- ... society. All humans go through the process of childhood socialization. It prepares us for the world we have to deal with as adults. There are three main agents of childhood socialization: the family, peers, and school. The family is the first and most important agent for the socialization of a child. Within the confines of the family, a child learns about love, protection, and security. In my household, concepts such as ... they seemed really cool, at least, until their mothers came up and embarrassed them in public. That public shame helped me to determine that smoking wasn't cool. I did, however, learn that going to school was cool. For eight hours a day, teachers attempted to socialize various behaviors into me. As the third agent of socialization, school instills the majority of technical skills into children. Reading, writing, science, and math are reinforced. Schools also deal with anticipatory socialization. This is the process of learning the knowledge, skills, and values of a ...

- 3284: Canadian Manufacturing
- ... product categories. The value of export shipments of manufactured goods in 1986 was $98 billion. With “freer trade,” the volume of manufactured goods imported into Canada has increased. Canada's degree of trade exposure is high by international standards, though it varies from sector to sector. For example, groups of industries that operate on a localized basis (eg, parts of food and beverages, metal-fabricating and nonmetallic mineral products) naturally have low trade exposure, and activity in the domestic economy is more important. Resource-oriented sectors (eg, primary metals, paper and wood products) have a high export orientation and a lower import penetration of the domestic market. Sectors that tend to be more rationalized on a N American basis (eg, the MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT INDUSTRIES) have offset high import penetration with success in export markets. Sectors such as textiles, leather products and ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES have been facing high import penetration with little offsetting exports (although exports are increasing in many categories). The ...
- 3285: Artificial Heart Devices
- ... exist moral, ethical, and economic factors that accompany these new innovations to humanity. Who will receive these brilliant inventions? Obviously not all of the patients will get transplants, so selection criteria must be established. The high price of artificial heart devices and their implantation will eliminate some candidates. Unfortunately, this is not fair. The rich, in essence, can buy life, whereas the poor are abandoned to die in a diseased state ... realm of artificial heart devices. Once a candidate has finally been chosen, however, how is he or she to finance such an elaborate surgical operation? The price for an implant of such complexity is extremely high. The estimated price for an LAVD is about fifty- thousand dollars(Stipp 41). This figure does not include hospital bills for the care and the board of the patient. This is an extravagant amount which ... of the increased demand. Some believe that the implantation of artificial heart devices will strengthen the case for the national health insurance. Another question to be considered is whether or not it is worth the high cost to have the operation. The common response is to say that a price cannot be put on life, but can we honestly say it is worth thousands of dollars to prolong someone's ...
- 3286: Racism
- Racism The sizzling streams of sunlight were just beautifully glimmering down on the crisp green school yard. Such a wonderful day that was. Nothing could have ruined it. Little Jimmy, since it was such a wonderful day decided to go to the corner store and buy himself a little treat. As ... started walking over to the store, clouds flocked over the dazzling sun and the sudden pitch dark meant no trouble. On the other side of the road were three white boys from Jimmy's same school. Upon recognizing Jimmy, the boys ran over the street to where he was. "Hey Negro, what's up?", one of the white Boy said. "Did your mamma pack you enough to eat to-day?", another ... in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral. Nobody is exempt from this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse. On one occasion I remember, nobody would play with me at school. I would walk around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that I went, like the process of induction, everyone would avoid me. Like two inducted poles with the same ...

At Harappa, exposed an impressive defensive wall, some 9 meters (30 feet) high and 14 meters (46 feet) wide at the base. The great walls of the citadel emerged for the first time in their majesty as picks cut through the blocking debris, The historical character of the Indus civilization was changing and developing. At Mohenjo-daro - better preserved than Harappa - the buildings of the citadel were erected on a massive mud brick platform 6 meters (20 feet) high that covered 8 hectares (20 acres).

- 3288: Honesty
- ... contained an article on burglaries in general. In the article, it said that Australia had one of the world’s highest burglary and domestic violence rates. It was said that this was because of Australians high beer intake in comparison to countries which drink more wine rather than beer (Italy or Greece or Spain). This is proven by the fact that many other beer drinking countries like Canada, America, England, Germany and Holland also have quite high crime, burglary and domestic violence rates. Another factor that adds to Australia’s high crime/burglary rate is the facts that just over 80% of Australia’s population live in a detached, single story house, which is accessible to burglars from all sides. This can be compared to ...
- 3289: The Clinton Sex Scandal
- ... it make traditional journalists feel? Uneasy? Tainted? The Clintn/Lewinsky scandal is that kind of story; nasty and dirty. But more than that perhaps, they are acting recklessly, and people like Drudge, operating in the high-speed, high-competition world of the Web, aren't pushing us that way. For instance, Jan. 23, just a couple of days into the Clinton/Lewinsky crisis, when it was still just two people who both said ... they were clearly wrong. No matter how many hour long Investigating the President specials CNN runs, it seems that the Lewinsky affair is the "Little Scandal that Couldn't." Yet the press, for all its highminded condemnations of Clintonian morality, certainly cannot look to anyone but itself for the public's current lack of concern, since their focus has in some ways created the problem. The implications of the ...

- ... you work. The harder a person works, the more you would expect to get paid. This is another advantage, since people are paid by the amount they work : a lot of work results in a high outcome, and a high income for the person. This is an incentive to work too, since, the point stated previously can affect a person negatively, since, not enough work can result in pay cuts or, even job losses. Since ... the rich, and, therefore the richhave the power. Their decisions would always be to get themselves richer, and, that makes the poor poorer. There are strong incentives built into the system to innovate and produce high quality goods (high quality goods = higher income, low quality goods = lower income / unemployment) Since the economy is controlled by the people, stable growth is is very difficult.
