Communication in cyberspace lets people explore their personalities by creating new on-line personae. This seems to be the main concern for frequent Internet users. A significant observation is the amount of men that will log on as women. Jodi Obrien put it best when she states, “Many men say that a common motivation for logging on as a female is because they are fascinated by the unusual amount of attention they receive from other men when they are perceived as women” (http://www.echonyc.com/~women/ .....

The Queer Use Of Women In Borg
Words: 5691 - Pages: 21.... a female body. Sex and women are used primarily as bargaining chips in the relationship between men, never for the traditional purposes of either procreation or pleasure. Sex in Borges' fiction, by means of an objectified female body,[4] is nothing more than a maneuver that gives definition and dynamism to the interaction between men.
In opposition to the traditional critical standpoint that male-male interaction in Borgesian fiction is merely homosocial and, therefore, purely nonsexual, a closer inspection of Borges' work reveals the clear but playfully veiled presence of homoerotic desire. My purpose here is to analyze two stories, "El mue .....

Courts
Words: 284 - Pages: 2.... after being arrested. Most of the
individuals had been arrested the day before and were then
being arraigned on the following day, which goes with our
notion of a fair and speedy trail. The crimes which I saw
ranged from driving without a license to drug offenses,
which seemed to be the crime of choice for the day. The
assistant District Attorney had the task of presenting
evidence against each and every individual as if it were
their personal case, which I found to be straining. The
action taken by the judge varied on every case, some
defendants were jailed for seven days after they plead
guilty, some were released ROR, pending a fu .....

wrist with velcro to the board. In this way, the board will not drift away from
the surfer. A g .....

are abstinence based. "Washington has spent some $31.7 million developing
abstinence only curricula" (Shapiro 56). By looking at the problems sex
education tries to solve, we can improve the sex education programs by putting
the problems in order of importance. This will prove that teens having sex at a
younger age is the reason for the failure of sex education in this country. To
counteract this problem abstinence should be taught to children under the age of
16. Then when the children reach the age of 16 they need to be taught AIDS and
condom education.
AIDS and other STDs are an important reason we have sex .....

Words: 290 - Pages: 2.... enterprise.” as described in our historical
analogy packet, “The future has no place to come from but the past, hence the
past has predictive value.” Meaning that almost every course we take in life, it
somehow relates to the past, which could be compared with past events to the

Japan, Italy, and Germany should have been halted way before those powers became

not be modified. They also contend that sometimes lockouts are unavoidable
and are often the only way to work out problems. The opposition reasons
that professional teams with huge payrolls deserve all the money because
they worked hard to get where they are. They argue that most players work
hard to become great athletes and therefore they deserve enormous salaries.
They also plead that lockouts are healthy for professional sports because
they help each sport continually evolve and adapt to new problems it faces.
