.... society. Working as it should, it affords groups greater equality of opportunity in a social context marked by substantial inequalities and structural forces that impede a fair assessment of their capabilities. Perhaps the biggest complaint that one hears about affirmative action policies aimed at helping Black Americans is that they violate the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and the Civil Rights laws., The claim is that these programs distort what is now a level playing field and bestow preferential treatment on understanding minorities because of the color of their skin. While this view seems very logical on the surface, many c .....

.... proved to be an important device in measuring the advancement of women in their respective areas. In ancient Rome, the majority of its lawmakers were wealthy nobles, and were mostly men. Because of this, the laws were written to benefit its majority. Since the patrons were of wealthy status, the laws were in some instances, implied and were not clearly defined. Even though these laws existed, their failure to describe themselves left some shortcomings in the way they were interpreted. Laws that pertained to people of lower than equal status, such as women, were even more vague and ambiguous. It was this ambiguity that made it diffic .....

.... the main office building there were three different telephones with separate lines for each. Telephone communication was made throughout the city, the homes of the investors, customers, Vancouver, to and from the office building and ranch. Times were fixed for the delivery of the "stuff" to places along the Puget Sound and from there was transported to the various caches. The information leading to the arrests was made primarily by four Federal prohibition officers. The officers placed small wires along the main lines outside the homes of the four main conspirators and that of the office. No intrusion was made into private property .....

.... by law and that it is a woman's constitutional right. The practice of abortion, the termination of pregnancy, before the fetus is capable of independent life, was widespread in ancient times (Judges 84). Therefore the issue of abortion is nothing new to our society and has been debated many ways. American policy towards abortion has gone through several stages. In the early 1800's abortion was considered no crime by common law as clarified in the Supreme Court of Massachusetts' case; Commonwealth vs. Parker (Judges 98). But then in the late 1800's the formation of the AMA and anti-abortion leadership of Horatio Storer began to .....

.... couldn't behave like that and maintain the success I had worked so hard for. I generated an alter ego to fulfill my fantasies under-cover. was a means of unlocking the evil I had buried inside myself" (Leidholdt 47). Is it possible that is acting as the key to unlocking the evil in more unstable minds? According to Edward Donnerstein, a leading researcher in the field, "the relationship between sexually violent images in the media and subsequent aggression and . . . callous attitudes towards women is much stronger statistically than the relationship between smoking and cancer" (Itzin 22). After considering the increase in rape and molesta .....

.... president. Because of the close vote, election results were challenged in many states. The official electoral vote was Kennedy 303, Nixon 219, and Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia 15. Kennedy's Family President Kennedy's great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1858. They settled in Boston, Mass. His grandfathers, Patrick J. Kennedy and John F. ("Honey Fitz") Fitzgerald, were born there. Both men became influential in state politics. "Honey Fitz" served several terms as Boston's mayor and as a member of the United States House of Representatives. Patrick Kennedy was a powerful ward boss and served in both hous .....

.... with which to play house. Sounds pretty normal right? Why? As illustrated in the not-so-fictional scenario above, begins very early in life. Society has accepted such stereotypical things as baby boy blue and baby girl pink to help identify the sex of a child. Heaven forbid the little Joey looks like a girl or b aby Michelle is mistaken for a boy. Mothers and fathers make it easy for everyone to distinguish their bundle of joy by utilizing the socially established gender stereotypes. But where and how did these stereotypes come from? Unfortunately, I don't think there is a definite answer to that question. We seem to accept that blue is fo .....

.... under fire by the Pennsylvania Chapter of the NAACP because it contains the word “nigger� 39 times in the first 35 pages. They feel that the liberal use of such a derogatory word is detrimental to the self-esteem of young African-American children. The NAACP says that they want the book removed from required-reading lists, but they are not out to censor it (Campbell, par. 4). Large groups such as the NAACP are not the only people pushing for Huckleberry Finn's banning in America's schools. Small groups of parents have protested the book's status as required reading in their children's schools because of its language. Huckleberry Fin .....

.... has been called, is certainly not an issue with just two sides, there are many side to it. Euthanasia, after all, ranges from simply allowing an individual to die naturally without life support or “pulling the plug� (passive euthanasia), all the way to Jack Kevorkian’s suicide machine (active euthanasia). To complicate things further, there is also voluntary euthanasia, “Cases in which patient requests to be killed, and dies as a result of action taken by another person,� involuntary euthanasia; “cases in which no action is requested because the patient is unconscious, senile, or otherwise incapable of .....

.... blind eye to the Hip-Hop revolution, mainly because of its origins and political stances. Unfortunately for some this has failed miserably with Hip-Hop being the strongest it has ever been at the present. But people are now starting to accept it somewhat; for example record companies have been cashing in on its popularity for some time now. The writer of the Feature Article Hip Hop Nation Christopher John Farley is not a Rapper himself, rather an open minded person who has written a article to increase awareness to the masses of the culture of this phenomenon. PARA1 Hip-Hop is not about living on the range where the buffalo roam; it is not .....
