... I would accompany her as a chaperone to social gatherings. In the absence of my father I would represent the family at various family and social functions. Maybe that is why I grew up or matured, if I may say so, much before any of my or for that matter any other teenager around me. If I were asked to assess my character and forces that are responsible for its structure I would repeat what I have already stated. Now after doing the self-analysis from the book I am sort of lost. I do not know or let’s say that I did not know how science would analyze me. Maybe, as the results showed, I am pragmatic, a self-monitor, a non-risk taker and maybe even a person who ...
... and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy, and a good cook and gardener. And there is love and laughter and growing flowers and hot clams and a gourmet cheese omelet and square dancing, ...
... their lives. Advertising is a very powerful influence in American culture. Of concern is the false misleading nature of advertising. Sometimes it is a fact that advertising tends to make people unhappy, because they cannot have what they see. However advertising can also have good effects in society, by giving positive information. There are a lot of good, meaningful commercials. The government tries to prevent certain groups of people, mostly teenagers, from doing wrong and that is why it sponsors a lot of commercials that are against drugs. Also they sponsor ads that encourage people to go in to the army and earn money for college. Also, advertisement ...
... down to New York city to his lunch inns with Wolfshien or his other materialistic friends. Gatsby also brags and over exaggerates when a person asks him where he got his education from and his money. From this he gives a person a length full excuse just to impress who ever it is. Here is an example of Gatsby over talking a subject. “I am the son of some wealthy people in the middle-west--- all dead now. I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. It ‘s been a family tradition”(pg.69). After he says this to Nick. Nick saw and knew he was lying just by his actions. “he hurried the phr ...
... that is impossible to enforce. Curfew makes you feel imprisoned since you can not leave house for parties or be at one of your friend's house for long time. Lets say that I have to get some programs for computer from one of my friends and it might take a long time to do that. So after I finish and it will be past midnight, so I have to violate the curfew because it is too late and everyone is sleeping. By reason of an emergency or some kind of deed that might be lengthy and will violate the curfew, it might be impossible to obey the curfew. Finally, kids who are 17 years of age and below do not commit crimes. I do not know any criminal who is less than ...
... not only to himself or herself, but also to the greater society.” Responsibility is very important and a key essential to make a greater society. To have a greater society, each individual has to accomplish certain goals and ascertain certain unknowns. They don’t just have that responsibility to themselves but to the society. And as the society should progress, it will have to have the individual work hard and responsibly before the society works as a whole. As the individual takes on their own responsibilities, they should realize that they are bettering society not for them but for the future. And in the future many more unknowns will challenge us and it m ...
... the wilderness. The wilderness is being civilized for one main reason. That reason is technology. Technology plays an important role in everyone's lives today. Without it, we would not have computers, fax machines, cellular phones, and all of the modern conveniences that we have today. The fact is, that many people believe that the wilderness is like an unborn country. A country that has nothing and is striving to become more advanced. We see this as an opportunity to better it and make it seem like we are actually helping. But, are we really helping? In my opinion, no. I feel that we are destroying something natural and something of beauty. In man ...
... banned because in one song they used explicit references to male genitals and 87 references to oral sex. They used the word "bitch" more than 100 times and the f-word more than 200 times. Although most people agree that we are being overwhelmed with offensive material, there is no consensus on how to deal with the problem. There are three possible solutions. The first is the possibility of government censorship, which would include laws and penalties for breaking these laws. The second solution is self-imposed censorship by individuals and corporations. The third solution is total free speech with no censorship. The first possible solution is government cens ...

... onto the teams on the basis that most schools simply do not have a football team dedicated solely to the women football athletes. This lack of recognition for female athletes only becomes more frequent as one progresses through the levels of competition in virtually any sport. The games of women's teams, where they do exist, tend to draw only limited crowds at most levels of competition, scholastic or otherwise. In the realm of athletic activities, the American society has chosen not to offer the same opportunities to its women as it traditionally has to its men. For centuries, it seems, it has generally been accepted that sports and other activities relying up ...
