... rights, both for women and freed slaves. She also organized the first women's temperance (anti-alcohol) association and, with Elizabeth Stanton, worked to pass the first laws guaranteeing equal rights for women with regard to their children, property, and wages.

Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, NY, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to anti-slavery and to temperance. H ...

... company. This is something that many employees don’t think about, or don’t care about. Many fast food restaurants are good examples of this. These companies are operated in such a manner that their employees don’t have any pride, or satisfaction in what they are doing. If you have been to a fast food restaurant lately, you can see how that reflects in the service that you get. Another method is to create a distinguished history for a company. This would include how the company was started, who founded it, accomplishments and contributions, and other bits of information that would complement a company. Th ...

... sexual violence, the urge to rape, an increase in sexual desire, and many other harmful effects. For these reasons, the sale and distribution of pornographic material should be more strictly regulated. The sale of pornographic material, including sexually-explicit book, magazines, and videos, is illegal to people under the age of 18. These items are easily accessible to American youth, and therefore, thousands and thousands of teenagers are viewing explicit materials daily. Whether the pornography be stolen, given to by an older sibling, or found in a trash can, minors have had their hands on these vulgar public ...

... the different styles that expressionist painters have, they share the same outlook of having individual freedom of expression. We will discuss the abstract expressionist style, and the influence that Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko had on expressionism. Who would ever think that a line or a color would trigger so many different conclusions to what message the artists were trying to relay? began as lyrical and as a remembrance of the past that ended up forcefully and boldly dramatic. “Basic to most abstract expressionist painting were the attention paid to surface qualities, ie., qualities of brushstroke and tex ...

... that in the future, society would be filled with better and also more efficient intellectuals. As a result the society as a whole would greatly benefit. How can a list of thirteen virtues change society in the future? After a brief overview of the list I was not impressed. Maybe these would apply to Franklin's day but not to the twentieth century. With a few subtractions and additions the list of virtues may be a helpful tool in any persons life. Temperance is first on the list and is the most important of the virtues. As Franklin states, some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but this was not Franklin ...

... such, and this is all being paid for by the taxpayer's money. Fortunately, a law was passed in 1994 which has put more police on the streets, increased drug enforcement, border patrols, and crime prevention programs. Another concern we deal with as Americans is education. Many students drop out of school early. Many of the rest graduate knowing less math, science, and history than other industrialized nations. Illiteracy rates are high, and more and more students are graduating from school even if they have been absent more days than allowed. To improve this, committees have been organized will develop volunt ...

... the most because it affects the vocabulary of English. American English, especially, is always adding new words to its vocabulary for social, scientific, or artistic reasons. The scientific and artistic words do not bother these people; only the social, or slang, words do. Slang is usually created by children or teens who seek social status (Morrow 137). Because kids are the source of new slang, some adults look down on it with the assumption that kids are unintelligent and simply rebelling against established English grammar and diction. However, most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. ...

... today. Thousands of children die or are wounded every year due to handguns and their misuse. This is because they have become too available and are easily put into the hands of children. How many children have to needlessly die before America sees that we need stricter gun control laws? To leave the issue of gun control untouched by the government is to say that the citizens of America are essentially apathetic when it comes to violence in our country. Especially with the amount of juvenile violence that has been on the rise ever since the 80's, legislators must take stronger action than ever before to show th ...

... our nation: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some people show their patriotism by joining the Army, the Navy, the Air Force or the Marines. Americans display their patriotism for their country on the Fourth of July. All across the country, fireworks are seen and patriotic music is played on the radio. This is my favorite holiday because everyon comes together and celebrates. There are not may other countries who have as much pride in their country as the American people do. The biggest excitement of being an American comes from the joy of living in a democracy. We have the right to vote. This means t ...
