... up to the main achievement. For instance, if a football team achieved its aim to win their district and the state championship, they would be successful. On the other hand, if the team set out to have a winning record, and failed, the season would not be successful. Success, no matter how big or small the goals are, can only be grasped through the attaining of those goals. Success must also be sought after. For anyone to have success, they must fight and strive for it. If a secretary of a large corporation worked their way up the ladder through hard work and sacrifice, they would be a success. On the other hand, if a secretary had a friend who got them a job at t ...
... part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of ...
... others to satisfy them. Prostitution should be made legitament by saving taxpayers money form not having to inforce the laws, creating red light districts and regulation. One could argue that as for as crimes go prostitution is a victimless crime, but others would say that it is a matter of public safety and disease control. Would harsher laws end prostitution or result in a lot of persons getting their car impounded? Regardless as to what effects harsher laws will have on prostitution, new laws are still being tried out in several sates in America. Advocates for legalization say that harsher laws have to be enforced and that cost money. One Los Angeles offici ...
... has found it acceptable for a football superstar to be found with an illegal drug to depart the judicial system with probation and again to play football. This is a true example of how people today in our society live their dreams through celebrities. People idolize immoral sport stars instead of holding in a higher regard common everyday people, who are God fearing, hard working, and ethically moral. While in this society it is hard to tell what is true, it is also hard when compared with other societies. For example, some European countries have legalized the use of mild drugs. These countries have attributed this toward less crime. Putting the questi ...
... It is an example of this mistrust as well as the confusion which goes through a childs mind. Since I was a little ten-year-old child, I had to deceive and hide from the world and my mother that my father took a sexual interest in me. Remember how you taught me that art of deceit? First you put me in a situation that had to be kept a secret then you pledged me to secrecy...As a ten-year-old child, what was I supposed to do? You are an intelligent man you figure out the options available to a ten-year-old in that position." (Rush, 1980) Guilt: The abused will feel tremendous guilt for a numerous reasons: They feel they did nothing to stop the abuse therefore ...
... outside more freely. In fact, all of the parents are scared of their children having accidents. However, most of the parents in the United States prefer their children to have more outside activities than just stay at home. In addition, most of the children in Hong Kong have no human rights than the children who are raised in the United States. Traditionally, many parents in Hong Kong punish their children by hitting when they make some mistakes. Because of there are no formal laws to protect the children from getting hit, some parents even hit their children without any reasons. On the other hand, the parents in the United States do not hit their children ea ...
... the trends cited: An inevitable rise in the percentage of teen agers who are unmarried mothers, exploding welfare rolls, and legions of high school dropouts consigned forever to joblessness. Yet none of these perceptions is true, according to a new Brookings book, The Urban Underclass. Edited by Christopher Jencks of Northwestern University and Paul E. Peterson of Harvard, this set of essays attempts to separate the truth about poverty, social dislocation and changes in American family life from the myths that have become part of contemporary folklore. According to a number of indicators the underclass is shrinking, writes Peterson in his introductory essay. A ...
... are less of a human. What are they thinking? Can they not realize that they are humans just like you and I? Since slavery, there have been all kinds of attempts to curve and abolish it; but as long as people are still here, it's impossible. One way that America tried to stop was an act called Affirmative Action. Not only did it not work, but also it is a form of all by itself. Affirmative Action is a quota for job employment and also for school acceptance, especially the acceptance in to colleges. It states that a certain amount of people from each race can be allowed into a school. It also states that employers have to hire a certain number of people from ...
... to nation-building. Denis Diderot was a French encyclopedist and philosopher, who also composed plays, novels, essays, and art. He greatly influenced other Enlightenment thinkers with his translations of Encyclopedie ou dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers, usually known as Encyclopedie. He used this translation as a powerful propaganda weapon against Ecclesiastical authority, and the semifeudal social reforms of the time. Protestantism is a good example also. It is one of the three major divisions of Christianity. It displays the release of traditional religion and the movement to worldly learning and the rise of protests against ...
... think that the same thing could happen to them if they do not show pity for those less fortunate. (Not exactly the proper motivation, but it will do if they get the required results.) Once we buy into this image of the homeless, the solution should be easy for us to see: simply build more shelters and public housing. To the extreme right are those that say the homeless have only themselves to blame. Their position is that regardless of why people become homeless, they have the power to rise above it and rejoin society. To them, we should offer assistance only to those who deserve it, and then, only temporarily. Of course, this solution has the problem of deter ...
