.... "Was the Internet truly a move towards better life, or was it a turn for the worse?" The Internet has put a whole new twist on communication. One can send a letter to a friend and they will receive it within ten minutes. One can talk to people from all over the globe, without long distance charges, one can get information on any topic they choose, book reservations for a flight or dinner, purchase items from stereo systems to potato chips. It is endless to the variety of things that one used to have to put energy into which can now be done with a click of the mouse. A personal home page, which is a web site that is created for a certain individual can be produced by a beg ....

.... shield? They told us to go underground, but most of us could not afford a bomb shelter. I remember movies showing soldiers in nuclear test areas. The blast and the wind and the mushroom shaped cloud. I remember news reels at the movie theater about the destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a child, I do not really recall feeling threatened by this. I do not remember being disturbed. Perhaps my parents did an especially good job of assuring us that we needn’t worry about such things. I remember my mother, a reminding me of a scripture in the Bible. She is a firm believer that the Bible is the word of God. She assured me with several passages, that God would not ....

.... any sort of sympathy for the other side. They are sticking with their proposals without any thoughts of changing them. Confusion is setting in on both sides. They are finding it hard to lean toward a goal when they do not know what they want. The baseball strike involves greed, uncertainty, and lack of desire to resolve the issue on both sides. While confusion mounts among owners and persistence rides high among players, things are only going to get worse until they come to some sort of an agreement. The baseball strike of `94 officially hit the hearts of America on August 12, three quarters into one of the most intriguing seasons in a long time. A season on ....

.... a crowd, they now starting building malls, there's no town center, and urban; suburban sprawl are rapidly increasing. When people feel they don't belong to something, they don't have the need to be wanted. They tend to feel that no one wants them around. The Anomie starts to kick in because they started to lose the norms and values of society. Moral confusion sets in. 2.From Durkheim, Why does Japan have a high suicide rate, use Durkheim's notion of Altruistic Suicide? Japan has a high suicide rate, which we call altruistic suicide. Most of the suicide that occurs in Japan is because the individual shames the family or religion. Japanese culture has a family with clos ....

.... old cultures but to forge a new, American culture." (Schlesinger 22). In the 20th century, the melting pot is not working, and the whole idea is under attack (Evans 76). The United States has changed from a melting pot to a vast culture with varying backgrounds. In years before, America was a collection of Chinese, Germans, Italians, Scots, Croats, etc., all craving freedom. Today, even the simple concept of an English-speaking nation is fading off the continent. In the old days, immigrants were taught in English in the public schools. (76). In America today, children are taught in German, Italian, Polish, and 108 other languages. Most of these sc ....

.... If you have paid attention to the news lately, you will know that many bad things have been happening recently in Cookieland. Keebler Elves have been on strike, Oreo's aren't just fun to twist, and Little Debbie has been on the rise and is taking away a majority of business from these wonderful people. So, like immigrants back in the 1800's, the cookies want to get out of their homeland and onto a better place. So, this is where the Cookieland Government comes into play. They have proposed a "plan" which reads as follows... "All cookies wanting to move away from Cookieland at this time of hardship are to apply at the Central Government agencies. Upon app ....

.... communities, where contact with neighbors is often minimal” (Doug Adams, Sociology Dept). Living in close quarters always has some advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is compromising with your privacy. Living so close to each other could mean much more interaction with neighbors. For a social person this might be a good idea but for a person who does not like to socialize as much his could be a nightmare. I think the biggest advantage in co-housing is the sense of security. It could mean more eyes are watching your property. Co-op’s are much cheaper than private houses. You can find a co-op in a neighborhood where you can not afford a house. You ....

.... we produce every year, that 15% is enormous. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that we produce one ton of toxic wastes for every single person living in Canada every year. That means that the 15% represents about 4.2 million tons of toxic waste. Toxic wastes which are dumped in improper sites can seep into underground water supplies and contaminate huge areas. If the land that is intoxicated supports plant life, most of the plants and trees will die off. If the area is lived on by humans, it could cause serious illness or death. For example, an area by Niagara Falls (US side) was used during the 1930s by a chemical company to dump it's wastes. Most ....
