Television Born Killers
3181 Words - 12 Pages

.... the attitudes and behaviour of children who watch it." Signorielli (1991) finds that "Most of the scientific evidence ... reveals a relationship between television and aggressive behaviour. While few would say that there is absolute proof that watching television caused aggressive behaviour, the overall cumulative weight of all the studies gives credence to the position that they are related" (p. 94-95). The question is whether these generalised lab findings can be equated with real life. The experiments done in this field are all controlled. They do not correlate with real life problems. While these experiments support the argument, many do not live up to good empirical ....

557 Words - 3 Pages

.... messages.” I believe that one of the most prominent examples of violence in music is the controversial song by the band Body Count “Cop Killer” which was discontinued from all music stores after some police officers were murdered. The chorus to this song can obviously explain why it was discontinued. The chorus goes as follows, “I’m a….COP KILLER, better you than me. COP KILLER, f**k police brutality! COP KILLER, I know your family’s grievin’ …F**K ‘EM! COP KILLER, but tonight we get even. I think just from those few lines you can understand why it was necessary to remove this album from stores. The first amendment right to free speech is cruci ....


Three Ways To End Racial Discrimination
659 Words - 3 Pages

.... exposure to different minority groups they will grow accustom to them. Sam Houston High School has students from all walks of life. These students are in the same clubs and organizations, play the same sports, and are all equally competitive in the same classes. This proves that different races can co-exist in an environment with out one group feeling out of place or inferior. Let the Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and Asian children continue to learn and play together and racism will have no place in society. Some argue that racism will not end, yet look at the deterioration over the past 200 years. With time America's decline of racism will continue. J ....


The War On...Dress Codes
535 Words - 2 Pages

.... why doesn’t our school allow it? Some say that it would be a distraction to the students’ education. In reality, that probably wouldn’t be true. If everyone was allowed to dress anyway they wanted to, the student body would get used to see that sort of clothing and it would become just another part of going to school. Actually, most of the time, any problems caused due to clothing are usually due to someone stealing someone else’s expensive clothes, such as Tommy Hilfiger, which we are allowed to wear. Numerous students would also like to wear shirts and other clothing related to Satan. Worshipping Satan is just another form of religion, just like worship ....

.... to have the same rights of any citizen born in America. These policies, known as naturalization laws, swept through all of the colonies after the Parliament passed a Naturalization Act in 1740. This Act did not permit Catholics and Jew to naturalize the colonies. (222) By 1790, the English accounted for forty-nine percent of the people in America. They were not the only group of people to be represented in the colonies. Africans made up nineteen percent of the population while the Irish and Scots accounted for fifteen percent. Germany made up seven percent, Dutch three, and French two percent. The ethnic diversity of the United States was obvious. (222) In 1 ....

.... himself. Ace uses his tough guy facade to compensate for not knowing how to express love or function in the normal social since.

Cultural Differences Between Americans And Spaniards
833 Words - 4 Pages

.... in Spain, grew up in the culture, and lived the experience. As an American we are expected “ To put in a full days work for a full days pay” , in some instances from dawn till dusk, with frequent breaks to eat lunch, visit the restroom etc.. but the Spanish have a totally different idea . The Siesta according to the Spanish is a break or authorized work stoppage beginning after lunch and lasts approximately four hours; normally between 1:00 pm- 5:00 pm , with work resuming at 5:00 pm and ending at 9:00 pm.. The idea behind Siesta is to escape the torturous Spanish summer heat during the hottest part of the day. That made perfectly good sense to me, because I was ....


On Love And Hate
657 Words - 3 Pages

.... is our frustration at failure to comprehend. The more we understand something hated, the more our hatred becomes sadness or pity, or deepens to a hatred of that which caused whatever it was that we did not understand. In the latter case, the hatred may increase with understanding, but the object of the hatred has shifted. We are given a wide range of paths for dealing with our hatred, from the altruistic to the reactionary. The altruists, wishing peace without societal discord, tell us to repress our hatred and replace it with love, a path bound eventually for emotive explosion and breakdown. The diametric path gives us a series of smaller explosions with promise ....
