.... on TV has to do with some kind of terrible murder. Shows like “New York Undercover” always end up with a seen where someone is shot to death. This makes the viewer perceive society as a place too dangerous to live in. A very obvious monster in America is a criminal. Americans fear burglars, rapists, and killers in their own cities and states. They are feared because their victims are people like themselves and are victimized in very familiar places to the average American. That is why people protect themselves with security systems and weapons. Criminals are .....

.... get away with a drug charge and aggravated the police officers to the point they had to restrain him. In this case the police reacted to a tense situation with force and confidence that what they were doing the right thing. The police that the author talked to said they would have reacted the same way and most of the police officers that were interviewed said that was the right thing to do. Some said they weren't rough enough. What people saw in this case was the police officers beating Mr. King without mercy. I don't think that's what happened I th .....

.... are affected by attendance. On the other hand, the sober guy is always on time for class, awake, and without a hangover. The party animal is usually a popular guy. People are always saying hi to him or waving to him on campus. Most of the time he doesn't even remember who they are. The sober guy goes to class and that's it. He usually has the business before pleasure attitude. Once finished with the days studies he will then hang out with his friends. These are just two stereotypes of people on campus. They are almost exact opposites. The part .....

.... problem? Probably not. They did have fewer single-parenting situations - there was less illegitimacy and divorce then - but life expectancy was lower, so there were lots of orphans and half-orphans. We're more spread out now, but our travel time is not any greater. What I learned leads me to wonder: Why can't we do the same? Were Americans then a different people than we are today? Have we become so corrupted that we don't care about others? Have we become so lazy that we are unwilling to suffer with? I think not. I hope not. But we have bec .....

.... through the door. I looked at the machines and noticed a sign that read “Must be at least 18 years of age to play”. I had $1.50 in quarters in my pocket, so I played. I was ahead in the game, so I decided to cash what I had out. The machine printed out a yellow ticket. I lost the rest of the credits and took the ticket up to the clerk and he told me that it was worth one dollar. I picked a scratch off and won ten dollars. This experience shows there is a difference between being eighteen and being twenty-one. If the machine will physically give you money, .....

.... are routinely promoted without the necessary skills needed for the next level. Assigning blame singly on the system, the teachers, the parents, or the student will not correct the matter. The issue must be evaluated holistically. All students leaving high school should be proficient at a college entry level; able to read, express themselves eloquently in written and oral form, think critically, compute mathematics, have some first hand appreciation of the arts and a strong sense of values. The inadequate education California's students are presently receiving ca .....

.... Santa Barbara, 184 students received partial course credit in return for their participation. Subjects in the experiment were assigned to the cells of a 2(positive or neutral mood) x 2(emotional or rational message type) x 2(strong or weak argument quality). Subjects were in groups of two to six. After this step was established, eight messages in approximately equal length were developed. Each message contained six arguments that were either in favor or against using animals for research purposes. Rational and emotional were used in nature an .....

.... to people being under the influence of some type of narcotic or alcohol. In a survey conducted in the University of Tennessee for the Department of Health, the effects of drug abuse on violence were studied. It was found that almost 56% of drinkers also used drugs while drinking. Interestingly, white males were found to be more abusive than black males. The study showed direct links from substance abuse to violence and crime. With drug use and violence rising, a direct correlation can be seen. Our society has created drug awareness programs in our schools, b .....
