- ... continued to increase. Jones (1990) further points out that the new technology has far greater reliability, capacity and range than any which proceeded it.

It is cheaper to replace electronic modules than to repair them and the new technology is performing many functions at once and generating little ... since the great depression of the 1930s.

- 2313: Advice I Often Receive From Parents
- Advice I Often Receive From Parents A piece of advice that I often receive is "as long as you do your best." This refers to success in everything from school to careers. I believe that this is good advice because it tells me that they trust my judgment and will respect my decisions, even if they are the wrong ones. This helps to take pressure off of me when I am going to school because I don't have to live up to certain standards and try to accomplish goals that are unattainable.

- 2315: Robert Frost
- Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. He moved to New England at the age of eleven and became interested in reading and writing poetry during his high school years in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

- 2316: Socialization
- ... s major source of reinforcement'" (Vold, et al., 1998:196). Social control theory, which is best known through Travis Hirschi, states that "individuals who were tightly bonded to social groups such as the family, the school, and peers would be less likely to commit delinquent acts" (Vold, et al., 1998:207). In other words, individuals who are bonded to other groups such as delinquent peers, gangs, or those who are bonded ... or a concept that is not conducive to obeying the law. If a delinquent is committed to a group of deviant peers, his reputation with them will probably be more important than his reputation at school or in the community. Again, this does not indicate a lack of socialization, but rather socialization to a deviant way of life. Involvement is the third element of Hirschi's Control Theory. This basically states ...
- 2317: Red Badge Of Courage
- ... thinks that a wound will somehow bring him into true soldierhood, will combat his youthful anxiety. He idealizes the brave veterans who he imagines have "red, live bones sticking out through slits in the faded uniforms. These images of red wounds are saved for the quick; dead men are never described in red, but rather in gray. The red badge of courage is for those who survive. Ironically, even after Fleming ... the color of many omens of death, and of each dead or deathly person Fleming encounters. Gray, first of all, is the uniform color of the opposing army: " Fleming perceived with dim amazement that their uniforms were rather gay in effect, being light gray . . ." (186). This realization is a little ironic since gray so quickly loses its gaiety within this narrative. Perhaps it reflects Fleming's growing awareness of the battlefield ...

- ... in the attack said they were imitating a scene form Born Innocent, an NBC television movie they watched three days before they committed the crime. The movie, which takes place in a girl's reform school, shows a new inmate cornered by four girls and graphically raped with the handle of a plumber's plunger (Levine, 1996, p.12). It is time to move past the debate of whether or not ... to psychodynamic tenets: first, by accepting the child's behavior and feelings; and second, by provoking the child with opportunities for "catharsis". Therefore, the development of critical viewing skills should be part of every elementary school curriculum. Teaching children how to watch television more productively is extremely important because the use of educational television and other media appears to be growing throughout all educational levels.

Deprived of any other information regarding Grandier s youth, Huxley shrewdly turned instead to the autobiography of Jean-Jacques Bouchard, which provided him with an ... on the author s unspeakable depravitity. This was an ostensibly pious (if divided) age for France, but in reality everyone from the Dauphin at Versailles to the peasant in the field were regularly indulged: At school, under the good Fathers, there are no strenuous games, and the boys superfluous energy can find no vent except in excessive masturbation, and the practice, on half-holidays, of homosexuality.

- 2320: Pigeon Feather
- ... is almost Joycean, and he has often imitated Joyce in the almost mechanical way of someone doing an exercise in a creative-writing class: how his virtuosity must have charmed his writing teachers! His evident school-brightness and the first-class education it brought him provided every opportunity for the overdevelopment of his onomastic tendencies. They are most obvious in his verse ("Conceptually a blob,/ the knob/ is a smallish object ... in "Flight," remembering what looks like this same girl and his mother's jealousy of her, reconstructs a glowing world of details about his grandfather and grandmother (who turns up in several other stories), of school and classmates, of dances and debates.
