Fitting In
546 Words - 2 Pages

.... out why that person or group rejected them and try to make it better. Being rejected is like someone saying "You do not fit in with us so leave us alone" its a nasty feeling. Some people let others down easy and that is nice of them. Why is it so hard to fit in? There is so much social pressure now that it is getting harder and harder to "fit in". When I say social pressure I mean how to act, look, sound, walk, and so on. Clothes play a very important role in fitting in with the crowd. People say that a first impression is the most important one so people try to make the best first impression by dressing up or showing someone there not. Some people try to stay in fashio ....


The Family Is A Social Institution
534 Words - 2 Pages

.... socialization of children and distribution of good and services. In our society today, other institutions have taken over a part or most of these functions but we have taken a new function- emotional gratification. The more depersonalized our society, the more we depend on our family to provide emotional and intimate ambience to come back to. Our society has moved away from the traditional nuclear families towards extended families, blended families, childless marriages, single parents etc. The key word now is variety where multi-generation households are making a comeback. My views on family and marriage have remained more or less the same since early childhood. I ....

Fingerprinting Kids

.... Massachusetts, Nebraska, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana.) Most of this activity was stimulated by the passage of the Missing Children Act in October 1982. What the new law did was to legitimize the use of the FBI's national computer network,the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for non-criminal purposes. All of the programs are voluntary. In some cases the police departments retain the records, while in others the fingerprint cards are turned over to the parents for safekeeping. The apparent purpose of the program is to help provide positive identification to link either children picked up, or bodies recovered, with miss ....

A test bank from "thousands of managers and professionals in management development programs from 1978 to 1986" was cited as another reason why they believe there are few differences between male and female executives. The tests revealed that executive men and women scored equally on most areas and that executive women are just as capable at leading, influencing, and motivating groups, as well as analyzing problems. The authors go on to show that, despite these similarities, women are disproportionately represented in the ranks of Fortune 500 company executives. ....

Is Television Good Or Bad?
382 Words - 2 Pages

.... many things that cannot be done in the classroom, and often show things that cannot be experienced in the country or area where the school is located. I think that this is an excellent use of television and more use should be made of it in education, because it offers many advantages to classroom teaching. The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people general ....
