and off switches. This ...
- 1004: Pesticides Are Affecting Our F
- ... to be affected by pesticides than adults because, they are strange eaters, they breath at a higher rate, and tend to spend more time on the ground were chemicals may settle and then enter a childs body through breathing, orally, by touching something with a residue and then putting their fingers in their mouth, and through a childs skin. Pesticides will drastically damage the future health of our children if people dont act now. CHILDRENS HEALTH IS AT RISK THROUGH THE FOOD THEY EAT Every year, tens of millions of ... pesticide laws are not adequate enough to protect children. One reason children are more vulnerable to pesticides is that they weigh less; a little bit of poison to an adult is proportionally more to a child. In a 1998 analysis of government data conducted by the EWG concluded that over 1 million children consume more than the safe adult dose of organo-phosphates (insecticides that work on poisoning the nervous ...
- 1005: To Judge A Book By Its Cover
- ... parents to form a type of control, limiting the material viewed by students. Many parents and teachers feel it is good to see children reading, but do they really know what they read. Picture a child burning his eyes into a pornographic magazine laid out on his desk at school, hard to picture because obtaining the magazine requires a specific age, and also the content is so visibly unacceptable the child does not stand a chance viewing it. Picture instead, a child reading a steamy, supermarket checkout-aisle romance novel. Besides Fabio throwing his love over his shoulders in passion on the cover, no way to identify the smut beneath the child s eyes. This system ...
- 1006: How America Should React To Ho
- ... the homosexuals and where do they belong in our society? First of all, it is important to realize that homosexuals are an integral part of our society. Your neighbor, your co-worker, your hairdresser, your child and even your spouse can be one of them. According to Richard D. Mohr "[t]wo out of five men one passes on the street have had orgasmic sex with men. Every second family in ... heterosexual take for granted. We have to admit that some steps have been made to protect homosexuals. However, many government and public institutions and individuals still discriminate against homosexuals denying them employment, housing, insurance, marriage, childs custody and so on. Why is it allowed to discriminate against people who have different sexual orientation? Some may put forward arguments that being gay is immoral, that it is illegal, that it is ... pedophillia, for example. Here it is important to notice, that for one, pedophillia is not necessary a homosexual act. Secondly, it is immoral and unlawful because one of the partners in this case is a child or a teenager who more often than not has no other choice than to yield to the power of the adult. As Joseph Geraci and Donald H. Mader point out "the power imbalance between ...
- 1007: Internet
- ... lots of things, who wants Uncle Sams hand in the web. Some of the regulations that are applied are there for specific reasons. Those protect the people before the damage to say a young child posing for porn can be done. Those people that would be trying to regulate the Internet could be going after those sick, pathetic petafiles that float around in the child chat rooms. In my opinion, the parents should be the ones that are responsible for what their children view on the Internet. The net itself can be very valuable if used as a tool for learning. In the group Families Against Internet Censorship, they understand the concept of parental filtering (Censorship 2000). One of the families uses primarily the Internet to home-school their children. When a child signs on to the web, he or she has almost infinite resources right at the ends of their fingertips. Where else can you maximize the worlds resources from inside the comforts of home.

- 1008: Ernest Hemingway 3
- ... that Hemingway's romance was short-lived, while, the book seemed to indicate that, Henry's romance, though they never married, was strong and would have lasted. In A Farewell to Arms, Catherine and her child died while she was giving birth, this was not the case with Agnes who left Henry for an Italian Army officer. It seems to me that the differences between the two men were only surface ... to expose his life to everyone, and so the slight changes would prove that it was not himself and his own experiences which he was writing about. I believe that Hemingway had Catherine and her child die, not to look different from his own life, but because he had a sick and morbid personality. There is great power in being an author, you can make things happen which do not necessarily occur in real life. It is obvious that Hemingway felt, as a young child and throughout his life, powerless, and so he created lives by writing stories. Hemingway acted out his feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by hunting, drinking, spending lots of money and having many girlfriends. I ...
- 1009: History Of The Original Teddy
- ... the original teddy bear which is regarded as the perennial toy of the twentieth century complies with this philosophy. Firstly, though, what denotes a toy? The most common defenition states a toy as being a child's plaything, which suggests balls, dolls, games, puzzles and the like. Perhaps a more general defenition which fits the entire age realm is any object which stimulates the brain. A toy encourages learning through fun ... critical thinking skills. Action figures, dolls and stuffed animals allow children to create hypothetical problems and solve them. Play-Doh, paints, and markers and crayons build artistic ability while board and computer games force a child to plan his own strategy and guess that of his opponent's. Approaching childhood's metamorphosis into adulthood, model and hobby kits are prevalent. Since they are not played with but rather displayed after completion ... One toy which pervades the age gamut is the teddy bear. A teddy bear is a stuffed replica of an animal in nature. It stimulates an infant's sense of touch and helps develop a child's mental capacities. Although the accepted "teddy bear age" ranges ages five to eleven, for some, collections run rampant throughout adulthood. This is due to the unrelenting attachment that bonds an owner to his ...

- ... enough, he vehemently denies any of it happening. Later, when Lizaveta gives birth to Fyodor's illegitimate son, it is Grigory and Marfa who take the boy in, baptize him, and decide to raise the child. The townspeople mistakenly credit Fyodor for taking the dead woman's child into his house. All of these disturbing actions on the part of Fyodor are cause for his punishment. While Fyodor neglected his fatherly duties to his other three sons, to this fourth, he rejects them ... about his mistreatment. Smerdyakov seems to be innately aware of the violence, disrespect, and cruelty from which he was conceived. He is outwardly cold and passionless. Inwardly, he has a lot of anger. As a child, he maliciously unleashes this inward wrath in the ceremonial killing of cats. Thanks to a frank and mean-spirited admonition by Grigory, he is fully aware of his position as a subordinate in the ...
