... it. So if it’s not causing a problem at those schools, why doesn’t our school allow it? Some say that it would be a distraction to the students’ education. In reality, that probably wouldn’t be true. If everyone was allowed to dress anyway they wanted to, the student body would get used to see that sort of clothing and it would become just another part of going to school. Actually, most of the time, any problems caused due to clothing are usually due to someone stealing someone else’s expensive clothes, such as Tommy Hilfiger, which we are allowed to wear. Numerous students would also like to wear shir ...

... in mid May of this year, stated that contrary to public perception, the percentage of violent crimes committed by juveniles is low. According to one estimate, only 13% of violent crimes are committed by young people (Gallup Poll Monthly, Sept. 1994). The ACLU further suggests that the public also holds greatly inflated perceptions about the violence of today's juveniles, claiming only about 0.5% of young people commit violent crimes. (³ Crime Time Bomb,² U.S. News & World Report, March 25, 1996) Current social trends do little to contradict the dire predictions made about youth crime rates. Nearly all the ...

... attempting college. College adds 4 more years of intense work, yet knowledge learned within High School can make learning new material easier for you.

... the tests on testing "The rights of employers in testing are becoming more clear," says Philadelphia employment lawyer Jonathan Segal of Wolf, Block, Schorr & Solis-Cohen. A rash of lawsuits in the 1980s challenged the right of employers to conduct drug tests, but by now that issue has been resolved: Private employers may screen employees with preemployment testing, investigate accidents by testing those involved and conduct random drug tests. Recent litigation has focused not on whether an employer may test but on how the test is done. For preemployment screening, the ADA requires that medical exams not be d ...

... for a clear long term judgment of the person in question. The first impression is influenced by many factors, mainly the physical appearance, one's own past experiences and other peoples judgments. Indeed, first impressions are dangerous, but they are also inevitable, for it is a natural instinct that every person is born with. Take the classic cliché "You cannot judge a book by its cover." Not everything is what it seems to be. A young man who was on a quest to find himself decided to do a trek across the United States. When he reached the state of Arizona, he met up with a man in ragged clothes, messy h ...

... be. That's it. And I, for one, have reached a solution to this widespread laziness. First of all, most homeless people spend their days hunting through trash cans and dumpsters for a piece of sustenance or at least something of value. If they're not doing that, they're begging for spare change on street corners. Eventually, one would think that they should be able to afford a couple of respectable suits or other outfits to wear while applying and even working for this job of theirs. All they have to do is poke around a little longer or beg a little more, and that job would be theirs to enjoy. Keeping these ...

... a Japanese car built in the mid-nineties will have the same technology featured in new American cars. There are three categories into which this technology falls. First, older Japanese cars are equivalent to new American cars in safety features such as anti-lock brakes, airbags, and theft deterrent systems. Fuel economy has been noticeably better in Japanese made cars for many years. American cars have been slower to move from gas-guzzlers to more efficient engines. The most important difference is performance. Japanese cars were the first to offer multi-valve engines, which have only recently come available in Ame ...

... with society's opinion, expectations, gender bias and sexual attacks. Since in the early part of a woman's life, education plays a major role, the fact that most university activities relate to male students, may cause many women to loose interest in education and extracurricular activities. The Sadkers imply that financial distribution of resources points to male dominance because the male-oriented activities and clubs receive a substantially larger portion of the university funding. The interest in male sports and profit made by the university allow male athletics to acquire nearly half of the university fundi ...

... designed for one purpose - to sell. To acheive this goal, advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other - the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even if it is only the colour. These advertisments are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal truth" - the t ...

... “Male� movement. Though not as prominent in the media or politics the feminine counterpart, it has garnered a rather loyal following through the 1980's and 1990's. It focuses not on men's rights, but functions more as a male bonding experience that educates and enlightens men about their new roles. “Created in the mid 1980's, the Mythopoetic men's movement emanates from the works of Robert Bly. His view is that the men's role has lost direction. The men's gatherings are to reconstruct a valid male initiation and role model.� (Schocke) This male movement has been cautiously encouraged by women ...
