.... or other general fields of study which didn't challenge their mental capabilities. Another stereotype is that pro athletes received preferential treatment while in college. Many believe that if an athlete needs a certain grade to remain eligible to play sports, then the faculty would grade him or her lighter than the rest of the class. We have also stereotyped athletes as "above" the law. There have been, on occasion, incidents where a pro- athlete is treated better by the justice system than an average citizen wo! uld be in the same situation. We are satisfied to say it's because of the athletes fame and wealth, but fail to reali .....

.... in male sports and profit made by the university allow male athletics to acquire nearly half of the university funding. Extended funding allows the fields of male athletics to be more "luxurious" with options for its members; thus, much interest is lost in female athletics by females. A loss of interest from the females creates indifference to female athletics by society, thus contributing to university views that see female athletics as unworthy and pointless of the spending. Recognition of women's professional basketball has come about only recently, with the formation of the woman's national basketball association (WN .....

.... at all. Far from increasing individuality, capitalism standardizes it and so restricts it - that it survives at all is more an expression of the strength of humanity than any benefits of the capitalist system. This impoverishment of individuality is hardly surprising in a society based on hierarchical institutions which are designed to assure obedience and subordination. So, can we say that libertarian socialism will increase individuality or is this conformity and lack of "individualism" a constant feature of the human race? In order to make some sort of statement on this, we have to look at non-hierarchical societies an .....

.... ways," states Ron Mitchell. He came from a good home, had a good upbringing, and cannot seem to pinpoint anything in particular that would lead to his murderous spree. The Picasso of the serial killing community, Ted was good-looking, charming, intelligent, self-assured, with a brilliant future, and deadlier than a rattlesnake. Using his good looks, he was able to invisibly abduct and kill his victims and continue with his seemingly charmed life. From early 1974 to early 1978, the stranger called "Ted" stalked young women on college campuses, at shopping malls, in apartment buildings, and grade schools in Washington, Oregon .....

.... You may not be as popular as a conformist, but you will probably earn more respect for standing out. Non-conformists could actually have more time and money on their hands for themselves because they don't need to spend time or money on things that will help them fit in. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson's idea, "Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist," because man is free to do whatever he wishes--we're not robots that are programmed to imitate. In other words, we have our own individual minds and personalities and we need to put our uniqueness to work. .....

.... best pick from a limited group." Another article I found, "Affirmative action: A Counter- Productive Policy" by Ernest Pasour also on the W.W.W., is one example which reveals that Duke, a very famous and prestigious university, adopted a resolution requiring each of it's department to hire at least one new African-American for a faculty position the 1993 date. More proofs of Affirmative Action in action is the admission practices at the University of California Berkeley. In the same article by Pasour, it states that while whites or Asian-Americans need at least a 3.7 grade point average through high school to be in considerat .....

.... phrase, but it encompassed all of the philosophies that a straight-edge person believes in.  There have been theories that an earlier punk band, called the Teen Idols (which included Ian MacKaye and the drummer from Minor Threat*), started the ideology of straight-edge, but the term was not used until MacKaye wrote and published the song.  Minor Threat have since disbanded, but hardcore fans everywhere still follow the words of the song. (MacKaye later joined up with the punk band Fugazi and is tragically no longer straight-edge.) The symbol of straight-edge, the X, which is commonly seen on straight-edge apparel and pai .....

.... materials should marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In the words of Justice William O. Douglas, "no one is compelled to look" (Brownmiller 663). There is no concrete manner to define materials that are "obscene" or "offensive" because various images come to mind among individuals when words similar to these are used to describe pornography. To classify a distasteful picture from a beautiful one comes down to a matter of opinion and taste. In previous instances, such as the Miller Case of 1973, the Court attempted to define which materials could be judged as lewd or indecent: Th .....

.... week." Ms. Faulkner, fighting back tears, explained that two and a half years of stress had "all crashed in" on her in the first days there. After not quite making the cut, and surviving the stress and trials of these places, they say that it is because the men were too hard on them. "Too hard" is not a valid sentence in the military, you are either tough enough or you fail. I am not a sexist, don't get me wrong. I know many woman who are my intellectual superiors whom I admire. I have even met a few that I probably would not want to mess with. What I am trying to show is that while in some cases they can function in com .....
