Controversial Pornography
Number of words: 1335 - Number of pages: 5.... However, there are also many extremely conservative individuals who
take offense to such "artwork" and find its contents appalling. And those who
enjoy the nudity and sexual content exhibited in pornographic materials should
marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In
the words of Justice William O. Douglas, "no one is compelled to look"
(Brownmiller 663). There is no concrete manner to define materials that are
"obscene" or "offensive" because various images come to mind among individuals
when words similar to these are use .....

Two Parents Or One?
Number of words: 1386 - Number of pages: 6.... parents are
not there to teach them how to love, their love might be somewhat one-sided
(Curtin et al. 371). Yes, single parents can show their love toward their
children, but they have no spouse to express love to. Children from single
parent families are therefore denied that learning experience of how a husband
and a wife should love one another (Curtin et al. 369).
Relationships are another thing that everyone needs, especially children.
Children need a real strong relationship between themselves and their parents,
but children from single parent fam .....

Divorce
Number of words: 599 - Number of pages: 3.... of supporting their children. There were two main reasons for this, first, majority of divorced women did not have a job and needed money to help support the children.

Today Judges realize that woman have qualifications for well paying jobs and do not need to be supported fully by their ex-husbands. They can also file for no-fault divorces. No-fault divorce is when neither side is labeled guilty. Some people oppose no-fault divorces because they believe .....

Feminism
Number of words: 681 - Number of pages: 3.... label for convenience
sake. (Richard A. Rogers, "Constructivism, Feminism and Nature: Does
Language Have to In-Form?") It was convenient for a woman to have no
education, but be attractive and get married at a young age. A man to
take care of their needs, but did they really?
With that question, I bring about the topic of feminism. Were
women totally unparalell then with today's working woman? A question
often asked, but never really dissolved. My point in tact would be women
were basically the same emotionally, but had a greater demand to be
s .....

How To Overcome Shyness
Number of words: 1092 - Number of pages: 4.... the same boat as you. Some people are just better at hiding their insecurities and fears, making them appear to never exhibit shyness. Once you begin to understand “The spider is more afraid of you than you are of it,” then you will begin to excel in your relationships with other people around you.
First step: begin by saying ‘hi’ to 5 new people everyday. Not too long ago, I noticed that I even did not know how to perform the simple of saying ‘hi’ to people. Then, what happened? As I started to analyze myself, I could not come to any logical conclusion as to why .....

Violence Is An Appropriate Response To Racism
Number of words: 530 - Number of pages: 2.... 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
for an eye and we shall all be blind'. Gandi meant that so mang people hurt
other people that they would end up seriously hurt. Put this teaching into
practise, if someone hurts you once let them do it a secong time is the message
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 because if people have
th .....

Homosexuals: A Suspect Class?
Number of words: 2624 - Number of pages: 10.... no one who can claim that they have never had contact with a
homosexual. In the middle of all this publicity, there lingers a pending
Supreme Court case in which the fate of the homosexual lies: Romer v. Evans, a
case that dominated Colorado that has come to "symbolize the controversy over
gay legal rights" throughout the nation. This paper will trace the elements
behind that case, and attempt to focus on the steps the Supreme Court will
follow to determine whether homosexuality must be legally considered a "suspect
class" for the purposes of "quot .....
