Prohibiting Speech That Offends
603 Words - 3 Pages

.... on race, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. That's the wrong response, well-meaning or not. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Speech codes adopted by government financed state colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution. And the ACLU believes that all campuses should adhere to First Amendment principles because academic freedom is a bedrock of education in a free society. No social institution is better suited to fight bigotry than the university. It can do so in its courses and perhaps most importantly through the way it conducts itse ....


Family Values
887 Words - 4 Pages

.... with each other. Unfortunately, my parents were seldom around during my childhood stages. Therefore they were rarely home to guide me through good family values. Now that I am an adult my parents are persistent to spend time with me and teach me values not taught to me when I was a child. I believe it's like teaching an old dog new tricks. A child needs direction from the childhood up to adulthood not the reverse. I recall coming home from school to an empty house. My parents were working to provide us with a home, things we needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song whose lyr ....


The Media And The Fear Of Victimization
325 Words - 2 Pages

.... and demand that something be done. Americans in other words are getting a false representation of the real situation. Politicians who are eager to win votes however take advantage of the situation by pushing punitive measures even though the reality is that crim e figures do not agree with the reports. She also commented on the fact that the media loves to report crimes (34%) of victimization when the victim is a white woman and her is assailant is black. The reality is however that blacks are more often victimized by blacks. The rate of black on white crime is now where near 34%. This predisposes white women to the fear that they will be victimized by a black person, thus ....


Instilling A Child's Values
573 Words - 3 Pages

.... acquisition of good morals. A parent must show the child the virtues of good judgement by using good judgement in their own life. If a child witnesses an unethical act performed by his parents, he will think that it is okay. The fact is that children who didn't have good parents, generally, don't grow up into very respectable adults. The old saying goes: “Monkey see, monkey do.” It may sound like a cheap cliche, but there is a lot of truth to it. While raising a child, a parent might find that sometimes the child is not learning the morals that the parent is trying to instill in their child. In that case, a parent should discipline him. Discipline shows the ....


The X Files: Negative Images Of Races
1050 Words - 4 Pages

.... of some weird events that have happened. They all put the label of "El Chuppecabra" on a man that has a physical problem that he can not control. The Latino official tries to explain this by saying "They need something to live on, they use their myths to have a sense of hope." This puts a false interpretation of these people in the mind of the viewer. The viewer takes this statement and weather he/she knows about it; they associate all Latin Americans to this idea. Thus, Latin Americans are seen as inferior to this person. Another problem with this episode is that the local authorities can't figure out what is going on until the "white" FBI agents come along and "enlighten" ....


Attack On The Tobacco Companies
456 Words - 2 Pages

.... have ignored the issues of smoking for years. Long ago, no one worried about the hazards of smoking like we do today. The cigarette boxes did not always have the health warning on them that they do today. Smoking has been a part of history and is dated back to the Indians. It was not until recently that smokers were aware or were concerned about the risks of smoking. Consequently, people began taking action toward the cigarette companies and the risks of smoking. The cigarette companies began printing the Surgeon General’s warnings on the packages. An action the people have taken against the tobacco companies is law suits. The industry always had such a powerful de ....


Immigration To America
334 Words - 2 Pages

.... Enrique and rosa's case, their immigration was somewhat secretive, but if there was a legal checkpoint along the way as in Ellis island, they could have seen she was sick and taken her to the hospital and saved her life. Immigrants that came through Ellis island usually got jobs earlier and easier. Perhaps because they came to America in a time of great need, of that job offers felt more comfortable because they were legal, trying hard learning English and they had been in America for longer. Maybe it is because Ellis island immigrants didn't live in a time of such great discrimination. No matter who, immigrants came and still come for the same reasons. Coming to Americ ....


An Utopian Society Is Wrong For Our Society
335 Words - 2 Pages

.... great quantities of languages, that would mean all people should speak one language too, that would be very hard to acheive. An additional reason is that there is no uniqueness, things that would usually set people apart don't stand out as much, If you were very intelligent people probably would not bring it up because it would draw attention. If somebody brought attention to somebody smarter then others, people would feel jealous, angry, and not as smart. One last reason is that people get to make their own choices. Something people enjoy in life is getting to choose who they marry, where they live, their job and other things like that. Choices are usually about every ....
