.... up to equal a large change. Changes lay the foundation for which type of person will belong to a certain social stratification. Anytime a change occurs one must beware that they might be entering into a crisis. In the Chinese culture, if one would break up the word crisis, they would find that the word means opportunity and danger-threat. One might gather that the word crisis is bad, but it could also relate to a good situation. What the word crisis is trying to say is that it is a dangerous situation where there is opportunity at the same time. People who are in a crisis must evaluate their situational priorities and the avail .....

.... My body went numb and I wanting to crawl into a little ball and just disappear. Ever since that day, I made a vow to myself that I would never stereotype anyone, and that I would stick up for anyone that was stereotyped, because I knew what it felt like to be placed in a group, rather than to be looked at as an individual. Many different groups of people have been stereotyped. The movie The Siege has brought up much controversy in the United States on whether or not it poorly stereotypes Muslims. The filmmakers believe that the movie was intended to inform the public of stereotyping, not to worsen anti-Arab sentiment. Many people, .....

.... (Weir3). If you asked someone who is the father of surfing, they would probably say, "Duke who?" But mention Kelly Slater and they will not stop talking. Robert Kelly Slater was born February 11, 1912 in Cocoa Beach Florida (Tomlin1). He went to high school and actually graduated. The reason I say this is because most people like Kelly (surfers knowing they are going to go professional) never graduate high school. Kelly grew up in Florida all his life. He was a local hero in central Florida, because everyone knew he was destined to make it as a professional surfer (Tee Interview). From 1992 thru 1994 Kelly placed first in the Maui Pro, se .....

.... completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall’s in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy, and a good cook and gardener. And there is love and laughter and growing .....

.... police officers don’t like black people. Officers have also stopped other minorities, because the police assumed that because of whom they are that they must be doing something wrong. The police have been known to be racist towards teenagers and women also. It is less of an issue now but definitely still exists. Many male police officers don’t want women on the force and don’t believe that they can perform the job as well as men can. This makes it harder on women who want to become police officers. Police also harass teenagers the same way they do blacks and other minorities. Police often take advantage of younger people by doing ill .....

.... breaking any one of a number of laws, ranging from robbery to running away from home. But an action for which a youth may be declared a delinquent in one community may not be against the law in another community. In some communities, the police ignore many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime statistics, though they are often incomplete and may be misleading, do give an indication of the extent of the delinquency problem. The FBI reports that durin .....

.... with friendship. Courtship is very important in romantic relationships. Amorous companions need to feel wanted and appreciated. Courtship keeps the romance in a relationship. It helps one lover show the other how he feels. "Show your love with flowers " is frequently used in the flower industry to get people to buy flowers. Buying flowers shows one's affection. Holidays such as Valentine's Day emphasize the need to show that special someone how admired they really are. Courtship allows people to continuously grow closer and learn new things about each other. Whether it is giving a sweetheart a dozen roses, or an "I love you" .....

.... a goal, one must accomplish smaller goals that lead up to the main achievement. For instance, if a football team achieved its aim to win their district and the state championship, they would be successful. On the other hand, if the team set out to have a winning record, and failed, the season would not be successful. Success, no matter how big or small the goals are, can only be grasped through the attaining of those goals. Success must also be sought after. For anyone to have success, they must fight and strive for it. If a secretary of a large corporation worked their way up the ladder through hard work and sacrifice, they would be a succ .....

.... sense of betrayal. It could be considered something fun to do with a friend, or merely something to pass the time. One problem with sex is the emotional attachment that one gets to the other person after the act. This attachment is stronger in women than in men, but most men still feel it, even though it might not be as strong as the woman’s feelings. This sense of attachment will turn into abandonment if one partner does not speak to or see the other again. By detaching emotion from the entire act, this feeling of abandonment will never be felt. Sex does not always have to be between a couple either. It could just be between frien .....
