... that other people can consider weird or outrageous. Their ideas can be good and honorable as well as freak and dumb. TV creates an ideal of a 'perfect' woman and man with all the paraphernalia and pressure connected with it. Many young women (as they appear to be more susceptible to that tension) put themselves on diet, wear strange clothes etc. just to fit in the 'official' picture. People buy 'proper' brands of outfit, cosmetics and even food, they become the slaves of fashion, fashion that often is nothing but garbage glittering and shining on the surface but empty and dull inside. Tracks from ...

Affirmative Action
Number of Words: 542 / Number of Pages: 2
... the idea of , it must be admitted the basis of the policy is one of unfair advantages based on race or gender.
When the Civil Rights Act was passed, its spirit was not one of reverse discrimination but off getting employers to consider applicants objectively in filling jobs within their companies (Pasour 2).
How can "equal rights" be in effect when a more qualified candidate loses a position at a job or institution, not because of merit, but because of their race or gender? This reverse discrimination is not a myth, but reality.
At Berkeley, before the recent attempted revolution, Asians and whi ...

The American Oligarchy
Number of Words: 910 / Number of Pages: 4
... other emotion, it is difficult for all to become angry and make erroneous judgments simultaneously. If all the men are good men and good citizens, they are less corruptible than one man. However, seldom is this the case with American politics. There are far fewer politicians then there are low class workers or unemployed, and yet these politicians decide upon most all of the important decisions the country is faced with. The only time the rest of the people are involved is when these politicians spew out money and promises in an attempt to gain the popularity of the public whom they are so far from. A ...

Gender Role Reversal
Number of Words: 515 / Number of Pages: 2
... female clothing. I wanted to make sure that I took into consideration what is negative about the entire gender role itself from a male's perspective. So, I got onto the Internet and joined a transsexuals chat channel. I felt this would give me a great new point of view about being a male. One valid issue that I feel society has made men view as being horrible is men buying and wearing female clothing. One male mentions how females can buy boys' items or girls', and are not viewed with amazement. I, for one, have and do on occasion wear men's clothing. Why shouldn't I be viewed as weird or gay; but a ma ...

The Political Issue Of Airbag Safety
Number of Words: 424 / Number of Pages: 2
... This is certainly a political issue because many people debating it,
trying to change the law in their favor. The article mainly talked about
regulators setting new standards, requiring new and better airbags for all
cars. New and better technologies mean more tests that cost money from auto
manufacturer. Maybe the new technology or new airbags it self cost more
money to make. As I learn from my economic class, it not hard to figure out
that the increase cost of producing also will also result in the increase
in the cost of consuming. Because it would be impossible to expect the auto
industries t ...

... planned to catch the consumer=s eye. 1993 By the start of the year, 98% of U.S. households own at least one TV set, 64% have two or more sets. Companies will use innumerous ways to coerce the customer to consume their product. Association is a major one.

Even colors in decorating can be planned to produce a response. Fast food places such as Burger King use warm colors like orange and brown. Coincidently, looking at those colors tends to increase a ...

Number of Words: 602 / Number of Pages: 3
... color,
taste, etc... Atoms form life, consciousness, and the soul, and when our
body dies there is nothing left of the latter except for its parts, which
randomly become parts of other forms.
Matter is never ending reality, only changing in its form. In the
philosophical system developed by Irish philosopher George Berkeley,
Idealism, Berkeley states that physical objects, matter, do not exist
independent of the mind. The pencil that I am writing this essay with
would not exist if I were not perceiving it with my senses, but in the
dialogue between Hylus and Philonous Berkeley attempts to show thin ...

The Balance Of Power Theory
Number of Words: 622 / Number of Pages: 3
... by any other state, which leads to the assumption that they must
build up power and form alliances. Throughout history we can see the B.O.P.
concept in action. The clearest example of the B.O.P. concept can be found in
the Cold War. In the Cold War the two superpowers the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
held a stable world balance between them. Both states sought to deter
domination by the other through a build up of arms and through the creation of
strong alliance systems. Under the B.O.P. theory the logic of the Cold War
stratagies and alliances seems apparent, with the best method of security b ...
