Here is an example of Gatsby over talking a subject. “I am the son of some wealthy people in the middle-west--- all dead now. I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. It ‘s been a family tradition”(pg.69). After he says this to Nick.

... isn't right to cause pain, suffering, and certain death to animals just for our benefit. Many scientists also agree that this experimental procedure was wrong but only because primates have higher intelligence. I don't think it is right for any animal of high or low intelligence, to suffer that way. In other laboratories animals are confined to small cages or locked up so that thay can't move. They are then used to test cosmetics and household chemicals. They have chemicals poured on to their eyes and skin to see if they cause irritation. These experiments would hurt the animals by causing burns and evn blinding them sometimes. I don't think it is right to hol ...

... perception of the world. That of course does not mean that parents are affected less by the TV. On the contrary, they are often more affected than their kids, of course not by cartoons, but by shows that contain information about serious subjects such as parenthood. Concerned with being good parents, people are accumulating a lot of information on the subject. As the information can be very helpful, sometimes it can be destructive. That is the case when it comes to the problem of "tomboys" and "sissies." What are these two terms used for?

If this is what is determeined as equality then women were getting the short end of the stick and men were receiving all of the benifit. This perception still holds strong today, although not as strongly. Men said that women were to fragile to vote. Yet no man has ever experienced labor pains. Furthermore no man has fought any battle that was as hard as the one the famous five women have fought.
