prevalent in today's society" (Gudorf 3).
The three different basic forms of racism, open racism, violent racism,
and covert racism all express forms of hatred towards distinct ethnic groups
(Bender 47). These basic forms of racism, although different in form, all have
the same main purpose, to promote racism. Open racism expresses freedom of

persuasionary tactics. This form of racism is allowed in our society because of
the First Amendment. Open racism is currently almost ...

... real people just like us. They may think and act different that people we are used to being around. However they still need to be treated with kindness and respect.

... their studies.

also keep attendance problems to a minimum. Boys and girls, being in the
same classroom every day would naturally talk about activities aft er
school such as going for movies, having a drink in the evening. In a sch
ool of single sex, the students will not be given any extra temptations t o
skip or be late because of their social life.
Opinions from the public seem to indicate that schools of sin gle sex
are more popular than co-ed schools . If this system was not beneficial
then all the schools such as Br ...

have to put on a front with your relatives, they will almost always accept you
for who you are.
Another value that was influenced by my parents as well as television, is
friendship. Even though your family is always there for you, friends are still
very important to have. Having friends will usually raise a person's self-
esteem. By having friends you know that you are a good person, and that people
like you. Friends can also help you cope with problems that can't be discussed
with you parents. If I am having a problem with any part of life, I know I

... that she could not withstand the
rigors of "hell week." Ms. Faulkner, fighting back tears, explained that two
and a half years of stress had "all crashed in" on her in the first days there.
After not quite making the cut, and surviving the stress and trials of these
places, they say that it is because the men were too hard on them. "Too hard"
is not a valid sentence in the military, you are either tough enough or you
fail.
I am not a sexist, don't get me wrong. I know many woman who are my
intellectual superiors whom I admire. I have even met a few that I probably
would not want to mess with ...

Animal Rights

... lab.
Every year millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine ‘the safety’ of items ranging from eye shadow to oven cleaner. The eye irritancy test described above is only one of the tests that convince me that animal product testing is absolutely wrong. A lethal dose test force-feeds animals a particular chemical in order to see how toxic it is. It may also be injected under the skin, into a vein, or into the lining of the abdomen; mixed into lab chow, inhaled through a gas mask or introduced into the eyes, rectum, or vagina. Experimenters observe the animals’ rea ...

... She wrote many books about worthy causes such as peace, and endured harsh criticism of her work. Perhaps the most radical of the three, Emma Goldman, took her work for women's rights one step further. Although she was skeptical about suffrage, Goldman worked for contraceptive information to be given to the "New Woman".

These articles seem to be justifying corrupt political practices such as graft, for the sake of individuals (such as George ...

the opportunity to be clean when we all know that she doesn't have the same.
She calls hot water a "luxury"(Parker 237). To those living in poverty hot
water is a luxury. The unimpoverished take it for granted and never before
considered it anything other than a basic possession. When the reader hears
that someone else calls it a luxury that they cannot afford, he or she can't
help but feel guilty for having it as a basic possession. Parker also attacks
the guilt of the reader through stories of her children. She knows that so ...

... has a claim hereunder as a woman acting
against the subordination of women. Any man, child or
transsexual who alleges injury by pornography in the
way women are injured by it also has a claim.
[emphasis added]
My goal in this paper is to suggest that a slight modification to this
