Number of Words: 694 / Number of Pages: 3
... next to
African-Americans, when they are referring to the same group of people.
I'm not knocking what people want to call themselves, it's the mixed messages
I'm getting and the inaccuracy of the terminology that frustrates me.
Look around and you will see there is the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, the Black Muslims, and African-Americans.
All of these terms are used to refer to members of one group of people. Is it
any wonder I'm confused?
I have particular problems with the term African-American, a misnomer which
would lead me to believe these people somehow hold ...

Number of Words: 428 / Number of Pages: 2
... outlook is most successful and radiant. Although everything has both pleasant and unpleasant attributes, a pessimist overlooks the positive and dwells on the negative.

... 95). The US Surgeon General reports that, “domestic violence is the
leading cause of injury to American women between the ages of fifteen and forty-
four” (Briggs and Davis 94) . Abusers need to be stopped before its too late
for their victims.
Women are not the only victims of abuse. Children who live in a
situation where domestic violence is prevalent suffer in many ways. The
psychological impact of witnessing violence among many children is just as
severe as if they had been the victims of physical or sexual abuse themselves
(Krueger 94). These children who witness abuse at home suffe ...

"politically correct" society we live in today allows for these discrepancies,

were not always a color issue as the current immigration problems are. In the
beginning it was primarily Europeans. In particular the Irish and German were
thought of negatively. The percentage of the Irish in the Mid-Atlantic went from
45.9% i ...

Violence In The Media
Number of Words: 440 / Number of Pages: 2
... but hell, it is. I freaking
love to see movies where there are more scenes of mindless violence than there
are actual scenes of acting. These movies are aimed at the lowest common
denominator because intelligent movie goers are as extinct as the Dodo bird.
Movies like Showgirls make more money than Panther because they are more fun,
not because they are better. It will always be this way. The government should

Just for a moment, let's pretend we live in a future where TV containing
sex or violence is illegal, and so are video games and any o ...
