.... today. We are able to see how blacks are looked upon when we examine a quote from The Runner , a novel by Cynthia Voigt. "If there's one thing I can't tolerate Pete agreed "it's an uppity nigger."2 We can see that Bullet, a cross country runner is talking to a team-mate named Pete. It is indisputable that Pete has some antagonism towards blacks. He treats them with very little respect and uses the racist term "nigger." This helps to justify that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling ....

.... family is based, therefore to help the family why not foster these religious ideals? (And while we're at it, why not make a contribution to the two billion dollar tax-free Christian Broadcasting Network?) The manifest function here of religion is to provide people with a unifying belief that will scare kids into behaving so they do not go to Hell. The latent function is that it is a slap in the face to every Easterner who has conducted themselves in a productive and positive manner. Many of the Christian right I am sure do not realize how offensive the notion is that Christianity is the only faith to recognize that killing and stealing are bad. What exactly are the "nor ....

.... of her torso through gossamer fabric-can become a powerful sexual stimulus for a man. Certainly, the visual sense always has and probably always will play a major role in men's sexual responsiveness" (Brooks 439). Where women are touched more by emotions because that's their nature obviously doesn't offend men, so why should we as men apologize for following our natural animal drives? The female body is without a doubt a marvel to behold. The curves, the build, and the fact that there is just so much variety is unreal. I believe that anyone who says that the first impression they get of a person isn't collected from a visual standpoint has to be lying. No matter h ....

.... in it. According to Sigmund Freud, “a powerful measure of desire for aggression has to be reckoned as part of their (man’s) instinctual endowment.” Man needs to practice violence and do it at the expense of others. Rene Girard states that, “violence is not to be denied, but it can be directed to another object, something it can sink its teeth into.” By analyzing these two new theories on violence, along with Paul Tough’s article, one can develop a whole new attitude violence’s relation with the mosh pit. Rene Girard explains that it is only human nature to act in violence during the course of his life. Girard also states that people use this anger in ot ....

.... Internet. Presidents who are constantly reminded of their power and prestigious rank, become exasperated because they cannot control the news media, even though they can to a large degree set the news agenda. Media has expanded in its presence, becoming widespread on the Internet, perhaps monopolizing the domain, by becoming more powerful and more used than written, televised or radio journalism. The Presidents' inability to control the press exposes their vulnerability and tends to question the actual power they can actually exert. All presidents, at some time or another, became frustrated at what they perceived as unfair treatment by the press, even while acknowledging its ....

.... or not. Mothers are strong individuals with big hearts. No matter what the choice is, her family will still respect her for her choice. Working and raising a child is the best choice for a mother. Mothers who work, have less problems. For one this means there are two incomes in the family and it also helps with the pride of the mother. Another issue faced is the way a mother may feel about a child going to a child care, in the long run she knows it is the best. Mothers can find guidance if they are not able to find the steps of how to deal with continuing to work. Mothers also know how important it is, even if they work, to show love and want to be around their child(r ....

.... that talk shows are nothing but trash and a big waist of time. For the most part I would have to agree with Bennett in that the talk shows are mostly trash, but that is why I think we watch them. Bennett believes in old time values that if you can’t see it, it won’t happen. He comes form the past on his point of view with a “shhh” don’t tell attitude. This is why Bennett wants to abolish daytime television altogether. Bennett claims that daytime TV is the problem in our society today. Children are watching and learning the immoral truths of today’s society. But ask yourself where are those children’s parents? Bennett wants to eliminate the talk shows ....

.... to a private school or even the means to move into a neighborhood where their youth can have the opportunity to attend a "better" school. Yet, those that live in low socioeconomic status areas are not going to have the same opportunity to do either of these tactics. Upper and middle class parents not only can promote their children to end up in the same place as where they are at but can provide the option for an even better education or higher possibility of achieving even more then they themselves have achieved. For example, in the inner city of L.A. the youth that attend the schools are at more of a loss because of outside sources. These could include thing like ....
