The very act of the Natives caretaking for the settlers created the possibility of the Indian Nations' downfall. If the the settlers weren't given food and friendship, they surely would've died off and Indians would have been free to continue their successful way of life.

Words: 601 - Pages: 3.... pressures of adolescent life.

anyone to respect you. Both essay's rely on self respect to relate to the
rites of passage in today's society.
Peer pressure is a very major dilemma in that friends or peers try
to get a person to do what they, the majority, like and not what the
individual likes. Peers create some of the so-called rites, then when
one follows more start to follow, then it becomes the scenario of the
lemmings following their leader off of the face of a cliff.

Female Discrimination In The Labor Force
Words: 1223 - Pages: 5.... on into the 1990's. The result, in 1995, is a female labor force
that numbers over 60 million. This comprised 46 percent of the civilian work
force (10).
A reason for the rise in participation by women may be in the way women
saw marriage and children. Fewer women saw marriage as a settling down. Women
who had children began to return to their jobs. The number of working women
that were either married or had children or both increased dramatically. In
1965, women with children under 18 years of age numbered 35.0 percent of the
labor force. This number increased to 47.4 percent in 1975. In ten years it
was 62.1 percent and finally .....

Interracial Children
Words: 2106 - Pages: 8.... children have to answer to. Being unable to give a one race answer causes problems for both the child and whom ever they are talking to. Many people do not understand how someone can be two or more races. In their eyes you can only have one race. Since being biracial is not normal to them, they look down on these people. This kind of behavior can make growing up especially hard for children. In the past children were identified by the parent of color. If one parent were black, then the child's race was black also. But if the child were able to pass as white then he was considered to be white (Wardle 2). This eliminated a lot of .....

Child Abuse; A Social Problem
Words: 2219 - Pages: 9.... You feel dirty and violated every time you think about what he does to you when you are alone. He walks over to the couch and sits down next to you. His hand slithers it way onto your knee and you cringe in revulsion. “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you,” he chides. Your mind feels panicky as you feel his touch in more intimate places and you scream involuntarily. His grip tightens as he places his hand over your mouth. “We’ll have to do this the hard way!” comes his intense whisper. You flail your arms at him, but it doesn’t help. His writhing massive body is on top of yours, and you feel so powerless. .....

Civilize The Wilderness
Words: 515 - Pages: 2.... Many
questions can arise when contemplating civilizing the wilderness.
The wilderness is being civilized for one main reason. That reason
is technology. Technology plays an important role in everyone's lives
today. Without it, we would not have computers, fax machines, cellular
phones, and all of the modern conveniences that we have today. The fact is,
that many people believe that the wilderness is like an unborn country. A
country that has nothing and is striving to become more advanced. We see
this as an opportunity to better it and make it seem like we are actually
helping. But, are we really helping? In my opinion, no. I fee .....

Cause And Effect Of Lack Of Education, Communication, And Action
Words: 685 - Pages: 3.... and the lack of action by society as a whole is causing our self-destruction.
First, the lack of education is the beginning of the end. When people stop learning they stop growing. As history goes people are afraid of what they don’t understand, and are unwilling to learn more about it. This ignorance breeds disease and death. Racism, H.I.V., teen pregnancy, homophobia, and criminal activity in general are spawned through lack of education, or unwillingness to recognize our responsibilities.
Second, I feel that communication plays a vital role in the assessment of cause and effect situations. People often choose not to speak about the t .....
