.... important than relying on others, and how marriage sometimes characterizes one’s status. What you are taught often defines who you are as an individual. Women during the 18th-century were customarily viewed as objects. They were given only the skills essential to making them more pleasing to others instead of the skills necessary to contend with the other sex. In An Academy for Women by Daniel Defoe, he suggests the draft of a school which would give ladies every opportunity to achieve a higher standard of life. He concludes that by studying history, learning how to read and write, and having knowledge of other cultures is vital to molding a well rounded woman. Wollsto ....

.... warns not to be deceived. God knew that people would think that homosexuality is just a way of life. However, that is not how God made us. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Another passage of Scripture that talks about homosexuality is in Genesis chapter 19. This chapter is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. God could not find but one righteous man in the whole city and He destroyed that city because it was full of wickedness and homosexuals. We as Christians have to take a stand against homosexuality before God destroys our country, too. Homosexuality is not the only thing in this country that isn’t Biblical. Abortion is also against Biblical and Godly values. E ....

.... who should intervene. When I look at what the government has done with regard to the homeless problem, I have to doubt that everything is being done to eradicate it. The United Nations implemented a universal declaration of human rights. Article 25 Section 1 of this declaration states: Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services, and to the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. This is a step ....

.... will feel mor e comfortable and relaxed in this way. The students in grade 8 would probably start to enter into their teen- age years. These teenagers because of curiosity, would have interest in trying to understand the difference between the two se xes, such as life style, interest, etc. Being in the same classroom ev ery day this might not be able to let them concentrate well enough on their studies. Besides the above advantages, studying in a single sex school would also keep attendance problems to a minimum. Boys and girls, being in the same classroom every day would naturally talk about activities aft er school such as going for movies, having a drink in ....

.... to get a good job so he could live well. But he said his parents just didn't have the money and it was impossible. I felt threatened as did Mike and Kim from the drunken gestures of this man and thought to myself, if this man wanted to make something of his life, I mean if he really wanted to, he would try harder and somehow do wh at he wanted. We tried to leave as soon as possible. But then I began reading these essays about the homeless and it started to change my mind. The essay "Virginia's Trap" by Peter Marin especially effected me because of the way it portrays the young woman that has nothing going for her and almost everything against her. I though about this and ....

.... today. We are able to see how blacks are looked upon when we examine a quote from The Runner , a novel by Cynthia Voigt. "If there's one thing I can't tolerate Pete agreed "it's an uppity nigger."2 We can see that Bullet, a cross country runner is talking to a team-mate named Pete. It is indisputable that Pete has some antagonism towards blacks. He treats them with very little respect and uses the racist term "nigger." This helps to justify that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling me ....

.... take it off at night and if the make-up isn't removed, it will clog pores and cause acne. This time could be used more productively by perhaps eating a healthier breakfast, exercising or getting to school earlier to prepare for classes. Liane Faulder of the Edmonton Journal says, "Part of the problem with worrying about how you look is that it drains you of time, money and energy which you could use for other things. Like pursing a career, reproductive rights, or equal pay for work of equal value. Or maybe just having fun." It is also money consuming. Make-up and hair products are expensive. The money used to buy cosmetics and hair styling products could be spent for ....

.... Imprisoned Black Youth Black communities throughout the U.S. are witnessing the institutionalization of their youth. Of course institutionalization is nothing new to Afro-Americans, it is something Blacks have faced since their existence in this country. In the beginning Blacks were forced into the institution of slavery. After the abolition of slavery Blacks faced institutional racism, that is, racism legitimated by the whole of society directed against the few of society. As a facet of that institutional racism Blacks are now forced to persevere the increasing trend of control by the US Criminal Justice System. Control by the USCJS includes the probation, parol ....
