How Can We Control The Drink Till You Drop Mentality At Colleges?
Words: 617 - Pages: 3.... the first semester and I had to come home, I realized how non-productive drinking is.
The problem at college is that people study very hard to make descent grades during the week, but on the weekends they let loose and go on a drinking binge.
Some of them make the grades and continue on with their education while at the same time continuing their drinking habit almost religiously.
The people that go to college and drink heavily for the first time or mix drugs with large amounts of alcohol are the ones that are effected the most by binge drinking. There have been more and more deaths related to binge drinking every year and the numbers .....

The Social Status Of The London Surgeon, 1350-1450
Words: 3296 - Pages: 12.... The surgeon, on the other hand, was considered to be an artisan, thus his profession was seen as a craft.4 This craft ideology allowed access for untrained artisans to enter the field of surgery. In this paper, I will statistically demonstrate that the medieval English surgeon was threatened by the growing number of untrained practitioners between the years 1350 and 1450. In response to this threat, medieval surgeons attempted to institutionalize their profession. Ironically, the manner in which they defined their practice did not restrict untrained practitioners, but actually increased access for medically untrained artisans.

Jesus And Youths In America
Words: 832 - Pages: 4.... billion dollar tax-free Christian Broadcasting Network?)
The manifest function here of religion is to provide people with a
unifying belief that will scare kids into behaving so they do not go to Hell.
The latent function is that it is a slap in the face to every Easterner who has
conducted themselves in a productive and positive manner. Many of the Christian
right I am sure do not realize how offensive the notion is that Christianity is
the only faith to recognize that killing and stealing are bad.
What exactly are the "norms" that are so exclusive to Christianity? The
Christian world is more afflicted with crime than Singapore ever wi .....

Slavery: A Justified Institution
Words: 1206 - Pages: 5.... rules on the legality of slavery in documents like the Lecompton Constitution made some rationalizations look weak and rash in concept. With the South's slavery dependent and fragile economy, Southerners were ready to fight for their survival with whatever means were necessary.
Proslavery whites launched a defensive against slavery which explained the "peculiar institution" as a positive good, supported, in fact, by the sacred words of the Bible and the philosophy of the wise Aristotle. The moral and biblical justification surrounding their belief that the relations between slave and man, however admitting to deplore abuses in it, was co .....

A Teens Guide For Choosing Friends
Words: 439 - Pages: 2.... It is important that you choose friends with goals. Kids who don’t care
who they are or what they may become are very likely to become a prisoner
and live a life of crime, Or at least a life sponging on their parents and
friends.
When choosing friends it is very important that you surround
yourself with people of similar religious beliefs. By doing this your
friends will share your conscious and you will have good, clean, fun when
you are together. And a friend in Christ seems to always stay with you. Its
also nice to have a kid your age that you can talk to about things and they
understand.
Another important factor in choosing fr .....

Surrealism
Words: 1036 - Pages: 4.... world of world
war one. as with all movements motivated by rage, dada burned out quickly,
and many of it's leaders -- notably andre breton -- went on to embrace the
new surrealist movement. disillusioned by on one hand "the cold and
insubstantial remains of art and literature, and on the other the scorching
analytical specifications of the exact sciences," surrealists were
dedicated to, in breton's words "pure psychic automatism intended to
express the true process of thought free from the exercise of reason and
from any aesthetic or moral purpose". as strongly influenced by the
psychoanalytical ideas of freud, which at that time were g .....

Curfews
Words: 749 - Pages: 3.... for having a curfew? Police officers go around trying to make a point, but what they do not realize is that teenagers don’t listen. They tell many teenagers to go home, but what ends up happening is they just go somewhere else to hang out. Teenagers these days will just rebel. We teenagers have a point, why should we go home if a police officer tells us to, if our parents let us go out and we are not doing anything wrong.
Another thing that gets to me is why the curfew law applies to teenagers sixteen and seventeen years of age. An average teenager gets his or her licenses at age sixteen. Usually by the time you are sixteen you are m .....

The philosophy is predicted on the belief that achieving these goals requires that police departments develop a new relationship with the law-abiding people in the community, allowing them a greater voice in setting local police priorities and involving them in efforts to improve the overall quality of life in their neighborhoods. It shifts the focus of police work from handling random calls to solving community problems.
The Community Policing philosophy is expressed in a new organizational strategy that allows police departments to put theory into practice. This requires freeing some patrol o .....

“A Fair Chance For The Girls”

Although this article was not convincing to me I was still able to point out strengths and weakness and the one strength that I saw was the way he tried to draw you in by believing that by stating the effects on the reproductive system and the brain. The weakness that I found in this reading was his failure to cite more cases of this so-called “fair chance”. When I say that I mean .....

Psychology: Women And Territory
Words: 378 - Pages: 2.... The unreadable words to the average person mean nothing. A rival gang
member may ignore these symbols of territory and hence, put their life in
jeopardy.
Territory is not just environmental, but it is also bodily. A person
creates an imaginary bubble around them. This is considered their personal space.
Some people are allowed into the bubble while strangers usually must stay
outside. The bubble varies from culture to culture. A person in Europe will
stand closer to a friend than an American would. The odd feeling that Americans
experience in foreign countries when talking to local people is a common
misunderstood concept. .....
