Hardships That Children Face
Number of Words: 929 / Number of Pages: 4
... the child is basically being programmed before he or she has the chance to make up his or her mind. Hate can become acceptable in many forms such as bigotry, racism, or sexism. By the words and actions of a parent the child can be abused, which will in turn lead to the second thing that a child does and that is grow. As the child learns from the parents he or she also matures into a likeness in someway of that parent. This begins a cycle that only creates more injustice and hurt.

were concerned with the education system in North America. The focus of these
feminist groups captured the attention of teachers, parents, and students. At
first the evidence for inequality in schooling was based on no more than

Canada Lacks A Real National Identity
Number of Words: 1127 / Number of Pages: 5
... with a nation, Canada. This is one
of the main reasons we lack a Canadian identity, because we as Canadians do not
really think of ourselves as Canadians. We may be Canadians but we think of

and carry on ...

... I hope to show what is accepted
in our society today, compared with only several decades ago.
Application

satisfied just being in the same room as she. There are not any ulterior motives
evident. Auden would be categori ...
