... A survey in 1950 revealed that 50% of all Americans were taking it upon themselves to light up. This percentage decreased somewhat in 1964 when the Surgeon General came out with a statement proclaiming tobacco to be the probable cause of cancer. Although this percentage did lessen, America still continued to smoke. The year after the warning came out, it was found that 42% of Americans were purchasing this product. Just last year, forty states sued tobacco companies demanding compensation for the money they lost through taxes and various other costs because of the tobacco industry.

... so many men. Prostitution is really the only crime in the penal law where two people are doing a thing mutually agreed upon and yet only one, the female partner, is subject to arrest. Because promiscuous men can't or don't like women, be subject to state custody, reformers considered that it was time for a new penal code. Public health officials and abolitionists took a few steps toward stopping prostitution. They tried eliminating sanitary regulations that authorized prostitution. Reformers argued that halting the sex trade would prevent prostitutes and those associated with them from participating in a criminal ...

... male institutions, however, Benedict’s sister, Scholastica founded monasteries for women. Many of the texts we have today are with us because of monks. Beginning in the ninth century, the monks used scriptoria, or writing rooms, to copy different manuscripts. Between the sixth and tenth centuries, the monasteries experienced what one might call a moral decline. The purity and poverty which was the ideal for monks was being abandoned. Simony, the buying of clerical positions, was common, as was the practice of priests being married. In 910, Duke William of Aquataine wanted to do something to correct this p ...

... Grendel to gnaw the broken bones of his last human supper,” (309-310). This is a way of foreshadowing the fate, or destiny, or Grendel’s life. During the Last Battle, Beowulf replies “I mean to stand, not run from his shooting flames, stand till fate decides which of us wins,” (637-639). He acted as though everything that he has gone through so far in his life, was in the hands of fate, and would continue to be until his time was over. Whatever came out of this battle, was meant to be and there was nothing that was going to change it. Fate is related to the Pagan religion. Paganism was ...

... roles in the lives of the characters and the events of the Greek- Trojan War. Athena plays a very influential role in the Greek-Trojan War. She is the most constant divine supporter of the Greeks and divine enemy of the Trojans. Athena's function is to be a goddess of pro-Greek warfare. She came to the aid of the Greeks many times throughout the war. For instance, Athena came down from the sky to stop Achilleus from attacking Agamemnon (Willcock). Andre Michalopoulous confirms this action by quoting what Athena says to Achilles : I came from heaven to stay thine anger, if perchance though wilt hearken t ...

... the person itself. The battle to improve this situation has become endless and it seems that it will remain so until teenagers decide to respect themselves and society stops using sex as a medium to sell, attract and distort reality.

When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is very much the same kind of powerful force. It is a gift from God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep ...

... reason for the emergence of gangs in the United States is uncertain, as is the exact date. The earliest recorded incidence of youth gangs dates back to 1783 or towards the end of American Revolution. Social upheaval, displaced families, and a new economy may have caused this birth of a new sub-culture taking form. Youth gangs may have emerged spontaneously from pre-teen social groups or as a response to the industrialization of American culture (Block, 1996). Another theory is that youth gangs first emerged following the mexican migration into the American southwest following the Mexican Revolution in 1813. M ...

... access to never before imagined volumes of knowledge. Undoubtedly, if someone had the time to search, they could find anything they needed. Pornography, car racing, multi-player games, chat rooms, and shopping malls are just a finite portion of the content of the Internet. While some content is certainly beneficial to today’s Internet society, a large portion condones, encourages, and develops negative contributions to everyday life. One such issue, the avocation of illegal drug use through websites, Usenet, email, and countless other media plagues our society, especially the impressionable youth. The en ...
