... were looking to their dominatrix for; and by them humiliating, beating and subduing them the customer attained a feeling of what they felt was love, something that had probably been lacking since early childhood. Aggression for the most part was released by the mistress who, in my opinion, also needed that release of a basic instinctual drive -- Aggression. This was probably fueled by a subdued hatred for men or to attain that feeling of power one gets when they conquer something. Another issue is the cathartic effect this type of expression has as a means for deterring non-consensual sexual activity. This statement was illustrated best by the man who had ps ...

... someone. People argue that we need to start making it hard for teens to watch violent movies, and make it harder to buy a gun, but I do not think that will change anything in our society. The harder we make it for someone to get something, the harder they will try to get it without anyone knowing about it. People are always looking to put the blame off on other people or something other than themselves. If people would stop blaming movies and start trying to help their kids, our society will improve. But taking the easy way out seems to be the way society looks at everything, because they figure if they look the other way they cannot be blamed, when in all ...

... Vancouver has been a booming economy and social tension. With greater understanding and awareness on both sides we can alleviate the social tensions. Introduction There is a school in Vancouver which is offering a four year immersion programme to its students.

The programme was voted in by parents who believed the Mandarin language to be more important to their children's futures in Vancouver than French. This situation shows quite effectively the transition which is taking place in C ...

... exists certain seals which were the rubber O-rings. The objective of the O-rings is to act as a seal that is meant to prevent gases from escaping through the Solid Rocket Booster. One of the main reasons for the explosion was that O-ring "flexed" and let the gases escape, which in less than seconds later, caught fire and created the explosion. Among the other minor problems were those of electrical problems and faulty gages which were just "overlooked" because the problems were only minor and they posed no real threat to the safety of the mission or the crew of seven(7). 11:39:17am, Tuesday, January 28th, 1986.

... B. Johnson issued Executive Order #11246 at Howard University that required federal contractors to undertake affirmative action to increase the number of minorities that they employ. He wanted to ensure that minorities are recruited to have real opportunities to be hared and then eventually get a promotion. In 1969, the Department of Labor exposed widespread racial discrimination of the Construction Department so President Richard M.

... An example may be picking up your opponent when she falls on the ground, or patting them on the back while your team is going through the handshake at the end of a game. This season, my team and I lost the championship game of a tournament. After the other team received their trophies, my coach told me to go and shake their hands. I looked at him twice to see if I heard him correctly, because I am a competitor and after a loss, I am not too happy. Though, I shook their hands. Afterwards, I was proud of myself, and the incident gained me respect from my opponents and the people in the stands. Sportsmanship is pleasant to see. It shows that athletes hav ...

At first glance, this seems like a good idea because a large portion of underage drinkers, mainly college students, would now no longer be underage and would be able to drink legally. Problem solved, or is it? According to Reginald Smart, in 1971 the Canadian province of Ontario lowered its drinking age from 21 years to 18 years, thinking this would help alleviate its underage drinking problem. At first, the new age law seemed to be working. Soon, bar owners complained because the young drinkers scared off the abov ...

What difference does it make whether a person is male or female, gay or straight, black or white? Some believe that simply being a certain gender or creed makes them superior to everyone else. Some white supremacist groups think they are so privileged to be able to decide the fate of several thousand people. It is important to realize these groups have the potential to cause serious bodily harm to people against this power. Today, all it takes for an enemy of the “White Power” to be hunted ...
