... are still aspects of violence that are prevalent in it. According to Sigmund Freud, “a powerful measure of desire for aggression has to be reckoned as part of their (man’s) instinctual endowment.� Man needs to practice violence and do it at the expense of others. Rene Girard states that, “violence is not to be denied, but it can be directed to another object, something it can sink its teeth into.� By analyzing these two new theories on violence, along with Paul Tough’s article, one can develop a whole new attitude violence’s relation with the mosh pit. Rene Girard explains that it is only human ...

... are raising one or more children. Legally, homosexual marriages are not binding, thus causing difficulty in adopting or fostering children. Due to society it is often difficult to birth a child, as well, without a "husband" or a "father" in a mother's life. Therefore, those who have children, via pregnancy, foster, or adoption have conquered a very difficult task. So, is this family an abnormal family because there are no opposite sex parents. Or is it a normal family because of the love its' members share? Can we say what it is that makes a family. Perhaps, if we can answer these questions, we will find the s ...

... Japan don't pay child support. Furthermore, one third of all children in northern Europe are born to mothers that are not married. It could be time to accept the fact that "families, like everything else, evolve and change no matter how much resistance they face." Although families are at a point where they are changing, it is something the world can adjust to. With families changing in recent decades, data still shows that families are still the most important in people's lives. Following recent studies Robert Glossop said that "Canadians continue to report that the most important things in their lives are the ...

... years Dave and his wife Dawn have run their own swing club in the Chicago suburbs. "We own Couples Choice, and though it's listed as a swing club it's a lot more social than people imagine," Dave said. This socialness includes dances, special theme parties, dinners and vacations. The couples who attend are also interested in learning about relationships, meeting new friends and for exposure to something new. One of the most common misconceptions is that people come just to have sex. However, this is an option at Dave and Dawn's club. Their club is known as an ‘on-site' club. This means that Dave and Dawn pro ...

... ethics are the foundation upon which the family is based, therefore to help the family why not foster these religious ideals? (And while we're at it, why not make a contribution to the two billion dollar tax-free Christian Broadcasting Network?) The manifest function here of religion is to provide people with a unifying belief that will scare kids into behaving so they do not go to Hell. The latent function is that it is a slap in the face to every Easterner who has conducted themselves in a productive and positive manner. Many of the Christian right I am sure do not realize how offensive the notion is ...

... of breathing in this tradition has been taken as the sign of death as the soul cannot be physically seen leaving the body and therefor another sign must be made present. In modern times, death has been thought to occur when the vital functions cease breathing and circulation (as evidence by the beating of the heart). This definition is also supported by the definition of clinical death, which states that death is equated with irreversible coma. This view has been challenged; however, as medical advanced have made it possible to sustain respiration and cardiac functioning through mechanical means. Thus, more rece ...

... responses to the red splotch of paint, photographs, video tapes and paintings portraying nudity and sexual content receive a number of clashing opinions. There are artists who paint and photograph nudity and pornography who find the human body and sex portrayed in many forms to be beautiful. However, there are also many extremely conservative individuals who take offense to such "artwork" and find its contents appalling. And those who enjoy the nudity and sexual content exhibited in pornographic materials should marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In the words of Just ...

... into believing in the "El Chuppecabra" because of some weird events that have happened. They all put the label of "El Chuppecabra" on a man that has a physical problem that he can not control. The Latino official tries to explain this by saying "They need something to live on, they use their myths to have a sense of hope." This puts a false interpretation of these people in the mind of the viewer. The viewer takes this statement and weather he/she knows about it; they associate all Latin Americans to this idea. Thus, Latin Americans are seen as inferior to this person. Another problem with this episode is that th ...

... provided failed to acknowledge the changes that women were hoping for. Once women began to fight for their own concerns, the strong backing that the nationalist parties had provided were quickly disintegrated. Nationalism is the fight one country has to gain independence from another country. In many cases, this struggle happened in countries that practiced colonialism. This is because there was an economic imbalance between the more powerful country and the country where raw materials were being taken from. The subordinate countries in this case began their quest for industrial status. Many of these countri ...
