.... retirement age because of their health or the nature of their jobs. On the revenue side, some people believe that the income limits on which taxes are paid should be higher. They say that the current earnings limit of $72,600 in 1999 allows wealthier Americans to avoid paying taxes on some of their income. Critics say that is supposed to be a foundation for retirement planning. If wealthier people contributed more than they now do in taxes, they would either have to receive more-and in some cases much more-than they now do in benefit payments, or they would not receive any additional benefits for their added contributions into th .....

.... writers of this amendment intended to ban by granting equal protection to all Americans. In my opinion, the only way to answer this question is by deciding whether contemporary values require us to make accommodations for people who can not afford the monetary costs of covering appeals. The courts have throughout the years given new interpretations to old documents based on changes in society. After giving much thought, I have determined that based on current ideology regarding the poor, the State must provide assistance to those who do not have enough money for a required transcript. Over the past century, our government has created prog .....

.... want ceiling fans in every room, that is up to you. If you would like a garden in the front lawn, plant your favorite flowers. With most houses there is a garage for your car. You do not have to worry about the sun fading your car paint, the hail denting your car, or the rain dirtying your car, after you just washed it. However, a major disadvantage would be having your own yard. This means cutting the grass, raking the leaves, and shoveling the snow. Another hindrance would be the bills are higher. The water bill is higher because you are washing clothes, washing your car, and watering your lawn. The electric bills are higher because it .....

.... an often overlooked problem on college campuses. Although buying and drinking alcohol is illegal for most college students, officials rate binge drinking as the number one health problem for students today (Monroe 27). A study by the Harvard School of Public Health found as many as 70 percent of students at some college campuses binge drink. One-third of all schools surveyed reported bingeing by more than half the students (Kowalski 8). Many students feel they “know their limits, � and can act responsibly while under the influence of alcohol. However, binge drinking affects speech, vision, balance, and judgment (Monroe 26). Additional .....

.... because they think gangs are trendy. Many youths do not realize the risks and hazards of gang involvement. Parents may not be aware of their child's involvement. Parents should discuss gangs with their child and actively discourage gang association. SIGNS OF GANG ASSOCIATION Parents should be aware of behavior changes in their children. Such changes include; a decline in grades, truancy, graffiti in the youth's room, on school folders or on clothes, wearing of certain style or color of clothes, breaking of curfew, change in friends, drug and/or alcohol use, or possession of money or items that a parent cannot explain. Involvement of .....

.... of our society. People are separated by what kind of language they speak; for example, people who speak only Chinese will live in China Town. Those people also tend to hang around with the same kind of people, those who speak Chinese. There is no communiaction between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same culture, habit and language. The harmony of the whole society is going to break. Development and growth of our society will slow down, and everyone have to suffer from it. To avoid this, communication is needed to eliminate the con .....

.... and daughter is different. As well, it is evident that the hierarchical dominance relationships differ in each of the stories. Finally, the two stories have different types of relationships, the Ukrainian family has an open relationship where they can speak about anything, while the Chinese family has a closed relationship, where the elders must be respected at all times. However, the daughters in the stories have a similarity. Culture plays an important aspect in revealing the relationships within a family. In Maara Haas’s short story, the culture of the daughter and mother is Ukrainian. This is shown throughout the story by cultural be .....

.... we are comfortable, our activities and behaviour tend to take on familiar patterns. Patterns become habits; habits become routines; and before we know it those routines become a rut. And the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth of the hole! The results of being in a Comfort Zone are that we simply shut off any ideas of alternatives, of options that lie outside our own narrow existences. Leaving our cages is risky and scary. Recognising that we are trapped, is the first step towards gaining freedom. We also have to accept that change causes risk and pain. It is a question of "no pain, no gain" Martin .....

.... If God was really all-good the word evil would not exist because everything would just be good. If God is so good and so powerful than why does he let so much evil exist? I could understand a little bit of bad people and things to make the good stand out, but there is so much. All the time in the news you hear about someone being murdered, children being molested, a natural disaster striking a area and many people suffering and dying, etc... This also shows that God cannot be all-powerful if lets all this evil exist in the universe that he supposedly created. The second solution to the problem of evil states that God allows evil to ex .....

.... proposals involving animals must be reviewed and approved by a committee comprised of scientists, veterinarians, and private citizens. Animal activist organizations believe that there are no moral reasons for the use of animals in research. This has attempted to slow or halt the work of scientists. Some activists groups intimidate or harass individual scientists, conduct demonstrations, or sometimes commit acts of vandalism. There are a few health professionals who support the activist movement but they truly stand apart from the vast majority of physians and most Americans who readily accept the fact that animal research is nec .....
