Racism, it is said, is subtle: it is disguised, kept out of sight" (Enrlich 73) "The suggestion that there is a new racism--a racism that has a new strength precisely because it doesn't appear to be racism--deserves serious consideration" (Piazza 66). Avoiding minorities on the street and denial of a public benefit to a minority which would be awarded to a white are examples of covert racism.

- ... it would mean that those who died in the violent struggles throughout the past would have died for nothing. A compromise is equivalent to surrender.

This attitude show their eagerness of fighting, at any cost, including terrorist acts such as the recent bombings in ... Danny Morrison stated in 1989 «...when it is politically costly for the British to remain in Ireland, they'll go...it wont be triggered until a large number of British soldiers are killed and that's what going to happen». Another reason for using terrorism is that today terrorism's public impact has been magnified by the use of modern means of communications. Death, blood, violence and destruction sell, not only as a news report, but today people are attracted to such as mentioned. ...

- ... Averyron, France. He was dirty, covered with sores, mute, and behaved like A wild animal. Jean Itard, the physician of the new institution for deaf-mutes, Was given charge of the abandoned child. From Itard’s description, Victor Showed many features of autism—he did not look at people and never Played with the toys, but showed remarkable memory in recalling the position Of objects in his room and resisted any ... adults. The autistic infant does not bring about a “social smile”; rather the child will only respond to sounds and sights that are not from the adult. Also, a normal baby will explore the mother’s face by touch or poking fingers in parts of her face, but an autistic child will rarely look at the mother and shows no interest in exploring her features. The next stage of development would ... a baby will make sounds, and by the seventh or eighth month, a baby will say “ma-ma” or “da-da”. An autistic baby does not develop socially.

The sales revenues jumped enormously through Intel's International exspansion to many countries including Europe and the Phillipines in the early 70's.

- 12946: The Measurement of Gas Exchange in Blue Gouramis
- ... all organisms for cellular respiration---the process that produces energy (ATP) needed for all body functions or activities (Campbell 1997). Different organisms obtain oxygen from different respiratory mediums. Terrestrial organisms obtain oxygen from the earth’s atmosphere that contains 21% oxygen (Campbell 1997). This concentration is high enough so that terrestrial animals do not have any problems obtaining sufficient oxygen amounts for cellular respiration. Aquatic animals, however, obtain oxygen from a ... exploiting whichever respiratory medium at a particular time is the most effective for oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide elimination (Burggren 1979). During times of the low oxygen concentration in the water, most freshwater fishes (like T. trichopterus) breathe in air while remaining aquatic, using an air-breathing organ to take in oxygen at the surface while simultaneously breathing in water at the gills (Martin 1995). The air-breathing organs in blue ... if the oxygen concentration in the water were depleted, then the number of opercular beats per minute by the blue gouramis would increase. Methods and Materials To manipulate oxygen concentration in the water containing the T. trichopterus fish, we made a series of water mixtures using 2 types of water: one saturated with bubbled oxygen and the other deoxygenated by bubbling nitrogen through it (Barstow et al. 1999). First, we ...
- 12947: Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Self-Reliance”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Self-Reliance” Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” is a wonderfully written essay that gives many definitions of what one’s self is about.

- 12948: The Goal: Book Review
- ... an unproductive worker, but Goldratt shows us that in reality a plant in which everyone is working all the time is very inefficient. The manager in the book soon comes to realize that machines don’t run themselves -- it takes people to create excess inventory, so sometimes when a worker is taking a break, thereby leaving a machine idle, it’s actually a good thing.One huge problem that often arises in a plant such as the one Goldratt has lead us through is distinguishing between two resources. One is the bottleneck which is when many ... many, a successful career signifies a successful life, we have to remember that family and friends are also a sign of success and that they can be just as big contributors to a career-person’s rise to the top as his co-workers.In order to deal with such a problem the plant manager consults a mentor who keeps him constantly thinking and researching possible remedies to the many ...
- 12949: Free Speech on Campus
- ... that I have interpreted this is to say what I want, when I want. I believe that we Americans have earned this right. My parents brought me up to also believe that if you don’t have something nice to say then don’t say anything at all. I think that college students should have enough sense to know what is okay to say to somebody without hurting anyone’s feelings. A twenty-one year old male student at Brown University was expelled for yelling racial comments at people while under the influence of alcohol. I could understand if this boy was arrested for ...
