... advocate and they have supplied most of my statistical information. Today’s children are likely to see a tripling of the global population within their lifetimes. These children our are next generation of parents, voters, consumers, and leaders. The choices they make are critical to stabilizing the population and protecting the environment. Educating the youth of the future will help them to understand the problems the earth faces and how they can help by influencing and being the political leaders who can adopt responsible population policies. One problem the earth and its inhabitants face today is our lack of resources due to of the increasing number of people. ...
... members of a family." (Justice, pg 25) What this is interpreted as is that sexual intercourse does not need to occur for a situation to be considered incestuous. Stroking, fondling, or even intimately kissing can be considered incest. This is not all true for the law's definition. In Georgia, incest is defined as any sexual intercourse between known relatives, by blood or by marriage, (meaning a step-parent and step-child.) Incest laws basically exist to prohibit marriage or inbreeding between family members, and the sentences are almost never carried out. (Kosof, pg 53) So incest is stated as wrong, but not enforced. The Bible states that incest is wrong ...
... of a "normal" teenager. This category comprises the widest range of people and could definitely be sub- divided within itself. This particular category of teenager is slightly vague as it can range from teenagers such as "jocks" to "brains". The last of these categories, the "conservative" teenager describes the class of teenagers who follow the rules and teachings of the adult world without a complaint or rejection. One will most likely find a "conservative" teen in the front of the classroom trying to get as close to the teacher's desk as possible. One will find that this person is usually quite timid and quiet the majority of the time. The description ...
... how non-productive drinking is. The problem at college is that people study very hard to make descent grades during the week, but on the weekends they let loose and go on a drinking binge. Some of them make the grades and continue on with their education while at the same time continuing their drinking habit almost religiously. The people that go to college and drink heavily for the first time or mix drugs with large amounts of alcohol are the ones that are effected the most by binge drinking. There have been more and more deaths related to binge drinking every year and the numbers are still climbing. When I said that binge drinking effected the student ...
... it is to their elders, the leaders among them at least, that they must look for guidance if not perhaps for answers. Gun violence claims over 40,000 American lives a year. Among all consumer products, only motor vehicles outpace guns as a cause of fatal injury, and guns will pass them by 2003 (Violence Policy Center). Their are many different methods in , such as federal gun control laws, increasing penalties for gun-related crimes, banning handguns, on the television, and different types of gun safety practices. Today there are 20,000 different types of gun control laws in existence, (Bender 197) ranging from those enacted by municipalities and states, to th ...
... the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution and they are still continuing their efforts. Presently, women are supposed to have the same rights as men, but they are still often discriminated against. The numbers of women who have entered the work force has gone up sufficiently and they have obtained the same types of jobs as men, such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Unfortunately, women’s wages still don’t compare to men’s wages as they should. Often times, men are paid more money when they do the same job as women. Women are continuing their action to equalize themselves. There are many things women are doing to put themselves on the s ...
... without having to worry of prosecution. Without laws that would allow these enslaved women to resist, there is a presumption then that they were always willing to oblige to their master's requests for sex.2 This, of course, is not true. Not all slave women were so compelled to give into their owner's demands. For some slaves the only way they could resist the advances of an oncoming sexual predator was through resistance. Such an example is Jermain Loguen's mother. When attacked, "she picked up a stick and dealt her would- be rapist a blow that sent him staggering. She stood her ground even as he rebounded with a knife, and finally she knocked him out c ...
... all you hear are moans and groans coming from the back of the plane, insinuating something other than what is really going on, but there have not been any complaints about this ad, especially when at the end a voice says, “It’s organic!” meaning orgasmic. However, there has always been the controversy about Calvin Klein ads in magazines and on television. In the past, there was a big controversy that centered around the ages of the unprofessional models and the suggestions that the ads appeared to be portraying. Some of the models that were used were minors, and raised the issue of “kiddie pornography.” When I looked at this advertisement by Calv ...
... monotonous housework, dependence on the male partner for financial and emotional support, increases self-esteem because they are contributing to the world they live in. These women receive a renewed interest in life because they are in the thick of it. They are living life to the fullest. This model is the one that is constantly referred to as “bad” because it paints the woman as someone who does not really care about the effect of working will have on the baby. In fact, most of these mothers have made this choice with painstaking care. They are constantly feeling what everyone is thinking, and this in turn causes undue stress on these mothers. The other ...
... sign that men and women are not equal. The traditional role of the man was to work and the money he made would be used by all in the household. The traditional role of the woman was to stay home, take care of the children, clean the house, and cook. Because society has always associated money with power, the person bringing home the money had the power. The man often makes the f inal decision on all household matters because he has the money. The workplace is another place where men and women are not equal. The most obvious sign starts at the top. Look at CEOs of corporation; the majority of which are men. Women serving as CEOs are a rare sight. Another s ...
