Through the systematic development of the theories of psychoanalysis, al stemming from one another and all tied together into a universal Oedipal complex and religious illusion, the ideas of the tripartite human psyche and wishfullfillment the Freud developed came under fire from critics for their controversial messages and analysis. Briefly stated, the Oedipus complex is the preservation in the adult individual of the perceptions, strategies and scars of a confl ...

... the commitment of marriage, and only within the context of marriage. In this one verse there are two very important principles: Marriage is to be the ONLY context for sexual intimacy. Eve was Adam's wife - not his girlfriend, his mistress, or a casual acquaintance. He was married to her. Children are to be conceived ONLY within the sexual intimacy of marriage. When Adam and Eve had sex, they created a baby. Now certainly that doesn't mean that the first time they had sex they created Cain. It means that the outcome of their sexual relationship was a child. Those two statements of principle about marriage may seem obvious, but most of the world doesn't live by the ...

... a less violent society. The assumption is that without a catalyst (violent programming), violent behaviour will be less prevelant. I can see how one might think this way; 1. chilren appear to behave more violently than their parents did as children. 2. Today's television has more violent shows, both in abundance and degree. There appears to be a simple causation there. It may be just a corelation. American television networks operate on the supply and demand curve just like any other industry. There has to exist a demand for violent programming first. The demand for violent programming leads to the broadcasting of such programs, but do violent shows lead to viol ...

... four produce ninety percent of all sitcoms and films. This exclusive possession of the market distorts social reality and gives misleading perceptions by fluffing the "truth" and never revealing a negative side. Commercials are a primary focus in advertising. The idea of "selling the American Dream" and "buying is the answer to fulfillment" is what corporations aim for in distributing their goods. The way they go about catching one's attention is through emotional association between the viewer and the product. Reaching the consumer is a task in itself. Sex, happiness and upper class values are often used to do so, which becomes rather repetitive but seems t ...

... that someone else could not therefore they are not equal. The only possible way to mold our language towards an egalitarian society would be to outlaw certain words and phrases. This law would be virtually impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people, not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal word was said and issue a ticket of some form, as in the movie Demolition Man. Ironically, if this was to happen, we still would not be living in an egalitarian society because our gov ...

... morning "getting-up" process, thus reducing tardiness in school that I know is a problem in my first period class. The enforcement of uniforms will relieve the tension between the new students and the students that are already there. The uniforms will expedite the process of making new friends for the new student since the uniforms will help the new student feel a sense of "belonging". This helps the majority of the school becoming friends with each other. This obviously helps the class and also the school as a whole, as there will be less fights and controversy between students. Uniforms will build a sense of unity within the school. The stu ...

... follow these religions truly have nothing to fear, because all that science does is bring us closer to the truth, and the real God himself. Religions that stay stubbornly solid on their beliefs against science try to ignore this progress and insist on staying primitive. In other words, they refuse to move on with their lives like the rest of the world. This quote might also be implying that maybe God created science and evolution and therefore created the universe utilizing science. It is plainly stated every day, "God works in mysterious ways," and therefore he did not just want to make things appear like life forms and the universe itself. Instead, he create ...

There is honestly NOTHING to do in Tuscarwaras County. If you have money in the winter you can bowl, watch a High School basketball game, go to the YMCA, see a movie, go shopping, drive around, experiment with make-up and different types of clothes, get on the Internet, and watch TV. With no money in the winter, we can watch TV, get on the Internet, vandalize, steal , try to bum cigarettes and other such things. The reason the police log is so long every morning is not because kids are heathens, it’s because we are bored. ...

The real world is lying right under there feet. We are starting to believe that the poor will always be with us, its something we must learn to live with. So we build more prisons and hire more police to protect us from the underclass. Unfortunately we forgot to ask ourselves a very important question, is that the way to cooperate with the poor? It is not there fault that they were born penniless, but it is our fault for abandoning them from our lives and pushing them away from living a happy life. We we ...

However, the higher the proportion of minority members in a group, the more likely they are to be successful. She also suggested that the presence of female students in a male dominated law school tend to affect their achievements. She also claimed that minority students are perceived as “tokens” or symbols and not as individuals. There are three main characteristics of a “token student” that can be explained as forms of social pressure. First, they are highly visible, thus they face performance demands that can be met by over achievin ...
