.... a victim of a crime inspired by the movie "Magnum Force" (47). The man was forced to eat Drano and had his mouth duct taped, just like in the movie (47). The perpetrators had watched "Magnum Force" three times the day before (Leland 47). A similar incident occurred concerning the 1995 film "Money Train". A man named Harry Kaufman was killed in a Brooklyn subway tokenbooth (Leland 46). The booth, which he was clerk over, was torched the same way a booth was in "Money Train" (Leland 46). The movie had only opened three days earlier and within the next week two more booths had been attacked (Leland 46). Clearly violence is infecting .....

.... comrades. Paul and Anita by contrast have a dysfunctional (and loveless) relationship because society will not allow them to escape from their expected roles in society. The United States of the future (In Player Piano) has been transformed to the point where its appearance paralleled the popular idea of what it was like behind the iron curtain. Computers determine the course of a person's life, and there can be no deviation short of "dropping out" of society. The most valued asset in this futuristic nightmare is an incredibly high I.Q. The "men" with high scores are given more privileges, while those less fortunate are forced .....

.... as a place too dangerous to live in. A very obvious monster in America is a criminal. Americans fear burglars, rapists, and killers in their own cities and states. They are feared because their victims are people like themselves and are victimized in very familiar places to the average American. That is why people protect themselves with security systems and weapons. Criminals are feared mainly because their victims are random. People never feel completely safe knowing that they may be the next victim. Besides fear of monsters that pose physical threats, there are monsters in politics that scare people as well. Corrupt politi .....

.... of Florance, nude art works were accepted and common to see. Donatello was considered to be the father of sculpture using such details in all of his works. Michelangelo was considered to be the greatest of Italian artist. Michelangelo’s greatest works can still be seen around the world today. His fressico of the Sistine Chapel in Rome is admired by all. His fifteen-foot sculpture of David shows how much detail went into each and piece of artwork done by the artist of these times. New inventions were being made to aid these artists. Once the Renassiance was underway people were again studying and reading Greek and Roman phl .....

.... ambition. Rather than being praised for their decision to stay home, they often feel they need to defend it. Society talks so much about family values, yet gives little respect or value to stay-at-home moms who raise the families. In addition, stay-at-home moms find it challenging to provide a social setting for their children when being at home all day is the only stimulation they have. Furthermore, the strain of not bringing in money for a better standard of living can lead to self-doubt and isolation. That feeling of insecurity can be put to rest, however, with the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing that the child is bei .....

.... have throughout the years given new interpretations to old documents based on changes in society. After giving much thought, I have determined that based on current ideology regarding the poor, the State must provide assistance to those who do not have enough money for a required transcript. Over the past century, our government has created programs that provide benefits such as food stamps and welfare for those unable to pay on their own for food and basic needs. Justice Warren ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that the since the states have taken upon themselves the responsibility of educating all its children, it can not d .....

.... political correctness is an attempt at changing the way we look at things. The goal is to be respectful of all people and cultures. Unfortunately, in the process of fostering understanding, the culture and ideas that are presently embraced must be discredited and virtually destroyed. This “ traditionalist” power structure is constantly under fire in the debate over political correctness. Nontraditionalists have proposed that we “regard the creation of a culturally diverse community as not just fair, but as a valued objective in its own right.” (qtd. in Hoover and Howard 967) In order to fully understand the effects of .....

.... his strength and power is at first appealing, he too is unable to comprehend that life is in the living and the being, and not in the having and the controlling. Janie not knowing what marriage really meant, married because she thought he could take care of her. Marriage is defined as an insitution uniting a man and a woman in a special form of mutual dependence, often for the purpose of founding and maintaining families. As a social practice entered into through a public act, it reflects the purposes, character, and customs of the society in which it is found. Janie's questing spirit is crushed under the pervasive blindness wh .....

.... is black. The reality is however that blacks are more often victimized by blacks. The rate of black on white crime is now where near 34%. This predisposes white women to the fear that they will be victimized by a black person, thus creating a bias towards blacks. In regards to the candidate as a professor I feel that she didn't involve the students enough. As a result of this I found her presentation boring despite having an interesting topic. She failed to properly deliver her presentation. She read from her notes entirely too much. She seemed very reserved and almost shy at times, not what I expect from a professor. .....

.... i on would weigh as much as the entire Solar system, including the Sun... and by about 6700 AD - the human population would weigh as much as the entire Universe." The preceding paragraph, by Isaac Asimov describes quite alarmingly just how bad the population problem really is, that in considerably less time that has passed since the days of Julius Caesar the population will equal in mass of that of the earth. Most people assume that human numbers will stabilize at some point in the future. Hopefully it will, but not without conditions that will contribute to the solution of the population explosion, conditions which include .....
