Foster Children: Happiness Or Heartbreak?
... whose lives have been touched by foster care. The amount of pain that a family can go through during foster care is insignificant when compared to what is best for the foster child or children.
The worst thing about foster families is that foster parents tend to grow attached to the children and then they are heart broken when the children are reunited with their parents. There are those who are willing to take the chance that maybe they will be able to adopt their foster children sometime in the future. However, adoption tends to be an extremely long process because sometimes it is hard to sever the biolog ...

Road Rage And Its Avoidance
... we must know what it is. Aggressive driving or road rage is defined as an incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian in response to a traffic dispute altercation or grievance. Oddly enough, this includes incidents when an angry or vengeful motorist intentionally drives his or her vehicle into a building or other structure or property. What goes through the minds of those who commit these senseless acts on our roadways? What leads up to the final crime and what eventually triggers of these people?
The psychological p ...

World Cultures: Comparing China And The United States
... mostly because of their communist government. They want to do
everything for the good of the group, or their country, the more they can help
out the better.
The government of China you probably already know, it's one of the last
communist governments left in the world. In a communist government the
government runs everything, the businesses and jobs, they pay everyone equally.
This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter
how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a
Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for
us. Peop ...

Racism By Police Officers
... have been a couple of cases where officers have stopped a black man driving his car and beaten him. Not because he’s trying to getaway or anything of that nature, but because he is black and the police officers don’t like black people. Officers have also stopped other minorities, because the police assumed that because of whom they are that they must be doing something wrong.
The police have been known to be racist towards teenagers and women also. It is less of an issue now but definitely still exists. Many male police officers don’t want women on the force and don’t believe that they can perform the job ...

Crime
... was a murder every 27 minutes. Now there is a
murder every 22 minutes. The astounding fact is in 1973 there was a violent
crime every 6 minutes but now it has increased to a murder every 16 seconds.
Crime per thousand from between 1983 and 1992 rose 9.4 percent but from 1991 to
1992 it went down 4 percent. In recent years crime has been decreasing.
Property crime, murder, robbery, and burglary have all decreased at least three
percent in recent years but that is not much. There is one exception; rape
which has gone up 3 percent. Violent crime has risen 40.9 since 1983 while in
recent years it has only gone down ...

Marriage Relationships
... should play a major role in whether or not a couple should have
sex prior to marriage. I on the other hand was a little "looser" on the
subject. I felt that it should mean something but that there was too much
emphazes being placed on serious committment.
On the subject of contraception anf family planning we had no
disagreements. We felt that before having children we must first be able
to establish ourselves financially. So once our respective careers were
settled upon we could then plan when we would have children. However,
until we did decide to have children we agreed that contraception ...

Chivalry
... were. A Christian knight had virtues of fidelity, piety, loyalty and
devotion to God. However, some knights did not live this ideal lifestyle.
(Duby)
A young boy in training to be a knight spent the first few years of his
life in care of the women in his family. At the age of 7 years old, a child of
noble birth would be placed in the castle of a lord or govenor. This is where
the training for knighthood began. As a page, the boy would be tutored in
Latin and French, but he devoted most of his time to physical exersice, and
duties. A page was educated in wrestling, tilting with spears, and milita ...

The Battle Of The Sexes
... all unable to do these jobs so they are forced to work as
secretaries, clerks, and many of the mentally demanding office jobs. There
are exceptions though such as the big 250 pound butch women and the skinny
frail men who switch roles and that is perfectly fine. This becomes a
problem when the massive dumb man wants to be a successful secretary with
his amazing eight words per minuit typing speed and the skinny little twig
woman wants to be a lumberjack. Men and women have to realize that some
jobs are meant for someone more fitting then what they are.
When god created women, he gave them the ability to hav ...

Civilize The Wilderness
... the extra room and because we cannot live in uncivilized
areas of the wilderness, at least not with all of the comforts of home.
What effects will civilizing the wilderness now have in the future? Many
questions can arise when contemplating civilizing the wilderness.
The wilderness is being civilized for one main reason. That reason
is technology. Technology plays an important role in everyone's lives
today. Without it, we would not have computers, fax machines, cellular
phones, and all of the modern conveniences that we have today. The fact is,
that many people believe that the wilderness is like an unborn ...

Friendship
... I go to stop a friend from harming my country? Well, that depends on your definition of harm. If harm means to kill or terrorize the people of my country I would not hesitate to intervene. Since I don’t believe in lethal force I would turn my friend into the FBI and let them do the dirty work. Now on the other hand, if harm means to upset the stability of my country through peaceful means I would not intervene in the least bit. Even if I don’t believe in his intents. I believe every man has the right to "harm" his country peacefully. That is what democracy is based on a country for the people and by th ...
