America’s Youth And Today’s Violence
891 Words - 4 Pages.... The media blames high school athletes for the violence in schools. For many youth, their role models are athletes, but for others, athletes are their worst nightmares. In my high school, athletics was everything. Many of the athletes would pick on the little guys or under class men. The athletes at my school were bullies, but to my knowledge no one wanted to come in and shoot an athlete. How many students go into schools and just start shooting and being violent. Most students of today do not promote that type of violence. In fact, many athletes of all levels inspire youth to do better in school, to work as a team, and to try harder to give their all. Some examples o ....

Moral Force Protesting
1421 Words - 6 Pages.... to legally get enough
support for a cause and eventually win by never once using any sort of violence.
In some cases, hunger strikes by the ‘victims' are also done. Aside from well
constructed speeches and hunger strikes, the refusal to obey certain laws and
the passive resistance, that is, resisting to incoming violence usually from the
government, are other ways to morally protest without any physical violence.
Sometimes due to the refusal to abide to certain laws the supporters may find
abusive, the moral force protest supporters might find themselves confronting
the law, and perhaps even acting illegally. In recent years, certain countries
which hadn't previously ....

Gender In Sports
1277 Words - 5 Pages.... Occasionally, one may
find a select number of women who had to fight their way onto the team only to
sit on the sidelines and watch. It is quite probable that such girls are only
able to get onto the teams on the basis that most schools simply do not have a
football team dedicated solely to the women football athletes. This lack of
recognition for female athletes only becomes more frequent as one progresses
through the levels of competition in virtually any sport. The games of women's
teams, where they do exist, tend to draw only limited crowds at most levels of
competition, scholastic or otherwise. In the realm of athletic activities, the
American society has ch ....

Being Young

the age of twenty-one is achieved.
Now, more than ever, fashion seem to dominate the youth's everyday.
Perhaps the reason is that they feel insecure and think that the "right"
clothes will give them a feeling of being accepted by the group. This
phenomen has a negative side. What if a pupil can't afford to buy these
clothes? Will he or she be excluded from the gang? Some schools in various
countries have tried to solve this problem. They have introduced a rule
that allows pupils to go at school only if they are dressed in a specific
school-uniform. But many students don't like these uniforms. They w ....

Anomalies Are Not Always Wrong
1649 Words - 6 Pages.... got his name changed to Christine Jorgensen. By using these accounts, it can be understood that these are not "new" fads, but true dilemmas that have their own history.
Transsexualism and transvestism are variations from society's views of "normal" sexual behavior. These variations of the norm are explained as being disorders and are almost exclusively found in men. Transvestism is the activity of cross-dressing for sexual arousal from that specific object, whether it be clothing, shoes, or what. This can simply be called a fetish. The reasoning behind the few cases reported of female transvestism is explained in the following statement. "The culture apparently permits a gr ....

Women In Africa
2373 Words - 9 Pages.... Sylvia Leith-Ross' African
Women, Jean Allman's "Rounding Up Spinsters: Gender Chaos and Unmarried Women in
Colonial Asante", and Irene Staunton's Mothers of the Revolution, several
questions arise. What were women seeking and how did this differ from what men
wanted? Did women attain their goals, and if not, why not? If women were not
successful in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some of these cases, women were relatively
successful in organizing and mobilizing. The story of the Aba Riots, w ....

The Media
452 Words - 2 Pages.... who you want to feed.
There is also the possibility that the only reason that big news
companies just need filler for their network, so they go to another country to
find some story on miserable people. If I was in some tribe in Africa or
something I would not want anyone bothering me by putting a camera in my face.
I would want the money to buy food, but if someone over in America just needed
my story for filler, I wouldn't be too happy.
It should be the tribe's leader that should have to get the tribe out of
trouble in any way that he could. It is not our business to send them our money
to get food for the people that got themselves into trouble, but I think it
makes p ....
