.... think racist joke are harmless than you should take a reality check. Racist jokes are just the start of it. Many people think the jokes are funny. Maybe they are, but they still hurt the people the jokes are about. Some of the worst racists are the ones who think that they are not racist and really are. They really have to come to grips with reality. Why are they some the worst racists? They are, because they can't comprehend what is happening. They don't realize what they are saying and doing are racist. Until they come to grips with it there is no problem. No problem, in their minds. They say that they aren't racist, even when they don't hire the East Indian employee wh ....

.... No one deserves the car more, so there should be equal amounts of use. Another place where injustices occur is at school. Budging in the lunch-line, pop quizzes, homework, detentions, and cheating are just a few of the complaints that occur at school. Budging, whether in the lunch-line or the bathroom line, is completely unfair. (Unless, of course, you're the person budging.) A line is formed as a way to make everyone wait the same. The whole system is ruined if someone budges. Budging is rarely caught, but when it is, the punishment is severe. The person who budged usually has to go to the end of the line. The only problem with this is that people aren't caught oft ....

.... Gentleman is a key word in this sentence because duels have been around since the beginning of time, but the art of a class structure has not. The type of class duels came into a home in Ireland in the middle of the seventeenth century. It was recorded by a judge of the high courts that there were "two hundred twenty-seven memorable and official duels fought in his administration" (Cochran 14). The judge, Sir Jonah Barrington, served from seventeen fifty-seven until seventeen ninety-one. It was an understanding to the Irish people that a young man was not an adult or educated until he had had a duel with one of his colleagues (Cochran 14-15). in the South and Ir ....

.... upon there nation to commit acts of murder. While this is personal to the leaders and this may mean something to them, the military that they have do the killing for them are merely tools in a game. This is very impersonal for the people in battle. They are just told to kill, shoot, or bomb, complete strangers. While the stranger, their opponent, has no personal aggression towards them. This is an act of violence. True aggression involves disputes between individual rivals. The primary function of the aggressive acts is to intimidate and dominate these rivals.

.... to find. Why is that? Could it be because Generation X describes us, me, everyone who was born between the years of 1963-1983 as "white and privileged and living in a suburb near you" (Giles, p4). In addition, Advertising Age referred to Generation X'ers as "That cynical, purple-haired blob watching TV." (Giles, p2) What makes our generation so special, is that we have proven them all wrong. Generation X consists of those between the ages 13 and 33 years of age. We as a group have become the productive, interested, and hardworking individuals that we are today. We have grown to realize that the future's undiscovered country is awaiting our arrival, ....

An increasingly self-confident opposition movement argues that the battle to guarantee equal rights for all citizens has been fought and won – and that favoring members of one group over another simply goes against the ideals this very country was founded on. However defenders of affirmative action say that the playing fields are not leveled yet. Meaning that granting modest advantages to minorities and women is more than fair, given hundreds of years of discrimination that benefited whites and men. No issue is more controversial or affects more citizens and no progra ....
