Term Papers on Social Issues
Mass Media, Sex, And Pornography

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

should not be dubbed as the “bad guys”. .....

From extreme power, to rapid decline, and slow reemergence (Software Toolworks Encyclopedia; 1992). The clan, who is notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was formed from some veterans from the confederate army and was first called the Kuklos Clan which, in Greek, meant Circle Clan.
One person thought it would be a good idea to call it the "Ku Klux Klan" as a parody of the fraternity names which always had three Greek alphabet letters in i .....

Anomalies Are Not Always Wrong
Number of words: 1649 - Number of pages: 6.... sexual behavior. These variations of the norm are explained as being disorders and are almost exclusively found in men. Transvestism is the activity of cross-dressing for sexual arousal from that specific object, whether it be clothing, shoes, or what. This can simply be called a fetish. The reasoning behind the few cases reported of female transvestism is explained in the following statement. "The culture apparently permits a greater range of fashion to women. The male transvestite wears female undergarments and uses makeup to achieve a female appearance" (Fein .....

Progresses In Society And Their Outcomes
Number of words: 807 - Number of pages: 3.... Responsibility is very important and a key essential to make a greater society.

As the individual takes on their own responsibilities, they should realize that they are bettering society not for them but for the future. And in the future many m .....

Family Values
Number of words: 887 - Number of pages: 4.... teach me values not taught to me when I was a child. I believe
it's like teaching an old dog new tricks. A child needs direction from the
childhood up to adulthood not the reverse. I recall coming home from school to
an empty house. My parents were working to provide us with a home, things we
needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A
popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song whose lyrics explained about
objects in a house that were still the same, but a house was not a home if there
wasn't anyone there you can kiss .....

believed the most is what the stereotypical teenage "freak" is.
Constantly people assume, just by looking at me, a lot of different things.
I was surprised to find the number of people who just figured I was into
drugs. I couldn't believe it. Apparently, because I choose to dress
differently, I must be trashed all the time. However, such is not the
case. Police assume we are trouble makers. I have been stopped countless
times, sworn at, and threate .....
