.... to belong, and one theory points out that life becomes easier when we act like others, or conform, rather than be different from others. Still another theory says people tend to view themselves as they think others see them, so they change to conform to others expectations. (Kowalski) is defined as influencing other teens exerts whether it is a comments, criticism, persuasion, or pressure to be someone else. It can be as simple as a classmate asking to copy the homework and as difficult as a friend wanting us to try drugs for the first time. Friends can make us feel so pressured into doing something else that we don’t feel it’s righ .....

.... environment. ZPG is the reason I have become an advocate and they have supplied most of my statistical information. Today’s children are likely to see a tripling of the global population within their lifetimes. These children our are next generation of parents, voters, consumers, and leaders. The choices they make are critical to stabilizing the population and protecting the environment. Educating the youth of the future will help them to understand the problems the earth faces and how they can help by influencing and being the political leaders who can adopt responsible population policies. One problem the earth and its inhabitants face .....

.... to violence. Examples of such men are rapist and abusive husbands or boyfriends. Then there are those who appreciate women to the point where one just is not enough. Their actions portray that they are aware that women are indeed great, therefore, they believe that they must show each one that they have come to this cognizance. Unfortunately, their admiration is demonstrated in a negative way as they prove to be unfaithful. On the other hand, there are those who believe that they are God's gift to women. These 'casanovas' are good abiding Christians, as they strongly believe that when Jesus said that we must share, they thought of .....

.... equal worth as people. The fact that men are a step above the women and superior to them is evident in the following verses. "And it is for the women to act as they (the husbands) act by them, in all fairness; but the men are a step above them."(Q 2:228) "Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other."(Q4:34) Women are thought of as being lower in intellect and spirituals in comparison to men. In the Quran it states, "And of His signs is that He created for you, of yourselves, spouses, that you may repose in them."(Q 30"21) This causes many Muslims to look at women as creations like the animals and .....

.... more brutal. Terrorism by definition is the "use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create A climate of fear in a given population."1 Terrorist violence targets religious or ethnic groups, governments, political parties, corporations and media enterprises. For the most part these terrorist are fairly small in size but demand for more power to effect political change on a local or an international scale. The acts of terrorist have multiplied in the later half of the 20th century due to technological advancements in explosives, microelectronics, and transportation. Terrorism is a product of a fierce nationalist demand .....

.... status with a newfound relationship. I can't help but to assume that I have found "Genuine Love" because of an overwhelming feeling of vivacious content upon finding a seemingly perfect union. Peck's views on love in this respect differ from what my thoughts have conjured up as such. And I can only infer that the words of a reputable author and doctor are more legitimate than mine. It is here that I must stop to apologize to you, Louis, for making this part of the paper far too personal than necessary. "Falling in Love" is a common myth in this society. The actual act of falling in love, according to Peck, is a misconception. T .....

.... we expect from life. This shouldn't be confused with what we want, dream or hope for. No one wants to be unhappy, lead a boring life or look back over the years with remorse and regret. Yet, so often rather than expecting the best life has to offer, people expect much the opposite. They expect problems and get problems; expect disappointments and are disappointed; expect to fail and then, rather than experience the desired success, they fail. If attitudes are the mental expectations about jobs, relationships, financial status and so on, then these very powerful thoughts must be the elements which set the course for our lives and destiny. .....

.... above women, some admitted to having sexual encounters with other women. I believe the choice is heavily tied to our culture, family values, and surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream? Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t believe it alleviates any of the s .....

.... raises children and provides them with the love and nourishment children need. The family is not expected to thoroughly teach children about god. The church is there to provide the child with a religion to believe in. With both of those institution working together the child wouldn’t get both a good home and a healthy spiritual up bringing. Each one of the institutions is interdependent on the other. Another example is schools and the work force. The schools have to prepare people to be able to work in society. People would not be able to work if they weren’t first taught how to work. The schools help to keep social order, .....

.... I don’t believe in lethal force I would turn my friend into the FBI and let them do the dirty work. Now on the other hand, if harm means to upset the stability of my country through peaceful means I would not intervene in the least bit. Even if I don’t believe in his intents. I believe every man has the right to "harm" his country peacefully. That is what democracy is based on a country for the people and by the people. These people have the right to try and change things in a peaceful manner. That is how far I would go to stop a friend from harming my country. How far would I go to obtain revenge on someone or some group who des .....
