All presidents, at some time or another, became frustrated at what they perceived as unfair treatment by the press, even while acknowledging its vital function in a free society, and many presidents have been a part of a scandal. The current Presidential sca .....

.... being parented often included a high level of family violence. There is a link between domestic violence and child abuse. In many families where spouse abuse occurs, children are also victims of physical violence. American studies indicate that about one third of adults who abuse their spouse also abuse their children. Australian research suggests that this figure may be higher. F thermore, children are likely to be at greater risk of physical abuse by mothers who are being physically abused by a spouse than children living in families where violence is absent.

The definition of child abuse varies over time, across cultures, and between different social and cultural groups. Many of the books and articles that were researched for this paper had difficulty defining child abuse. Professional g .....

.... the lowest of class with no power what so ever. Working its way up from servants to peasants, warriors and the last and most powerful being priests and royalty. The Hindus set up their city so that the most powerful (priest) would be closest to the center of the city nearest the temples of worship. Each step down lived farther away. A common rule for many civilizations and religions (although not as strict in others) was the prohibition of marriages between separate classes. Although this was the case, anyone from a higher class could choose to marry someone of a lower class, such as a peasant marrying a servant but a servant could not m .....

.... nine-thirty, could it be him? I answer. The sound of his voice puts a warm, tingly feeling all over me. The words that he says to me makes my blood race through my veins. We talk about our day and how we cannot wait to see each other again. When he makes a positive comment, my face brightens like a light bulb. When negativity occurs, I brush it off as though it was never said. Then, it is time to say goodnight. When he says, “I you,� fireworks explode in my heart. “ is a vine that grows into our hearts.� (anonymous).

.... at the idea of the melting pot in a way which does not get into much depth then it is possible that people would say the U.S. is a melting pot. Some reasons people might believe this is because the U.S. is made up of many different nationalities of people. Some ideas have come from these groups of people. These ideas may have been words or types of agriculture but these do not begin to relate to the true meaning of the melting pot theory. In today's society most ethnic groups have to become accustomed to an American way of life which means the English language. This is a problem because these people have to learn English to survive o .....

.... 14% in primetime (Stern 24). Television violence is a serious problem and there has to be something done to keep the violence at a respectable level. There are strong statistics about the amount of television watched by the public and the amount of violence that is shown on television. Such statistics highlight the potentially strong influence TV can have on those who watch it. It is believed that people learn by imitating what they see, and children are particularly receptive to such learning (Freedman 96). Based on the research I've done I feel children model things they see and learn their aggressions from family members and from tel .....

.... all kinds of legislation to help women, while never compromising her pacifist stance. Jane Addams also worked for social reforms, using her position in society to form Hull House, a settlement house for the social and economic betterment of the poor. She wrote many books about worthy causes such as peace, and endured harsh criticism of her work. Perhaps the most radical of the three, Emma Goldman, took her work for women's rights one step further. Although she was skeptical about suffrage, Goldman worked for contraceptive information to be given to the "New Woman". She fought prejudiced Victorian attitudes, as all of these women did, w .....

.... and a few others we would know next to nothing about the art of tattooing in Tonga. Apparently dUrville demonstrated a picture of a Tongan man’s tattoo. Tattoos in Tonga were done with tools made out of bone or shell. One of the tools was heated with a flammable oil that came form a certain type of nut called “Candlenut.� Unlike here in the United States tattooing in Tonga was long and painful. This took a long, long time and was a symbol of someone’s manhood. In the article a man of Tongan and Hawaiian roots named Aisea Toetuu was interviewed. Tracy Allen, the author of this asked him many questions of his hobby, which .....

.... thinking; and men to; when men and women think about a new question they the first step is taken. Because of their involvement in the abolitionist movement, women had learned to organize, to hold public meetings, and conduct petition campaigns. As abolitionists, women first won the right to speak in public, and they began to evolve a philosophy of their own place in society. When the 15th amendment, which gave black men the power to vote, was passed women became furious. Julia Ward Howe said “For the first time, we saw... every Negro man govern every white woman. This seemed to me intollerable tyranny.� After the fifteenth ame .....
