Number of Words: 1267 / Number of Pages: 5
... larger portion of the university funding. The interest in male sports and profit made by the university allow male athletics to acquire nearly half of the university funding.

A loss of interest from the females creates indifference to female athletics by society, thus contributing to university views that see female athletics as unworthy and pointless of the spending. Recognition of women's professional basketball has come about only ...

... of a
popularity contest than a serious commitment. Over the years, I have been
elected to several offices and I have realized that if you are elected to a
leadership position you should perform the job duties because many people
are counting on you. I have tried to the best of my ability to live up to

appointed. Many are people deciding something needs to be done in there
town and doing it themselves. I have taken this kind of leadership role
in many activities including being a Junior Counselor at Camp. Each year I ...

democratic government in France and the conditions for vast future economic
expansion in England, also engendered a state of incipient conflict between the
property owners (the bourgeoisie) and the growing class of industrial workers;
socialists have since been striving to eliminate or at least mitigate this
conflict. The first socialist movement emerged in France after the Revolution
and was led by Francois BABEUF, Filippo Buonarrotti (1761-1837), and Louis
Auguste BLANQUI; Babeuf's revolt of 1796 was a failure. Other early socialist

... example, I just went through a rough time after my boyfriend broke up with me Saturday night, the day before Valentine’s Day. Not only was my best friend able to comfort me, but also my parents. My best friend told me that I should no longer let guys beguile their way into stressing me out, and that all guys are ‘jerks’. It was touching to have my parents willing to listen to my situation, giving me advice that I could use.
It’s hard watching my friends walk down the path that leads to destruction. It’s hard standing up for my moral standards. It’s hard being a teenager, but my parents, even thou ...

... from having sex but we can help them from making a big mistake. Condoms would be sold in our schools. Maybe they won’t be sold in public but they will be available in our schools. The selling of condoms in school will provide a way to protect themselves.
Another form of protection for our schools is actual police officers and metal detectors in the schools. Kids now a day have so many issues and problems in their lives. Kids are being killed all over America because these schools just don't think it will happen to them. They are just totally caught off guard when it happens right in their face. We mu ...

... parents and children three times in five years, and reported an
estimate of one third of the children come out of divorce unharmed. Another one

children after divorce. The areas most often discussed are intel ...

... type of parental behaviour," explains Oldershaw.
As a result of their work, Walters and Oldershaw have identified
distinct categories of abusive parents and their children.
'Harsh/intrusive' mothers are excessively harsh and constantly badger their
child to behave. Despite the fact that these mothers humiliate and
disapprove of their child, there are times when they hug, kiss or speak to
them warmly. This type of mothering produces an aggressive, disobedient

A 'covert/hostile' mother shows no positive feelings towards her child.
She makes blatant attacks on the child's self-wo ...

... did, it could improve the divorce rate. I think that we should just
get the divorce over with as quickly as possible and get to living our lives
again.
I know someone's dad who got into a relationship with another woman.
This person's mother got married at a very young age. She thought she was ready,
but she wasn't. After being married and having three children, her husband told

also. Even though the marriage could have been avoided, the man isn't supposed
to get involved with someone else. Getting married ties the co ...

have the objectable qualities ascribed to that group'(Lang)23"
The most common way prejudice works is by stereotyping people, that is
putting everyone form the same ethnic group together and assuming they all have
the same negative characteristics or behave in the same way. This does not only

Hate crimes are so hard to count because it is not certain whether a
crime is being committed out of hate.
In 1989-1991, a study d ...
