... publish both a morning and an evening edition, with total circulation of more than 40 million copies per day (Cooper-Chen, 1997, p. 53). Of the world’s ten highest daily circulation newspapers, the top three are Japanese, with the fourth highest having a circulation of just over one-third of the circulation of the Yomiuri Shimbun (The United States is not represented in this list) (Cooper-Chen, 1997, p. 54). It is not surprising that Japan has the highest ratio of newspapers to people in the world, with 578 copies per day for every 1000 people (Cooper-Chen, 1997, p. 52). Local newspapers are smaller than the ...

... histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, and fitting nuts and bolts?" The book Fahrenheit 451 is a futuristic story, in which society believes that books are useless and a waste of space. These people feel that the most important aspect of their life is their job and entertainment such as television after work. In this essay, I will answer the question in the quote above. This quote from Fahrenheit 451 ...

... to be raced on the tract to cars intended to be raced on the street. The cars were not just for fun, they were a selling point for the make of cars they were. Buyers in the market for a new car in 1970 saw two street heroes racing and one was driving a 1970 Chevelle and the other was driving a 1970 Mustang and the Chevelle won would you go and buy a Mustang or a Chevelle. These cars are from a different breed with the bold paint schemes ,hood scoops and that neck snapping acceleration(Grey 42). Chevrolet has played the biggest part in muscle car development in my eyes. They started in the early sixties with a car ...

... one account came descriptions of unsanitary bathrooms. This, surely, must have been torture, but, hopefully, most immigrants found the dreadful trip to be worth the freedom at the other end. Ellis Island, also, was far from sanitary. The people would break down into lines, and walk by a doctor, trying to hide any physical problems. Children over two had to be able to walk by themselves. If the doctor noticed anything wrong he would use a piece of chalk to show the person required further inspection. If, this was indeed the case, the person would be set aside in a cage. Another test was that of sanity. An ...

... One of the differences between the imported and domestic cars is the style. Since the years are passing by, the companies are in competition trying to sell as much products as they can and trying to make the style of the cars catch buyers attention. Many people in the market have different taste on what kind of style they are looking for. The style of the import cars is undefined, in most of the imported cars you can add a body kit and make it original. The domestic cars are plain and sharp; they don’t have body kits for the domestic cars. The colors are different; it depends on the carmaker. The domestic ca ...

... of wild beasts, and brought the spoils of the chase as presents to his beloved; but as Oenopion constantly deferred his consent, Orion attempted to gain possession of the maiden by violence. Her father, incensed at this conduct, having made Orion drunk, deprived him of his sight and cast him out on the seashore. The blinded hero followed the sound, of a Cyclops' hammer till he reached Lemnos, and came to the forge of Vulcan(Hephaestus), who, taking pity on him, gave him Kedalion, one of his men to be his guide to the abode of the sun. Placing Kedalion on his shoulders, Orion proceeded to the east, and there meeting t ...

... that contributes to child neglect is a fast rate of family breakdown. This is an effect of divorce and rapid increase in single parent pregnancies. Couples marrying today face an even higher chance of divorcing at some point during their lives together. “A family’s deterioration can come about in ways other than separation” (Wilson 50). Staying together, in certain conditions and situations may increase further economical or psychological problems that may affect the child. Social attitudes today are scarcely more tolerant. “With the ratio of one divorce in four marriages moving towa ...

... the way things are done. Those who own the technology no longer have to "think" about menial tasks. For example, when one buys a product in a store for $1.38 and hands the cashier a five-dollar bill, the cashier will punch in the five dollars and let the computerized cash register indicate the correct change of $3.62 to give to the customer. No thinking on the part of a person is involved. Instead, it is substituted by a reliance on mechanical and repetitious actions which are unproductive and unhealthy for the mind. We human beings are blessed with the capability to reason and to think logically; therefore, w ...

... various illnesses. Children in a daycare center play together and do many activities in close proximity of one another, so that once a sickness is introduced to one child many others can be affected within a short period of time. However, children that are raised at home with a parent have a much less chance of being exposed to illnesses. There are usually not many other children to spread germs around. Even when a child being cared for at home gets sick it's not likely that reoccurring illnesses will be a problem. An at home parent can take the extra time to take extra special care of a sick child. It ...
