Paglia explains the weaknesses of the feminist ... understand the fundamental reasons of the rape. She explains that the men are biologically programmed to "hunt, pursue and capture mode" (407). Since the boys in fraternity houses usually come from good families and don't look like rapists, date rape can easily occur at a party because the young women are not educated enough. Women cannot defend themselves if they are not educated enough. Society is not to blame for ... used by Paglia to demonstrate the behavior of men and women in Fifties. The message she tries to give is that since then, fundamentally nothing is really changed and this movie tells the truth.

- ... employment, but it specifically excludes drug tests. However, many companies hoping to avoid defamation suits retain a medical review officer to examine test results and possibly talk with the person concerned, to see if there's an innocent explanation for a positive test result.

- 4477: The Promotion of Products and People
- The Promotion of Products and People What are the differences between Coca-Cola and corporate executives? Or better yet, what are their similarities? According to Scott Charles and John T.
