Individuality and creativity were pushed aside so colleges, universities, graduate schools and employers would be able to judge their candidates. In the text, Celebrating Diversity, a short segment called, " Add Teaching To High-Risk Jobs," writes, "You can have an 'A'."

Thus, a Sears And Roebuck catalogue from the 19th century offered Underwear For Fat Men with a line drawing a hefty, older fellow with a distended belly trying on a pair of longjohns (Sears & Roebuck, 1879, p. 6). In addition to such straightforward advertising, there were rules which limited the effectiveness of print ....

.... clothing would be eliminated which could hide weapons such as guns or knives. Fights also break out in schools because of the way students dress. Negative comments are often made at school by students about their classmates' clothing which provokes fighting. Obviously, some type of dress code would stop this. Studies show that a dress code reduces violence and makes students behave better because it makes everyone equal, bringing all of the students to the same level: "A dress code brings us together, like an athletic team. We're unified, we stand for the same things," said Bob Sanders, 57, a teacher at Antioch Christian Academy in Oklahoma City (David 2). Principa ....

According to Webster's Dictionary the word therapy means a "remedial treatment of bodily disorder". The disorders with which psychologists deal, are usually that of the brain although the problems caused by this area are in no way limited to mental areas; mental problems almost always cause physical ailments.

.... for this seemingly odd political structure was that it was not only important to fill the emotional needs of the people, it was also important to keep reason alive in both the minds of the people and those who govern them. He put these ideas into words in his book, Nouveau Christianne, which stated that a society organized by science must be balanced by the Brotherhood of Man. His doctrine was later turned into a religion by his followers. Even though many of his writings may seem extremely unrealistic, several of them were prophetic in nature.
