.... opportunity to do research on this came up, I chose this as my subject. II. How does parental pressure influence students in high school? If there is an influence, is it positive or negative? I would like to do research on this because it raised my curiosity. For me personally, I do better in school if I am calm and have little pressure, but there might be students out there at Ramapo High School that think differently. These are some of the things that I will try to find out through this I-Search. III. At the beginning of my search, I had a really hard time finding secondary sources. First, I went to the school library. Since .....

.... can't tolerate Pete agreed "it's an uppity nigger."2 We can see that Bullet, a cross country runner is talking to a team-mate named Pete. It is indisputable that Pete has some antagonism towards blacks. He treats them with very little respect and uses the racist term "nigger." This helps to justify that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling me you won't work with him because he's a negro?" "That's right."3 As we can see the above exert clearly shows how .....

.... of this essay. No universally adopted definition of aggression exists, for the purpose of this discussion, the definition of Gross will be used. Gross defines aggression as :-"The intentional infliction of some form of harm on others" (Gross page 444) Freud proposed that aggression is an instinctive biological urge. According to Freud this instinct, is made up of the libido (pleasure) and "Thanatos" (the death wish) (pain). This basic instinct is present in the Id from birth, at first the aggression is relatively uncontrolled, but with the development of the Ego and superego it becomes channelled into socially acceptable behaviour .....

.... facing the world as an integrated unit", concerned with specific issues of national security and sovreignity as stated in their foreign policy. Policies which accentuate national interests unlike the foreign policy of pluralists who have an expansive foreign policy converging on economic and social issues far more than military movement. Likewise, independent actors such as multinational corporations are not dismissed as insignificant to the global perspective. The political schedule of the pluralist includes exercises in coalition and maintains a "soft shell" approach to motion between national borders. In contrast, the globalist"s agend .....

.... you no matter what you do. This is a great thing, because it gives me security and comfort. I know that the decisions that I make in life will be guided by people that care about the outcome, and if things don't work out they'll be there to do whatever they can to help me. You never have to put on a front with your relatives, they will almost always accept you for who you are. Another value that was influenced by my parents as well as television, is friendship. Even though your family is always there for you, friends are still very important to have. Having friends will usually raise a person's self- esteem. By having friends .....

.... out of love, with good intentions, but not realizing the problems they're causing. World energy needs are projected to double in the next several decades, but no credible geologist foresees a doubling of world oil production, which is projected to peak with in the next few decades. While protein demands are projected to also double in the century ahead, no respected marine biologist expects the oceanic fish catch, which has plateaued over the last decade, to double. The world's oceans are being pushed beyond the breaking point, due to a lethal combination of pollution and over-exploitation. Eleven of the 15 most important oceanic fis .....

.... which keep the cycle going or ending not only by choice but by subconscious inputs from their surroundings. My views of this may differ from others, but this is my knowledge and understanding from first hand experience. Growing up as a child, I experienced this first hand. It didn't have as dramatic an effect as it may have on other children. There are three general ways in which a child may be affected, but are a wide variety of situations. I can't predict the future so I cannot tell which one I will fall into, but I am hoping it is the second way. Firstly, the child may take on the psychological effect that it is OK to do since one .....

.... children and gives them the mind set of being mediocre is nothing. Japan also maintains a hard curriculum that pushes the student to his optimum efficiency. The teaches in Japan do not compare children's accomplishments and what they have not done. This allows the student to proceed with their peers at maximum rate. The Japanese strive for equality. They recognized how hard a student can work and how fast he can learn. The student can take entrance exams. Bright, hard-working students that come from poor families have a better chance of being admitted to elite schools than average students with rich families. The Japanese .....

.... useful in every area of life. Science develops theories based on what is observed. It examines each theory with rigorous and scrupulous tests to see if it describes reality. The scientific method works well in observing and recording physical data and in reaching conclusions which either confirm or nullify a theory. During the mid-19th century, scholars (although at that time probably termed philosophers) wanted to study human nature with the aim of applying the scientific method to observe, record, and treat human behavior that was deemed as unnatural. They believed that if people could be studied in a scientific manner, there would b .....
