.... as books, computers, and even teachers are hard to find. And once found, they are hard to hang on to. Chicago's Du Sabre High School cannot even hire a teacher and be sure they will last past the first few days. Funding for a school such as Du Sabre almost does not exist. They do not even have money to build a school that does not endanger the safety of the children. The classrooms are too full, and most of the time the teachers don't care enough to teach the children the basic rules of life. In 1989, the average amount spent on Chicago schools in the lower income cities only topped $9,000. In contrast, New Trier High, located on the outskirts of Chicago, offers stat ....

.... The problem I have with her article is the image that she and other contemporary activists are coveying to the rest of society. When I think of a feminist two pictures come into mind. The first, which maybe a little outdated is a women like Susan B. Anthony, someone fighting for real issues that matter. The second is of a women like the author above, someone who is extreme just to be extreme. To my disappointment it seems the later is becoming more prevalent within society. After reading the article I scrolled down the page to where it listed "more feminist links", the five that were given consisted of; three lesbian rights pages, and two "neo-feminist pages". Thinking t ....

.... in sex or race should not make them competitors. All races are created equal and should have the same rights. No one group of people should be favored more if everyone is created the same, and by law have the same rights and freedoms. No one person has more rights than another. No matter what is an individuals color, size, intellect, lifestyle, religion or ethnicity, he or she has the same rights as the next person. Affirmative action was created 30 years ago for the cure of the underuse of minority and female and humane resources in the workplace. Affirmative action refers to active measures and passive non-discrimination as a means of increasing the recruitment ....

.... on the first of November. People put offerings out for the dead in the form of fruit and certain other things that the specific person liked. The day of the dead is not a day grief nor does it have to do with anything tragic for the Spanish speaking world, actually it is a day of joy and happiness. It is celebrated all over. People wear bright colors and masks as well as elaborate clothing. People can even make a business by selling things associated with death, some of these things can include candy skulls and paper- mache masks which later were made out of plastic. There is actually two days that are celebrated with death. There is one for children and one for all t ....

.... partial, and perhaps even flawed remedy for past and continuing discrimination against historically marginalized and disenfranchised groups in American society. Working as it should, it affords groups greater equality of opportunity in a social context marked by substantial inequalities and structural forces that impede a fair assessment of their capabilities. Perhaps the biggest complaint that one hears about affirmative action policies aimed at helping Black Americans is that they violate the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and the Civil Rights laws., The claim is that these programs distort what is now a level playing field and bestow preferential treatmen ....

.... right now for “Herbal Essence” shampoo and conditioner that shows a woman and a man in the bathroom of an airplane washing their hair, but at first you do not know they are doing that. Instead all you hear are moans and groans coming from the back of the plane, insinuating something other than what is really going on, but there have not been any complaints about this ad, especially when at the end a voice says, “It’s organic!” meaning orgasmic. However, there has always been the controversy about Calvin Klein ads in magazines and on television. In the past, there was a big controversy that centered around the ages of the unprofessional models and the sugge ....

.... he feels he lost all or most of his Mexican culture and closeness with his parents by giving up Spanish--his native language. Rodriguez feels that bilingual education is wrong because using a family language in school “...misunderstand(s) the public uses of schooling and...trivialize(s) the nature of intimate life” (225). In his essay, “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood”, Rodriguez applies many rhetorical features to build an effective essay with a strong point: children should learn a “public” language in school, not only to increase their educational prowess but also to gain acceptance in society. Rodriguez builds ethos by describing his chil ....

.... children in a rear­facing child seat. The back of this seat sits very close to the dashboard and will come into a deadly contact with the air bag in a crash. Even older children who have outgrown child safety seats are at risk from a deploying air bag (Airbags and Seat Belts). If they are properly restrained by lap and shoulder belts, they still face the risk. Airbags could seriously injure or even kill an unbuckled child who is sitting too close to the air bag or who is thrown toward the dash during emergency braking or a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified 86 crashes where the deployment of the passenger air bag resulted in fatal hea ....
