Straight-Edge: What It Is And What It Isn't
Words: 1014 - Pages: 4.... is not something that has occurred just recently.
It is commonly believed that it was started nearly two decades ago in the
1980-1983 era by the hardcore-punk band called Minor Threat. The song
"Straight-Edge" written by Ian MacKaye, the band's singer, not only coined
the phrase, but it encompassed all of the philosophies that a straight-edge
person believes in. There have been theories that an earlier punk band,

Minor Threat*), started the ideology of straight-edge, but the term was not
used until MacKaye wrote and published the song. .....

him slap your left cheek too." What this means is, if someone hurts once, do not
respond in a violent manner, turn the other cheek and let them do it again. It
shows that Jesus was against violence. Gandhi said something similar: 'An eye

here. The other side to this statement is to agree that racists should be dealt
with in a violent way. In some resects, this is correct becau .....

Interpersonal Communication
Words: 1042 - Pages: 4.... exceeds a certain amount it is no longer interpersonal
communication,it then becomes mass communication. In my definition it is vital
that feed-back be given to the person that is doing the communicating. When
feedback is not present then the lines of communication break down and then
there is no communication at all. Even if the message is perceived wrong
interpersonal communication still exists as long as the feedback is given. For
example: when you talk to someone that is hard of hearing and you ask them to do
something and they hear you say something other than what you said there is
still interpersonal communication, although it .....

everyone of that class. If a young Japanese boy is excelling in math, for

considered “correct”, if ever? We are provided with prerogative to think
however we like, but is it correct in assuming that stereotyping is immoral
and unfair? This topic will be more discriptive through the proceeding.

Success Secret: A High Emotional IQ
Words: 356 - Pages: 2.... intellect.
There are actual course that are designed to help people strengthen
the weakness that a person has within themselves. For instance,
Weatherland School of Management at Case Western Reserve University has
developed one. Most people that take the course show an 86% improvement.
There are even follow-ups three years later and the percentage is still
high. Through my eyes emotional intellect does mean a whole lot more than

prison, and comes out they should have learned a lot. .....
