.... good or bad, culminated in one big war, the American Civil War. During this period, the slaves really tried to break free from their past stereotypes. A small percentage of them taught themselves to read and write and they began to teach others. Some blacks even fought in the Civil War. The most educated were selected and several black units were formed. Once the North had defeated the South in the war, the slaves were freed from bondage, however, that did not mean that they would be free from the terrible prejudice that still permeated the country. Schools sprang up in all black areas but were not given the public funding that they needed and deserved. They were usually ....

.... web site, it appears they are based in Hawaii, which is also where most of their concern lies, and activities take place. Upon entering the site, one is first presented with their mission statement: "Our mission is to assist you in putting an end to environmental injustice by way of investigating and exposing environmental degradation, habitat destruction, poaching, clear cutting, pollution, animal cruelty, and government waste and abuse." To the right of the page is a picture of a bird staring forward and underneath that in caps "WE ARE WATCHING". After reading this one gets a true sense that EnviroWatch is looking out for the environment, almost like earth-friendly de ....

.... Without Excuse.” It discusses how elementary education is being deprived that when the student is ready to move on to higher learning in a college setting, he or she is not ready. Its not in high school, neither is it in middle school that students are suppose to learn the basics to better study habits. Its elementary school that students are to be taught skills in memorization, writing, and better studying. Secondary schools are there only to reinforce what has already been learned and take on a path to higher education. Effective Learning 1501 reinforces our basics and teaches us better study habits that will be helpful in the future. Studies conducted by the Univer ....

.... that most women feel that sexual harassment is the norm and not the exception." For me personally, I cannot believe that this is accepted by women. Women need to stop being so weak. We have to stand up and take action. This is not acceptable! Most women have male bosses. If they are harassed they tend not to report it, for they are scared to lose their jobs. Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual advances, comments or requests that make one feel uncomfortable. "Sexual contact or threat of sexual contact or coercion for the purpose of sexual contact which is not freely entered into a mutually agreeable to both parties." It is difficult to know what ones percept ....

.... The violation of a boundary can have serious consequences. For instance, a gang uses visual stimuli such as graffiti to illustrate a marked territory. The unreadable words to the average person mean nothing. A rival gang member may ignore these symbols of territory and hence, put their life in jeopardy. Territory is not just environmental, but it is also bodily. A person creates an imaginary bubble around them. This is considered their personal space. Some people are allowed into the bubble while strangers usually must stay outside. The bubble varies from culture to culture. A person in Europe will stand closer to a friend than an American would. The odd feeling ....

.... many things that cannot be done in the classroom, and often show things that cannot be experienced in the country or area where the school is located. I think that this is an excellent use of television and more use should be made of it in education, because it offers many advantages to classroom teaching. The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people generall ....

.... to get attention. But for others, like Rachel, it's a way of expressing themselves. Despite the reasons for dressing the way they do, Goths still do not deserve to be judged. It's not right to do that to anyone. As a very young teen, Rachel always liked looking at and up to the "freaks" or "Goths." It was then she decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was thirteen she began to dress in "black" and it made her realize that she was expressing herself more than she ever had before. Rachel also likes dressing this way because it "gives [her] a certain thrill and satisfaction with [herself]." Today, Rachel's reasons for dressing the way she does are still the sa ....

.... to complete along with the regular work requirements. A boss can be considered to be mean or uncaring when all the boss may want to do is have everyone do there best. Phil just wants the store to look nice, but he sometimes doesn’t understand how hard the tasks are for one person. He sometimes doesn’t realize if he was more helpful the store might look better than it does. Many times the most liked boss is the most helpful boss. When a boss gives demands or requests that need to be met then he helps the employees, it usually makes them more productive. For example, another of my bosses, Marty, understands when there are so many things that need to be done an ....
