.... live with all the violence our ancestors did. The founding fathers continued to push them further and further away because it was beneficial to them at the time. They said if you stay here we will not bother you anymore, then when they decided that area was nice and they needed it for the white man. Then we began to take the black man out of Africa and use them on our plantations so the white man could get more money. The President ended slavery, but there were ways around it and everyone knew it. No one ever said any persecution of the black man is wrong for years and why not, because it was more convenient for us to ignore it. Now the people from Latin American countr ....

.... third term, and so on. The first 14 Fibonacci numbers are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, and 377. It is a number sequence in which each new term is the sum of the proceeding two terms. After the first two Fibonacci numbers, every number in the sequence equals the sum of the two previous numbers. is called a recursive sequence because each number is a function of the proceeding two numbers, both of which change as the sequence progresses. (1) The formula for Fibonacci numbers is: Fn=Fn-1. (4) To show his sequence he often created interesting problems or stories. Probably his most famous problem is this one: A man bought a pair of rabbits on Jan. 1st ....

.... two sexes exist - male and female. Yet the natural notion of two sexes which is taken as a given in recent years has come under scrutiny. In the school of Social Constructionist thought the pervading idea is, all perceived relations between the individual and the external world are a product of the social milieu. Monique Wittig argues dogmatically this very ideal in her essay One Is Not Born A Woman. Wittig is a Material Feminist; consequently she analyzes the definition of what a woman is, and tries to move away from the notion of naturalness in women. She concedes there is no naturalness in male or female, rather the notion of sex is a gross misrepresentation creat ....

.... nation. No matter in what culture you find teenagers, they will probably be stereotyped. This is evident in the novel as well as in our own culture. For example, the Akpei people (neighbors to the nearby Igbuno village) have found that someone has fished and trampled in their stream. ( This is a very bad thing because the vegetation and fish are now no longer available) The blame immediately lands upon the Uma aya Biafra, or teenagers of Igbuno. There is no question, it is just assumed that teenagers were involved. (Unfortunately, Uche, a teenager from Igbuno, has committed this heinous crime). Also, when the people of Akpei find that someone is stealing from their ....

.... ft). At each end of the court is a vertical backboard, measuring usually about 2 m by 1 m (about 6 ft by 4 ft). Each backboard is anchored to a wall, suspended from the ceiling, or otherwise mounted so that its lower edge is about 2.7 m (about 9 ft) above the court. (Backboards originated to keep spectators from interfering with the game.) The baskets are attached firmly to the backboards about 3 m (about 10 ft) above the playing surface. Each basket is about 46 cm (about 18 in) in diameter and consists of a horizontal hoop, or metal ring, from which a fringe of wide-meshed white netting is hung. The regulation basketball is an inflated, leather- or nylon-covered sphere tha ....

.... still the Ku Klux Klan, and many people were angry towards the million man march. In the 50's teenagers were not listened to. The father went to work all day, the mother did housework and made dinner. There wasn’t much affection inside the family, or communication. In the 90's, almost all of the teen crimes in America is blamed on a parents communication with their children. There are many advances today that were not conceivable in the 50's. Today you can live after suffering from many diseases that would killed you in the 50's. We don’t have to worry about polio, the flu, and or pneumonia. Today we all have at least one TV, most of us have m ....

.... needed to succeed in business, relationships, sports, and education. Is stress bad or good? It is both. Good stress is manageable stress an can actually heighten your performance in certain situations. Bad stress is unmanageable stress and lessens your performance because it’s too much to bare.

.... above the flaws, failures or triumphs. By suggesting such a quality, Sophocles and Homer glorify or debase characters such as . Rage, anger and revenge are exhibited by both Achilles and Creon. Achilles shows his rage in Book I of The Iliad when he speaks out against Agamemnon and refuses to fight, as well as in Book XXII when he avenges the death of Patroclus by the slaughter of Hector. Book XXIV, however, is the book in which Achilles situation most closely parallels that of Priam. To most objectively compare their characters, it is important that the situations we see them responding to are as similar as possible. In Antigone, the battle is over and all that remai ....
