.... multiracial democracy?” Is such a democracy possible? Or will our differences always come between us? Looking around today it might seem a little odd for Clinton to call for racial healing. “For now, no cities are burning. No divisive events like the O.J. Simpson trial are preoccupying Americans. Among African-Americans overall, income, life expectancy and employment have been rising.” A Gallup poll released in early June showed that 74% of the black respondents said they were satisfied with the way things were going in their personal lives and also with their standard of living. Among whites, levels of acceptance and tolerance are unprecedented. For examp ....

.... debate has been a major concern throughout history. Similarly, the provision of financial assistance to the able-bodied working-age poor has always been controversial. On one side are those who articulate the feelings and views of the poor, namely, the Permissive Position, who see them as victims of our society and deserving of community support. The problems of the poor range from personal (abandonment or death of the family income earner) to the social (racial prejudice in the job market) and economic (collapse in the market demand for their often limited skills due to an economic recession or shift in technology). The Permissive View reveals that all participan ....

.... decide that I was fat, wouldn¹t be very fast, or be very good and not choose me. In fact, I play hard and am fairly good at several sports. I feel like I can make a strong contribution to a team, and am hurt when captains don¹t want me on their teams. In fact, there have been times when I have gotten on a team and done well. Then sometimes the kids that I have played with will choose me to be on their team again and the fat prejudice is broken. Because I have experience prejudice myself, and have been hurt by it, I try to avoid treating other people that way. Especially in sports, I try to give everyone a chance to prove themselves. Being the object of prejudice was ....

.... values, which can be, as I already said, good or bad. On the other hand, being so many types of human beings, it is normal to be different kinds of perception and interpretation of information. Therefore, having many people who can interpret things in different ways, it is difficult for somebody to say what is good or bad, and in the same time to have his opinion shared by everyone. Trying to classify, we might come up with a result that might be true or not, depending on the point of view. In other words everything is relative. Paradoxically, when we start thinking we, we discover that we actually know almost nothing, or that there are many things left, to be kno ....

.... Eva was born illegitimate in a small remote town of Argentina, and spent most of her childhood life under a cloud of illegitimacy. Besides being poor, Eva and her sisters were regarded as bastard children , and for this reason, they were Alooked upon as >brats= and often prevented from associating with the other children of thevillage. This sense of rejection and the ridicules that young Eva and her family received from the other villagers, formed the basis of her hatred of Argentinas middle and upper classes@ (19). Eva grew up to be an intelligent, beautiful, and glamorous teen-ager, who attracted many men=s attention. Aside from her good looks, Eva had the charm th ....

.... pist off!?", the first boy retaliated. "Just shove off and let me be," Jimmy answered. It is like this everyday, everywhere, and everytime, people suffer discrimination. All because they have differences amongst each other. Different beliefs, different cultures, different skin colour, all of these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism. Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each and every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbo ....

.... of truth in this case should be the leaving out of any false statements used in an effort to deceive, and all relevant information, the good and the bad, must be included in the statement. The evidence and reasoning supporting the claim [must be] clear, accurate, relevant, and sufficient in quantity. Advertisers assume that we have the rationality to make decisions based on the information we are given, but how can we possibly make a rational decision when much of the information is left out? Or when the information given are exaggerations or downright lies? Advertisers should also provide the greatest good to the most people, not just the greatest number of products sol ....

.... nineties with Betty Friedan’s, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall’s in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father ....
