Each of the patients denied the existence of the disorder. Also, they each had peculiar attitudes toward food. Finally, each patient had pathological family interactions (Gordon 13).

Americans realized that England was stealing their rights, and they began to join together. It wasn't an individual against England, it was the country against England.

- ... E-mail: l-ayeni@nwu.edu Malcolm X Throughout history there have been many people who have stood out and made an impact in the way we think and comprehend things.

His militant views that Western nations were inherently racist and that black people must join together to build their own society and value system had an important influence on black nationalist and black separatist movements of the 1950s and 1960s. At the beginning of the movie, Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little. He was a young child trying to adapt to society's changes. He was looking so hard that he fell into the wrong crowd.

- 13177: Opposing The Death Penalty
- ... my thoughts. I always considered the death penalty one of those things which I never had to concern myself with. First of all I'm not planning to commit any vial crimes, and I don't think anyone I care about has those plans either. Secondly, I've never been conscious or concerned with the likes of criminals. When we began speaking on the subject, I thought we were only going ... if the law wants to inflict death as a punishment, it must understand that death is not a pretty thing. Criminals are painlessly put to sleep, and die in the same manner that Dr. Kavorkian's patients choose.

- ... to measure cranial capacity and proceeded to rank the averages and base them on racial differences. Many others of the time also insisted brain size was the main difference, going as far to state men’s brains being at a higher capacity than women’s. These famed anthropologists and scientists further prove how desperate they want a proven difference between races. These social beliefs unfortunately still carry forth today, although new scientific biological evidence proves otherwise. The actual dictionary definition ... is obviously a thin line separating everyone in the world, and it remains impossible to put a true definition on the word race. Nevertheless, why did these definitions come about? Simply put, to put one’s own “people” above another’s. White Europeans were insistent on being the dominant group of humans, and found ways to back-up their reasoning behind it. It became an attempt to justify this alleged ‘ ...
