DES was used extensively as a growth stimulant in cattle, however, as early as the 1950 it was also being used a clinical drug for the ... seen at all developmental stages of an animal’s life. The most dramatic effects occur while the animal is in utero and before puberty while the tissues are maturing and differentiating. Many of the damaging effect of endocrine disruptors on the reproductive and development processes of an organisms may not be evident until the animal reaches puberty, a time when sex hormones levels increase and formally dormant cells become active. Due to this factor it is difficult for researchers to study the direct effect of many of these chemicals. The fact that responses of animal subjects and humans alike to these chemicals parallel each other indicates that this problem will have far reaching and devastating consequences.

A person who goes to church every Sunday with their parents and does not care about it will probably not have a large religious effect on their identity, it may even cause the person to think “ who needs religion, it is useless.” A person's identity is his own, they make it and develop it however they choose to.

- 568: The Yellow Wallpaper 4
- ... century, women were repressed and controlled by their husbands as well as other male influences. In "The Yellow Wall-Paper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the narrator is oppressed and represents the major theme of the effect of oppression of women in society. This effect is created by the use of complex symbols such as the window, the house, and the wall-paper which all promote her oppression as well as her self expression.

Another reason for rising government expenditure under the societal system approach is expressed via Tarschy's ‘demonstration effect.' He suggests that the coming of television "has led to increased awareness of the standard of living enjoyed by other segments in society and even in other parts of the world. As a consequence, expectations ... the distribution of public goods." But, if people become aware of goods they would like, then why don't they work harder. Peacock and Wiseman (1961) have suggested an alternative hypothesis known as the ‘displacement effect', in which they believe public expenditure is limited by available revenues. They suggest that we have seen increases in revenue occurring because after the two world wars the level of taxation, although falling down from ... is that major crises expand the public tolerance for increased levels of taxation. An argument against this hypothesis is that why did expenditure continue to rise in the 1960's when there was no displacement effect.

Anthony Downs suggests that public spending should be seen ...

The protons and neutron are, in this very dense soup, participating in sub-atomic reactions. The two most important of these reactions are: Antineutrino + Proton ----> Positron (anti-electron) + Neutron Neutrino + Neutron ----> Electron + Proton In effect the protons are becoming neutrons and vice-versa. The energies are so great that simple atoms being formed fall apart immediately after coming together. (Silk, 1994) As the universe expands, and loses energy the ...
