Animosity In Children's Sports
... parents often act in
a disdainful manner towards the other team. Insufficient enforcement of
the rules against unsportsmanlike conduct by the parents often causes this
improper behavior to continue. In professional sports, fans who get out of
control often buy themselves an escorted walk out of the stadium.
Likewise, coaches and players also have consequences for acting
inappropriately. Coaches are subjected to game ejections or ineligibility
to return as a coach the following year. Players hold the responsibility
to behave appropriately also, and may face a game suspension and other
penalties. Parents often ...

Maintaining Civil Liberty
... common good as to its end." Which would strike the same tone as John Stuart Mill , " Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to the rest." ( Mill, p. 72)
Which would leave us to believe that the norm should be that the individual should have independent rights and freedoms only in accordance to the well being of the whole of society.
Hence, the question of is there any good basis for an obligation to obey the law? It seems to myself that Mill and Aquinas justifuly answered that debate , yet, the Joseph Raz article , The Authority of Law , tends to disagree. Raz argues t ...

Justice
... all week, while her brother has to ride his bike. No
one deserves the car more, so there should be equal amounts of use.
Another place where injustices occur is at school. Budging in the
lunch-line, pop quizzes, homework, detentions, and cheating are just a few
of the complaints that occur at school.
Budging, whether in the lunch-line or the bathroom line, is
completely unfair. (Unless, of course, you're the person budging.) A line
is formed as a way to make everyone wait the same. The whole system is
ruined if someone budges. Budging is rarely caught, but when it is, the
punishment is severe. The person who ...

Reform Movements Of The Nineteenth Century
... and a sharp increase in the labor force. This new economy which was developing in America required strict schedules for the work force and was much more demanding of its employees. This was one of the reasons the temperance movement began. In 1810, a census concluded that 25 million gallons of spirits were being produced in America. At this time America was not only a hard-working society, but a hard drinking society as well (Tindall and Shi 545). Males were mostly to blame for the mass consumption, and alcohol was beginning to be blamed for many social problems of the period. Temperance groups, such as t ...

Thomas Gordon: Active Listening
... is, there is another which has been shown to be even more effective. This is the technique of active listening. In active listening, both the “sender “ and the “receiver” of messages are involved. In this method, the door of communication is not merely opened, but participants learn how to keep it open.
Gordon says that in order to learn how to listen actively, the teacher or parent must understand more about the communication process. He says that when a child decides to communicate with a parent or teacher, it is because he has a need. The child’s organism is in a state of “disequilibrium” becaus ...

Immigration: Pro
... Act was the first federal legislation that dealt with the
expulsion of aliens in the United States. Another landmark case was the
notorious Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. That clause revoked all Chinese
immigrants to emigrate to the States for a period of ten years. It is so
infamous due to the fact that it was the first bill that discriminated against
any one particular race. Restrictions on immigration may seem to have been
eradicated from current history but that is an oversight. Even in the
"politically correct" society we live in today allows for these discrepancies,
for in the Immigration Act of 1990 whic ...

Marriage: Try It Before You Chance It
... like a dry run on seeing the differences and equalities, or faults and defaults of living together.
One readily understandable danger of getting married and not having the experience of living with your partner is the question of what life would be like after that knot is tied. For example, your beautiful bride who you love and adore, has a small fetish of spending money. Since you and your bride are united as one in marriage, this means that her fetish problem has now become your problem. This exact situation is known to break 4 out of 10 marriages in the U.S. today. (Los Angeles Times) The last thing any happily ma ...

Stereotyping In Movies
... next because it changed my life. Kerri didn’t go on asking me questions, instead she said “oh so you are rich right?” Kerri didn’t mean to upset me, but I remember how I felt after that question. My body went numb and I wanting to crawl into a little ball and just disappear. Ever since that day, I made a vow to myself that I would never stereotype anyone, and that I would stick up for anyone that was stereotyped, because I knew what it felt like to be placed in a group, rather than to be looked at as an individual.
Many different groups of people have been stereotyped. The movie The Siege has brought up m ...

Demographics
... why demography is such an
important field . In this paper ,I take a look at certain information and
deduce a critical anaylization of facts in hopes of getting a greater
understanding.
The first set of facts we will look at is the comparison of total
black population vs. total white population . In New York in 1990 there
were 10,653,051 whites and 2,805,115 blacks .From this information we can
assume a few things . This shows that in even such a state with one of the
most cosmopolitan cities(NYC) that most likely there will be more whites
seen throughout. With a higher white population there will probably be more ...

Black Supremacy
... and the need for liberation.
The liberation of the black man is needed! Molefi Asante describes "the
Afrocentric awareness [as] the total commitment to African liberation anywhere
any everywhere by a consistent determined effort to repair any psychic, economic,
physical, or cultural damage done to Africans"(50). Liberation from what...the
white race? Molefi's statement is completely ludicrous; the first copy of his
book with this statement was printed in 1988, in my opinion blacks were fairly
liberated in 1988. Now the second part of his statement, repair what damage?
Any psychic damage which has been th ...
