- 2292: Tennyson as a Victorian
- ... English history. To many people, she was a symbol of stability and prosperity as evidenced by the following feeling from her people. The Victorian age has been said to be a very diverse time. Historian T.B. Macaulay in 1838 said that the English had become "the greatest and most highly civilized people that ever the world saw." Yet, another man by the name of Benjamin Disraeli, who was a writer and a politician, disagreed with this statement and pointed out that the existence of an England of "two nations who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were ... of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the ... one in five Englishmen could vote. These men were generally from the upper class and they controlled everything. To many people, this was a light of hope that England would improve, but during the 1840's England saw the worst years of the century for unemployment, hunger, and disease. It brought radical working class agitation for the People's Chapter, which demanded universal male suffrage and a Parliament in which ...

- 2294: Anxiety Disorders
- ... in a corner in the dark all the time. I was scared all the time, and through all of that, I scared my son to death. He would come to me and say "mommy what's wrong, why do you do these things, please mommy let me help you". But he couldn't help me, I couldn't help myself. I decided to go to the counseling center first, just to see if I could talk my problem out. There I found my salvation and my sanity. I was told that I ...
- 2295: Demanding Greatness: Steroid Use
- ... style which would lead to drugs such as steroids.3 There are many reasons why people use steroids. But the two main ones are to excel in athletic competition and to look more like ones ideal of a perfect body.4 Many athletes are representing their school, state, or territory they come from at the competitions they are involved with. Most of these competitors dont want to let down their fans in fear of rejection of being classified as a loser. Athletes might turn to drugs if they are looking to run faster, longer or to obtain a higher stamina. They might want to become tougher or grow larger muscles. Even sports that dont require much physical activity, such as billiards or shooting, are affected by steroid use. Competitors in these sports are looking for steroids to calm their nerves or steady their reflexes.5 Some younger athletes ...
- 2296: Feminism And Gender Equality In The 1990's
- Feminism And Gender Equality In The 1990's Overall, the rights and status of women have improved considerably in the last century; however, gender equality has recently been threatened within the last decade. Blatantly sexist laws and practices are slowly being eliminated while social perceptions of "women's roles" continue to stagnate and even degrade back to traditional ideals. It is these social perceptions that challenge the evolution of women as equal on all levels. In this study, I will argue that subtle ... sexism continues to exist throughout educational, economic, professional and legal arenas. Women who carefully follow their expected roles may never recognize sexism as an oppressive force in their life. I find many parallels between women's experiences in the nineties with Betty Friedan's, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs ...
- 2297: Lord Of The Flies Story
- ... knowing of the harmful radiation that surrounded what once was the great capital. Slowly though, things were getting back to normal, shops began opening, and the war started to shift to the back of people's minds. Life was becoming more normal, but the memory of the war was still there, and always would be. Unfortunately, my memories of our time on the island would never shift to the back of ... that became animals, people that were worse than animals - murderers. And I myself, was one of them. I was slowly getting better, but I never got through a night without hearing the chant and Simon's furtive screams as we jabbed, attacked and mauled him, without seeing Piggy's fat body flying into the air and then crashing down on the rocks. I had never recovered from those experiences and at no time had a job. I live in a small, damp apartment ...
- 2298: The Death Penalty: Justifiable
- ... 1986. A man named Esquel Banda had just raped, stabbed and strangled a 74 year old widow by the name of Merle Laird in her own house. Banda then sucked the blood from the woman's mouth. Does that describe a kind, gentle man, who is not a threat to society? A man who values life or a man that deserves life when he seems so eager to destroy it? I certainly wouldn't think so. Some people believe that the death penalty is wrong, what do you think? Is it OK for a man to commit heinous murders but not OK for our valued legal system, who's outcomes depend on ordinary people like you and me, to decide to terminate that mans life for his crimes to others? The death penalty is just that; a penalty. Its intention is not to ...

The decade ended under the shadow of the viet nam war, which deeply divided americans and their allies and damaged the country's self- confidence and sense of purpose. Even if you weren't alive during the '60s, you know what they meant when they said, "tune in, turn on, drop out." you know why the nation ...
