Race Relations In The United States
... of human dignity to
become the world’s first truly multiracial democracy?”
Is such a democracy possible? Or will our differences always come
between us? Looking around today it might seem a little odd for Clinton to
call for racial healing. “For now, no cities are burning. No divisive
events like the O.J. Simpson trial are preoccupying Americans. Among
African-Americans overall, income, life expectancy and employment have been
rising.” A Gallup poll released in early June showed that 74% of the
black respondents said they were satisfied with the way things were going
in their personal lives and also w ...

Let The Animals Go
... people.
Animals do not have a choice on whether they want to perform or not. They
are captured and forced to do what their instructors tell them which causes
the animals to live a unnatural and uncomfortable lifestyle. According to
Alison Greene, who has fought for circus animals for twenty-five years, “
there are no kind animal trainers.” (Greene). Thus, circuses should not
have the right to use animals for entertainment.
There is a high amount of abuse that lies behind the performance of
circus animals. Not only is there physical abuse, but also mental.

Welfare
... by the year 2005, only 14% of jobs will be done by more of the
dependent poor people. This is bad because 46% of aid recipients had not
completed high school or earned a General Equivalency Diploma. The ability to
absorb more welfare recipients is limited by the high- technology chemical,
agricultural, fiber and pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. These
workers would have limited skills. Monsanto is highly protecteive of the privacy
of its special new hires. The new employees are hired to fill a variety of
clerical and light general- labor positions. They will not be identified as the

Incest
... difficult for the involved to do anything about it.
The definition is both stated as wrong by law and by most religious morals.
According to psychologists, incest is defined as A- any intimate physical
contact that is sexually arousing between non-married members of a family."
(Justice, pg 25) What this is interpreted as is that sexual intercourse does not
need to occur for a situation to be considered incestuous. Stroking, fondling,
or even intimately kissing can be considered incest. This is not all true for
the law's definition. In Georgia, incest is defined as any sexual intercourse
between known relatives, b ...

Personal Writing: Living In Both Texas And New York City
... or relate with.
Although it's located in different regions, it was beneficial to experience
and to taste the variety in culture, way of life, and the school system.
I was raised in the central Manhattan of the Big Apple, the city
that never sleeps. Mass transit and people had always flooded the streets
and intersections. It seemed like everyone were heading for different
directions and the citizens of New York City are too busy with their own
affairs and does have time to care of what's going on in their surroundings.
The citizens of New York City would care less about the traffic safety and

Racism In Colleges
... In the 1800's everyone's
feelings about slavery, good or bad, culminated in one big war, the American
Civil War. During this period, the slaves really tried to break free from their
past stereotypes. A small percentage of them taught themselves to read and write
and they began to teach others.
Some blacks even fought in the Civil War. The most educated were
selected and several black units were formed. Once the North had defeated the
South in the war, the slaves were freed from bondage, however, that did not mean
that they would be free from the terrible prejudice that still permeated the
country.
Schools sprang ...

Body Modification In Today’s Society
... Those who modify, manipulate and mutilate their bodies do so for many reasons. Some say it’s simply exciting and pleasurable, or part of the latest fad. Others place it in the context of art, ritual or self-expression—they say it’s an act with cultural and social significance. In contrast, many people can’t understand why someone would choose to put so many holes in her body or cut their skin. They see body modification as self-destructive, much like anorexia or bulimia. I am a prime example of youth urge toward body modification. Below I will talk about why, what, where, and how people modify their bod ...

Working Mothers
... of working women, two models come to mind. One of which is paid
employment that has a protective and beneficial mediating effect. Employment
protects women against certain negative aspects of being full-time homemakers
and mothers, such as monotonous housework, dependence on the male partner for
financial and emotional support, increases self-esteem because they are
contributing to the world they live in. These women receive a renewed interest
in life because they are in the thick of it. They are living life to the
fullest. This model is the one that is constantly referred to as “bad” because
