This happens more times than not with these children running it does not solve anything; it just makes the problem five times worse.

Born Killers. My personal thoughts of Natural Born Killers is that this movie is very chaotic with a lot of energy. I believe the purpose of the movie is to have people think of the violence that is out there and how crime has invaded life with the media-promoted criminals like Charles Mansons, O.J. Simpson and the Menendez brothers bringing it into a circus. With aggression becoming a major part of the build up of the media doing live coverage from robberies to war, people tend to that violence is cool. What Natural Born Killers did is just bring it to our attention.

- 706: 1963: The Hope That Stemmed From the Fight for Equality
- ... Brutal as it is as a Negro gets his trousers ripped off by Conner's dogs -- is the attention-getting jack pot of the Negroes' provocation" (30). The pictures taken during this time are grotesque. Violence was out of hand. The Negroes persevered through it all. Of a similar march in Washington it was stated, "More significant than the immediate effect the Washington civil rights march would have on the Congress ... the Negroes' orderly demonstration of their potential as a moral force" ("They come marching up Conscience Road"). Things in the city of Birmingham started looking up. Then, just as suddenly as peace was coming in, violence broke out again as black residences and hotels were bombed and rioted.

- 707: Reservoir Dogs
- Gangsters, violence, murder and corruption !!!!! If these are some of the things that you're into, then this is your kind of movie. Be ready to watch it more than once to be sure to get all ... little confusing. The movie on the whole was really great. It was filled with some pretty gory scenes and extreme violent content, Tarantinos' trademark. The way he portrays the real life aspects of crime and violence are unbelievable. I wonder if he experienced some of these things himself and that's why he has a realistic view of them. Then again, I can't really gauge how realistic any of these themes are because after watching this kind of movie it makes me feel like I lead a really sheltered lifestyle. Why does all the violence in Tarantinos' movies become so attractive to us normal people? I think it's because most of his material is underworld stuff. He deals with things we can barely relate to. Topics that are ...
- 708: Political Correctness In The Classroom
- ... hallway a teacher took notice of my water-squirting device. She approached me and ceased the toy from my hands . Many elementary school educators believe that violent toys can lead, and often do lead to violence if the children are allowed to play with the toys in an unsupervised environment. Something that used to be considered good clean fun has become a constant frustration to teachers and parents everywhere. Many educators on recess duty who have observed children at play have come to believe that rough play which might look innocent can and often does lead to real violence. The goodness of teaching political correctness in the classroom is its ability to protect our children from violence, discrimination, and the unfairness that exist in this world. Political correctness is a good thing for kids to learn. I think that being politically correct is just being polite and considerate for the feelings ...

- ... because he and Craig smoked the pot. Big Worm threatens them and sends a gang of "hoods" after them with mach e guns. They just barely escape and are scared shitless. The amount of gang violence that can be contributed to the use and sale of illegal drugs has risen dramatically in the past seven years (Gates 67). It's no wonder that this is happening with th use of marijuana becoming so popular again. Violence and crime are issues we hear about every day. We can watch any news broadcast and see the evidence of these increasingly worrisome problems. In Friday, both of these issues are very apparent. Debone, the ... minds, it was still a ghetto. Poverty and other social issues make it what it is.......a very depressing and frustrating place to l e. Because of all the negative ways of life including crime, violence, gangs, drugs and all the other things I've referred to in this paper, I would conclude this would not be the kind of lifestyle I would choose to live.

- 710: Should Students in Public Schools Wear Uniforms: Negative
- ... should not be in public schools. You have to really look into depth on what uniforms really do and not use them as an excuse for society's problem. Wearing uniforms does not solve gang violence due to the fact that what makes a person lash out is on the individual of that person. All violence can not be associated with gang violence. As I quote "Do not judje a book by it's cover." Having parents buy school uniforms is not economical, having big industy's provide clothes for students can cause much corruption and create ...
