- 821: The Bluest Eye: Summary
- ... this book is the fact that Pecolas madness was not brought on by herself, but rather society and in particular, her family. Pecola Breedlove is an innocent little girl who, like very other young child, did not ask to be born in this cruel world. It is bad enough that practically the whole world rejects her, but her own parents are guilty of rejection as well. Her own father, who ... way their past was suppose to, at least partially, justify their present actions. What each did was abhorrent in its own right and any people, even characters, who could do such things to an innocent child do not deserve any of the limelight. The only chapter I wanted to read specifically on Pauline or Cholly was one dealing with either or both of them going to jail. Pecola endures physical and verbal abuse not only at home, but also at school. The only two friends she has, who even remotely care what happens to her. Pecola is always the target of cruel and demeaning jokes, which usually ...

- 823: Resolving Family Conflict
- ... a kid very heavily is taking a risk. The kid may become extremely competitive in nature and may not be able to handle any situation of loss. A parent should not do everything for his child just because the parent knows what he is doing. The parent should just guide and direct the child so that the child takes some initiative and learns things for himself. In Willy s case, he did almost everything for Biff and never really gave Biff a chance to do something for himself. This way, Biff never ...
- 824: "Boys and Girls: The Development of Gender Roles"
- ... a critical period in gender development. Freud's theory suggests that the way in which the id, ego, and superego evolve and the way in which they proliferate in the first six years of a child's life will influence the child's emotional attachment to her/his parent of the same sex and, as consequence, the child's gender identification. I would agree with Freud's statement that children undergo a certain emotional crisis after becoming aware of their genitals. It must be somewhat frustrating for, e.g., a three year- ...

- ... in the solemn mood of popular mind, that she longed rather to behold all those rigid countenances contorted with scornful merriment and herself the object"(54).

In the middle of the novel is a transition period where the letter "A" is viewed differently than before. In this section of the novel ... the original feeling of hostility"(147). This foreshadows the future events of the novel. Another view of the letter is that it portrays guilt. It portrays the guilt of Dimmesdale, the father of Hester's child. Hester has learned to deal with her punishment and grow stronger from it, but Dimmesdale, who went unpunished and is a respectable man in the Puritan society, must now live with the guilt of having a child "illegally". This guilt helps him to become weaker as novel continues: "Mr. Dimmesdale was overcome with a great horror of mind, as if the universe were gazing at a scarlet token on his naked ...

- 827: Chinese Kinship Systems
- ... son was so important in the first place? There is, of course, a myriad of strong reasons, one reason being that surnames were passed down through the male line.

It was through this ... forebears and all of his descendents yet unborn (Baker, 1979). Surname, then, depicted who you were, who you had control over and who you needed to respect and worship.Another major reason why a male child was so important in the Chinese kinship system, was the fact that inheritance followed the male line of descent. While it is interesting that Chinese kinship rules dictated that homogeniture be practiced, it was not ... that is enjoyed by their brothers and husbands (Watson, 1991).Interestingly, or perhaps ironically, is the fact that for women to improve their patrilocal position in their family, they must give birth to a male child as soon as possible.

- ... belongs more to her than vice-versa. It is also ironic that Joe be the one that seems to be stuck in tough situation in his marraige. Often, in this time, women suffered from the abuse of their husbands and expected to keep the marriage together regardless. However, Joe is clearly the one being abused in this story and he also is the only one decent enough to care enough about the marraige to try and keep it together by enduring the abuse of Mrs. Joe. Fifth, through love, Joe shows the audience that truly he is not just a very timid man but a whole-hearted man. Truly, it takes a loving man to stay in love with such a woman as Mrs. Joe. No kissing ever took place between Joe and Mrs. Joe (much less child birth), and it becomes clear to the reader that the relationship between Joe and Mrs. Joe is a very "one-way" relationship. It would seem that Joe cares enough for Mrs. Joe, though Mrs. ...

- ... and sell for significantly less money. Piracy is relatively easy, and only the largest rings of distributors are usually to serve hard jail time when prisons are overcrowded with people convicted of more serious crimes. Child Pornography This is one crime that is clearly illegal, both on and off the internet. Crackdowns may catch some offenders, but there are still ways to acquire images of children in varying stages of dress and performing a variety of sexual acts. Legally speaking, people who provide access to child porn face the same charges whether the images are digital or on a piece of paper. Trials of network users arrested in a recent FBI bust may challenge the validity of those laws as they ... usually result in the implementation of stronger security systems. Since there is no single widely-used definition of computer-related crime, computer network users and law enforcement officials most distinguish between illegal or deliberate network abuse versus behavior that is merely annoying.
