Is Sex Eroding Moral Values?
Words: 1797 - Pages: 7.... took place in school and society in the past. It was sometimes heavy-handed and always liable to abuse, but it seemed to serve our culture well over a long period of time. But what we have now, for the most part, is the "decision-making approach" (Kilpatrick, 16).

Of the 3,122 people on death row 41% are black while 48% are white (Gest, 1996, 41).
