... two sections in which one is the section of "resource availability and waste", and the other "the continuity of life support systems pertinent to survival." Thus, the environmentalists believe that nuclear energy should not be used for various reasons. First of all, the waste product, i.e. plutonium, is extremely radioactive, which may cause the people who are working or living in or around the area of storage or use, to acquire leukemia and other cancers. They also show how billions of dollars are spent yearly on safety devices for a single reactor, and this still doesn't ensure the impossibility of a "melt down." Two examples were then given of Chernoby ...
... States Senate Committee on Juvenile Delinquency held a series of hearings during 1954-55 on the impact of television programs on juvenile crime. These hearings were only the beginning of continuing congressional investigations by this committee and others from the 1950s to the present. In addition to the congressional hearings begun in the 1950s, there are many reports that have been written which include: National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence (Baker & Ball, 1969); Surgeon General's Scientific Advisory Committee on Television and Social Behavior (1972); the report on children and television drama by the Group for the Advancement of Ps ...
... are frightened away by the homeless man living on the corner. It hurts those who have to commute to work via public transportation and must deal with the panhandlers. It hurts those whose homes are burglarized by the homeless man looking for money to feed his family. There is no isolated problem in society and each problem has a ripple effect that eventually hurts everyone. Even if only for selfish reasons, every individual should help to solve the problems of society. A parallel that I can draw to further illustrate my point is the team play of former NBA star Earvin "Magic" Johnson. When asked why he is such a team player, he responded that he was a very selfish m ...
... I was not impressed. Maybe these would apply to Franklin's day but not to the twentieth century. With a few subtractions and additions the list of virtues may be a helpful tool in any persons life. Temperance is first on the list and is the most important of the virtues. As Franklin states, some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but this was not Franklin's intention. "Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head, which is so necessary where constant vigilance was to be kept up, and guard maintained against the unremitting attraction of ancient habits, and the force of perpetual temptations."(Perkins, pg322) This is t ...
... The Olympics is the epitome of sports for all people, male, female, as well as color, and ethnicity from around the world. Title IX was supposed to change the world, and it has: the number of women participating in college sports has jumped up considerable since the law was enacted twenty-five years ago. But the world changes slowly. U.S.A. Today surveyed 303 Division I schools to see where Title IX has taken us in it twenty-five years and found that men still get most of the money. Taken together, the results are like a “good new, bad news” joke. The good news: the number of female athletes has increased 22% since 1992. The bad: for every one-doll ...
... in trying to understand the difference between the two se xes, such as life style, interest, etc. Being in the same classroom ev ery day this might not be able to let them concentrate well enough on their studies. Besides the above advantages, studying in a single sex school would also keep attendance problems to a minimum. Boys and girls, being in the same classroom every day would naturally talk about activities aft er school such as going for movies, having a drink in the evening. In a sch ool of single sex, the students will not be given any extra temptations t o skip or be late because of their social life. Opinions from the public seem to indica ...
... in what they are doing. If you have been to a fast food restaurant lately, you can see how that reflects in the service that you get. Another method is to create a distinguished history for a company. This would include how the company was started, who founded it, accomplishments and contributions, and other bits of information that would complement a company. The media happens to be one of the most effective tools. There is a very strong love/hate relationship between corporate communicators and the media. On one hand, communicators need to get their messages out. The media also needs news to report. When communicators have a story that they want to get ...
... do, Those who don't, and those who do, that you won't do. The last group and by far the least important, are those who would do Anything with Anyone that you won't do. These women aren't usually very attractive. They are more often than not, quite heavy. They are NOT desirable. These are the women, who after you've been drinking heavily all night, at 2:00 A.M. still don't look good. You can see them lined up at the exit to every bar, looking quite sad, lonely and pathetic at closing time, hoping and praying to get lucky. Unfortunately this hefty flock is usually good in bed. Logic of course w ...
... of Gerbner, Ross, and Zigler (1980) "Malnourishment, sexual abuse, failure to feed and clothe a child, beating a child, torturing a child, withholding medical care from a child, allowing a child to live in a "deprived or depraved" environment, and keeping a child out of school have all been defined at various times and in various laws as "child abuse"(p. 82). The definition of child abuse varies over time, across cultures, and between different social and cultural groups. Many of the books and articles that were researched for this paper had difficulty defining child abuse. Professional groups were given a list of items and were told to choose which ones they co ...
... In the fourteenth amendment it declares, “No [governmental organization] shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any [governmental organization] deprived any person of life, liberty, or property...” This means that the fourth amendment completely applies to a student. The fourth amendment declares that the school cannot search a person or seize his/her property without reasonable cause. Each individual has these rights. This means that if some students are suspected of using drugs, the school does not have the right to search all students. So, if a coach believes he/she s ...
