... lot of important information. Causing them to fail. Finally, Think about a sporting event you compete in or participate. What would it be without rules? It wouldn't be anything. People could get hurt if certain rules missing. Ever try playing football or soccer without rules. It usually turns into a blood bath. But with rules it loses some of its blood but it doesn't lose its fun in playing. I do agree sometimes there are stupid rules. Well all these examples are very extreme and I'm sure they'd never happen or won't happen for a very long time. But today in the United States it is even hard to even think what it would be like to have rules. So in my opinion the statement "you m ...

... we will become slaves in our own country. This country has been suppressing the liberties of people through their thwarting of protests and demonstrations that supposedly “posed a threat” to the public. This suppression has been a violation of the liberties of the people and is making the American people slaves of the government. 2. Not only do people have the liberty to be kind to others, but also unfortunately they have the liberty to hate. “One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian society is the imprisonment of individuals for their ideas.” (Huxtable, 1998) In a free and just society, if you commit a crime, you are punished for that act, not for the idea which motiva ...

... or not getting fired. Condition of work harassment, also known as environment or workplace harassment, is less direct, and arises when an employee is subjected to requests for sexual favors, sexual comments or sexual insults, but no negative employment consequences follow from the employee's refusal to accede to the demands made on her. can be defined as an unwelcome sexual advance, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. These constitute when submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly based on a term or condition of an individual's employment. Submission to, or rejection of, such contact by an individual is used ...

... current history but that is an oversight. Even in the "politically correct" society we live in today allows for these discrepancies, for in the Immigration Act of 1990 which brought up controls for immigration. Behind all these legal documents there are reasons that spurred these causes. Certain prejudices against certain races or religion. The prejudices were not always a color issue as the current immigration problems are. In the beginning it was primarily Europeans. In particular the Irish and German were thought of negatively. The percentage of the Irish in the Mid-Atlantic went from 45.9% in 1870 to 48.5 in 1930. Germans in 1870 went from 31.4% to 35.6% in 1930 . The common be ...

... and does have time to care of what's going on in their surroundings. The citizens of New York City would care less about the traffic safety and reading the traffic signs. The smell of the city reminds me of the honey roasted peanut stands, a sweet scent of aroma that would often fill up the neighborhood. When I close my eyes and think deeply about NYC, there has been a chime in my head of the messengers blowing their whistles to fight in the traffic while slicing left and right to get to their destination. New York City taxi drivers are the "killers" of the rush hour. Taxi drivers within the city are not afraid to use their horn. I must give a great deal of respect to the N ...

... communism. Almost every modern form of communism is based on Marx's and Engles ideas and writings. So then I thought, why isn't communism an effective government? Then I thought that since communism was derived from logic and science, it must not have human nature factored into its fragile equation. Well then I looked at the Russian Government and thought about what led to its downfall. Then I remembered the corrupt government and the lack of food. In addition the unmotivated work force and the crime rate, all of these reasons led to the fall of the Russian Government. The Communist government in Russia was a very corrupt government. Some government officials gave themselves high salarie ...

... the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor, infantry, and special forces--branches from which much of the senior leadership is drawn. “In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questions on women's role for the first time. Some 65 percent of officers and almost 50 percent of enlisted respondents said they did not think women were fully accepted in combat roles. While approximately 80 percent said harassment was not tolerated at their command ...

... with the ratification of the Constitution's nineteenth amendment on August 26, 1920(Cooke, 157). Although African Americans gained suffrage through the fifteenth amendment in 1870 (Cooke, 151), it was not until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that they were actually freed from discrimination by the government(Cooke, 150). Why is it then that in today's modern American society, an institution that prides itself on being "the home of the free and the land of the brave", a vast number of Americans are hiding beneath a shroud of ignorance when it comes to the issue of homosexuality? It seems that the gay community is being attacked out of fear and intolerance with this new bil ...

... of violence that is shown on television. Such statistics highlight the potentially strong influence TV can have on those who watch it. It is believed that people learn by imitating what they see, and children are particularly receptive to such learning (Freedman 96). Based on the research I've done I feel children model things they see and learn their aggressions from family members and from television. Therefore TV violence is a cause of aggressive behavior. Television and movie violence refers to the act of rape, abuse, assault, injury and murder depicted on television and in movies. Some people are against television violence, suggesting that TV violence cause aggressive behavior. Othe ...

... the effects of drug abuse on violence were studied. It was found that almost 56% of drinkers also used drugs while drinking. Interestingly, white males were found to be more abusive than black males. The study showed direct links from substance abuse to violence and crime. With drug use and violence rising, a direct correlation can be seen. Our society has created drug awareness programs in our schools, but obviously something must be changed in these programs. They simply are not working. The highest drug abuse numbers are seen in the teen year's age group. We must find a way to lower these numbers and reduce the number of drug users, especially children. When we have succes ...
