The Treatment Of A Women In Sports
Words: 2479 - Pages: 10.... in today’s male sports world. With the 1996 induction of the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) a substantial leap was overcome, and the precedence of women in sports was changed not only for the 90’s but forever. Only with the help of Title IX legislation and the persistence of women athletes to demand equality was such an accomplishment to be achieved. Although, women are making strives towards equality, and making progress in acknowledging females for their athletic ability, there are still many signs of sexism and poor treatment because of their endeavors.
Even today with the press towards a new “equalitar .....

First Stand
Words: 1465 - Pages: 6.... The single word that most Americans know and sometimes fear is WAR.
It hurts, maims, and kills millions of Americans. And why are wars
started? Because some power hungry dictator wants more space, money or
natural recourses. I think that a lot of the wars that we have had in
countries could have been prevented. Especially with all the new
technology we have today. Back when it was George Washington leading his
troops there probably wasn’t anything that could have stopped that. I think
most of the violence in wars can be prevented by just sitting down and
looking at all the problems and what the different countries want. If two .....

that the whites would never change, because of this he started an association

Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to make a strong contribution to
the Civil Rights movement. He had signed a declaration that stated no one could
be discriminated in the work place and other areas based on race. Also the high

Arguments Against The Relativists Theory
Words: 2299 - Pages: 9.... would not allow for the American and British
soldiers to interfere with the Nazis; the relativist would claim that the
Allies were wrong in fighting the Germans due to a cultural disagreement.
In truth, it is the relativist position which has both negative logical and
practical consequences, and negligible benefits.
The first logical consequence of relativism is that the believer must
contradict himself in order to uphold his belief. The view states that all
ethics are relative while putting forth the idea that no absolute standard
of rightness exists. If this is the case, then what is cultural relativism
relative to? From a purely .....

Creating A Fun Workplace Environment
Words: 953 - Pages: 4.... less turnover, and higher productivity.
Employees generally want to know what is expected from them. A sense of trust and comfort can be obtained when everyone knows exactly what their responsibilities are for each authority. Managers should create a fair and consistent environment for all employees. They should make sure that everyone is treated equally, because the littlest bit of bias or favoritism toward that person or group could cause internal employee morale and possible legal cases. Developing policies and procedures is the easiest way for companies to minimize their problems with discrimination.
Whenever possible, mana .....

Animal Testing-Inhumane Or Neccassary?
Words: 894 - Pages: 4.... that us humans put into our body. They argue that because animals have functions similar to humans, that it only makes sense to use the animals for testing. By looking at both sides very carefully, both for and agaisnt animal testing can one make their own opinion on what they feel is right and wrong.
Many will say that the use of animals for testing is both inhumane and should not be allowed as an effective way to test products such as cosmetics and laundry detergents for our homes. There are many reasons as to why the animal rights activists feel this way. For example, it is a proven fact that the animal testing that is done is very .....

Adolescence

Mood, emotions, and behaviour can all be affected by the changes that occur at puberty. For example, changes in adolescents' bodies bring curiosity about sex and sexual urges. Curiosity combined with ignorance about consequences can lead to careless experimentation and unsafe sexual practices that can result in early unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and inappropriate and aggressive sexual behaviour. Curiosity and the need that many young people feel to test boundaries and limits can also lead to risk-taking b .....

The X Files: Negative Images Of Races
Words: 1050 - Pages: 4.... Latino official tries to explain this by saying "They need something to live on, they use their myths to have a sense of hope." This puts a false interpretation of these people in the mind of the viewer. The viewer takes this statement and weather he/she knows about it; they associate all Latin Americans to this idea. Thus, Latin Americans are seen as inferior to this person. Another problem with this episode is that the local authorities can't figure out what is going on until the "white" FBI agents come along and "enlighten" them. Subconsciously, this can have a drastic effect on people. If they see that the "white man" has to show everyo .....

My belief is that nothing should be censored. Nothing. It is every
person's right and responsibility to shield him or herself from any language and
other audio and visual provided I do not say anything false which could hurt
another person's reputation messages that is found demeaning to the individual.
One person may find my !@#$%& language offensive, yet another may find my
language rather humorous and meaningful. I feel that w .....

The Injustice Of Slavery
Words: 373 - Pages: 2.... help, so this was
not a good idea, in their opinion. This controversy led to the Civil War, which
was eventually won by the north, and slaves were set free in America. But people
discriminated slaves very much, and that was not good.
Discrimination of African Americans is not that big now a days, but it
is still out there. Discrimination sort of died out when a man named Martin
Luther King, Jr. expressed some of his thoughts about discrimination. His famous
speech was entitled "I Have a Dream". Back before his speech, African Americans
were not treated as people. They had to stand at the back of the bus, they had
to live in a certain area .....
