Gay Marriages-Acceptable To God And America?
Number of Words: 1559 / Number of Pages: 6
... and the incident at the McDonald’s was a bunch of stupid, homophobic morons. These days crimes targeting gay and lesbian couples are heard on the news frequently, and it sickens me that such ignorance exists in America. I grew up attending a church that viewed homosexuality as a sin, but my personal feelings would always conflict.
I believe the argument can be derived from the nature vs. nurture perspectives. Groups such as the Christian Coalition and the American Family Association (AFA) state that gays are perverted pedophiliacs that lure young, unsuspecting boys to become gay as themselves an ...

... resist are revealed according to the author in defined sex roles and the sociology of the superordinate.
Sex roles he maintains at one time were attributed to biological differences, an explanation that no longer works. Men and women’s talents are now overlapping. Technology and tools are available to both sexes to house, feed, clothe and protect ourselves. The explanation of the sex roles is left to cultural definitions of sex roles and the social pressures that keep each in its place. Men’s resistance isn’t to changing the narrowly defined terms of the male role, (e.g. macho, active, competitive, uns ...

... would abuse or kill the most precious thing children with is another living thing modelled out of both of it parents.
Like I mentioned before violence, sex and other actions thought to be taboo by previous generations have made their way into our everyday life and thoughts throughout our new median of communications. Most of the things that are under fire by people have been around since the beginnings of humanity but people have been afraid to talk about these issues as if one is afraid to speak to someone for the first time. I believe that television has helped our society alot more than it is ...

The Real Issue Of Youth Violence

whole life. I annihilate over a million aliens, monsters, and green slimy
things every year. Yet, I have never felt compelled to commit any act of
violence that I see on the screen. What is on the screen stays on the
screen. I have known that from the very beginning. My parents taught me at
an early age that what is on the screen is for fun, and it is not to be
done off the screen. Video games actually act as a release. If there is
trouble in the home or problems in school, one has the opportunity to play
a video game to displace anger; much like beating up a pillow. "'But such
claims (why video ...

Why Corporal Punishment Is No Longer Justifiable In Discipling Children
Number of Words: 267 / Number of Pages: 1
... to avoid being beaten. Grown ups had little respect for the
children, making them do slave labor at home, and display best behavior in
school. When looking back, I can see why corporal punishment was allowed to
be used.
The year is 1991, the students are all rebels without a cause... If
corporal punishment was used today, it would fail. Kids no longer are
expected to act like they are in church for their complete childhood. If a
child is caught talking in class, the teacher does not whip or beat them
like years ago, instead: writing the childs name on the board, or giving
them detention does the ...

analytical specifications of the exact sciences," surrealists were
dedicated to, in breton's words "pure psychic automatism intended to
express the true process of thought free from the exercise of reason and
from any aesthetic or moral purpose". as strongly influenced by the
psychoanalytical ideas of freud, which at that time were gaining prominence,
as it was by the deconstructionalism of dada, surrealism emerged as an
organized movement at the beginning of the 1920's, a period marked by "the
confused and inert stupefaction of a collecti ...

... continuity in their lives, and may be unwilling to risk forming deep friendships. They experience depression as a result of leaving familiar places and people, and may fall behind academically as they miss school. Children who have to keep moving have no sense of roots, personal space, or possesions. Most see life as temporary, and are restless and leaving projects half finished. Nearly all cling to their few possesions and can be agresive trying to claim something for themselves. Because they lack control in other areas of their lives, nearly all of the kids will literally fight for control at s ...

Violence: Children Who Own The Streets
Number of Words: 2418 / Number of Pages: 9
... First of
all, we have to realize this is a very serious problems. And it has to be
stopped. The second step is to figure out what causes children to be violent
and become juvenile delinquents. This negative attitude causes them to lead a
life of delinquency and a life isolated from society's idealistic world. When
we ask these question, many others come in mind. Does these problems begin in
the family? Are parents good role models or are they condoning the violence? How
can we prevent parents from destroying the minds and future of these children?
If we try to deny a teen who seeks help, they ...
