.... pressures of looking "good". In the past, I've talked to some of my girlfriends and they told me that the pressure and competition they are faced with is stressful and painful. I told them that I am not too critical when checking out girls and when it comes to seeing other males bigger or stronger than myself, that I don't feel too much pressure of trying to look better than them. I am rather more concerned of my own health and ways to improve it. I was really surprised when they told me that other girls are the ones who usually criticize or pressure them. When I was aware of this, I did notice, at times, while walking around casually w .....

.... could be obtained. So he often engaged in systematic questioning with his young disciples. The very essence of the Socratic method was that everything should be fearlessly examined and justified before it should be taken as truth. Socrates was a wonderful teacher wich was why his pupils used his information in their works. Plato was a dedicated student of Socrates. He defended him against the unjust accusations of Socrates corrupting the youth. Regardless of how dedicated he was to his predecessor his thought process was very different. Plato wanted more than anything to solve the problem of how the mind can experience and recognize t .....

.... out by themselves (unless the baby is too young). The instinctive reaction is to scold the older brother and "baby" the younger brother. This helps neither brother. The younger brother feels more dependent, which damages his self-image, while it makes the older brother resent the attention his younger brother receives even more. In this situation my personal belief is that a person should calmly explain to the older brother that what he did was wrong, but forgivable. You should also explain why it was wrong in a way the child can understand. In my opinion the worst thing a person could do in this situation is to force the child to apolog .....

.... stealing money to buy alcohol or stealing alcohol. Another of the effects of alcoholism is also trouble with the law. If a kid is drinking and driving or just have alcohol on them they can lose there licenses for a 6 months or more. They can also be put in juvenile hall or be kicked out of school. An alcoholics lifestyle also leads into other things such as drugs and sex. Once a teen gets into this party lifestyle it can lead them into stronger stimulants such as pot and stronger drugs. Now a days more and more kids are trying drugs and liking them. Almost every kid once in his or her life will try drugs. Most kids that try drugs lik .....

.... thought T.V. effected the way people behaved 41% said yes, 4% left without finishing the survey, and 55% said that they didn't think it effected the way people acted(14). As seen in the survey the problem of television violence is being made more aware to the people of the world. The problem has also grown over the years to a more serious dilemma making the government start to try and solve the problem by initiating laws in which television stations must limit violence on T.V.(6). It is still not enough though the problem must be taken care of promptly before it changes society as a whole. If the problem is not taken care of swiftly the .....

.... do not always matter as much as the color of a person's skin or his ethnicity. In dealing with this subject, the first question that is always asked is, "What is wrong with quotas? What is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having problems finding jobs because they are not black or Hispanic or do not have breasts. Affirmative action, which is action in the .....

.... in a car crash or a violent head injury. It isn't right to cause pain, suffering, and certain death to animals just for our benefit. Many scientists also agree that this experimental procedure was wrong but only because primates have higher intelligence. I don't think it is right for any animal of high or low intelligence, to suffer that way. In other laboratories animals are confined to small cages or locked up so that thay can't move. They are then used to test cosmetics and household chemicals. They have chemicals poured on to their eyes and skin to see if they cause irritation. These experiments would hurt the animals by caus .....

.... and Deirdre Anglin MD, who were deeply saddened by the shooting. The strongest argument presented in the letter written by Hutson and Anglin was that unless the root causes of gang formation are effectively addressed, and gang access to illegally obtained firearms is nullified, gang violence will continue. The claim was presented in such a fashion that, while based on widely accepted ideas, an appeal to the emotions through sympathy for the injured children was also applied. To justify their claim, statistics such as 28 children under the age of 10 were murdered between 1987 and 1994, 95% of which were murdered with firearms and over ha .....

.... our decisions. We base the majority of our decisions on the influence our family have on us. Our family brings us up to think and do certain things to better us. We all feel a sense of living up to certain standards that our family puts upon us. In today’s society we all want to be better than everyone else. When we see families which are better, we feel the pressure either from parents or from ourselves to try and improve. We don’t want to compromise the integrity of our family. School is important to all of us and the pressures that come from the schools are high. We all have the pressures of achieving good grades, and doing well so .....

.... who have stopped to think about this fact. The idea that people live according to how others will perceive then has been established as the rule, not the exception. The real question now lies in the reasons for this way of life. It was hypothesized by C.S. Lewis that this desire to belong and to fit in is a natural human characteristic. He believed that people have an instinctive drive to belong, in the same sort of way species reproduce. It is possible that his theory of instinctive necessity is accurate, and humans are as a whole are week and scared when they are faced with solitude. The old adage ³there is safety in numbers² is ap .....
