... social behaviors, personality differences, problem solving intellectual abilities, perceptual abilities, and esthetics. Cultures differ with respect to two major classes of variables: biological and ecological. Biological variables include such factors as diet, genetics, and endemic diseases. Ecological variables include such factors as geography, climate, political systems, population density, religion, cultural myths, and education.

From an Anthropological standpoint, this would be helpful in tracing a culture's roots through it ...
... sank into my stomach. The officer asked if I knew why I was being stopped. I was speeding and I knew it. The officer went back to the car and began to write the ticket. While I was sitting in my car thinking, I thought about how much trouble I was going to be in and how much money it was going to cost me. I was at the brink of a nervous breakdown. Afterwards when I finally got to exhale, I got to thinking. What's the big deal? It's just a little traffic ticket. Sure, I may get in trouble, but who cares? It's just a small detail in my life. I can whine and complain, or I can focus on the more important things in life. Why waste away the days feeling gloomy a ...
... yourself on the home page of someone who has made that subject their life's obsession. What he or she has to say raises questions you would never have thought to ask. And they provide links to even more astounding sources. Web surfers experience a giddy sensation of boundless variety and boundless possibility. How the world talks to itself is permanently changed. In the jargon, it has shifted from one-to-one (telephone) and one-to-many (broadcast) to many-to-many (the Net). Power is taken from the editors and distributors in huge over-cautious corporations and handed to no-longer-passive, radical everyone. Individuals on the Net initiate and control content to s ...
... user sees his body shrinking and growing weaker every day. Because of the aggression and mood swings produced while on steroids and the depression caused after quitting, steroids are very damaging psychologically to most users. Steroids produce fast gains in muscularity and body size because they take over the body's hormone system. According to Joe Weider, publisher and editor of many bodybuilding, health and fitness magazines, "When an athlete takes steroids his body's own production of muscle building hormones is cut off. Those athletes who have taken the drug shortcut, eventually are passed by because their body can no longer function in a normal way" So ...
... styles of clothes all come together wearing similar pants, shirts, ties, and shoes. A required dress code and hair restrictions, helps everyone to be more comfortable by wearing similar clothes, otherwise, people may feel different with less cool clothes. Hairstyles help ease this integration as well by giving each person similar styles making everyone feel more at ease. The overall unity helps the students realize that although people may look similar, the idea that everyone will be greatly different. These different ideas are in everyone, and and hair restrictions help show us that just because someone looks the same, they do not think the same. When the student ...
... are: Is the ignition interlock program effective in reducing impaired driving recidivism? Does it have an impact on more serious, persistent impaired drivers? Finally, does the program continue to be effective even after the interlock device is removed? (Weinrath) Random sampling of Canadian drivers who had their license suspended between 1989-94 did the I.I.P. (Ignition Interlock Program). The sample was done with 994 offenders’ age 20 and up. 125 of them were female, 701 were male and 189 ignition interlock cases. The breakdown was 168 I.I.P cases and 826 drunk driving offenders for the comparison group. These tests were done in Canada and others were done i ...
... them: kids, husbands, elderly parents, the home, the groceries. One huge problem faced by all women whether they work or not is TIME. Brand- loyalty is just one strategy that women implement to save time. Receiving a promotion is an event to be celebrated. Employees promoted to the role of manager are confronted with a new set of responsibilities and yet, too often, these employees lack management training and development skills. Consequently, new supervisors are faced with a difficult rite of passage - learning through trial and error. "To ensure the smooth transition from employee to manager, the virtue of continuous learning must be integrated into the corporat ...
... would force them to work harder and harder for less and less pay. How, then, were the factory owners able to recruit farm girls as laborers? They did it by building decent houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use when they got married. The young factory workers did not earn high wages; the average pay was about $3.50 a week. But in those times, a half-dozen eggs cost f ...
... The human race is the only animal that will set out to commit genocide or slaughter its own kind by amounts I can not begin to fathom. The human race has done this many times through it’s past and shows no signs of altering. Nazi Germany almost eliminated the entire Jewish population from Europe, and killed millions before they could be stopped. Communist Russia, under the leadership of Stalin, conducted many tests and experiments on humans that lead to the deaths of millions more for no purpose other than to satisfy one man’s curious side. The human race for centuries, and in some parts of the world still does committed slavery. Brutality of human ag ...
... your life to the study of past prophets, in order to God to allow a person into heaven. Hell is a very real place to those people who believe in it. They give many descriptions of Hell, depending on what their idea of the good land is, whether it is heaven, nirvana, or something else. It can be everlasting damnation. It can be everlasting restlessness. It is what each person makes it out to be for themselves. It frequently is a place created in Paradise Lost, an epic poem about the book "Genesis." It has a part that describes Hell as a place of great heat, one where it is eternally on fire, where Lucifer rules over all. It is a place where no one would want t ...
