... on the influence our family have on us. Our family brings us up to think and do certain things to better us. We all feel a sense of living up to certain standards that our family puts upon us. In today’s society we all want to be better than everyone else. When we see families which are better, we feel the pressure either from parents or from ourselves to try and improve. We don’t want to compromise the integrity of our family. School is important to all of us and the pressures that come from the schools are high. We all have the pressures of achieving good grades, and doing well so that we can succeed in the future for us and our families. In school, you ...
... monster was not evil when created, rather that the creature was made evil by the surrounding environment. Victor's immediate response was, as Shelly writes, "Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath" (??). The monster soon understood that he was in fact hideous. Shelly writes, "Knowing social opinion, the monster explained after his agonizing shock of self-discovery, 'All men hate the wretched'" (??). Whereas the cloning of humans may not produce a being like Victor's creation, there is little doubt that society may react harshly to this new type of being. The expectations would be enlarged for the creation, which may lea ...
... by the shooting. The strongest argument presented in the letter written by Hutson and Anglin was that unless the root causes of gang formation are effectively addressed, and gang access to illegally obtained firearms is nullified, gang violence will continue. The claim was presented in such a fashion that, while based on widely accepted ideas, an appeal to the emotions through sympathy for the injured children was also applied. To justify their claim, statistics such as 28 children under the age of 10 were murdered between 1987 and 1994, 95% of which were murdered with firearms and over half the murders were done as drive-byes. Unfortunately, the means to correct ...
... are acquiring more and better jobs than ever before. Will the women even out with the men in the workforce and share an even percentage with them at 50% a piece? Or is it possible that women will overtake the men and the men will be forced to pursue their equal rights? This experiment will attempt to answer that very question. In a setting where the qualifications are equivalent, do women or men have a better shot at landing a job? Is there now a discrimination against men for no other reason except the fear of not hiring a woman? Do college males have the same chance of being hired as college females in and around the campus? Perhaps the women ...
... for the Mexican heritage by saying all that is wrong with them. He shows their flaws, weaknesses, and imperfections. I believe your heritage makes up who you are and that is you, so you should never disrespect yourself by disrespecting your heritage. I believe thee way he sold-out was by disrespecting his heritage. the Mexican- American is still trying to decide weather he is going to live Mexican or American. When the Mexican-American says, "The only thing I don't like is how come I always got to play the goddamn Mexican-American"(Page-384). You are unsure by this statement weather he is selling-out his Mexican or his American lifestyle. You know he wants to pe ...
... recent research it is believed to be more unlikely. Others have said that children identify with an opposite-sex parent and copying their behavior, this coupled with a distant same-sex parent makes the argument even more believable. It is also possible that homosexual parents reinforce certain types of behavior, either homo- or heterosexual (Bailey 125-126). Some say that hormones affect the sexuality of children, which may be inherited from the parents. For example, an anatomical difference in the hypothalamus of homosexual men has recently been identified, but the reason for this difference is still unknown (Golombok 4). Sex hormones are seen by some as th ...
... were members of a Greek organization. "The first fraternity was founded for literary and social purposes at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on December 5th 1776." (Klepper 1937:24) Throughout the nineteenth century many new fraternities were founded, but none of these were permanent. By the end of the nineteenth century there were over thirty general fraternities in the country. Today's fraternities still have the characteristics of past fraternities. These characteristics include "a ritual, oaths of fidelity, a grip, a motto, a badge , friendship and comradeship (Klepper 1937:56) . During membership one must learn lead ...
... birth are low-income or poor. Maybe these teens can’t afford to learn more about sex. We need to teach this in more of our schools! The average teen spends 23 hours per week watching TV. Prime time TV contains roughly three sexual acts PER hour! Studies have proven that this viewing is associated with sexually permissive attitudes and behaviors. Until we, as a society, decide to take charge and develop responsible media messages that encourage positive behaviors and attitudes, this will continue. I disagree very strongly with the author’s choice of harsh words geared toward teen parents. The author is telling them to act like adults and take responsibility like ...

... left in the world. In a communist government the government runs everything, the businesses and jobs, they pay everyone equally. This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a Democratic-Republic, that was the reason why the United States was formed. China though has not always been communist. In 1949 Mao Se Dung started the Communi ...
