.... of the Sioux empire. The traditional for of fighting for the tribe was simple, it went something like this: Fight until the problem is solved, don’t fight simply for the sake of killing some one, to do so would be dishonorable. This style of battle highlighted the fact that the Sioux people were not savage killers, but simply fighters for peace. The reason that this tactic did not work on the whites was because the white man’s ethic of fighting was no where near the ethics of the Sioux. White man believed that they had a given right to annihilate anyone they wanted. This is why the tactics of the Sioux people were not successful .....

.... reasons, most of which allow them to relate better with others. It gives them something to talk about. It allows them to share knowledge and meanings. As I have learned from the reading, commercial radio disregards communicative purpose. It does so because commercial radio does not consider communication as an end. Rather, it views communication as an instrument to be used in achieving an end which, is money. Every movement made by the broadcasters is directed towards this one goal. Any action done beyond what is necessary for this motive is deemed superfluous. Such a motive also represses the growth of new ideas and innovatio .....

.... in universities that they choose. Even the students' averages are low, they can still go to universities that don't require high averages. Therefore, many students can easily study in this highest level of education. However, all courses are mandatory in Taiwan. High school students study the same courses together no matter what they plan to take in the universities, and thus it is hard for them to know what they are interested in. After graduation from high school, students have to write a major exam on all kinds of courses to achieve a score, which determines if they are satisfied for their chosen studies in the universities. Each year, .....

.... the student as more than a student, but as a friend. The opportunity of education should not be missed by anyone; no matter what caliber of intelligence they might posses. Material can be altered to better fit the small minded, just as long as the basic facts get through to them. If the less intelligent people are not given an education, they are useless to society. The goal of a productive society is to have all of its members participate in their community as efficiently as they can. Those, whose intelligence surpasses other’s, should be given a challenge in every circumstance available. Harder work should be provided, but not .....

.... with the medium of exchange being digital information of all kinds. Bill Gates states that the ability to change and manipulate information and the increasing speed at which is it handled places us at the beginning of an “information revolution.” Since almost all information in the future will be digital, conventional communication devices will be altered. As soon as the cost of communication drops and it is combined with other technological advances, Bill Gates predicts that the results of this interactive information will be like the effects of electricity. He also predicts that the house of the future will have one wi .....

.... Accompanying this index, usually a forecast of the weather to come in the next few days manages to make it on the front page also. Some papers actually save the die-hard sports fans some time by having a miniature scoreboard recapping the scores of the day before. Remember that this doesn’t apply to all papers only to some. Newspapers constantly look for more readers and to help attract these readers many attempt to dress up their paper. While some papers remain basic and plain, others add color and size to font in a try to appeal to readers. Background color adds a little life to an otherwise regular dull off white that norma .....

.... such as becoming a nun. Make-up is one of the strongest conventions of this society. The western world view, as a whole society has the convention that beauty is young looking, “enhanced� features on a person, therefore without it you must try to achieve it, this is done mostly by wearing make-up. This society believes that the skin must be smooth looking and the eyes must be framed in order to stand out. Man y people have conformed to this, and to state that there are degrees of conformity may or may not be fair. One can not partially conform. Many things are not black and white but conformity may not be, it does not have a gr .....

.... the Puritans escaping religious persecution, the Colonists in search of a new crop to make them rich, or immigrants looking for a better place to live and raise their children, all are given a chance to achieve the goals they have set for themselves in America. For example, when the Puritans came to America in search of religious freedom, they were given the opportunity to start fresh and practice their faith; most of them cherished this occasion and eventually achieved spiritual fulfillment. Of course, this achievement was not effortless: the Puritans demanded more strict doctrines and often fought among themselves in order to agree on su .....

.... the new crease rule. The obstruction rule has been one of the best rule changes ever in the NHL. Players are not allowed to interfere with other players if they are going into the play were the puck is. This new rule has cleaned up the game of hockey tremendously. Some of the obstruction calls are, obstruction hooking, obstruction holding, obstruction tripping, so on, and so forth. When the obstruction rule first came into effect there was way more penalties, now the penalties are becoming less. The request for an Olympic size rink still has not been approved by the NHL. The NHL has talked about upgrading their regular size rink t .....

.... Stories about supernatural solutions to crime or psychic powers date as far back as biblical times. One instance is the story about Saul and his servant sent to look for some livestock by his father. After three long days of looking the servant suggested that they ask the local "seer" or psychic for help. The psychic told them that if they waited three more days that the sheep would turn up, and like the psychic said on the third day the sheep returned home(Wilson 18). During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it was common for people that were victims of a crime to seek the help of a psychic. These psychics known during this a .....
