.... realization that teenage depression can be life- changing, even life-threatening. (McCoy 21) Depression is a murky pool of feelings and actions scientists have been trying to understand since the days of Hippocrates, who called it a "black bile." It has been called "the common cold of mental illness and, like the cold, it's difficult to quantify." (Arbetter 1) If feelings of great sadness or agitation last for much more than two weeks, it may be depression. For a long time, people who were feeling depressed were told to "snap out of it." According to a study done by National Institute of Mental Health, half of all Americans still view depression as a personal weakness or c ....

.... Because I am involved in so many other clubs, I can get along well with others. I also have numerous fundraiser ideas. In my past experiences, I have found that the most successful fundraisers are those that are directed towards adults. For example, a chicken charbroil on a Saturday afternoon is always very profitable. We can pre-sale tickets to businesses, especially car dealerships who cater food to their employees on Saturdays. Usually, people will donate the paper goods and chips. Charbroils are very good fundraisers to do. Parents always volunteer to cook the chickens and help to organize things, at least mine do anyway. If we wanted to do an in school fu ....

.... things. Men were made to run things. When women try to run things and usurp the authority from men they mess things up.” This type of attitude from men is what keeps woman from surpassing them in the world. Most grown men view women only as housewives, incapable of nothing else. In the minds of some men women were meant to stay at home and clean the house, raise the children, and cook the meals. Even when woman decided to join the work force they had few careers to choose from. It was not until the late 1980’s that woman were accepted in to higher paying careers by the men that were already dominating the workforce. Even today when they are accepted into the workforce th ....

.... citizens. These programs were a response to economic, political and cultural circumstances that demanded, then encouraged, and then tolerated widespread discrimination on the basis of such factors as color, gender and ethnic background. The common hope was that these programs would be transitory in nature and would enable us as a society to reach a point, at some future date, when they would no longer be needed" (Shapiro). It is my opinion that we have now reached that date. Continued use of the policy is much like continued use of a strong medication. When a patient is suffering from a terrible disease, as was the United States suffering from discrimination, strong medica ....

.... The way that the Hope scholarship works is that all Georgia high school students that graduates with a 'B' average or higher becomes eligible to receive a grant to help cover the cost of tuition, book, and mandatory fees at any public Georgia college or university and a $3,000 dollar scholarship to any private college (Educational Uses of Lottery Proceeds 1). Also, they will provide full tuition, books, and fees to any technical institute in the state of Georgia. That sounds like a whole lot of incentive for young adults to make a 'B' average in school. I just don't understand why North Carolina does not have the same incentive for our children. To keep the college student a ....

.... din of all these discordant sounds, she hears, in low, yet unmistakable accents, the heart rending cries of her ancient gods, cutting her to the quick. He saying to the Indian people to not forget There heritage, and more importantly not to think of there lifestyle as primitive they should automatically put people and there ideas on a pedestal, it is new and different doesn’t mean its good for the Indian people.

.... for and against. Two articles that are strongly in support of legalized same sex marriage are Iowa Representative Ed Fallon’s speech to the House in 1996, and an article from the Partners Task Force for Gay and Lesbian Couples. One article that is strongly opposed to same sex marriage is an article written by Dr. Paul Cameron titled “Same Sex Marriage: Till Death Do Us Part?” In a speech read to the United States House of Representatives on February 20, 1996, Iowa Representative Ed Fallon discussed why he is in support of the legalization of same sex marriage. He began his speech, by stating of this debate and how their vote would affect the public’s point of view. ....

.... that are censoring then they will have control over the largest sores or information in the world. If that happens then the government will be able to get away with anything and cover up and scandal they want. Many of the issues that are used in free speech are those of Racist comments. That is why some people thing that freedom of speech on the net should be censored because they are offended by its contents. There have been many people that have gone as far as killing them selves to make people aware or the racism that has plagued the world today this is the most extreme and most desperate way to use your freedom of speech.
