Human Nature Is Inherently Bad
... Lupus (man is a wolf to man).
Freud justification for such a drastic approach type conclusion, can by
described as basically atrocities of the century Freud lived in. In example the
invasion of the Huns, as a brutal entity designed to portray Man's innately evil
nature. And the atrocities of the First World War.
Freud's view of Man is an evil one. And that all Men are innately evil
and aggression lies within the human as a part of his nature.
Our inclination to aggression is apparent in one's relation with his

Gangs In Today's Cities
... the blame at several
institutions. These include the forces of the media, the government,
theatre, drugs and our economic system.
On the surface, gangs are caused by peer pressure and greed. Many
teens in gangs will pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making
it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10
year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to
$400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors
they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against
their morals.
One of the ways that kids mo ...

The Injustice Of Slavery
... actually become free, you might be asking yourself. It
all began with a man named Abraham Lincoln, he wanted to set slaves free. But
the southern states had large plantations and needed slaves to help, so this was
not a good idea, in their opinion. This controversy led to the Civil War, which
was eventually won by the north, and slaves were set free in America. But people
discriminated slaves very much, and that was not good.
Discrimination of African Americans is not that big now a days, but it
is still out there. Discrimination sort of died out when a man named Martin
Luther King, Jr. expressed some of his th ...

Impact Of Abuse

within the childs mind. The abuse feels so wrong yet the abuser insits
it is okay, taking advantage of the childs mistrust and naivety. Below
are the thoughts of an abused victim as she thinks back to her abuse and
questions her father. It is an example of this mistrust as well as the
confusion which goes through a childs mind.
Since I was a little ten-year-old child, I had to deceive and hide from
the world and my mother that my father took a sexual interest in me.
Remember how you taught me that art of deceit? First you put me in a
situation that had to be kept a secret then you pledged me to sec ...

Television Violence
... a lot more interesting to watch. People don't want to
see things that happen to them on a regular bases. Although sometimes seeing
something that has happened to you before may be funny. Watching T.V. relieves
stress and can be good for your health. Doctors say that laughing is good for
your health.
Violence on T.V. is a very debatable issue. Some people say that it is
totally wrong and that it should be banned. Most people like the violence and
find it to be very entertaining. Parents find it very hard to restrict their
kids from watching violent television programs. The child would want to watch
that program t ...

Japanese Marriage And Wedding Traditions
... the marriage system must have gone through various changes in the social system and conditions. Such changes are now difficult to trace in detail but the most important and historical change in the Japanese marriage system is said to have been made from the "Muko-iri" practice (for a bridegroom to enter the family of his aimed-at bride) to the "Yome-iri" system (for a bride to be accepted into her bridegroom's home). The change seems to have taken place in the 13th and 14th centuries by the rise of "Bushi" warriors in power.6
During the age of aristocracy, a bridegroom would nightly visit his bride at her home ...

Psychological Perspectives
... these functions relate to our mental processes. Through use of CAT (Computerized axial tomography) and PET (Positron emission tomography) scans, combined with electronic stimulation, psychologists are able to see how the brain behaves when dealing with emotions and thoughts. These tests also enable psychologists to see the brain activity of a person with mental disorders differs from that of normal brain activity. The biological perspective also deals with the different types of chemicals and hormones that are released by the brain and how they influence behavior. For instance, psychologists have learned that w ...

Study Of Family Interaction Lead To New Undrestanding Of Abusive Parents
... eating and cleaning-up. The family interaction
is video-taped and later analyzed.
The researchers have developed a system which allows them to record the
effectiveness of parenting skills. They are particularly interested in
disciplinary strategies because abuse most commonly occurs when the parent
wants the child to comply. "It's a question of trying to determine which
type of parent produces which type of child or which type of child elicits
which type of parental behaviour," explains Oldershaw.
As a result of their work, Walters and Oldershaw have identified
distinct categories of abusive parents and the ...

Dragons In America
... Stand”, and “Silence of the Lambs” strike fear in to the hearts of millions
of Americans all too often. This creates people to fear monsters in reality more
than ever because Hollywood makes monsters as scary as possible. The television
is another source of violence in the world. It seems that every shows on TV has
to do with some kind of terrible murder. Shows like “New York Undercover”
always end up with a seen where someone is shot to death. This makes the viewer
perceive society as a place too dangerous to live in.
A very obvious monster in America is a criminal. Americans fear burglars,
rapists, ...

Violence
... numbers are hitting all time highs. From 1992 to 1995, drug use among
teenagers almost doubled. Drugs and alcohol are both mind altering agents which
cause people to do things that they would not normally do or intensify the
emotions that they feel. I believe that many violent acts are due to people
being under the influence of some type of narcotic or alcohol.
In a survey conducted in the University of Tennessee for the Department
of Health, the effects of drug abuse on violence were studied. It was found
that almost 56% of drinkers also used drugs while drinking. Interestingly,
white males were found to ...
