A Woman's Identity
Number of words: 610 - Number of pages: 3.... same time. Despite the fact that women have the job of raising their family,
many women also have full time careers because the extra income is often needed
in the family. Some men criticize women for trying to act too much like men, but
women are being forced by society to move between the traditional definitions of
male and female roles, because of the many different tasks they have to carry
out from day to day. For example, in order for women to enter the “male” world
of work, they have to obtain “masculine” traits and leave their “feminine”
traits at home. .....

Justice
Number of words: 607 - Number of pages: 3.... whether in the lunch-line or the bathroom line, is
completely unfair. (Unless, of course, you're the person budging.) A line
is formed as a way to make everyone wait the same. The whole system is
ruined if someone budges. Budging is rarely caught, but when it is, the
punishment is severe. The person who budged usually has to go to the end
of the line. The only problem with this is that people aren't caught often
enough.
Cheating is yet another of the unfair practices that go on in
school. This kind of deceit is a no-win situation. T .....

Following A Dream Toward Freedom
Number of words: 439 - Number of pages: 2.... freedom is allowed to work for everyone.
"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a
world founded upon four essential human freedoms," stated Franklin Roosevelt in
his 1941 President's Annual Address to Congress. "The first is freedom of
speech and expression-everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every
person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. The third is
freedom want-which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life f .....

America: A Melting Pot
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... people would say the U.S. is a melting pot. Some reasons people might believe this is because the U.S. is made up of many different nationalities of people. Some ideas have come from these groups of people. These ideas may have been words or types of agriculture but these do not begin to relate to the true meaning of the melting pot theory.
In today's society most ethnic groups have to become accustomed to an American way of life which means the English language. This is a problem because these people have to learn English to survive or they will not be a .....

Anti-Affirmative Action
Number of words: 594 - Number of pages: 3.... of
their potential lack basic skills. As remarked by Maarten de Wit, an
author who's article I found on the World Wide Web, affirmative action
beneficiaries are "not the best pick, but only the best pick from a limited
group." Another article I found, "Affirmative action: A Counter-
Productive Policy" by Ernest Pasour also on the W.W.W., is one example
which reveals that Duke, a very famous and prestigious university, adopted
a resolution requiring each of it's department to hire at least one new
African-American for a faculty position the 1993 date. M .....

The Effect Of Adoption
Number of words: 513 - Number of pages: 2.... of these feelings of rejection, can be very difficult for anyone to overcome, especially an adopted child.
Individual identity is usually derived from our natural parents. They give us a sense of who we are to be. For adoptees, this source of information is unavailable for them to draw information from. Instead, the role of their parents is now played by
Yet another problem facing adoptees is the issue of intimacy. It has been thought that perhaps this is one way for the adoptee to avoid possible reenactment of previous losses. Most of the time th .....

"Does The Military Continue To Have Sexual Harassment And Discrimination Against Women In The 90's?"
Number of words: 1495 - Number of pages: 6.... that protecting the home and going to war
are a man's work, men from minority groups have often been accepted more
readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in
a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we
are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted
because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor,
infantry, and special forces--branches from which much of the senior leadership
is drawn. “In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Surve .....

Social Environment And Its Effect On One's Life
Number of words: 966 - Number of pages: 4.... that their children are supervised and well taken care of. The rich also
have the luxury of affording special tutors to help their children while other
children are on their own.
For example, there are three students, one from a clean, upper-class
community, another from a small, middle-class suburb and the other from a
graffiti-ridden slum. All three of these students have exceptional GPA's and
scored very well on standardized testing. The student from the upper-class
community will have the best chance of succeeding. Tuition will never be a
problem and c .....
