America And Affirmative Action
 Words: 1136 - Pages: 5.... American 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 surfa .....

Sexual Harassment
 Words: 2816 - Pages: 11.... and commanding hostile attitudes from both her male and female coworkers. 
The first way that a woman who files a   lawsuit is diminishing the progress of women in the workplace is by using the court system as an out, rather than handling a bad situation for herself.  In 1991 The New York Times magazine and CBS news conducted a poll in which forty percent of 55 million of the nation’s working women had dealt with some form of  (Wekesser  13).

Inhumanity
 Words: 719 - Pages: 3.... do the killing for them are merely tools in a game. This is very impersonal for the people in battle. They are just told to kill, shoot, or bomb, complete strangers. While the stranger, their opponent, has no personal aggression towards them. This is an act of violence. True aggression involves disputes between individual rivals. The primary function of the aggressive acts is to intimidate and dominate these rivals. When violence is concerned, the victim is depersonalized and becomes, not the rival, but the ‘goal’ or the ‘paycheck’. In war, groups  of men enter the battle with complete stranger in their sights. They have no personal .....

Another story called " Haimanti" also shows mistreatment of Indian women very  well. I have read many similar Korean non fiction stories when I was in Korea. Haima  who grew up happily and freely under liberal widower suffered under traditional father in  law's prejudice against her. Marriage was almost a necessity as a mean of support or  protection. A married woman ususally took her husband's statues and lived with the  family, with little resources in case of ill treatment or nonsupport. After a marriage, she  had to give up her happiness and freed .....

Personal Writing: Living In Both Texas And New York City
 Words: 1211 - Pages: 5.... of the Big Apple, the city
that never sleeps.  Mass transit and people had always flooded the streets
and intersections.  It seemed like everyone were heading for different
directions and the citizens of New York City are too busy with their own
affairs and does have time to care of what's going on in their surroundings.

roasted peanut stands, a sweet scent of aroma that would often fill up the
neighborhood.  When I close my eyes and think deeply about NYC, there has
been a chime in my h .....

Adoptees And Identity Formation
 Words: 2010 - Pages: 8.... maladjustment (Benson et al., 1998).  This is to say that a child who is adopted at one-week of age will have a better chance of “normal” adjustment than a child who is adopted at the age of ten.

to say.  This makes the person you're talking to even more comfortable with what
you are trying to convey with your thoughts and ideas. This is how different
