First Stand
Number of words: 1465 - Number of pages: 6.... 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
sides are at war I thin .....

The Urban Underclass: Challenging THe Myths ABout America's Urban Poor
Number of words: 1146 - Number of pages: 5.... of teen
agers who are unmarried mothers, exploding welfare rolls, and legions of
high school dropouts consigned forever to joblessness. Yet none of these
perceptions is true, according to a new Brookings book, The Urban
Underclass. Edited by Christopher Jencks of Northwestern University and
Paul E. Peterson of Harvard, this set of essays attempts to separate the
truth about poverty, social dislocation and changes in American family life
from the myths that have become part of contemporary folklore.
According to a number of indicators the underclass is s .....

World Cultures: Comparing China And The United States
Number of words: 717 - Number of pages: 3.... the
government runs everything, the businesses and jobs, they pay everyone equally.
This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter
how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a
Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for
us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has
been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a
Democratic-Republic, that was the reason why the United States was formed.
China though has not always b .....

The Influence Of Parents On Their Children's Sexual Orientation
Number of words: 712 - Number of pages: 3.... Others have said that children identify with an opposite-sex
parent and copying their behavior, this coupled with a distant same-sex parent
makes the argument even more believable. It is also possible that homosexual
parents reinforce certain types of behavior, either homo- or heterosexual
(Bailey 125-126).
Some say that hormones affect the sexuality of children, which may be
inherited from the parents. For example, an anatomical difference in the
hypothalamus of homosexual men has recently been identified, but the reason for
this difference is still unk .....

Hardships That Children Face
Number of words: 929 - Number of pages: 4.... that a child does is learn. Now this can be good things, but the same child can and will pick up the bad things. This is a huge injustice because the child is basically being programmed before he or she has the chance to make up his or her mind. Hate can become acceptable in many forms such as bigotry, racism, or sexism. By the words and actions of a parent the child can be abused, which will in turn lead to the second thing that a child does and that is grow. As the child learns from the parents he or she also matures into a likeness in someway of that .....

Does The Mass Media Cause Undesireable Social Consequences With Specific Reference To Pornography
Number of words: 2703 - Number of pages: 10.... criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media does not cause undesirable social behaviour and in actuality, the media people should not be dubbed as the “bad guys”. They simply use their .....

Intimacy
Number of words: 1028 - Number of pages: 4.... of relationship and intimacy. If we hadn't, our living conditions would
have become understandably tenuous. The development of relationships and
intimacy has some very definitive steps. The first step is initiating which is
making contact with the other person and showing that you are the kind of person
worth talking to. Our relationship was initiated as soon as I was brought into
this world and facilitated by the fact that we were brother and sister. The
next step is experimenting which is deciding whether we want to pursue a
relationship further by .....

Why Are There Poor People
Number of words: 451 - Number of pages: 2.... the
same life as our family did. Some kids parents didn't have jobs to go to every
day, or cars to take them wherever they needed to go, and not every family in
the world had breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. He told me that I was
very lucky to have all the things that I had, and that millions of kids in the
world would die to have the life I had. I was still very confused about the
whole situation. Why wasn't every family like ours? What did those people do
wrong? My dad just said that was life . . . some people are lucky, and some
people aren't.
