Feminism was not outright spoken of in this time, rather passed through literature, such as this very novel. Stories and novels were the primary means in which to communicate information and ideas in that time ... she has "as much soul as [him]" and just "full as heart". Showing that as a women she is no different from him, and thus should be treated no differently is evidently attempting the same effect as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. The end of this quotation explicitly states that when they both die they will stand at God's feet "equal - as we are". Jane Eyre lived a hard ... would not posses. Her ability to comfort the aunt who had once treated her terribly is more power than some people could ever hope to obtain.

- 542: African Culture
- ... the principle (stated or unstated) of the use of power was based on race, it was racism. Feagin and Sikes define racism as follows: "Racism is racial discrimination backed by the power and resources to effect unequal outcomes based on race." (Feagin and Sikes, Living with Racism, Beacon, 1994). The use of the power of the White majority upon Blacks is a measure of the openness of society and a comment ... competition increases. Multiculturalism Liberal sociologists such as Gunnar Myrdal, who wrote what is considered a classic on race relations, An American Dilemma, in the 1940s, proposed that pluralism could defeat racial discrimination and subordination. In effect, pluralism assumed that a theoretical equality between Blacks and Whites could be achieved without serious alteration in the status of Whites, by the elimination of racial discrimination and the practice of pluralistic equality. Not only ... contracting, etc.). Assaults on these policies, which have been developing since their introduction as tentative and quite limited efforts at racial redistribution (Johnson 1967), are currently at hysterical levels. These attacks are clearly designed to effect ideological shifts, rather than to shift resources in any meaningful way. They represent whiteness as disadvantage, something which has few precedents in US racial history (Gallagher 1994). This imaginary white disadvantage -- for which there ...

- ... provocation" (30). The pictures taken during this time are grotesque. Violence was out of hand. The Negroes persevered through it all.

There was a mass of people rioting in the streets. President Kennedy sent in federal troops against the governor's wishes. Not only did the struggle effect black people, it also effected white people. Stores in downtown Birmingham suffered as sales dropped fifty percent. Women no longer felt safe enough to go out on the streets and to the stores. Negroes in ... paid off as opportunities for equality began slowly opening up. In Birmingham, Alabama black and white leaders came to an agreement on May 8, 1963. The demonstrations were to cease while peace talks were in effect. On May 9th, Negroes were granted three of their requests for equality. A couple of stores in downtown Birmingham opened their counters to Negroes. There was a promise for better, although not equal, job ...

- ... the only physical thing that is being pounded by the effects of the sea. The house is beginning to slowly decay and fall apart. The effects of time have slowly begun to their damage, the greenhouse roof is falling down, and even the idea of discussing this destruction, is too much for Mrs. Ramsey. That would mean admitting to the fragility of the protective barrier of the house which she clings ... what would happen to this sanctuary if the inhabitants were to desert it for a period of years. The house is slowly overcome and reclaimed by nature; it cannot on its own hold back the effect of time. The domestic space that Mrs. Ramsey wishes to maintain is finally seen to emanate from the individuals themselves and not from the physical space of the house. It is Mrs. Ramsey who creates ...

- ... mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and because the sperm count returns to normal after cannabis use has stopped.. Another claim made was that cannabis causes chromosome breakage. The primary source for this are studies that were conducted by ... all. Marijuana and Health, also, after reviewing literature at that time, concluded that "Due to conflicting and incomplete evidence, it is not possible to conclude at the present time whether marijuana smoking has a significant effect upon gonadotropic and testosterone concentrations in humans." The most serious physical danger of using cannabis is in smoking it. Inhaling any sort of burnt plant matter is not very good for the lungs. Tashkin et ... yet, studies have often used poor controls (i.e., no filtration) and their results can mislead an uncareful reader. Smoking the drug with a different apparatus or ingesting it without smoking at all could greatly effect the results of these studies. The acute psychological effects of cannabis that cause its intoxicating properties are no mystery, as any user can report. Long term effects of cannabis use could possibly lead to ...

Another major result was all insulations retain much more heat than no insulation. Data Table Conclusion The purpose of this experiment was to find the effect of different forms of insulation on how much heat each type retains to show the best insulators for keeping the human body warm. The hypothesis is if denim, cotton T-shirt material, wool fabric, polyester ... in the same order. The difference in seconds could change the data by a degree. The experimenter could improve this by rotating or making the measuring order randomly. Other areas of study can be the effect of the amount of layers of insulation on how much heat is retained.

Overall the river is the basis of the town.

- ... attitudes toward marijuana in 1965. Periodic surveys were continued since that time because of their value in guiding classroom discussion on drug issues. ( Sommer, 67 ).

Up until this time people could be arrested on felony charges and faced possible prison terms for marijuana possession. After the ... Marinol, which causes it to be addicting.
