... competitive acts going on. Tests are competitions, sporting events are competitions. In the work force, everyone is striving to become the “head honcho”. To do this these workers must compete with each other ( although not a conventional “direct competition” ) to gain the praise of their supervisor; thus increasing their chances of moving forward. Next, look at the way a cooperative nation would operate. The entire system of employment, money, education, etc. would have to be completely revamped. Instead of trying to surpass someone at something, you would help that person come to your level. Everyone would have an equal opportunity to education, a jo ...

... century, facing schisms and heresies, and seeking to consolidate its power, the Catholic Church institutionalized marriage, confirming it as a sacrament and requring that a priest officiate-a crucial step in the intrusion of organized religion into what had previously been a private transaction (266). So instead of just having any person marry a couple you now have to have a priests officiate the couple. This is another issue that makes a marriage more difficult besides the gender issue.

... theory and the Marxist theory as the cause of Gangs. Akers’ social learning theory addresses the forces of the media, theater, and drugs. Akers’ social learning theory states that criminal and delinquent behavior are acquired, repeated, and changed by the same process as conforming behavior. It also addresses four major concepts of differential association, definitions, differential reinforcement, and imitation. It goes on to say that this process will more likely produce behavior that violates social and legal norms than conforming behavior when persons differentially associate with those who expose them to deviant patterns, when the deviant pattern is differ ...

... arms oppose requiring a permit for concealed carry, and prefer a permitless system like that of the state of Vermont, which simply punishes misuse of guns, rather than restricting their lawful use. Restricting the ability of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms on their own property, and in defense of their homes and families, punishes them before they have even done anything wrong. In 1990, guns, which gun control supporters claim are "designed only to kill," were involved in about 1,400 accidental deaths, 18,800 suicides, and 13,600 murders, for a total of 33,800 firearm-related deaths. There are more than 200,000,000 firearms in private hands in the U ...

At Christmas 1916 all rebel prisoners who had been interned without trial, those that the British had considered insignificant, were released as a goodwill gesture to the United States which had been very angry by British conduct regarding the rebels.

... 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 their children. 'Harsh/intrusive' mothers are excessively harsh and constantly badger their child to behave. Despite the fact that these mothers humiliate and disapprove of their child, there are times when they hug, kiss or speak to them warmly. This type ...
