.... six years in prison. What factors decide the outcome of such individuals? Some experts feel there is no absolute answer, only speculation. There is however, a strong relationship between environment and the outcome of offenders. Low income, poor education,drugs, and family breakdown are some factors that keep repeating in cases of habitual offenders; however, the public sees the problem lies with the availability of guns and lack of morals. Only one factor stands out in both public and professional opinion, drugs. To deal with crime, we must first go to the root of the problem. The American society is a breeding ground for vio .....

.... the “manly” elements, while girls mastered home economics in chores like sewing, cleaning, and cooking. Although this society has experienced rapid chance over the past forty years, we still see some segregation in childhood behavior. Growing up for me was never easy. My responsibilities included tending to the housework, helping prepare dinners, doing laundry, and caring for my younger sister everyday of the week. In contrast, my brother’s only responsibility was to mow the lawn once a week during the warm months. The responsibilities lasted throughout my childhood, but as I came closer to adulthood, I began to develop mo .....

.... commitment. I must constantly look at where I am now and evaluate where I need to go from here. There will never be a time in your life where you are at the top. You must keep climbing the ladder of success. Fortunately I know that. I have a good G.P.A., but I know there is always someone smarter than me, so I continue to expand my knowledge. Also, there are many obstacles that will stand in my way. Most of the decisions I will make in the next ten years will have a profound impact on me as a person, and society as a whole. I hope that we, as the graduating class of 2000, make good decisions because we are the future. .....

.... would not do a cross-gender form of comparison if you wished to expose whether or not homosexuality has always been feared and looked down upon by most people throughout history. No, rather you would perform a historical comparison of two or more different societies to see if these beliefs always existed, or, whether or not this is a newly constructed belief. Let's look at little more closely at the above mentioned historical comparison and see how the comparative method works with a specific example. There is no question that in today's western society there is a lot of fear and trepidation towards people who are labeled .....

.... values are alike. One value of my generation is the right to opinion. Ways of showing our rights to opinion is we have protests about what we feel is right and what we feel is wrong. Another way is the clothes we wear, we like to wear big, baggy clothes but society frowns upon this because they think we carry weapons or drugs and that we hide them in our clothes. Our opinions on life are a good way of showing our right to opinion because we are set on certain beliefs and we stick to those beliefs and rebel against authority figures that try to change our beliefs. Another value is our freedom in life. We like freedom in the wa .....

.... turned their agenda to issues that offended many Americans. They crossed the line of personal and moral decisions and made ridiculous accusations toward men. The first feminists were necessary. Modern feminists have lost touch with American women and “unconsciously undermined genuine equality”. It is no wonder why men and women try to distance themselves from feminism. Long before Europeans came to the “new land” with their Judeo- Christian ideology, patriarchy was the exception not the norm. Women, their bodies, and ability to give birth and nurse children were adorned. Women did eighty percent of the hunting unt .....

.... they were doing the right thing. The police that the author talked to said they would have reacted the same way and most of the police officers that were interviewed said that was the right thing to do. Some said they weren't rough enough. What people saw in this case was the police officers beating Mr. King without mercy. I don't think that's what happened I think that's what people wanted to see. "What people think they see in a police incident is not always what happens" Sergeant Stacey C. Koon. Now what the public thinks is a different story. According to the author "the people of the United States of America think the .....

.... women belonged in the work place, but rather men were drown to the higher paying and more socially appreciated managerial jobs brought on by the industrial revolution. School boards did not mind these talented leaving because they could higher a "less qualified women" for as low as one fifth of males salary for the same job. Susan B. Anthony was the first women to publicly speak out against this gross injustice towards women. After being fired to "replace a male teacher fired for incompetence,she was paid one third of the salary he had received,"(Reifert 74)she went to the state teachers convention of 1853 to register a pro .....

.... from the outcome. This presents us with the old saying: "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you." Social organization originates out of self interest. All society is for gain, or for glory. It is not like we think it is—for love of our fellows. Instead it is for self preservation. It is a sort of social contract. In a state of nature we are at war with each other and life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. In a natural state individuals are in equal powers. Voluntary collective organization is the most effective way for individuals to utilize their powers. Man should be allowed the right to use all m .....

.... norms that have developed over history are unequal. Women are looked at as the “abnormal” (17 Tavris) of the genders. However, there is no essential difference between males and females. The difference lies in how individuals are raised and rewarded for certain actions. A little boy playing with dolls will immediately be told to consider guns or to climb a tree. Tavris illustrates this view of “nothing [being] essential - in the natures of men and women…” by an example of how politics and the UN “have ‘important’ issues (drugs, economics, war) and then ‘women’s issues’ (daycare, birth control, peace .....
