Effects Of TV On Children
Number of Words: 1268 / Number of Pages: 5
... so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or reading a book could also be fun. They could actually become dependent on this one source of fantasy, and never bother to create their own. As the child grows older, it is less likely to put effort into playing with other kids, or taking up a hobby.
While losing creativity, the child can also gain impatience. By having all the stor ...

Reform Movements Of The Nineteenth Century
Number of Words: 1533 / Number of Pages: 6
... Males were mostly to blame for the mass consumption, and alcohol was beginning to be blamed for many social problems of the period. Temperance groups, such as the one in Lynn, Massachusetts, began to form and lobby for prohibition (Faler 369). Here, a group called The Society for Industry, Frugality and Temperance was formed. They believed, as did all other temperance groups, that the large amount of alcohol consumed, mostly by the male population, was a danger to society and was the cause of numerous social problems (Moloney 11/10/97). The major social argument was religious based. Many reli ...

Animal Rights
Number of Words: 761 / Number of Pages: 3
... I don't think it
is right for any animal of high or low intelligence, to suffer that way. In
other laboratories animals are confined to small cages or locked up so that thay
can't move. They are then used to test cosmetics and household chemicals. They
have chemicals poured on to their eyes and skin to see if they cause irritation.
These experiments would hurt the animals by causing burns and evn blinding them
sometimes. I don't think it is right to hold these animals, caged against their
wills and hurting them repeatedly. Nothing is done to ease or prevent their
pain and suffering. ...

Sex And Agression: Whip Me, Beat Me, Make Me Feel Like An IDIOT!
Number of Words: 283 / Number of Pages: 2
... Love is what I felt all the customers were looking to their
dominatrix for; and by them humiliating, beating and subduing them the customer
attained a feeling of what they felt was love, something that had probably been
lacking since early childhood. Aggression for the most part was released by the
mistress who, in my opinion, also needed that release of a basic instinctual
drive -- Aggression. This was probably fueled by a subdued hatred for men or to
attain that feeling of power one gets when they conquer something.
Another issue is the cathartic effect this type of expression has ...

Fetishism
Number of Words: 957 / Number of Pages: 4
... with the penis to the female reproductive organ was a
reminder to men that castration is possible. This anxiety would cause the
fetishist to associate his or her sexual desire with another body part or object.
By doing this he or she can link sexual experience with another part and
forget about infertility, humiliation, or anxiety. Usually the desire is linked
closely to the genitals, it could be something seen when the genitals were first
viewed, such as, underwear, or something associatively linkable to the
experience (e.g. fur, which could be symbolic of pubic hair).
In some cases klepto ...

What Is The Future Of The Family In Canada?
Number of Words: 508 / Number of Pages: 2
... the most important in people's lives. Following recent studies Robert
Glossop said that "Canadians continue to report that the most important things
in their lives are their families...more important than their political
convictions, their religious beliefs, their jobs, their wages." A Statscan
study reported that only forty-five per cent of families are the ‘traditional'
type, however, Robert Glossop says the data "tell me that people are still
living in families, but they don't look like the kind of families I grew up in
the 1950s; it tells me that people are still making commitments to one another ...

Put The Homeless To Work
Number of Words: 1216 / Number of Pages: 5
... Some are out there to clean your car or
just your windshield so they could get something in return for their
efforts even though they only get your car more dirty.
As I said before, most of the homeless that we have today put up
signs that say "will work for food." Most of them really want to work in
order to get some money for food and stay alive. So, why don't we give it
to them. We have a hard time keeping San Diego clean so maybe it's time
to get some assistance from the homeless. Will it be easy to put them to
work? I don't think it is that easy. This issue is a lot more ...

“Parents’ Socialization Of Children In Global Perspective”
Number of Words: 466 / Number of Pages: 2
... the Ojibway Native Americans when parents are involved in their children's’ life, greater outcomes are shown. This study, that Heath described, shows that not only one country is suffering from the repercussion of parent involvement. But all these countries have this problem. Almost every child is alike when it comes to strong parent bonding. The need for affection and acceptance is there. I agree with Heath when she stated “an involved parent is not one who spends the majority of the day near his/her child but rarely interacting with the child“. These words mean so much when looking in the eyes of ...

... 94-95).
The question is whether these generalised lab findings can be equated with real life. The experiments done in this field are all controlled. They do not correlate with real life problems. While these experiments support the argument, many do not live up to good empirical research. Cumberbatch (1989) examined the main methodological problems he felt were evident in many major studies of the relationship between television violence and aggression.
He focused on five areas that cause problems and question the validity of certain studies. Firstly, researchers have difficulty in handling non si ...
