.... is in lower income areas. The focus in a gang of the middle and upper middle class neighborhoods is usually the promise of power over family problems, protection from other gang and problems with a boyfriend or power over insecurities. HOW HATE GROWS When a nazi member wants to recruit new teen age en-Nazis they would stand near a school yard. with their shaved scab and bomber jacket evoking images of a powerful and forbidden gang, this would quickly draw a crowd. Following a carefully drafted plan, he and his comrades burred those coons pnespects deeper into the en-Nazi scene. This group drank, Siam, hunted and shoplifted. For contact sport, they would attack leftists Jewi ....

.... bombs in airplanes, rape, steal, murder, commit numerous other shootings and assaults, and much much more. Over 1,000 cases have proven that media violence can have negative affects on children as well. Media violence on children increases aggressiveness and anti-social behavior, makes them less sensitive to violence, and to victims of violence, and it increases their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life. Media violence is especially damaging to young children, age 8 and under, because they cannot tell the difference between real life and fantasy. Violent images on television and in movies may seem real to these children and sometimes viewing the ....

.... trying to hold her ground, but is becoming outraged, which is possibly her downfall. Even with this case of mass hysteria behind us, there are still issues brought up in our society upon which one can reflect on "The Crucible" and still apply the theme to the modern situation. The beating, or hate crime, committed against Matthew Shepard is one example of this. The brutal thugs who murdered Matthew Shepard simply because of his sexual orientation deserve swift and certain punishment. Their acts are despicable. Unfortunately, a new form of McCarthyism is welling up in the aftermath of this crime, and it is despicable, too. Ignoring the pleas of grieving father Dennis Shepard ....

.... animals in the classroom, animal organizations and hunting. Along with these topics my personal opinion will be stated, before and after researching the topic. The rights of animals have always been important to me during my life. This is due to the fact that I have had a dog for a pet for as long as I remember. On this topic I feel as though having domesticated animals in the home is fine as long as proper care is taken of them. As for more controversial issue like animal research and experimentation my views vary. A few years ago I felt that any research or experimentation on animals was inhumane and unjust. However after maturing and becoming more aware of the world, ....

.... happens regardless of the consequences, even in the nineties. While some women's experiences have been similar to those of black men, their integration into the military has also differed in several ways. Because of our society's fundamental belief that protecting the home and going to war are a man's work, men from minority groups have often been accepted more readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armo ....

.... think about, or don’t care about. Many fast food restaurants are good examples of this. These companies are operated in such a manner that their employees don’t have any pride, or satisfaction in what they are doing. If you have been to a fast food restaurant lately, you can see how that reflects in the service that you get. Another method is to create a distinguished history for a company. This would include how the company was started, who founded it, accomplishments and contributions, and other bits of information that would complement a company. The media happens to be one of the most effective tools. There is a very strong love/hate relationship between c ....

.... share in the mainstream aspirations. Various programs are springing up to help children. However, like the welfare program, for the most part these programs are aimed at alleviating symptoms rather than correcting the cause of the problems. More prisons, more policemen, gun control, the FBI, and V-chips to block violent programs on TV will never stop crime and violence. When we devote time, money and effort toward problems and symptoms -- without correcting the cause -- the problems and symptoms grow and spread like creeping crab grass. But as an individual, what can one do? The answer is simple. All one has to do is love. Love is the solution to all of the social problem ....

.... does that teach the children? Many athletes don't want to be role models, but are forced into it by the media. "Professional athletes should not be role models. Hell, I know drug dealers who can dunk. Can drug dealers be role models too?" Charles Barkley once said about athletes as role models. Athletes are always in the spotlight, whether it's underwear commercials or endorsing french fries. The role models have an undisputed athletic ability, but all too many times they are only a bright red peel on the rotting core of the American role model apple. Since the Greek sport competitions to the latter part of the twentieth century, appropriate behavior, which included achi ....
