comparison if you wished to expose whether or not homosexuality has always been
feared and looked down upon by most people throughout history. No, rather you
would perform a historical comparison of two or more different societies to see

Radical Feminism Inhibits The Liberation Of Women
Number of words: 716 - Number of pages: 3.... feminist sees the male gender as a different species and mainly the enemy. As always these women give the regular feminist a bad name. If you walked into a mostly male room and said feminist the initial word would be lesbian. These stereotypes are always breaking down what the traditional feminist is trying to build.

I believe that men and women are generally the same i .....

On Love And Hate
Number of words: 657 - Number of pages: 3.... increase with understanding, but the object of the hatred has shifted.

stability as a result of constant expulsion of malefic urges.
Neither of these, or combinations thereof, are terribl .....

Television Violence
Number of words: 1023 - Number of pages: 4.... In my opinion, NBC did not do a good job in responsibly showing the violent acts during its prime time hours.
The first show I viewed was Seinfeld at 6:30 p.m. Of all the shows viewed over the course of the night Seinfeld had the most acts of violence in its half-hour programming. There were a total of five acts of violence, which included tripping and hitting people with a cane, verbal threats, and physical slapping with hands. All these actions were meant to be funny best evident by the laughter from the audience in the background each time something o .....

"Please Let Us Skate"

I have been skating for two and a half years now. Until recently, I have
started to skate with a couple of my friends whenever we have the time to. There
has never been a time where we haven't been stopped and kicked out. This has
been very irritating for us and we still don't understand why we're not welcomed
at any parks, other than the answer we always get, "You might hurt someone".
Personally, I think the only people that are .....

Personal Writing: Living In Both Texas And New York City
Number of words: 1211 - Number of pages: 5.... streets
and intersections. It seemed like everyone were heading for different
directions and the citizens of New York City are too busy with their own
affairs and does have time to care of what's going on in their surroundings.
The citizens of New York City would care less about the traffic safety and
reading the traffic signs. The smell of the city reminds me of the honey
roasted peanut stands, a sweet scent of aroma that would often fill up the
neighborhood. When I close my eyes and think deeply about NYC, there has
been a chime in my head of the messenge .....
