... a job. As I was reading an article, I read that 40,000 teenage women drop out of school each year. Many of them endure in dramatic social and economical hardships and become dependent on welfare. Continuing this article, I also found out that 43% of all adolescents become pregnant before the age of 20. I feel as though many women do not know how to resist peer pressure or temptation, I feel, as though they should resort to abstinence. Abstinence is without a question the best policy, and should be emphasized as not just the preferred choice, but the safest- to prevent pregnancy as well as some diseases that range f ...

... Many people consider themselves part of a generation B. My generations have values C. Our values lead to right to opinion D. Rights to opinion Generations Being part of Generation X, I am questioned about my generation's values. Hippies, Baby Boomers, and Gen-Xers all have values that are similar, but my generation is being questioned more than other generations. Values of my generation are rights to opinions, freedom, and attitude. Different generations have different values but most values are alike. One value of my generation is the right to opinion. Ways of showing our rights to opinion is we have pro ...

... that involves violence and/or destruction of property and is usually politically motivated. (Terrorism 3) Our fight against terrorism became something the terrorists might fear in 1970, at the Hague Convention. This United Nations convention basically defined . ..hijacking as a crime and required contracting states either to allow the extradition of hijackers to their country of origin, or to prosecute them in the state where they were arrested. (The Terrorists 146) Atkins states that one of the reasons it took so long to do anything about terrorism is that it is so hard to define, and therefore just as hard t ...

... broke up argue over whose fault the breakup was. The audiences votes on who is the “loser�. First of all, it is obvious that the stories are fictional and the alleged couples are actors. But the real problem lies within the idea behind the show. Is that the biggest problem the world is facing today? Who to blame in some strange couples breakup? It is disturbing to know that the same audience members and at-home viewers that are voting on whom to place the blame, will one day be voting for the leaders of our country. Worse yet, they may someday be the leaders of our country. The latest teen film to hit theate ...

... women be in the infrantry, armor and special forces? I definetly do not believe they should. I have concuded that it would be a disadvantage to the United States military to have women in combat rolesbecause women’s physical, social, and medical considerations. Today there are many military jobs that are available to women. In the last 20 years women have made many outstanding advances for themselves in different fields. In April 193, Les Aspin and President Clinton lifted the restriction to women flying in combatmissions. As of now, 67 percent of all positions are open to women in the Army. The positions that ...

... marriages. Furthermore, the homosexual community is more prominent than ever: Lesbians and gay men are fighting for civil rights in the courtroom and in Congress, there are gay characters on prime-time television shows, well- known public figures openly discussing their homosexuality, and there is virtually no one who can claim that they have never had contact with a homosexual. In the middle of all this publicity, there lingers a pending Supreme Court case in which the fate of the homosexual lies: Romer v. Evans, a case that dominated Colorado that has come to "symbolize the controversy over gay legal rights" t ...

... who had gotten out of prison a few weeks prior to our talk, and they where telling me how they learned how to make certain crafts, learn how to sow, and many other things. To me, that sounds awfully like a camp I was made to go to when I was young. Some people in prison even have television, others treat it like a hotel. This disgusts me! This doesn't sound at all like a prison. A prison is a place where people are supposed to be punished. Not treated like guests. There is a fin line between being punished and being over punished however. I'm not saying that each person should be beaten daily, or made to ...

... that one time a kid was caught cheating on a test. The teacher tied the kid to a chair and sprayed him down with Raid insect killer. When I expressed disbelief, she swore it was true. Another interviewee that grew up in the early twenties attended school only through the eighth grade. After that he helped his father on the farm. In the typical school day today, a student has to do a lot more than cheat on a test to get in any real trouble. Some things that get kids in a lot of trouble now include looking up porn on the Internet and fighting. Swearing in class is usually punished with mild reprimand from the ...

... things that people do. The media does not go around reporting all of the good things that these people do, just the bad things and their mistakes. They are only human just like the rest of us. Are these people safe for our children to idolize to look up to? I think that the answer is YES! If you were watching the news, would you really want to hear about all of the charities that an athlete has donated money to? It would be interesting at first, but you would get tired of it afterwards. That is why the media never covers anything like this. We all know that they really don't care about anything else except ...

... a western cowboy called the Marlboro Man, while Camel uses Joe Camel, a hip cartoon character. Everywhere you go there is billboards or some other kind of advertisement on these two shady characters. When I say shady, I imply that these characters are not just figures we see but they are traps just waiting to lure the next victim in. As kids look through magazines and see Joe Camel driving a cool car and surrounded by beautiful women they get the idea that in order to be somebody they need to smoke a Camel cigarette. It is not right to prey on young people just because they are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Th ...
