.... myself to be anything special, certainly never superior to anyone or anything by virtue of my ancestry, just your basic, run- of-the-mill guy who wants to do the right thing. From the time I was little boy, I have seen one particular group called colored, Negro, black, and now, African-American. I can't seem to find a consensus out there in any media, one moment the reference is to blacks, and the next to African-Americans, when they are referring to the same group of people. I'm not knocking what people want to call themselves, it's the mixed messages I'm getting and the inaccuracy of the terminology that frustrates me. Look around and you will see there is the National ....

.... acknowledging our dignity. Even though man was made in the light of god we have abused our liberty since the beginning. Although we knew God we worshiped the creature rather than the creator. But the very dignity of man helps him worship god in the body and forbids it to serve all evil found in his heart. Man judges rightly when he thinks that he is superior to everything else, except God, because of his pure capability to think and reason. In man’s history he has achieved many victories and still he searches for more truths. In the depth of man’s soul he finds a law that he cannot understand and doesn’t know where its from and still this law holds him to search ou ....

.... that without animal experimentation, scientific advancement would not be at the current stage it is at now. This may be true, but boundaries need to be enforced that will keep animals from being exploited and mistreated, and still allow efficient and necessary experiments to continue. When discussing which experiments will be beneficial, the philosophical and ethical aspects must be looked at. Experiments that are felt as necessary and are carried out by scientist should not cause any pain or distress to the animals being used in the experiment. Peter Singer’s “utilitarian”(Singer, pg. 79) view, weighs the pain and distress felt by the animals against the benefit ....

.... to school are common throughout America. Since 1985, more than 28,500 of America's youth have died from gunshot wounds and today, every 90 minutes a child is killed from a firearm( ). Before people used to try to solve their problems with their fists, but now kids use guns as a solution to their problems. Guns are more easily accessible today. Kids can get a gun off the street just as easy as buying candy from a store. " Each year, as many as 225,000 guns are stolen from homes, businesses and vehicles" ( ). Kids carries guns around because they believe that it commands respect from their peers and that no one would try to mess with them. Many crimes committed involves ....

.... control over one’s behavior that is based on internalized standards, such as not talking while class is in session. External social control is an attempt by other to control ones behavior. In both cases of social control it involves sanctions, social reactions to ones behavior. Sanctions can be both positive and negative and are generally reflecting attempts to control the behavior. has been studied for many years and many different points of view. Sociologists Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, and Max Weber all studied from a macrolevel perspective. Emile Durkheim uses the basis he believes is the basis of the social structure, collective consciousness. Collective Consciousn ....

.... distinctly male and others as being distinctly female. We, as men, should be careful not to undervalue women as Dr. Valian says we do. We should hold them as equals and as partners. In doing this, it is necessary to examine some of these differences and to show that though these do exist, neither is superior to the other, and society should strive to reflect this. The first difference that we will examine is the very core that makes us different. That core is biology. In biology, there are two distinct sets of genes: male (XX) and female (XY). Though these are distinctly different, there can already be seen some similarity in the two. Both carry the X chromosome. ....

.... was "NO". Today, although the fashions and music of teenagers has changed, not much has changed with what they can do. When they were younger they had plenty of things they could do and they would even be content with hanging out in the neighborhood with friends. Now that these kids are becoming young adults and are craving their independence it seems as though they are being left out of all of the fun. Here is the jest of the problem, Teenagers are too old to enjoy going to Chuck-E-Cheese and Discovery Zone and places of that nature, and they are too young to get into most of the night clubs and bars legally. To ad insult to injury there really are very few places besi ....

.... very loud or running around. Also when they are in groups they are very loud and take over the area that they occupy. On the other hand when you see Caucasians they are rarely in groups of three or more. To top it off when someone in one of their groups gets in trouble the rest of the group is nowhere to be found. Most times when you see young Caucasian people in a group they are for the most part within a normal speaking level. These two groups tend to act differently in the public due to their cultural differences. There are a number of differences between the churches of African Americans and Caucasians. At most typical African American churches there are no true sermons ....
