Slavery: A Justified Institution
Number of words: 1206 - Number of pages: 5

.... look weak and rash in concept. With the South's slavery dependent and fragile economy, Southerners were ready to fight for their survival with whatever means were necessary. Proslavery whites launched a defensive against slavery which explained the "peculiar institution" as a positive good, supported, in fact, by the sacred words of the Bible and the philosophy of the wise Aristotle. The moral and biblical justification surrounding their belief that the relations between slave and man, however admitting to deplore abuses in it, was compatible with Christ .....


Racism
Number of words: 578 - Number of pages: 3

.... beliefs, different cultures, different skin colour, all of these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism. Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each and every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting. Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the b .....


The Social Status Of The London Surgeon, 1350-1450
Number of words: 3296 - Number of pages: 12

.... as a craft.4 This craft ideology allowed access for untrained artisans to enter the field of surgery. In this paper, I will statistically demonstrate that the medieval English surgeon was threatened by the growing number of untrained practitioners between the years 1350 and 1450. In response to this threat, medieval surgeons attempted to institutionalize their profession. Ironically, the manner in which they defined their practice did not restrict untrained practitioners, but actually increased access for medically untrained artisans. In Medical Practitioners in .....


The Modern Men's Movement
Number of words: 1060 - Number of pages: 4

.... roles. “Created in the mid 1980's, the Mythopoetic men's movement emanates from the works of Robert Bly. His view is that the men's role has lost direction. The men's gatherings are to reconstruct a valid male initiation and role model.” (Schocke) This male movement has been cautiously encouraged by women's groups. Most realize the new pressures being exerted on men by the changes in society and recognize a male movement as a means to finding the new balance. "I believe that 'we', I.e. men and women, need a "men's movement" in the sense of men that have .....


Sociological Perspectives
Number of words: 1392 - Number of pages: 6

.... expected to thoroughly teach children about god. The church is there to provide the child with a religion to believe in. With both of those institution working together the child wouldn’t get both a good home and a healthy spiritual up bringing. Each one of the institutions is interdependent on the other. Another example is schools and the work force. The schools have to prepare people to be able to work in society. People would not be able to work if they weren’t first taught how to work. The schools help to keep social order, preparing people to work. .....


Appearances - A Universal Concern
Number of words: 982 - Number of pages: 4

.... very attractive by one group may even be seen as repulsive in another. The gangster with tattoos all over his body, clothed in attire that is much too large, with rings in all the most unexpected places, and sporting an outrageous hairdo, considers himself very attractive indeed. Yet, so do the tall, smartly dressed businesspersons with their suit, tie, and white handkerchief. Men and women of the Victorian era, when women's ankles were not even permitted to be exposed, would surely be shocked at the revealing outfits that have been donned by members of .....

Number of words: 457 - Number of pages: 2

.... and contain their own prescriptions toward behavior. The pidgin dialect is a major part of life in the lower class Hawaiian neighborhoods. For most children in these neighborhoods it is the language spoken at home. The other people of the islands look at this dialect as a sign of a poor education and up-bringing. My mother did not want her son associated with such a group of individuals. When I started school at Maunawili School and began to pick up Pidgin and start to speak it at home she took it upon herself to change me. At this time she was .....


Reducing Gun Violence
Number of words: 2036 - Number of pages: 8

.... that they must look for guidance if not perhaps for answers. Gun violence claims over 40,000 American lives a year. Among all consumer products, only motor vehicles outpace guns as a cause of fatal injury, and guns will pass them by 2003 (Violence Policy Center). Their are many different methods in , such as federal gun control laws, increasing penalties for gun-related crimes, banning handguns, on the television, and different types of gun safety practices. Today there are 20,000 different types of gun control laws in existence, (Bender 197) ranging fro .....
