... in the manner of logic which I possess, they are not. The debate now is rape, and what constitutes that once horridly thought of crime. In the opinion of some, rape is no longer just a physical act of violence that accompanies uninvited sex. Rape, as defined by some, can occur even when the two parties involved agree verbally or otherwise to have sex. This to me, seems absurd. In the most basic terms, and with the simplest definitions, no means no, and okay, yeah, yes and please, all mean yes. The term "NO" is not very complicated, and is probably the word that was repeated to us the most as children, so we sho ...

... instructors play that influences women in their desires and abilities concerning math and science. Teachers can help women excel in science fields but research shows that most science classes send messages that discourage female students who then often stop taking science classes. "Young women may feel unwelcome in science classes for a number of reasons: examples and applications are most often masculine, interactions sanction male dominance, science content appears to have no connection to women's experience, and competition is emphasized over collaboration (Taylor and Sweetnam). So what do the teachers who po ...

... two, no more than 5 or 6, people for the purpose of getting a feedback and sharing information. is not interpersonal if it involves too many people. When the number of people exceeds a certain amount it is no longer ,it then becomes mass communication. In my definition it is vital that feed- back be given to the person that is doing the communicating. When feedback is not present then the lines of communication break down and then there is no communication at all. Even if the message is perceived wrong still exists as long as the feedback is given. For example: when you talk to someone that is hard o ...

... its long history of racial and sexual discrimination. Nevertheless these days it seems to provoke, rather than ease, the nations internal divisions. An increasingly self-confident opposition movement argues that the battle to guarantee equal rights for all citizens has been fought and won – and that favoring members of one group over another simply goes against the ideals this very country was founded on. However defenders of affirmative action say that the playing fields are not leveled yet. Meaning that granting modest advantages to minorities and women is more than fair, given hundreds of years of discr ...

... who is shown as a dromedary with complete style has been attacked by many Tobacco-Free Kids organizations as a major influence on the children of America. Dr. Lonnie Bristow, AMA (American Medical Association) spokesman, remarks that "to kids, cute cartoon characters mean that the product is harmless, but cigarettes are not harmless. They have to know that their ads are influencing the youth under 18 to begin smoking"(Breo). Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia report that almost as many 6-year olds recognize Joe Camel as know Mickey Mouse (Breo). That is very shocking information for any parent to he ...

... many parallels between women's experiences in the nineties with Betty Friedan's, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother ...

... the CD doing that!" My parents and I very seldom, if ever, agree on our ideas of good music. My parents think my music is "just noise," but as long as they don't have to hear it, they tolerate it. On the other hand, they notice some things that have changed a great deal since there generation. My parents have no problems with the way I dress, but they are very surprised at the large change that took place between our generations. Long hair, mopcuts, bellbottoms and more are the appearance my parents remember. I think, as a change for the better, my generation mostly keeps their hair neat and trim. We habitua ...

... money, in addition, it makes the operation of the government inefficient. Everyone have to suffer from it because all this money come from the tax. Using different languages also breaks the unity of our society. People are separated by what kind of language they speak; for example, people who speak only Chinese will live in China Town. Those people also tend to hang around with the same kind of people, those who speak Chinese. There is no communiaction between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same cultur ...

... A sibling relationship is ascribed, Siblings cant choose each other and because of this fights, disagreements and arguments can normally be overcome where friendships may not be overcome, which relates back to the folk saying “you cant choose your family�. overcome most blocks that destroy other relationships when presented with the same blocks. Blocks such as age, size, intelligence social skills, achievements and so on would generally halt most relationships before they even get a chance to start, but siblings with most or all of these differences still manage to relate on an equal level. Siblings also have a ...

... low self – esteem. Children who live in one room with their entire family or who share a room with many other children lack privacy and have limited space for physical activity. As a result, they tend to become withdrawn or aggressive. Some may be unable to do homework because of the noisy environment, the lack of private space, and the presence of other children in the same room. Children who frequently change schools lack both structure and continuity in their lives, and may be unwilling to risk forming deep friendships. They experience depression as a result of leaving familiar places and people, and may fa ...
