... is allowing for a proportionate tax to be placed on people. In the United States alone there are over 250 million people living in homes. The government should make it so every month each household must pay a dollar per person living in that residence. The money made from this should be given to the poor in forms of programs and financial aid. Another way the government can help better the people is to tax people according to how much money they earn. If a person makes over a certain level of income then the government should make it mandatory to donate so much of their money to a charity that can help people less fortunate. For instance, Bill Gates is t ...

... of not being accepted by men. Advertisers, by setting ideals, not only sell their products, but in fact reaffirm traditional gender roles in mainstream America. Women portrayed in sexual ads are depicted as objects and commodities, to be consumed by men for visual pleasure and by women for self-definition. Any depiction of a woman in scant clothing ultimately makes her look vulnerable and powerless, especially when placed next to a physically stronger man. Studies show that advertisements will concentrate primarily on a woman's body parts rather than her facial expressions. Also, it was proven that over 50% of commercials portraying women contained at least one cam ...

... say that this is a good action. But if I would have not help the old lady at that time we can define it as an evil action. As I stated earlier if we consider it from experience point of view, there is a manual to follow. So we can't really say that the action that we take is good or evil. This is because we're following a standard universal protocol. Our actions are already set for us. We just have to follow them only. So this can actually lead a person to doubt . Another point of view that can lead us to doubt would be the considerations that we take in. This I can say that the person would be very skeptical for everything. This is because there is no set of goo ...

... with problems other than words. The arts can relate very closely to everyday language. I believe that any spoken language helps to convey one's thoughts, but everyone thinks in a different way. For example, in order to speak to a non-English speaking person and clearly convey a message, both people need to know the basics of the same language. Associating this concept with the arts, it would be as difficult to communicate a concept of the arts with someone who is not educated in the arts. Another example would be that many foreigners sing American songs using their interpretation of our language. The arts are a language of their own. People understand ...

Obviously she sided with the Greeks and would stop at no length to express her will. Scheming and manipulating she even dared to trick her husband, King of the Gods. Hera, along with Athena, who was also passed over by Paris, is seen as the chief divine aid to the Greeks. Being the god of the sea, Poseidon was another strong supporter of the ocean-faring Greeks. Whenever Zeus turned his back Poseidon tried to help the Greeks in the fight. Poseidon felt that he was somewhat Zeus's equal as his brother, but recognizing Zeus's authority and experi ...

... and a table. Food Lion has excellent beer pong cups for a cheap price. Any sporting goods store carries Ping-Pong balls. Pieces of plywood on some cinder blocks work for a good table.

... he justifies it to himself that he too could also tear a limb from a tree and uses it as a makeshift lance. When Sancho asks if Don Quixote had any pain, he replies, “I do not complain of the pain…because a knight errant is not allowed to complain of any wounds”(69-70). Again, Don Quixote is going by a set of rules of chivalry that he obtained from his reading. At night, Don Quixote refuses to sleep “but thought about his Lady Dulcinea, to conform to what he had read in his books about knight errants spending many sleepless nights in the woodland and desert dwelling on the memory of their ladies”(70). I do not believe that Don Quixote is mad, as some may say, bu ...

Once the leader knows the point of confidence vs. competence in his or her followers, he or she will know which factor to build on. When the leader feels they have successfully motivated their followers to be both very confident and competent, and that the followers are ready and have the responsibility to lead themselves to their goal, then they know that at that point, the followers are ready to accept some leadership themselves. Once the followers are ready for some leadership of their own, the next problem at hand becomes how to ...
