.... Child abuse is a matter of degree: the degree to which a parent uses inap-propriate or excessive control strategies with a child and/or fails to provide standards of care giving. In fact, abusive parents often do not know they are abusive. Our culture has, for generations, used corporal punishment as a means of controlling child behavior. Some parents think society places no restraint on such techniques. Many may recall the old saying, "spare the rod and spoil the child." It is not always clear what the limits are in efforts to get a child to behave. The best way to stop the child abuse and stop the abusive parents from abusing .....

.... out of their village, and in 1980’s Sikh immigrants were called ‘trash’ and told to ‘go home.’ I found the author’ s choice of words quite appropriate when she described the ‘people of the east’ in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Words such as Bluenoser, Gaelic and homogeneity were used to describe the vast majority of people who look and sound the same in the community. Throughout the article the author expressed her disgust at this racist incident although her friend, the black man, has learned to laugh it off. She stated she was still furious even though the patient himself says ‘everything is just fine’ when ask .....

.... 1941 President's Annual Address to Congress. "The first is freedom of speech and expression-everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. The third is freedom want-which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants- everywhere in the world. The forth is freedom from fear-which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a through fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical agg .....

.... them in efforts to improve the overall quality of life in their neighborhoods. It shifts the focus of police work from handling random calls to solving community problems. The Community Policing philosophy is expressed in a new organizational strategy that allows police departments to put theory into practice. This requires freeing some patrol officers from the isolation of the patrol car and the constant demands of the police radio, so that these officers can maintain direct, face-to-face contact with people in the same beat area every day. The new Community Police Officer (CPO) has a mission, which includes new ways to address .....

.... education environment and that the child must earn his or her way into the "regular" education environment. Those who support inclusion believe that the child always should begin in the "regular" environment and be removed only when appropriate services cannot be provided in the "regular" classroom.( Education Resources....)Then there are some people that believe that "regular" students and should be segregated at all times. Those people think that the disabled students will be disruptive and eventually cause more problems for the other students because they would be such a distraction. When I first began this paper I had ta .....

.... after high school permits them to grow and develop intellectually and personally. I feel that attending college plays a very important role in gaining experience for the real world, acquiring knowledge beyond my career field, and growing cognitively by thinking in new ways. College is the perfect time to learning to think cognitively because although learning continues through adulthood, it becomes more laborious the older a person gets (315).

"In 1995, Americans spent more on gambling than the U.S. government budgeted for defense: around $500 billion in all, or $2,000 for every man, woman, and child" (Vogel 1). Gambling, or "gaming" as the industry calls it, is fast becoming a part of many people's everyday lives. For years, Nevada was the only place you could go for gambling, but now legalized gaming has spread throughout the country. Whether it is lotteries, horse racing, bingo or gaming, there is a game close to you. What is meant by gambling? "Gambling is to bet on an uncertain outcome, or to play a game o .....

.... a Camel cigarette. It is not right to prey on young people just because they are unaware of the dangers of smoking. The tobacco industry denies that these symbols target people less than 21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching and loyalty. Many people disagree with this statement such as Illinois Rep. Richard Durbin who said "If we can reduce the number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know it"(Roberts 38). The problem we are facing is not only with the tobacco companies but with the young people also. The reason why I say this is because most youths kn .....

.... have to act friendly, such as school or work, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something aggravating, such as tapping the fingers an a table or chewing gum loudly. This is why I call them "pest friends." The second category of friends I call "social partners." This is because they are closer than acquaintances, but no where near as close as a true friend. Social partners are usually acquaintances who evolve into "guest friends" through increased extracurricular activities. You know their name, a little of what they like or dislike, a little of their family history, and usually have several thing .....

The lungs’ ability to consume oxygen was enhaced, but was not fully capable of filtering all chemicals. The muscles and the body frame were much larger than those of humans.
