.... these groups have formed the illusion that they deserve special privileges in a lot of cases. I think that this is because they are very sensitive to there being discriminated against. It is also my opinion that not as much discrimination occurs as they imagine. Sometimes I hear an African American insisting on not being referred to as "Black" but in the same sentence accusing "Whites" of referring to them asa blacks. We "Whites" really don't think much of that statement because in all honesty we are not intimidated by these groups, and with good reason. There is no direct harm in this attitude that minority groups display in America, but in my opinion if we cont ....

.... they want to perform or not. They are captured and forced to do what their instructors tell them which causes the animals to live a unnatural and uncomfortable lifestyle. According to Alison Greene, who has fought for circus animals for twenty-five years, “ there are no kind animal trainers.” (Greene). Thus, circuses should not have the right to use animals for entertainment. There is a high amount of abuse that lies behind the performance of circus animals. Not only is there physical abuse, but also mental. Maclean’s Magazine finds that Veterinarian Ken Langlier becomes disgusted with the treatment of animals in the circus. “What he sees in circuses often si ....

.... needs it to get a halfway descent life today. Technology will be the most important in the future because it could be the answer to most of our problems. The single word that most Americans know and sometimes fear is WAR. It hurts, maims, and kills millions of Americans. And why are wars started? Because some power hungry dictator wants more space, money or natural recourses. I think that a lot of the wars that we have had in countries could have been prevented. Especially with all the new technology we have today. Back when it was George Washington leading his troops there probably wasn’t anything that could have stopped that. I think most of the violence in wars ....

.... of intense work, yet knowledge learned within High School can make learning new material easier for you. Other people often find themselves getting sidetracked once they put off the option to attend college, that can only hinder your ability to eventually become a college graduate. College can be a fun experience if shared with friends and people of similar age. By waiting an extra year or two, you will find it more uncomfortable within your classes. The entire college experience involves parties, football games, and drinking beer with your buddies as well as an education. As you get into the entire experience and enjoy college, you will understand and appreciate wh ....

.... black women vital instruction in child care and in skills of a being a homemaker. Lillian Wald, a daughter of Jewish immigrants from New York City, began a visiting- nurse service to reach those too poor to pay for doctors and hospitals. Her Henry Street Settlement offered a host of vital services for immigrants and the poor. Wald suggested the formation of a Federal Children's Bureau. By the end of the 19th century, many women reformers focused on the need for state laws to restrict child labor. Young children from poor families had to work late hours in mines and mills and were exploited by plant managers. No state laws prevented the chi ....

.... defines their identity and intentions in society. I was brought up by loving parents that among others things taught me to be true to my feelings and to express them truthfully. Jean-Jacues Rousseau's theory about corruption relates to the "clean slate" idea. He stated that corruption come from society. So if one is not influenced positively they may end up corrupt and be a hindrance on society. If a child grows up in a "dysfunctional family" they may be at a disadvantage to a child like my brother who is getting the same social education from my parents and the society we live in. Charles Harton Cooley also touched on the idea of identities. He believed that identities ar ....

.... boys were still on trial. The boys had a new life when the police arrested them. After they were acquitted their reputations were ruined. They probably couldn't get a job anywhere. Another sign that there was racism prominent in America, the land of the free, is that the African-Americans had to sit in the back of the bus when there weren't even any white people on the bus. Rosa Parks was even arrested because she wouldn't give up her seat to a white person. She was in jail, but a year later a judge ruled against segregation. One other proof of racism is segregation in school. Almost every white school had new books and lots of luxuries the black students could only ....

.... Almost everyone has experienced some aspect of being involved with a bureaucracy in settings such as schools, colleges, religion, and the workplace. The sociologist Max Weber characterized bureaucracies as rationally created formal organizations that dominate modern societies, have hierarchical level of control, and are based on specific rules of procedure. Weber recognized that bureaucracies existed in preindustrial societies such as ancient Egypt, ancient China, and in the Roman and Byzantine empires. It was not until recently, however, with the emergence of large societies based on complex technologies, that bureaucracies come to permeate people’s daily lives. ....
