.... the care or support of a parent. In terms of welfare reform, this is the program most often discussed. The media has created many myths regarding welfare and the reasons the system should be done away with. Stating that the majority of new welfare recipients are poor, single mothers, claims have been made that poor women have more children because of the incentives of welfare benefits. It has been proven that is no correlation between women's choice to have children and welfare benefit levels. Furthermore, for each additional child, a mother can expect an additional $90 of AFDC benefits, far too low to serve as any type of incentive. In addition, those states that pr ....

.... make room for the new car. This proves very useful for the person that cannot afford a new car. Unfortunately, the used car is rarely in perfect condition, and can sometimes require some minor repair. Of course, one can't expect to find a great used car that does not cost more then a car in worse condition, but this is to be expected. When one goes to buy a used car they should look for some key things, before buying the car: 1. Check the car's interior thoroughly. Was the car kept clean all this time or was it neglected? Is it up to what would be par? 2. Get an unbiased mechanic to look at the engine and look over the entire car. Do they think that it is in g ....

.... and images on a huge scale causing Europeans to feel as if they have been blanketed with the American culture. During my research, I found that the American fast-food restaurant, McDonald’s Corporation, while playing an integral role in Americanizing Europe, also helped to preserve the distinctive European culture. The emergence of consumerism in postwar Europe coincided with a substantial growth in personal and disposable income. In France, for example, wages rose more rapidly than the cost of living during the 1950s, leading to a sharp increase in purchase power (Bédarida 108). Consumption was additionally stimulated by an expansion of credit and by people’s ....

.... budget since 1969. There is doubt by citizens that a balanced budget will become reality. A recent Gallop Poll from January, 1996 showed the budget as the #1 concern among taxpayers, but 4/5 of those interviewed said they doubt the GOP will do the job (Holding 14). Meanwhile, an ABC poll from November reported that over 70% of those polled disapprove of the current performance by Congress, and most blamed politicians for failure to take action (Cloud 3709). These accusations of failure to follow through come with historical proof that Congress and Clinton have failed to compromise and resolve the issue. After all, current budget plans are dependent on somew ....

.... (Charles 353). Charles argues this by showing his audience the regional dialects and imagery Coke uses to appeal to its audience. Charles tells us about a Coca-Cola advertisement he found in VIBE magazine: The ad depicts a young black man and woman with their backs to one another, drinking out of contoured plastic Coke bottles. Behind this attractive couple is a massive fan, its blades representing 1:40 P.M. on a clock. While both of the people in the photograph are independently handsome…neither seems visibly perfected. (352) The images in this ad compound upon one another to show the viewer that anyone can drink Coke at any time and be cool. The attractive, ye ....

.... and student loan programs. Though the numbers may still be at issue, all sides agree that taxes must be cut. But is a tax cut wise? Fifty years ago The Atlantic published an article by the then-managing editor of the Monroe Evening News, Karl Zeisler. In his article "Who Wants Taxes Cut," (October, 1945) Zeisler makes a persuasive argument against the low-tax lobby and the low-tax ethic itself. Zeisler's argument is, in effect, that in government as in business you get what you pay for--and in the case of taxes, he theorizes, the more citizens pay on a local level the more likely they will be to insist that they get their money's worth. Inadequate funding for school ....

.... -- is the rush toward breaking up multi- business companies and spinning off their components, under the theory that their size and diversity inhibited their competitiveness ... breaking up is the right answer for some big companies ... for us it is the wrong answer.²1 For us the new trend is the entrance into the service industry. The question must then be: is this the right answer? GE is expecting to increase its revenue by the year 2000 to $120 billion compared with $58 billion in 1990. In other words, if the forecast proves to be correct, it will obtain an average annual rate of growth of 7.5%. This high rate is mainly attributed to the expansion of the services s ....

.... the physician as the therapist. In the 1930's and 1940's, approximately 60 percent of all medications dispensed were compounded. Then in the 1950s and 1960s, with the creation of commercial drug manufacturers, compounding declined. It was during this time that a pharmacist, known as a compounder or apothecary, became known as a dispenser of manufactured drugs. In the 1980's and now in the 1990's, patients and doctors are realizing the need for specific doses and customized medications. Today, almost 43,000 compounded dosage forms are dispensed each day. In the 1990's, even with the popularity of compounding growing again only a few pharmacists can be known as a comp ....
