Pornography, car racing, multi-player games, chat rooms, and shopping malls are just a finite portion of the content of the Internet. While some content is certainly beneficial to today’s Internet society, a large portion condones, encourages, and develops negative contributions to everyday life. One such issue, the avocation of illegal drug use through websites, Usenet, email, and countless other media plagues our society, especially the impressionable youth. The encouragement of drug use, and avocation of different methods of drug use enhancement is certainly harmful to so ....

They also would not paddle out to the same waves as the royal family. For it wasn’t until the 1950’s that the surfing craze developed, and that’s when the “spicoli” trait first came about. The “spicoli” trait is the perfect example of stereotyping a surfer, the trait is classically defined as one who is ignorant and is involved with the usage of drugs, or most often referred to as the “beach bum”. When people look at surfers all that comes to mind is ignora ....

.... also another reason. Arguments say "the United States could help slow the atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide by replacing old-growth forests with faster-growing young trees". A new study of young and old forests says how this is in fact not true. Loggers have said that new trees pull the carbon dioxide better than old trees, and this may seem true, but it is not. There is one point being overlooked from all of this. The older, larger trees can store much, much more carbon dioxide than a new tree could. By cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees, the CO2 is being released back into the atmosphere. These releases of carbon dioxide add up in our surro ....

.... month (Facts for Teens, 1). It is the second most popular drug among teens in the US (Encarta, 1).

.... Spanish and other Latin American dialects to teach their children English. They know that it does not matter if a child is African American, Chinese, Spanish, or Italian. For a child to learn they know you have to build on what that child knows. Therefore, if the child comes into the room saying 'dis' and 'dat', the teacher instead of frowning needs to know that 'dis' means 'this' and 'dat' means 'that' and responds accordingly not with a frown but with the proper words.1 Those who objects the introduction of English says that the introduction of Ebonics will assist those who do not fully understand standard English or who loses interest because they feel that the ....

.... while working on their high school newspaper. They made a number of attempts creating the Superman character. The first attempt utilized a bald middle aged man with advanced mental abilities. The next attempt was closer to the Superman we now know. He was younger and had hair but was not an alien with super powers. “The ultimate version of Superman was born one night in 1934, when Siegel found new ideas coming so fast that he couldn’t sleep” (Daniels 21).

.... (Poussaint 4). Another reason given for the current trend is an increasing social and economical independence among women (Hollander 23). A third reason for the current trend is the increase in the chance of a divorce for those that are getting married. A married woman in 1990 that was between the age of 20-34 had about a 19.6 percent chance that her marriage would end in divorce. The projection for the same age group is that within 15 years, the percentage among the same age group of women will be around 40 percent (Russell 211). So, the current popular saying of “half of marriages end in divorce” is slowly becoming true. The demographic trend toward single ....
