.... to how the past really was. In the mid 1920's the so-called broads weren't all they seem to be. Even though it may be hard to believe, the obedience and politeness wasn't too common. Their behavior and actions definitely do not portray the typical image of a young lady. In the early 1920's, the women, dressing respectively did not show skin. The most common clothes were once stated as being, "High necked jumpers of all tints and textures."1 This peaceful figure didn't exist for too long. Eventually, teenagers got bored and wanted to have fun. "It is the effect of the war,"2 was also a frequently used excuse. Since wars influencing the parents distracted them fr ....

.... America. From the days of Thomas Jefferson, to modern society today, happiness, it seems, is a right, a dream and perhaps a gift of all who choose to pursue it, and pursuing it is exactly what everyone needs to do. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abol ....

.... and is usually politically motivated. (Terrorism 3) Our fight against terrorism became something the terrorists might fear in 1970, at the Hague Convention. This United Nations convention basically defined . ..hijacking as a crime and required contracting states either to allow the extradition of hijackers to their country of origin, or to prosecute them in the state where they were arrested. (The Terrorists 146) Atkins states that one of the reasons it took so long to do anything about terrorism is that it is so hard to define, and therefore just as hard to enforce. He also says Declarations and conventions from the UN have lacked effective enforcement mechanisms ....

.... principles and participation in the international market. The US government is trying to institutionalize and strengthen is dialogue with the Japanese government and to enhance the dialogue between the two private sectors. There are many institutions involved in the governmental side of the dialogue, and just about every aspect of the economic relationship is covered. A key problem today is the false thinking that the Japanese market is a closed one. Many Americans seem to feel that if the Japanese market is not like the US market, then it must be unfair. The Japanese have clearly perceived their national interest in trade terms and have organized themselves and dis ....

.... all, most teens become attracted to gangs by peer pressure and greed. Estimamates show that forty percent of all gang members joined because their friends influenced them (Solution for a new year 1996). Teen gangsters will pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making it sound glamorous. Recruiters will often promise popularity in exchange for their loyalty. Although most gang members find popularity, it often means losing close friends to rival gangs. Another crucial factor is the need for money. A 6 year old kid, who is not yet a member, receives impressions that he or she could make $200 to $400 for a small gang job. In August of 1996, an eleven year old Compto ....

.... considered, male-only jobs. Fields such as teaching, preaching, medicine, and law were all jobs domenated by men. Women had made some progress in the work force before the 1850's. In the mid nineteenth century women were the majority for grade school teachers, up from the ten percent of elementary teachers, that were teachers in the colonial period. This can be largely attributed not to the fact that men were more accepting of the idea that women belonged in the work place, but rather men were drown to the higher paying and more socially appreciated managerial jobs brought on by the industrial revolution. School boards did not mind these talented leaving because they c ....

.... woman, usually another man's wife. Veneration for the Virgin Mary played a part in this concept. Chivalric ideals influenced the founding of religious military orders during the period of the Crusades, among them the Templars and the Hospitalers, the Teutonic Knights, and the Spanish orders of Alcantara, Calatrava, and Santiago. In the late Middle Ages, rulers formed secular orders of chivalry such as the English Order of the Garter and the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time, however, chivalry had become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in which knights had originally risked their lives in jousting combat before the ladies, became simply ....

.... formal education, his focus and life’s work was dedicated to that which fascinated him most: the search for the understanding of all through introspection. In his widely-read essay, “Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking Truth in the Science,” more commonly and more conveniently known as “Discourse on Method,” Descartes describes his task as such: “as soon as my age permitted me to pass from under the control of my instructors, I entirely abandoned the study of letters and resolved no longer to seek any other science than the knowledge of myself, or of the great book of the world”(16). The knowledge of oneself, and of his ....
