.... Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time, however, chivalry had become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in which knights had originally risked their lives in jousting combat before the ladies, became simply elaborate, stylized, and harmless entertainments. Moreover, the expense of this and other trappings of knighthood led many nobles who were eligible for knighthood, having served the customary apprenticeship of 7 years as a page at a noble court and another 7 as a squire, or attendant, to a knight, not to become knights at all. From chivalry, always larger in literature than in life, comes the modern .....

.... that the word means opportunity and danger-threat. One might gather that the word crisis is bad, but it could also relate to a good situation. What the word crisis is trying to say is that it is a dangerous situation where there is opportunity at the same time. People who are in a crisis must evaluate their situational priorities and the available opportunities. Karl Marx might argue "capitalism would inevitably cause the expansion of the lumpenproletariat"(Kornblum 235). Luck plays a major part in capitalism. The more often one examines their situation, they are more likely to improve their personal gain. I believe .....

.... biological urge. According to Freud this instinct, is made up of the libido (pleasure) and "Thanatos" (the death wish) (pain). This basic instinct is present in the Id from birth, at first the aggression is relatively uncontrolled, but with the development of the Ego and superego it becomes channelled into socially acceptable behaviour If these impulses are not released periodically in safe ways, they soon reach dangerous levels capable of producing acts of violence. Sometimes it is released in the form of physical or verbal abuse against another, (where the anger is displaced onto another). Sometimes the aggressive i .....

.... the helpless gladiator would live. was granted only to those who had fought well, and their reward was that they would be allowed to fight another day. However, if the spectators had extended their hands with their thumbs pointed towards the ground, the victorious gladiator was ordered to kill his opponent. One source describes the judgment handed down by the spectators: According to the most common tradition, when a gladiator had overpowered his opponent, he turned to the spectators. If they wished to spare the defeated man, they waved their handkerchiefs; to indicate that he should be killed, they turned down their t .....

.... want to feel pain or discomfort. The lecture brought back some bad memories. A few years ago I found it most difficult to hear about the invasive test and procedures performed on my grandmother when everyone involved knew she had stomach cancer and it had spread to her bladder. It seemed cruel to insist an 89-year-old woman, who was confused due to the pain and medication, have chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This went on for about three weeks, until some of the younger members of the family, including myself, insisted that the procedures were more of a torture than a cure. Maybe or words instilled guilt on my uncle, or .....

.... room, then the child can be having problems that parents don't know about. This could not realistically occur though. Parents can detect problems with the children, outside of their rooms. If any mental or physical problems are evident with the children, then the results would show with the children's interactions with the family. Looking through the children's rooms and invading children's private property, is not required in searching for any problems. With careful observations of the children, problems can be found in a facilitated manner, without the risk of teaching kids bad manners of invading privacy. Parents always th .....

.... the near future. Many people are in belief that chaos, mayhem, and even anarchy will not occur in their lifetimes. And most possibly what they think is true, but they don't show helpfulness towards they younger generations. By making a large pothole, it may be very difficult to fill it. By ruining the world today, it seems as if we are striving to mayhem. In our society we are not working to help other people and just help ourselves. If we all worked together, and not thought so much about ourselves we would therefore show that we can work as a large family or community, thus helping us realize what drastic situation we ar .....

.... divorce counselor and psychologist, suggests different ways to communicate to your children about divorce. She recommends that children need to be told about the divorce before it happens (Divorce: Telling the Children. http://web.tusco.net/pfcs/prog%2033.htm). However, many parents fail to tell their children that a divorce is in the near future. For instance, John Lewis and his wife Phylis decided to get a divorce after several years of marriage. Their son Brian was 14 years of age at the time of this decision. Phylis one night packed her bags and left the house, without any explanation to her son about her leaving. The .....

.... found that today at age eighteen, while I feel grown up and mature I feel the need to act like a child, not for any particular reason except I feel twenty-five and need a way to make myself become younger than I am. If I would have rebelled I would have already found myself by experiencing life to its fullest. Not doing so I have not been able to find what makes me the happiest in life, how I think about issues that are controversial and my opinions. Rebelling helps a person find out what they want out of life by helping the person find their voice and giving them the ambition to do something. I have found that over the last coup .....

.... is the only one that is going to be addressed. There are many causes for child abuse. The most common are isolation, generation gap. immaturity, and alcoholism. Immaturity, unfortunately is the culprit of many child abuse cases today. Children suffer abuse because their parents/guardians are too young to cope with all the responsibilities and problems that go with being a parent (Dolan 18). If a young person doesn’t have the experience and hasn’t learned enough about raising a child, then there is no way that the parent could possibly understand the child’s development needs. Young abusive parents are strict disciplina .....
