solutions. Often if we do not feel the problem, if some emotional response is
not made, we are not moved to seek solutions. We are often unmoved to even
recognize the questions. We cannot afford to keep walking by.
"Work is a fundamental condition of human existence," said Karl Marx. In
punch-the-clock and briefcase societies no less than in agricultural or hunting

Violence In Sports
Words: 1245 - Pages: 5.... is whether fans incite player violence or reflect it (Debenedotte, p. 207). The evidence is inconclusive. Spectators do take cues from players, coaches, cheerleaders, and one another. Spectators often derive a sense of social identity and self-esteem from a team. Emulation of favorite players is an element of this identification. Group solidarity with players and coaches leads to a view of opposing teams as enemies and fosters hostility towards the "outgroup" and, by extension, its supporters, geographical locale, ethnic group, and perceived social class (Lee, p. 45).
Mass media also contribute to the acceptability of sports. Leonard (p .....

Culture Awareness

pressure of persecution in their homelands came here to begin new lives,
and eventually a new nation. The ethnic groups that came in a great flood
of immigrants came to escape the economic oppression of their homelands.
Those groups, too, found a way to become part of the American experience.
They didn't need, nor did they demand, any laws requiring acceptance into
society. Kindness, tolerance and respect are things that can only be earned,
not handed down by legislative decree. Those things mandated by law never
reach into the fiber of our country. They never take root in our psyches.

The War Of Freedom Of Expression
Words: 1959 - Pages: 8.... that it is a basic democratic right to voice your own opinion .
Douglas Christie has gained notoriety for his vigorous representation of high-
profile, controversial clients, charged under the hate laws. He advocates
freedom of speech for two main reasons: a) he finds it abhorrent that the state
can legislate thoughts and words, and b) he often agrees with the views held by
his clients. Others such as Noam Chomsky, a brilliant intellectual, argue not
for the views expressed, but the ability to express them. Lining up on the
other side of the battle you have: Derek Raymaker, David Kilgour, Victor Ramraj,
and Bruce Elman. They arg .....

Homosexuals: A Suspect Class?
Words: 2624 - Pages: 10.... television shows, well-
known public figures openly discussing their homosexuality, and there is
virtually no one who can claim that they have never had contact with a

Supreme Court case in which the fate of the homosexual lies: Romer v. Evans, a
case that dominated Colorado that has come to "symbolize the controversy over
gay legal rights" throughout the nation. This paper will trace the elements
behind that case, and attempt to focus on the steps the Supreme Court will
follow to determine whether homosexuality must be legally considered a "suspect
class" for t .....

Words: 803 - Pages: 3.... but several agencies are moving towards increased information sharing. It is estimated that more than 60,000 Americans are in search of birth parents or children from whom they were separated as result of adoption (“Court”). This desire to know information about birth parents or adoptees has changed the attitude towards adoption.
Closed adoption procedures were born in the late 19th century (Batton). At that time, having a child outside of marriage was considered shameful, and the secrecy of closed adoption protected the birth mother from facing social criticism. This process also protected the adoptive parents from interfere .....

Effects Of Advertisements
Words: 1032 - Pages: 4.... about products and services that can improve their lives. Advertising is a very powerful influence in American culture. Of concern is the false misleading nature of advertising. Sometimes it is a fact that advertising tends to make people unhappy, because they cannot have what they see. However advertising can also have good effects in society, by giving positive information.

colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of
the Constitution. And the ACLU believes that all campuses should adhere to
First Amendment principles because academic freedom is a bedrock of
education in a free society. No social institution is better suited to
fight bigotry than the university. It can do so in its courses and perhaps
most importantly through the way it conducts itself as a community. We're

Amendment. We'r .....
