.... 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, and she doesn't want to go home. But, pitying her poor mother typing away all by herself in the lonesome apartment, she keeps her guilty secret that from now on she will be living for the moments when she can esca .....

.... (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or gives any more comfort or ease to the woman. The elective lesbian is seen as having "elected" to be lesbian. These are women who have experienced heterosexual relations and have decided that they prefer the same sex. This may appear as a choice, but it is far from that. The e .....

.... world around him before he can understand himself. Making the choice of obtaining a college education is extremely important in the world today. There are so many different areas which ro choose. Each individual must find where his/her interest lay whether it be janitorial services or a rocket scientist. However, some people choose not to go to college and still lead a happy, fulfilled life. Everyone is different and that is what makes our world so interesting. Another important choice in life is having a healthy body. The key to achieving a healthy body is diet, exercise, and rest. In the world today, doctors are c .....

.... are even follow-ups three years later and the percentage is still high. Through my eyes emotional intellect does mean a whole lot more than book smarts. Your own life experiences and what you've learned from them makes you who you are inside. For example if a person does three years in prison, and comes out they should have learned a lot. They will now be more aware of how they are carrying themselves on a daily. They will have come from a side of life where freedom was robbed from them so in fact, they will appreciate life more and be more patient about things. It is all about how you carry yourself through life, not h .....

.... some jobs are meant for someone more fitting then what they are. When god created women, he gave them the ability to have children. This advantage kind of gives women superiority over men. I'm sure if men were able to they would have children, but they can't. Back in the eighteen hundreds it was expected that women stay home and take care of the children and the men would work and bring home the money to support the family. Today there is still the man that goes out and works for a living and the woman who stays home and watches the kids, but we are steering toward a balance between the two. Families consist of two working p .....

.... entities, located within the state, lack the ability to execute legal principles or guidelines to avoid the destruction caused by war. The former Yugoslavia was built to address three fundamental aspects of the national question. The first is a nation’s right to build up its own state through demands for national self-determination. Second, the nation has a right to monitor other co-nationals or even to demand unification. The third aspect is the right of the minorities within the nation to resist the stronger groups influence on running the state. States like Yugoslavia have problems with making a resolution to the different .....

.... After the other team received their trophies, my coach told me to go and shake their hands. I looked at him twice to see if I heard him correctly, because I am a competitor and after a loss, I am not too happy. Though, I shook their hands. Afterwards, I was proud of myself, and the incident gained me respect from my opponents and the people in the stands. Sportsmanship is pleasant to see. It shows that athletes have learned morals, ethics, and integrity from their athletic experiences. Student- athletes, who display good sportsmanship, are positive role models within their school and their community. They know that good com .....

The third section will outline findings of research, suggesting that the distinction between social and personal identity has become central to theorising about the self. 1: Part One. that promote minority viewpoints are generally displaced by the majority as social out-groups or as deviant individuals. Their views are, at best rejected (as not important), and are often ridiculed or trivialised in an attempt to discredit them (for example, the treatment of gays and/or feminists). Research confirms that minorities exert more influence if they are perceived by the majority as ingroup members (Cited in Vaughan an .....

.... is that children spend an average of 28 hours a week in front of the television (Neilson 1993). This is almost two times the amount of time that some children are in school. At this very impressionable age it is no wonder that the images that kids see sometimes has a profound impact on their behavior. Fifty-five percent of children watch television with a friend or alone. (TV-Free America). Too often parents assume that their children are responsible enough to choose suitable programming. But the sad fact is that even some shows deemed as “children's television” are violent. A survey in Mediascope showed that a stagg .....
