.... with decisions of right and wrong, most of which are easily and correctly dealt with. Sometimes however, decisions need to be made that are not easy or clear-cut. They require thought and often prayer. I like to draw on past experience to make comparisons that help give insight to new problems. Many times, however past experiences cannot be related to present problems and can confuse and obscure possibilities. Even the opinions or actions of friends faced with similar dilemmas may not be helpful. Often you feel pressured by piers that say, "it's no big deal", or "you'll understand later". It's important that I understand why a particular action or resolution is correct ....

.... fruitier. Being stupid can annoy even the most sensitive people. If one acts stupid, and does it in the wrong crowd, like a group of adults, it will seem more immature than funny. If one is forced to act stupid while dealing with lower life forms, for example, high school teachers, one may encounter barriers such as cruelty and insensitivity, with the utterance of statements like, "Think with your head straight!" or, "You have a brain, use it." Yet these are all true, there are still many advantages to stupidity. The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid people are never asked to do a lot. Many have noticed that people tend to steer away from someone the ....

.... because of this, the southern whites were able to do what they pleased. Consequently, they then passed the black codes. The black codes were laws that took away black’s privileges. An economic privilege taken away from the blacks was their right to vote. Without the black’s rights, they were kept enslaved because they were not able to do anything and had to depend on the whites. They were now dependent on the white southerners because they had no land and couldn’t vote to do anything about the land they lost. They had to depend on the whites for survival. Later, the Radical Republicans became a major part of the Congress and passed the Freedman’s Bureau, and the 13th ....

.... wisdom asserts that the United States is witnessing a significant expansion of its urban underclass, that chronically poor percentage of the population inhabiting Americas central cities. Among the trends cited: An inevitable rise in the percentage of teen agers who are unmarried mothers, exploding welfare rolls, and legions of high school dropouts consigned forever to joblessness. Yet none of these perceptions is true, according to a new Brookings book, The Urban Underclass. Edited by Christopher Jencks of Northwestern University and Paul E. Peterson of Harvard, this set of essays attempts to separate the truth about poverty, social dislocation and changes in Americ ....

.... government inefficient. Everyone have to suffer from it because all this money come from the tax. Using different languages also breaks the unity of our society. People are separated by what kind of language they speak; for example, people who speak only Chinese will live in China Town. Those people also tend to hang around with the same kind of people, those who speak Chinese. There is no communiaction between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same culture, habit and language. The harmony of the whole society is going to break. Development and growth of our socie ....

.... used when defining the group. These are things such as race, religion, sex, social class, and so on. When a sociologist studies behavior the most important aspect they view is the interaction of people both within the group and with people that fit into other groups. This action can be what the individuals verbally say to one another or simply their nonverbal messages. There are many hand signs, both good and bad, that people exchange as well as facial expressions in reaction to an event or statement. Now that I have some of the terms described lets look at an example. I hate lawyers. This is a personal opinion of mine and a lot of other peoples. Its nothing person ....

.... and cleaning- up. The family interaction is video-taped and later analyzed. The researchers have developed a system which allows them to record the effectiveness of parenting skills. They are particularly interested in disciplinary strategies because abuse most commonly occurs when the parent wants the child to comply. "It's a question of trying to determine which type of parent produces which type of child or which type of child elicits which type of parental behaviour," explains Oldershaw. As a result of their work, Walters and Oldershaw have identified distinct categories of abusive parents and their children. 'Harsh/intrusive ....

.... known, and as such, denial gives one time to discover inner strengths and obtain help and information from others. Denial can be helpful way of dealing with a death without it having to hit you full in the face. In addition to or apart from denial, many people also tend to deal with great anxiety. Anxiety mobilizes and focuses energies needed for coping and changing attitudes and values. For the most part, one does not suffer from over-anxiety for too long and as a result, people rarely become trapped in a maelstrom of anxiety long enough to do any personal damage to themselves. That is not the case with depression. Depression over loss can be a serious problem. In a ....
