Animal Testing
Number of words: 923 - Number of pages: 4.... the same way we do. Yet, needless and painful experiments are preformed repeatedly on them without anesthesia. For something like cosmetics this is ridiculous. Karen Stevens, the founder and president of the organization All For Animals, founded in 1992, says; "There is no law that requires companies to test their personal care and household products on animals before selling them to consumers"
It is already known that there are ingredients that are perfectly safe for our skin. We know that making cosmetics does not require . It is done without . Many com .....

Materialism Vs Idealism
Number of words: 602 - Number of pages: 3.... into the
vacuity. The atoms alone are without mind or secondary qualities, but they
can combine to form living and thinking objects, along with sound, color,
taste, etc... Atoms form life, consciousness, and the soul, and when our
body dies there is nothing left of the latter except for its parts, which
randomly become parts of other forms.
Matter is never ending reality, only changing in its form. In the
philosophical system developed by Irish philosopher George Berkeley,
Idealism, Berkeley states that physical objects, matter, do not exist
independent of the .....

Natural Hierarchies In Society
Number of words: 2100 - Number of pages: 8.... political animal." (Aristotle, 556). The state is established for the good of everyone as whatever man produced was for a benefit. The state also brought the good out of man. Without the state, man would be "either a beast or a god." (Aristotle, 557).
The soul was naturally higher than the body as it naturally governed the actions of the body. People whose bodies were in control could be hurtful.
"… Although in bad or corrupted natures the body will often appear to rule over the soul, because they are in an evil and unnatural condition." (Aristotle, 560).

Feminism And Gender Equality In The 1990's
Number of words: 2035 - Number of pages: 8.... women.
Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman
was actually selfish and evil.
I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be
a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A Weekend
with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother,
divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to
spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy,
and a good cook and gardener. And there is love and laughter and growing
flowers and ho .....

African American Vs. Caucasian Americans
Number of words: 400 - Number of pages: 2.... gets in trouble
the rest of the group is nowhere to be found. Most times when you see young
Caucasian people in a group they are for the most part within a normal speaking
level. These two groups tend to act differently in the public due to their
cultural differences. There are a number of differences between the churches of
African Americans and Caucasians. At most typical African American churches
there are no true sermons. The African American churches tend to do more
entertaining rather than teaching. They also do a great deal of singing and
dancing inv .....

Gender Stereotypes
Number of words: 1402 - Number of pages: 6.... mean that parents are
affected less by the TV. On the contrary, they are often more affected than
their kids, of course not by cartoons, but by shows that contain information
about serious subjects such as parenthood. Concerned with being good parents,
people are accumulating a lot of information on the subject. As the information
can be very helpful, sometimes it can be destructive. That is the case when it
comes to the problem of "tomboys" and "sissies." What are these two terms used
for? The term "tomboy" is used when referring to a girl who is masculine, .....

The Real Issue Of Youth Violence
Number of words: 2452 - Number of pages: 9.... that I feel is
particularly disturbing is that people feel that video games are
responsible for violence in youths. I have grown up with video games my
whole life. I annihilate over a million aliens, monsters, and green slimy
things every year. Yet, I have never felt compelled to commit any act of
violence that I see on the screen. What is on the screen stays on the
screen. I have known that from the very beginning. My parents taught me at
an early age that what is on the screen is for fun, and it is not to be
done off the screen. Video games actually act as .....

Violence And Pornography
Number of words: 581 - Number of pages: 3.... for. I generated an alter-ego to fulfill my
fantasies under-cover. Pornography was a means of unlocking the evil I had
burried inside myself˙ (Leidholdt 47). Is it possible that pornography is
acting as the key to unlocking the evil in more unstable minds?
According to Edward Donnerstein, a leading researcher in the pornography
field, ˙the relationship between sexually violent images in the media and
subsequent aggression and . . . callous attitudes towards women is much stonger
statistically than the relationship between smoking and cancer˙ (Itzin 22).
