.... he or she has the chance to make up his or her mind. Hate can become acceptable in many forms such as bigotry, racism, or sexism. By the words and actions of a parent the child can be abused, which will in turn lead to the second thing that a child does and that is grow. As the child learns from the parents he or she also matures into a likeness in someway of that parent. This begins a cycle that only creates more injustice and hurt. The child goes on feeling and acting the same way that the parents did believing its okay to feel and act that way as well as associating with people that share those same beliefs. The parent .....

.... be forced outside just to smoke a cigarette. It is not right. We should be able to enjoy a cigarette in comfort. We are entitled to the same treatment as every other student here at Albright. We are entitled to a comfortable chair when we want to sit down. It doesn't matter if we want to smoke a cigarette while we're sitting. The Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal, that they are endowed . . . with certain unalienable rights . . . among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Equal Rights Amendment takes this one step further by saying equality of rights under the law shall not be de .....

.... try the homeless life. 25% of the homeless are war veterans and most of them from Vietnam. They are mentally traumatised by their war experiences, some of them are disable and others are just unable to find work so they can pay a rent. 25% of the homeless are children and many of them are alone. They're maybe run- aways who left home because there was no food at home, or because they're victims of rape, incest or violence. Many of them are "throwaways", whose parents tell them to leave home or won't allow them to return home once they've left. Many of the homeless are elderly people with fixed income, and I guess that's not the .....

.... involved in their children's’ life, greater outcomes are shown. This study, that Heath described, shows that not only one country is suffering from the repercussion of parent involvement. But all these countries have this problem. Almost every child is alike when it comes to strong parent bonding. The need for affection and acceptance is there. I agree with Heath when she stated “an involved parent is not one who spends the majority of the day near his/her child but rarely interacting with the child“. These words mean so much when looking in the eyes of a delinquent child. Only if that child could have had a person, not nece .....

.... which were passed directly back to the Medicaid program. The current average cost to care for a patient in a nursing home is nine times greater than that of a single dependent child. The price of medical care, in general, has drastically increased. Expensive new technology and procedures are a large part of this increase. The need for these costly new technologies is not expected to decrease, the cost will just be passed on to the public through higher prices and higher Medicaid spending. And finally, an estimated 10 percent of Medicaid payments is wasted on fraud. This is mostly fraud by health care providers, with a minuscu .....

.... include looking up porn on the Internet and fighting. Swearing in class is usually punished with mild reprimand from the teacher. Fifty years ago, and even only twenty years ago, you didn’t dare say even the mildest swear word in the presence of a teacher. Another norm that has changed a lot is what teenagers do for entertainment. In the early twenties, teenagers generally didn’t have a lot of free time. What little free time they had was spent ice skating, swimming, and at hot dog roasts. Things got a little more interesting in the late sixties with the advent of the muscle car. One interviewee told me many stories of .....

.... to change their thinking and behavior to the social norms. The most apparent effect of conformity is shown in fashion and style. I ponder whether the majority of our population like the clothes they wear because they actually like them, not just because everybody else is wearing them. I find it hard to believe that 9 out of 10 people just have to own at least 12 articles of clothing sporting the Nike Swoosh, because it is that irresistible. I am not proclaiming myself a nonconformist, as I know conformity affects everybody’s life in one way or another. There was a time in my life when I was rushing to the nearest toy .....

.... Gays and lesbians are other groups affected by discrimination. There have been many suits filed for people being fired of their sexual preference. There was case of Daniel C. Miller, a CPA in Pennsylvania, who was openly fired recently because he was gay. Miller sued for wrongful discharge based on discrimination. Therefore, discrimination affects many people of all minorities. Ethical Code 4.02 Discrimination states that social workers should not practice, condone, facilitate, or collaborate with any form of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientatio .....

.... 1:00 pm- 5:00 pm , with work resuming at 5:00 pm and ending at 9:00 pm.. The idea behind Siesta is to escape the torturous Spanish summer heat during the hottest part of the day. That made perfectly good sense to me, because I was very reluctant to step foot out of an air conditioned space during those hot summer days in Spain. Among Spaniards and Americans alike, I’ve also realized another important fact; the body’s natural desire to shutdown after the noon meal. It wouldn’t be unbelievable to assume that a normal body function and Spain’s oppressive heat coupled together created a sound basis for normal everyday .....

.... really applicable. By many armed forces policies, females are banned from combat jobs and units, but in the Persian Gulf War females were assigned to battleships, aircraft carriers, and marine support groups dug into the desert. From their experience in the Persian Gulf, military women have earned the right to be treated as equals with men and not as protected individuals. In spite of their record as able combat personnel, there are laws and policies that restrict women in the United States Military from serving in positions that require them to engage in direct combat. Women in the Air Force and Navy are barred from aircra .....
