The Homeless In England
... as sources and also their paper. When I came home
I searched on the internet to get information and there was a lot of it, so I
choosed some headings and took a closer look at them.
Who's homeless?
I thought, before I went to England, that every homeless person was that by
his/her own choice, but after talking to them and read about it I know that some
of the homeless is that by their own choice. They choose to be homeless for
different reasons, like a protest against the society or just to try the
homeless life.
25% of the homeless are war veterans and most of them from Vietnam. They are
mentally traumatised b ...

The Sociolect Of Teenage Jocks
... To give an example of
all these features, I once witnessed a jock get into an argument with
another student in front of a group of jocks. The argument consisted of “
Get the f*ck out of here. Don’t mess with me!”, a red face as his anger
level mounted and punches when he did not get his own way. The rock, by
being seldom broken, can prove its precedence to the rest of the quarry.
Diction of a jock is overridden with abbreviations, such as DL which means
Down Low, slang words consisting of the common Asshole, Bitch or “F*ck You”
and newer slang including words such as phat which means cool or good. A
jo ...

The Problem Of Evil
... first solution to the problem of evil states that good cannot exist without
evil. Not a bad argument, but faulty. With evil existing you have something
to compare it to, which is good. But, If God was really all-good the word evil
would not exist because everything would just be good. If God is so good and so
powerful than why does he let so much evil exist? I could understand a little
bit of bad people and things to make the good stand out, but there is so much.
All the time in the news you hear about someone being murdered, children being
molested, a natural disaster striking a area and many people s ...

Men And Women: Why Are We So Different?
... that society views certain characteristics as being distinctly male and others as being distinctly female. We, as men, should be careful not to undervalue women as Dr. Valian says we do. We should hold them as equals and as partners. In doing this, it is necessary to examine some of these differences and to show that though these do exist, neither is superior to the other, and society should strive to reflect this.
The first difference that we will examine is the very core that makes us different. That core is biology. In biology, there are two distinct sets of genes: male (XX) and female (XY). Though these a ...

Only Those With No Hope Take Drugs
... of people their own age. In addition, they are easily
influenced by media, such as movies, music, TV, and etc. Moreover, young people
often have a sense, that death or other severe consequences of drug use will not
affect them personally. At the age of rebel, teenagers are curious of trying
new things which they've been told forbidden. Adults may begin using drugs for
some of the same reasons as young people. In addition, the stress of life, job,
and family pressures may lead people to seek relief in drugs.
When people do not know how to handle their stress and depressions
properly, they seek for ways t ...

The American And Japanese Social System
... economic growth and stability is based on free market principles and participation in the international market. The US government is trying to institutionalize and strengthen is dialogue with the Japanese government and to enhance the dialogue between the two private sectors. There are many institutions involved in the governmental side of the dialogue, and just about every aspect of the economic relationship is covered. A key problem today is the false thinking that the Japanese market is a closed one. Many Americans seem to feel that if the Japanese market is not like the US market, then it must be unfair. Th ...

The Real Issue Of Youth Violence
... Much of the technology has
brought along aspects of violence. Turn on the TV or pop in the best
selling video game tittle, and it is not difficult to see why people have
this impression. However, I strongly disagree that violence on the screen
is at the root of youth violence. One aspect of this theory that I feel is
particularly disturbing is that people feel that video games are
responsible for violence in youths. I have grown up with video games my
whole life. I annihilate over a million aliens, monsters, and green slimy
things every year. Yet, I have never felt compelled to commit any act of
violence that I see ...

Psychology: Women And Territory
... ways in which people can violate
someone's territory. The violation of a boundary can have serious consequences.
For instance, a gang uses visual stimuli such as graffiti to illustrate a marked
territory. The unreadable words to the average person mean nothing. A rival gang
member may ignore these symbols of territory and hence, put their life in
jeopardy.
Territory is not just environmental, but it is also bodily. A person
creates an imaginary bubble around them. This is considered their personal space.
Some people are allowed into the bubble while strangers usually must stay
outside. The bubble varies fro ...

Victoria's Secret Vs Gap
... class of customers when they create GapBody. Victoria’s Secret found their market in the sexiest lingerie possible. It will be dangerous for GapBody to try and compete with that same market, seeing how it is a limited market as well. It is clear that sex is everywhere, everywhere on television and movies, sex is now becoming more socially acceptable then ever.
Gap has established a tremendous relationship market with its customers. Shoppers are turning away from the department stores and shopping at specialty shops. Shops such as the Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Structure and others. Shops that get more p ...

Racism
... sponsored genocide. Racism is an unmerited fear or dislike of a
people because of their ethnic heritage. When colour is not a reason,
other reasons such as language, religion, nationality, education, sex, or
age become the reason of prejudice.
Sociologists, historians, anthropologists and archeologists believe
racial discrimination happens more often and most harshly when two groups
with different skin colours and unique physical features come into contact
with each other and the two compete for the same thing. History shows that
all attempts at a racial dominance result in conflict and avoidance.
But, s ...
