- 2121: Sex Discrimination
- ... they are sixty five. Sex discrimination is not only present within the older generation but is also evident throughout the entire age range. Before legislation was passed in the 1960's most young girls left school after O-levels to receive a strong social message that their careers where already setup for them as marriage and motherhood (Pascall 1995: 2). The only jobs they would be getting were tedious low paid ... sectors to men, they make up 62% of teachers and librianship but only 25% of business and financial professionals and shockingly only 5% of engineers and technologists. Teaching is a qualified position, 90% of primary school teachers and 60% of secondary teachers are women but 50% primary and 80% secondary school heads are men. This is the same right the way across the specturm, in university only 5% of professors are women (Pascall 1995: 3). This segregation of gender in different jobs can be separated ...
- 2122: Aristotle
- Aristotle Aristotle was born in 382 BC, in a small town near Athens, Greece. He went to school and studied under the teachings of Plato. He became a great thinker and opened his own school which was a large competition for Plato's school. One of the major philosophies in which Aristotle became known for is his in-depth study of the aspects of good and evil. Aristotle said that a man is not good if he shows ...
- 2123: Stranger In The Kingdom
- ... with millions of oriental faces living in mediocre (at best) conditions. Why hadn’t any of my previous history classes ever covered this topic? Why, at 17 years of age and a junior in high school was I only becoming aware of it now? Provocative thoughts such as these kept circling through my head as Hatsue described the conditions in the camps. I believe that we have enough books like Stranger ... our country seems to forget. Ever since the thought-provoking meeting of C.V.U.’s Diversity Committee, I really do believe that we are not informed of a well-balanced amount of information in school. After reading and rereading the section about the mistreatment of oriental people during WWII, I believe that we should focus more on issues such as these in our history classes at school. I remember a speech that Jesse Jackson once gave where he stated that in order for us to fix racism, we had to educate all children at an early stage. Although we as upper ...
- 2124: Should Steroids Be Banned From Society?
- ... Neil Carolan warns us, "Even a brief period of abuse on a child whose body and brain chemistry are still developing is extremely harmful and possibly permanent." The deaths related to steroids of several high school athletes each year is more than adequate cause to ban steroids. Consequently, if professional athletes are taking steroids, then a young high school athlete may go under the misconception that steroids are harmless. Indeed it would serve well for high school PE instructors to teach their students about the effects of steroids and the ethics involved. Often parents discover their child’s steroid abuse and become shocked, but with the constant push a child receives ...
- 2125: Inclusion
- ... parents. By this I mean that studies have shown that a couple with two or more college degrees among them are more likely to have a Downs baby then that of a couple of high school drop outs. This odd occurrence has lead to more affluent families to give birth to one or more Downs babies. The limitations facing a Downs child will affect the child’s whole life and it ... disabilities, rather than mastery of certain academic and technical skills. This strain falls in line with their idea of total social integration of all society. Inclusion visionaries will claim if we isolate these kids, during school age years, they will never be fully excepted by society. The inclusion fire does not burn without opposition. The most influential of this opposition is the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA). The LDA’s ... Smith, a student who has Cerebral Palsy, needs to go to the bathroom. She interrupts Carol Masterson, her teacher, who is giving instructions for a writing assignment to her seventh-grade class at Coats Middle School. “Ms. Masterson, I need to go now,” Sabrina Smith says haltingly, as her right hand operates the control to direct her electric wheelchair to the hallway door. “Okay, Sabrina.” Masterson says. She knows Sabrina ...
- 2126: Kurt Cobain
- ... started to spend the nights sleeping below a bridge (immortalized in the song "Something in the Way") at the end of his road. Here, Kurt's time was spent writing his earliest lyrics("The Life"). School life was not much easier on Kurt Cobain either. Unlike most boys, Kurt had little interest in such things as football and other sports. Instead, he enjoyed painting and Puhek 2 singing. Therefore, much of his time at school was spent with the girls("Biography"). For this, Kurt did not have many friends at school. Many thought he was either strange or bisexual, so he alienated himself from other people("The Life"). Kurt Cobain was not always alone though. Before he was famous, Kurt lived with Tracy Merander (immortalized ...
- 2127: Civil War - The War Of Northern Aggression
- ... as well, misleading text books. The truth is that the North, Lincoln, etc. weren’t as great as they claimed to be, and that they went to illegal measures for an unjust cause. The public school system was used as a tool of the government and still is to skew the American mind into believing whatever it wants. For example: at the present time the school child has evolution drilled into their head as fact, even though it has already been accounted for as false. The C.S.A. (Confederate States of America) President Jefferson Davis actually predicted this. He taught that if the South lost, then the North would write it’s history. Therefore, the generations to come wouldn’t understand the Confederate call for independence (Kennedy 17). The public school system was put into effect after the North won the war. It’s plan was to appeal with a free education, which it did. Then it used it’s captives in it’s scheme ...

- 2129: The Adventures Of Huckleberry
- ... boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women ... beautiful women-but none of this comes to pass. Huck finds out too late that Tom's adventures are imaginary: that raiding a caravan of "A-rabs" really means terrorizing young children on a Sunday school picnic, that stolen "joolry" is nothing more than turnips or rocks. Huck is disappointed that the adventures Tom promises are not real and so, along with the other members, he resigns from the gang. Another ... in front of his face; his skin, Huck says, is white like a fish's belly or like a tree toad's.

Huck is able to stay away from Pap for a while, but Pap kidnaps Huck three or four months after Huck starts to live with the Widow and takes ...
