... may become worse. Imagine what you would feel like if you couldn't get a job just because you are a white man and not a hispanic man. The racism will become worse because of it, and that is the very thing it is trying to prevent. It is possible that because of affirmative action, racism will grow and continue to grow until we history repeats itself and we end up living under Jim Crow laws again. That is an extreme possibility to end up und er Jim Crow laws again, but it is a definite possibility to end up somewhere close to Jim Crow laws again. In addition to that, people say affirmative action is ok because it cures past discrimination (Keyes 1996, 1). Discrim ...

... in the industrialised countries think these charity aids are needless, because the government donates a share of its budget to help the developing countries. Yet governments cut their foreign aid, the multinational companies take even higher adventage of the cheap labour force in the developing countries and if , after all, people think the future will offer equal chances for everybody without any help from the rich, awakening from this fantasy is needed. The information the media give is inadequate, therefore people should obtain information spontaneously. Yet, common people find it frustrating, if the information is not very easy to obtain. Like people w ...

... did not understand. In the latter case, the hatred may increase with understanding, but the object of the hatred has shifted. We are given a wide range of paths for dealing with our hatred, from the altruistic to the reactionary. The altruists, wishing peace without societal discord, tell us to repress our hatred and replace it with love, a path bound eventually for emotive explosion and breakdown. The diametric path gives us a series of smaller explosions with promise of emotional stability as a result of constant expulsion of malefic urges. Neither of these, or combinations thereof, are terribly productive ways in which to deal with hate, as even t ...

... The continued advancement of science created what is known as the industrial revolution. This is where our over consumption began. We were now able to drill into the earth and extract unrenewable resources and make them into many new products. This attitude of power and control over the resources of the earth has lead us to think of ourselves as the most important part of nature. We took what the earth had to offer, and there was no one to stop us. Speciesism is the exploitation of plants and animals. At first, we feared animals but once we domesticated animals we gained a sense of power and dominance. We now view animals as commodities, curiosities, an ...

... long time explaining to me that not everybody had the same life as our family did. Some kids parents didn't have jobs to go to every day, or cars to take them wherever they needed to go, and not every family in the world had breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. He told me that I was very lucky to have all the things that I had, and that millions of kids in the world would die to have the life I had. I was still very confused about the whole situation. Why wasn't every family like ours? What did those people do wrong? My dad just said that was life . . . some people are lucky, and some people aren't. At first, I thought that all poor people were the same, ...

... Hippies came from many different places and had many different All Hippies were young, from the ages of 15 to 25 (Worldbook). They left their families and did it for many different reasons. Some rejected their parents' ideas, some just wanted to get away, and others simply were outcasts, who could only fit in with the Hippie population. "Under 25 became a magical age, and young people all over the world were united by this bond" (Harris 15). This bond was of Non-conformity and it was the "Creed of the Young" (Harris 15). Most Hippies came from wealthy middle class families. Some people said that they were spoiled and wasting their lives away. But to Hippies themse ...

... (Brooks 439). Where women are touched more by emotions because that's their nature obviously doesn't offend men, so why should we as men apologize for following our natural animal drives? The female body is without a doubt a marvel to behold. The curves, the build, and the fact that there is just so much variety is unreal. I believe that anyone who says that the first impression they get of a person isn't collected from a visual standpoint has to be lying. No matter how wrong it may seem to be to some, women have been dressing in short skirts, low cut blouses, and tight jeans for some time. What's was the reason behind it all? To impress us men, to mak ...

... this essay is that you must respect yourself for anyone to respect you. Both essay's rely on self respect to relate to the rites of passage in today's society. Peer pressure is a very major dilemma in that friends or peers try to get a person to do what they, the majority, like and not what the individual likes. Peers create some of the so-called rites, then when one follows more start to follow, then it becomes the scenario of the lemmings following their leader off of the face of a cliff. Some teens think that drinking is a passage into adulthood because the law states you must be 21 to drink . The logic of some teens then indicates that if you drink yo ...

... philosophy is predicted on the belief that achieving these goals requires that police departments develop a new relationship with the law-abiding people in the community, allowing them a greater voice in setting local police priorities and involving them in efforts to improve the overall quality of life in their neighborhoods. It shifts the focus of police work from handling random calls to solving community problems. The Community Policing philosophy is expressed in a new organizational strategy that allows police departments to put theory into practice. This requires freeing some patrol officers from the isolation of the patrol car and the constant demands of th ...

... wrong to others, but that is the beauty of love, it is available to all. Romance is therefore a relative thing. The fact is that romantic love, is a different thing to different people. To me, romance is a fleeting thing. It is a step towards a better thing, towards love that isn't physical. Romance epitomizes the best and worst of love. It is a thing that I at once desire and despise. The other definition of love is the fraternal love of others. A person loves their family, and their friends. This kind of love is more common. Every one is familiar with this sort of love. For example, a child usually loves his or her parents. This part of love has also been writte ...
