.... a name to get recognised by other students as being ‘big' and win respect from them. The two friends were the same age, and strength and didn't want to look bad in front of the other students, so the two friends said a comment back to each other in defence. It started of as a small game, but by the end of the class, it was getting serious. This continued for about 3 weeks, then one day they were in the same class as each other, again throwing comments at each other when one said to the other; "lets take this out side". Everyone around them urged them to fight so after the class that's exactly what they did. Arms were flying everywhere, the other students were shouting a ....

.... is a target of hatred are the blacks. The Ku Klux Klan, otherwise known as the KKK, possess intense hatred for the black race. Their hatred is demonstrated by marching in white cloaks in protest and also by burning the churches and neighborhoods of blacks. Just as Hitler and the KKK express hatred, the Skinheads are yet another group which have strong prejudices. These so called Skinheads abominate most races other than their own. White hooded silhouettes, German Soldiers echoing “Hail Hitler!”, and the infamous Skinheads are harsh reminders of hatred which exists throughout the world. In the same way that prejudices of large groups of people are expressed, hate ....

.... to this widespread laziness. First of all, most homeless people spend their days hunting through trash cans and dumpsters for a piece of sustenance or at least something of value. If they're not doing that, they're begging for spare change on street corners. Eventually, one would think that they should be able to afford a couple of respectable suits or other outfits to wear while applying and even working for this job of theirs. All they have to do is poke around a little longer or beg a little more, and that job would be theirs to enjoy. Keeping these articles of clothing clean would be difficult, but manageable. If you can't afford a coin operated laundromat ....

.... Thoreau: "Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations... Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind." I believe that if one chooses to enrich their mind and strive for knowledge that they are truly wealthy. Wealth is the ability to enrich and influence. With knowledge one can do these things. Wealth is not taking things for granted. In many ways knowledge can help you achieve success. With knowledge one can look into the past and see the mistakes that others have made. The person with knowledge will not repeat ....

.... from wrong, of instilling in them respect for others. We each have a responsibility to work to end youth violence and to keep schools safe for children and for those who teach them. Youth violence in many schools has reached universal proportions. It is not only happening in our high schools, it has also made its way into our elementary and middle schools. Everyone seems to have a different perspective on why there is such a problem with school safety. Some say it is the parents’ fault, some say it is the media, and others blame the schools. Yet, the question still remains. What can be done to make schools safer for the children and staff? One thing we need to do is learn t ....

.... 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 in the ....

.... but really they are just hiding behind the big words. Also, when small vocabulary is used then the person can’t think well, or just think of small thoughts. As the vocabulary shrinks so does the intelligence. I agree with the article, the vocabulary is being abused and is being used badly. I can relate to a situation that was explained in the article, the number of hours I spend watching television. I enjoy watching television; it’s an entertainment for me when I’m bored. I spend about five hours watching television, while I’m eating, doing my homework and talking on the phone. This is an example how I rather spend my time watching at a screen with pict ....

.... for survival, falls radically behind that of the community. Galbraith believes that poverty stricken individuals are degraded because they live outside the grades, which the community regards as acceptable. An example of this can be found in Great Falls, MT at the government-housing complex. I have heard the residents labeled as poverty stricken poor, lazy, shady characters and bums among other things. As long as an individual resides in the “project: they will continue to be labeled by most citizens, others may resent them for costing tax payers money to house and feed them. One classmate voiced her opinion on poverty and how it was a rut that can not be overc ....
