- 422: The Advancement of Technology
- The Advancement of Technology The microeconomic picture of the U.S. has changed immensely since 1973, and the trends are proving to be consistently downward for the nation's high school graduates and high school drop-outs. "Of all the reasons given for the wage squeeze - international competition, technology, deregulation, the decline of unions and defense cuts - technology is probably the most critical. It has favored the educated and the skilled," says M. B. Zuckerman, editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report (7/31/95). Since 1973, wages adjusted for inflation have declined by about a quarter for high school dropouts, by a sixth for high school graduates, and by about 7% for those with some college education.

- 429: Stereotyping Lord Of The Flies
- ... The clothes we wear, the way we do our hair, the people we hang out with, this all adds to our uniqueness. This diverseness should not be discriminating towards anyone. The way we do in school also adds to the list of stereotypes. Some kids feel they have to do poorly in order to avoid names such as "brain", "browner", or something that can be as complimenting as smart or intelligent ... because of what reputation your clothes give you. If someone wanted to get away from the hassle of stereotyping, all they'd have to do is dress normally. But what is normal? Is normal a school full of preps without individuality. Would a Nike, Reebok, or Addidas sign be the only difference between students? Would everyone then receive the same amount of attention and would all sports be popular and all teachers be respected. Would the "smoking area" no longer have to exist? Where is the individuality and uniqueness that makes school interesting? Life is full of stereotypical monstrosities. Perhaps school uniforms would be a more objective solution. It would be impossible to expect that not even a dozen of kids would find a clause on ...
