... drugs, you as a
parent need to try to understand why you teen has committed the crime. Only
when you understand the child, then you can give the appropriate punishment.
Another important factor in discipline is to make sure that the teen
understands why what they have done is wrong, and show them scripture to explain
it. If a child does not know why what they have done is bad, they will likely
do it again.
A parent needs to make sure that their rules do not contradict each
other. It is easy to restrict one bad influence, and not another. Many

... million fans, the largest ever for a single season. The Camel company goes on to use a celebrity to sell their product. This is one aspect in history that we still see today. The employment of famous athletes to promote the sale of products is as big today, if not bigger, as it was in 1934.

... were receiving all of the benifit. This perception still holds strong today,
although not as strongly.
Men said that women were to fragile to vote. Yet no man has ever experienced
labor pains. Furthermore no man has fought any battle that was as hard as the
one the famous five women have fought. The Election Act of the Dominion of
Canada states that "No woman, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote." So women
are equal to criminals? It's not a crime to be a woman. We should not be judged
by our sex. On April 19, 1916 women in Alberta were granted the right to vote. A
small battle was won. Five ...

... that kids are unintelligent and simply rebelling against established English grammar and diction. However, most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. Adults have been frowning on slang for generations (Crystal 104).
Conservatives also look down upon slang because slang is not used by people of high status. If they hear someone speaking in Jive, they will be angry because Jive is not the way that high class people speak. People who do not like slang are usually prejudiced as well. They do not want to hear other ways of talking because it deviates from the way they talk. Also, mu ...

... who feel pornographic material is obscene or offensive and do not care to partake in it do not have to view or read this type of material. This material is not being forced upon anyone. Why take away something a person enjoys if it is not hurting anyone else? What people do in the privacy of their own home is their own business. Who’s to say what a person likes or enjoys is wrong because another person does not agree. Playboy and Penthouse magazines are read and enjoyed by many Americans today; however, many people find these magazines offensive and obscene and others find these magazines to be a ...

... the knowledge of the Baron. Women didn’t know anything about money or about the sciences. Cunègonde, was so fascinated by the sciences that she would hide in the bushes to listen to Pangloss teach a private lesson to her mother’s maid.
The Baroness’s who were wealthy, were viewed primarily as hostesses. The reason why the Baroness’s were liked so much was because their husbands had beautifully decorated castles. This was the case for the Baroness of Thunder-ten-tronckh. “ The Baron was one of the most powerful lords in Westphalia because his castle had a gate and window” (pg. 41). His cast ...

... being a crime. A simple example of this is when grocery
stores all raise their prices for certain food products. People then refer very
casually to this act as a crime or that these prices are criminal. Individuals
in our Society often have a fear of being victimized by others, such as the
government, friends and or strangers. This fear is often equated with crime
since all crimes have a winner and a loser or victim as would be the legal term.
This equation often makes involvement in these acts of "crime" a personal thing.
Which results in stronger feelings and sometimes irrational thinking towards ...

... similar to the most popular brand.
Careful consideration of the preceding description of consumer choice
behaviour and the firm's selection of a strategy immediately leads one to

... plutonium. A Kilogram of plutonium occupies
about 50.4 cubic centimeters, or one seventh the volume of a standard aluminum
soft-drink can.
In addition to this, analysts have found that security is much to lax in
even the supposedly "most protected locations". For example, the Russian stores
in particular suffer from sloppy security, poor inventory management and
inadequate measurements. Then there is the virtually nonexistent security at
nuclear installations that compounds the problem. The main reason for this lack
of security is that pay and conditions have worsened and disaffection has become ...

... unwilling to learn more about it. This ignorance breeds disease and death. Racism, H.I.V., teen pregnancy, homophobia, and criminal activity in general are spawned through lack of education, or unwillingness to recognize our responsibilities.
Second, I feel that communication plays a vital role in the assessment of cause and effect situations. People often choose not to speak about the things on their mind. To convey your thoughts and emotions in most cases could help in finding the wise answer to a certain predicament and may prevent disaster. For example the death of a homosexual teenage boy could p ...
