Number of Words: 481 / Number of Pages: 2
... mass. Another major difference was in the
music. The English mass had the "traditional" European "angelica" type singing.
The Spanish mass, however, had more upbeat music, along with the use of

became a source of public revenue. Consumption of legal alcohol became only

If we follow the alcohol example with all other drugs, the benefits will

... one's self to look or behave like
another because it is more desired by the public is due to a disregarding of one'
s self-claimed morals and values, an over emphasis of the media and outside
opinions, and an insecurity which most of us unfortunately have.
In My First Conk, Malcolm X assured that black people were being

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
