Feminists
569 Words - 3 Pages

.... The problem I have with her article is the image that she and other contemporary activists are coveying to the rest of society. When I think of a feminist two pictures come into mind. The first, which maybe a little outdated is a women like Susan B. Anthony, someone fighting for real issues that matter. The second is of a women like the author above, someone who is extreme just to be extreme. To my disappointment it seems the later is becoming more prevalent within society. After reading the article I scrolled down the page to where it listed "more feminist links", the five that were given consisted of; three lesbian rights pages, and two "neo-feminist pages". Thinking th ....


The American Dream/Promise
357 Words - 2 Pages

.... salad. When people started migrating to America many years ago, this country was known as a melting pot. People didn’t always mix very well, as they all had come from different cultures and had many cultural differences and also just many different lifestyles. If this country were a melting pot with immigrants from all over bringing over their culture, this country would be very difficult to live in. You could have people like the bushmen living right next door to upper class Americans that just don’t want people who walk around pretty much nude right next to them. That then has people of different groups striving for their cultural identity to be shown because they ....


A Jew In Germany Or Occupied Europe:
1729 Words - 7 Pages

.... letter from my sister Erika, who lives in Germany. She too followed the family tradition and set up her own shop in Germany with her husband, but in this letter she seems to be very distressed and worried. She says that life has started to become very difficult since 1933. There has been a new ruling body installed in Germany called NAZI and according to her newspapers it is led by a hero, who has come to save Germany; Adolf Hitler. These Nazis oppose our jewish religion greatly; nearly everybody does, but this is a new strain of hatred that I have no seen before. In letter she states that some new anti-semitic rules called "The Nuremburg Laws" came into effect just this mon ....


Homeless Youths
714 Words - 3 Pages

.... with their entire family or who share a room with many other children lack privacy and have limited space for physical activity. As a result, they tend to become withdrawn or aggressive. Some may be unable to do homework because of the noisy environment, the lack of private space, and the presence of other children in the same room. Children who frequently change schools lack both structure and continuity in their lives, and may be unwilling to risk forming deep friendships. They experience depression as a result of leaving familiar places and people, and may fall behind academically as they miss school. Children who have to keep moving have no sense of roots, personal ....


Won't Libertarian Socialism Destroy Individuality?
4667 Words - 17 Pages

.... of our time." [Op. Cit., p. 28] In effect, modern capitalism has reduced individuality to a parody of what it could be (see section I.7.4). As Affie Kohn points out, "our miserable individuality is screwed to the back of our cars in the form of personalized license plates." So we see a system which is apparently based on "egoism" and "individuality" but whose members are free to expand as standardized individuals, who hardly express their individuality at all. Far from increasing individuality, capitalism standardizes it and so restricts it - that it survives at all is more an expression of the strength of humanity than any benefits of the capitalist system. This impoverish ....


Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis Breakdown
1024 Words - 4 Pages

.... of the group. In my own words the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is stated as a world or culture being set around a language, all societies are distinct in their own ways. An easier way to understand it is of thinking of two different terms, linguistic determinism, our thinking is determined by language and by linguistic relativity, people who speak different language, perceive and think about the world quite differently. To help you get a better understanding of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis you’ll need a few examples. My father came to America to go to college in 1966. He had grown up in Malaysia with their culture and language. My father grew up as a bilingual speaker, k ....


Protection From Abuse And Neglect
1129 Words - 5 Pages

.... scale association is to inform children through first-hand knowledge and example on the protection from abuse and neglect. The substantive right is very important for children to know and understand in case they, or someone they know is ever involved in an abusive situation. The small scale association is limited to children so they can feel free to express their experiences and ask questions openly to others without having to worry about adult supervision. This may interest children to comment on situations and on general conversation that they normally would be scared to ask their parents. I feel that this is relevant to children in today's society because these situ ....


The Ku Klux Klan
897 Words - 4 Pages

.... and Blacks whom they considered traitors to their cause. The original Klan, which is not to be confused with the groups calling themselves by that name today, was organized in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the winter of 1865 to 1866, by six former Confederate army officers who gave their society a name adapted from the Greek word kuklos ("circle"). Its activities were directed against the Reconstruction governments and their leaders, both black and white, which came into power in the southern states in 1867. Dressed in robes with pointed hoods, for disguise and in an early attempt to frighten superstitious Blacks, the Klan launched a campaign of terrorism and violence against W ....
