.... the lower class into their social hierarchy. In the novel, Tom has a mistress who lives in the "valley of ashes," where most of the lower class citizens reside. Tom has been seeing her for years even though he married Daisy. No one objects to this because of his old money status. On page 19, Jordan Baker informs Nick of this scandal, "Why- Tom’s got some woman in New York." Jordan also informs Nick of the commonality and wide acceptance of this fact. Tom’s mistress, Myrtle, despite her status as a lower class citizen, tries to pressure him into leaving Daisy. To .....

.... for dinner doesn't make that person a problem drinker. If everyone who drank at Penn State went to an alcohol counselor, the lines would dwarf those apparent for this year's Penn State-Michigan game. What students (as well as everyone else who drinks) need to realize is that drinking is not a solution to any kind of problem. Alcohol, like caffeine, nicotine and heroin, is a drug. Beverage companies can paint them any color they want, but nothing is going to take away that fact. Like any drug, alcohol is potentially addictive. The best test is to figure out whe .....

.... the workers. The struggle would end, according to Marx, in the socialist revolution and the attainment of full communism (Groiler's Encyclopedia). Socialism, of which "Marxism-Leninism" is a takeoff, originated in the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in the middle of the nineteenth century and promptly attracted support among the country's educated, public-minded elite, who at that time were called intelligentsia (Pipes, 21). After Revolution broke out over Europe in 1848 the modern working class appeared on the scene as .....

.... media hype about the drug abuse amongst the poor is because the rich have the political power to cover it up, the poor don't. Crack is cocaine mixed with baking soda and cooked in to rock form 6. Even though crack and cocaine are the same drug (just in different forms) the courts give out stiffer sentences for crack offenders than powder cocaine offenders 7. According to federal law if a person is caught with five grams of crack they get a mandatory five year sentence 8. To get a five year sentence for trafficking powder cocaine a person would have to be .....

.... think that they have to be skinny in order to be successful. I think it's fair to say that most teenage girls think they have to be skinny to be beautiful. I know how that feels. All through out high school I had a bad eating problem. I wasn't over weight at all, but I thought I was because I didn't look exactly like one of those girls in the magazine ads. I had three-month periods. For three months I would eat 200-300 calories a day, and run over 3 miles, plus more exercise. Usually then I would lose 25 to 30 pounds, and I thought I was happy, but really I was d .....

.... not be allowed is because racial issues are a concern involving the decision that is made regarding the execution. The Rev. Norris Williams of Cain Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church said, "Applying without prejudice is an impossible feat in the judicial system. All of us carry a certain amount of prejudice, so who is the perfect one to make the judgement whether someone lives or dies?" Williams said, "I don't think any of us can stand and say this person deserves to die." The race of someone can be part of the decision that is made. Of the roughly .....

.... was that these programs would be transitory in nature and would enable us as a society to reach a point, at some future date, when they would no longer be needed" (Shapiro). It is my opinion that we have now reached that date. Continued use of the policy is much like continued use of a strong medication. When a patient is suffering from a terrible disease, as was the United States suffering from discrimination, strong medication is sometimes needed to cure the problem. But once the disease is taken care of, further use of the medication does not help the p .....

.... is because it is such a small dose. However, it is still abusing your body, and your body's functions. Besides all that, there are also legal consequences. When someone takes Psilocybin Mushrooms in a medium size dose (1.25 grams - 4.0 grams), there are effects that are a little more serious than taking psilocybin in a small amount. These effects are things such as open-eye visual effects, lights gain auras, star-pattern effects, rainbowing around lighting, increased peripheral vision, sometimes either increased or decreased ability to focus, and other "v .....
