... is not...", and these two things make up the entire universe. These invisible particles come together to form material objects, you and I are made of the same atoms as a chair or a tree. When the tree dies or the chair is thrown into a fire the atoms do not burn up or die, but are dispersed back into the vacuity. The atoms alone are without mind or secondary qualities, but they can combine to form living and thinking objects, along with sound, color, taste, etc... Atoms form life, consciousness, and the soul, and when our body dies there is nothing left of the latter except for its parts, which randomly become p ...

... Indies. This term is still used today. From the first interaction with the native peoples the Europeans inatiated dominance and superiority. There are three distinctive reasons that the Europeans were able to dominate and later oppress the Native American culture such as; the Native American relgious beleifs and practices, the lack of interaction between Native Americans ans Europeans and the lack of orginization of the Indian tribes.

... and unemployment. Those that were fortunate to find jobs found themselves "slaves to the clock". The conditions in the factories were beyond their control. The factories were in a constant flux.

Woman and children made up half of the labor force in the factories. Women and children were also considered more compliant workers. Men who formerly owned their own farms or shops had a difficult time adjusting to their new role and social status. Craftsmen were also lo ...

Segregation is called the Jim Crow system, after a minstrel show character from the 1830s who was an old, crippled, black slave who stood for negative stereotypes of blacks. Segregation has become common in Southern states following the end of Reconstruction in 1877. During Reconstruction, republican governments in the Southern states were run by blacks, Northerners, and some Southerners. The Reconstruction governments had passed laws to help blacks get economic and political opportunities. By 1877 the Democratic Party had g ...

... Even though these are some healthy activities like playing sports, camping and joining the school clubs, the parents do not want their children to spend too much time outside. In contrast, the children who raised in the United States can go outside more freely. In fact, all of the parents are scared of their children having accidents. However, most of the parents in the United States prefer their children to have more outside activities than just stay at home. In addition, most of the children in Hong Kong have no human rights than the children who are raised in the United States. Traditionally, many pa ...

... is too obscene for society to hear or see. The advocates of censorship get riled up because the movie rating council doesn't give a move an R-rating for having the occasional f-word. One rap group, 2 Live Crew, has already had one of their albums banned because in one song they used explicit references to male genitals and 87 references to oral sex. They used the word "bitch" more than 100 times and the f-word more than 200 times. Although most people agree that we are being overwhelmed with offensive material, there is no consensus on how to deal with the problem. There are three possible solutions. The firs ...

... leads to friendly kidding and good-natured jokes. Simple-minded stereotyping can be dangerous. The danger lies in exaggeration of differences in color, nationality, religion and language. We exaggerate the differences, ignoring what we share as human beings and become prejudiced. Prejudice is nourished by fear as it grows out of exaggeration. It is a profoundly negative emotion bearing the fruit of hatred. Racism is a form of extreme prejudice that leads to physical and psychological violence. Racists can be any color: white, black, brown, red or yellow. A white racist thinks all blacks are alike, while ...

... because of their sexual preference. The main argument brought up against same-sex marriage is that it is “strictly an institution between a man and a woman� (Hogan, 380). Webster’s Dictionary defines marriage as “the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family.� This definition clearly states that marriage is intended for a man and woman, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
