... of his sports car as he attempted to make a turn on the corner where the girls were sitting. This article involves the day of Mr. Park's conviction, the reaction of the girls' parents and also the reaction of Mr. Park's mother. The problem of dangerous driving as viewed from a theoretical standpoint can easily be identified with the social control theory. The control theory questions not what motivates individuals and society in general to indulge in societal deviant behaviour but rather examines what is within the structure of a society that causes individuals to conform to social laws. A social control theorist would argue that it is social pressures that pr ...
... had killed them), the Europeans said out to capture African slaves. They were shipped from Africa by the Europeans in what was called The Triangular Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This was an organized route where Europeans would travel to Africa bringing manufactured goods, capture Africans and take them to the Caribbean, and then take the crops and goods and bring them back to Europe. The African people, in order to communicate invented a language that was a mixture of all the African languages combined, called Creole. This language now varies from island to island. They also kept their culture which accounts for calypso music and the instruments used i ...
... were looking to their dominatrix for; and by them humiliating, beating and subduing them the customer attained a feeling of what they felt was love, something that had probably been lacking since early childhood. Aggression for the most part was released by the mistress who, in my opinion, also needed that release of a basic instinctual drive -- Aggression. This was probably fueled by a subdued hatred for men or to attain that feeling of power one gets when they conquer something. Another issue is the cathartic effect this type of expression has as a means for deterring non-consensual sexual activity. This statement was illustrated best by the man who had ps ...
... down easy and that is nice of them. Why is it so hard to fit in? There is so much social pressure now that it is getting harder and harder to "fit in". When I say social pressure I mean how to act, look, sound, walk, and so on. Clothes play a very important role in fitting in with the crowd. People say that a first impression is the most important one so people try to make the best first impression by dressing up or showing someone there not. Some people try to stay in fashion, they do this to stand out or be noticed. A huge role in fitting in is changing or, in other words, being someone you are not. To describe this I think of putting on a mask over your whole ...
... religious borders, to name a few. What may be considered very attractive by one group may even be seen as repulsive in another. The gangster with tattoos all over his body, clothed in attire that is much too large, with rings in all the most unexpected places, and sporting an outrageous hairdo, considers himself very attractive indeed. Yet, so do the tall, smartly dressed businesspersons with their suit, tie, and white handkerchief. Men and women of the Victorian era, when women's ankles were not even permitted to be exposed, would surely be shocked at the revealing outfits that have been donned by members of today's society. In other words, one's perception of be ...
... and sex portrayed in many forms to be beautiful. However, there are also many extremely conservative individuals who take offense to such "artwork" and find its contents appalling. And those who enjoy the nudity and sexual content exhibited in pornographic materials should marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In the words of Justice William O. Douglas, "no one is compelled to look" (Brownmiller 663). There is no concrete manner to define materials that are "obscene" or "offensive" because various images come to mind among individuals when words similar to these are used to describe pornography. To classify a distasteful pi ...
... support (Piazza 86). Covert racism assumes a form of civil disobedience against politically correct thought and speech. Essentially, covert racism is a "hidden" racism, or a racism not easily detected (Piazza 78). "Racism is still strongly prevalent in today's society" (Gudorf 3). The three different basic forms of racism, open racism, violent racism, and covert racism all express forms of hatred towards distinct ethnic groups (Bender 47). These basic forms of racism, although different in form, all have the same main purpose, to promote racism. Open racism expresses freedom of racial thought and speech. Open racists promote their views through strict ...
... abortion and terminate her pregnancy at any given time. The Roman Catholic Church has said that abortion is murder and violates all terms of human morality. My personal opinion lays between that of the Roman Catholic Church and the Supreme Court. I believe that a woman should have the right to an abortion only if she was raped and can not afford to have the child, or if she does not know who the father is. If the woman just want's to have an abortion for no reason, believes that the baby will be born with a handicap, or will be born with a disease, life threatening or not the abortion should not be permitted to take place. Within the past year President Clinton ...
... society's expectations. You may not be as popular as a conformist, but you will probably earn more respect for standing out. Non-conformists could actually have more time and money on their hands for themselves because they don't need to spend time or money on things that will help them fit in. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson's idea, "Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist," because man is free to do whatever he wishes--we're not robots that are programmed to imitate. In other words, we have our own individual minds and personalities and we need to put our uniqueness to work. ...
... example of this is: A white person and a black person are applying for the same job and the person hiring is white. The black person has a higher education and more experience, but the white person is offered the job because he is white. Sexism: is a way of thinking and behaving as though one sex is better than the other; especially, unfair treatment of women by men, caused by thinking this way. You should not treat someone different because of their sex. Woman and men are equal in most ways and can usually complete the same tasks equally well. Narrow-mindedness: is another form of racism. Narrow-mindedness is like when somebody predetermines by the way you dres ...
