- 12871: Bipartisanship
- ... This research proposal will attempt to define if the concept of bipartisanship does exist. If it does exist, what are the contributing factors to it (convincing individuals, convincing corporations, money, the Senators or House member’s families)? These can be considered to be the independent variables. Presently, the Internet consists of numerous, almost uncountable, sources on bipartisanship. Many magazines and newspapers are major contributors to this subject as well. The amount ... intrigues all aspects of this society. When the public seems to want press on a particular issue, they seem to get it. The most notable feature of the current state of journalism in the U.S. is the total dereliction of duty on the part of national political reporters. More than fifty congress critters, senators, and state governors have announced their retirements in the past year, after they received packets from a group of hackers called the Fifth Column detailing illegal and unreported income from bribes, kickbacks, payoffs, and whatnot. This story of the wholesale sell-out of the U.S. political process should rank as one of the top stories of the decade. But the national media blandly reports the contrived explanations ("I just want to spend more time with my heretofore neglected family") ...

We can no longer just feed money to these people assuming that they are doing what they say they are doing. The world is no one’s responsibility. It is everyone’s responsibility. For some reason the popular opinion has become that if we ignore a problem long enough that it will go away. I, personally, have tried this technique, and it doesn’t work. The ...

- 12876: The Involvement of Computers in Future Jobs
- ... able to watch television like we never have watched it before. We will be able to touch the characters, and feel the characters like they were in the room with you.

You should learn what you can while you still have the chance, because things will develop to quickly for you and you will not ... this job, would require actual manual labor. However, computers and computer parts are so well built and shall continue to be even more well built, that repair is only a small fraction of a consultant's daily routines. Overall, conditions for the majority of jobs dealing mainly with computers, shall include very little manual labor, unfavorable conditions, and much knowledge, typing skills, and good communication skills in dealing with people. With ... except for maybe sleeping. By this, it is meant that computers will not just be something that you choose to know or learn in the future, but something that will just be part of everyone's common sense and knowledge.

- 12877: Odyssey, Learning About Himsel
- ... them all. He was the first to mistreat Odysseus and planned to kill Telemachus. He was also the one that would abuse him physically and verbally for some time to come. Also, if that weren’t enough, he planned a boxing match for Odysseus to be in to watch him get beat up. All this was happening and the other suitors were most likely following their leader in whatever he was ... doing. Odysseus had to control himself the whole time this was happening. If he had lost his temper, the suitors would have killed him, his son, and most likely taken over the kingdom. That didn’t happen though. Odysseus learned self-control and humility. He may not be perfect at it, but going through all the humility made him a better man. Along the same topic, he was a king going ... have died trying to get his kingdom back. Along the same line as humility comes pride. Odysseus had more pride and cockiness than any of the characters I have read about this semester.

- 12878: Prejudice
- ... Whites figure they are superior to all other races, especially blacks since they once were property to the white man. Most American people realize that slavery was a very terrible thing that happened in America's past. Yet there are still some racist people who believe that the blacks should still be property or are less of a human. What are they thinking? Can they not realize that they are humans just like you and I? Since slavery, there have been all kinds of attempts to curve prejudice and abolish it; but as long as people are still here, it's impossible. One way that America tried to stop prejudice was an act called Affirmative Action. Not only did it not work, but also it is a form of prejudice all by itself. Affirmative Action is ... amount of people from each race can be allowed into a school. It also states that employers have to hire a certain number of people from different races.

- ... taking Physics and Chemistry and Biology. It is really an adventure to be back with books and words and reading. I am also amazed that I never could read more of Him when it wasn't an assignment. And how is it that when I am told to write "a 3-5 page essay" I can only come through with two-and-a-half, but a "one-page response" always wants to be twenty pages long?] I finished reading SAR around ten o'clock tonight. I could have taken it all in one big gulp when I began a week ago, but I couldn't do that. It wanted me to bring it out slowly, so I often found myself reading five or ten pages and laying it aside to absorb without engulfing. A man gets used to reading Star ... slaps him in the face. This book was written, not churned out or word-processed. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I never noticed it until it was brought up in class, maybe because it wasn't a point for me in In Our Time, but He doesn't often enough credit quotations with, ",he said," or, ",said Brett," or, ",Bill replied." In SAR it stood and called attention to itself. ...
