Media Violence

Advanced scientific research illustrates the horrific results we hate to hear: television is bad for kids. Our electronic babysitter has reached the end of her employment - she shoots out too many intensely violent acts in a surprisingly perfunctory way. Leonard Eron, PhD at the University of Illinois, conducted a close study of television viewing from age 5 to age 30. The results hurt our television-loving brains: the more hours of television violence viewed, the more the tendency for aggressive behavior in teenage yea .....

The 1950’s brought great economic growth and with it the dream for a perfect life in a perfect country. Many people got married young and had children quickly, moved into suburbs, and found good jobs. They expected nothing else but for their children to go to college and follow in their footsteps. Adults had faith in the American government, and believed that any hard working, dedicated and honest man would succeed, and of course, they thought that their children would conform to their traditional values. Young adults were expected to look .....

What To Do About Immigration
Words: 2438 - Pages: 9.... Europe. Finally, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 restricted the number of immigrants from every nation. Today, as the United States experience "the fourth wave" of immigration, the debate about what to do about it heats up. According to Linda Chavez, "In 1993 […],over 800,000 legal immigrants were admitted to the United States and an estimated 300,000 illegal aliens settled here, more or less permanently. Over the last decade, as many as ten million legal and illegal immigrants established permanent residence…" (327).

The Constituion

If the Bill of Rights is considered, more supporting ideas become evident. The First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom could have been influenced by the colonial tradition of relative religious freedom. This tradition was clear even in the early colonies, like Plymouth, which was formed by Puritan dissenters from England seeking religious freedom. Roger Williams, the proprietor of Rhode Island, probably made an even larger contribution to this tradition by advocating and allowing complete religious freedom. William Pe .....

RACISM
Words: 749 - Pages: 3.... injured by judgments or actions that are directly or indirectly racist. Much of the attention of the last 20 years has focused on individual racist behavior. However, just as individuals can act in racist ways, so can institutions. Institutions can behave in ways that are overtly racist (i.e., specifically excluding people-of-color from services) or inherently racist (i.e., adopting policies that while not specifically directed at excluding people-of-color, nevertheless result in their exclusion). Therefore, institutions can respond to people-of-color and whites differently. Institutional behavior can injure people-of-color; and, when it doe .....

Nato Hits Chinese Embassy
Words: 249 - Pages: 1.... one is missing. The Chinese government and people are terribly outraged at NATO's method of expressing its displeasures, calling it a "barbarian act" and that "'the U.S.-led NATO should bear all responsibilities.'"
NATO explained that they feel regretful of the mishap, saying the bombing was an unintentional accident. However, non-NATO countries analyze it differently, interpreting the bombing as an evil design of the NATO alliance, purposely assaulting the Chinese who objected to NATO's unhumanitarian bombing campaign all along and "has represented for Yugoslav interest in the United States since Belgrade broke diplomatic relations with .....

Although his protests were for good moral purposes, it was wrong of him to use his status as chairman of the Housing Authority and award receiver to gather extra followers to join the suicide. Here he had overstepped the line to abuse the power he was appointed by putting other people's lives at jeopardy. Being in his position, he was most likely aware that he had many supporters believing in him who would gladly follow his lead. It is at this point where he chose to abuse his power by taking advantage of the people who had the most respect and admiration for him. Charles Manson is an example .....

Conflict Resolution
Words: 555 - Pages: 3.... to change your mind. Define the Problem and Collect the Facts. The book states that the saying, "A problem well defined is half solved" is not far from the truth. It also states that at this stage it is helpful when everyone involved is allowed to define the problem. Clarify Perceptions. This can be done by asking the following questions. What does each party thing the conflict is about? Is the conflict over deeply held values or just preferences? Is the conflict over goals or methods? Generate Options for Mutual Gain.
