... the Lecompton Constitution made some rationalizations look weak and rash in concept. With the South's slavery dependent and fragile economy, Southerners were ready to fight for their survival with whatever means were necessary. Proslavery whites launched a defensive against slavery which explained the "peculiar institution" as a positive good, supported, in fact, by the sacred words of the Bible and the philosophy of the wise Aristotle. The moral and biblical justification surrounding their belief that the relations between slave and man, however admitting to deplore abuses in it, was compatible with Christianity, and that the presence of Africans on American s ...

... people's names and how to focus on that person. I also was taught how to take steps outside of my comfort zone, and speak in front of others on a variety of different topics. In turn, I learned how to listen to other people and react to them in a friendlier way. Dale Carnegie reiterated this quote in his book The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking. "Expressiveness is the result of earning the right and having an eager desire to share the message with the audience." Basically, he taught me to be myself, put my heart into everything I say, make my voice be heard, and be honest with myself and others. I hated everything about this course while I was atte ...

... to a family splitting up due to cultural differences. A major and unpleasant cause of divorce is unfaithfulness between spouses. When one spouse commits adultery it can easily and quickly tear up a marriage. This could be due to lack of trust, lost of interest, or the cheating spouse choosing the "new" love. Being in this situation for either partner is never easy and when children are involved, the situation only becomes worse. Sometimes with counseling it can be worked through, but when it is not fixable deep hurt feelings are left behind for the innocent spouse to deal with. When a young couple has fallen in love, often they will think that they are w ...

... in the scene all aid to create a potentially dangerous situation. When in bondage, the struggles and wriggles of your partner desperately trying to escape your teasing might tighten a rope of poor quality and/or singularly tied around a wrist, creating major veins to stop circulating . The danger might not even seem obvious until it is too late. It is possible though highly unlikely that one could lose the usage of one's hands. Often in SM sex, extremely intimate information is given to your partner, for example a fantasy. If the fantasy involves play that mainstream American society might not find acceptable, a deeper level of trust would most likely be neces ...

... mass had a considerable higher attendance than did the English mass. Also the appearance of the manner of dress. The attendees of the Spanish mass were more formally dressed than those of the English mass. Another major difference was in the music. The English mass had the "traditional" European "angelica" type singing. The Spanish mass, however, had more upbeat music, along with the use of "traditionally" Carribean instruments like maracas, for example. What does this suggest about the religious community of Puerto Rican Americans? I think that it is a balance between assimilation and preserving the culture. I think it is obvious that Roman Catholicism was ...

... job to stay home and tend to the house, and never leave, unlike they did in the play, the women were shown as revolutionaries rising up against the men, women in classical Greece were never like that. The activities of women in Classical Athens were confined to "bearing children, spinning and weaving, and maybe managing the domestic arrangements. No wandering in the beautiful streets for them." The suppression of women went so far as to divide the house into separate areas for males and females. While the women stayed home, the men were usually out fighting, and when they weren't fighting, they were entertaining their friends and having sexual favors perf ...

... is a serious problem and there has to be something done to keep the violence at a respectable level. There are strong statistics about the amount of television watched by the public and the amount of violence that is shown on television. Such statistics highlight the potentially strong influence TV can have on those who watch it. It is believed that people learn by imitating what they see, and children are particularly receptive to such learning (Freedman 96). Based on the research I've done I feel children model things they see and learn their aggressions from family members and from television. Therefore TV violence is a cause of aggressive behavior. Televisi ...

... All humans have the power to communicate with other humans, interact, and share their ideas. The power of speech is what makes it all possible. Communication is the most important thing in the success of a relationship, and for someone to say that they love another is to respect them and their ideas and to want to share with them. The most anyone can ever do for you is listen, and the only way to do that is to communicate that you want to be listened to and that you are willing to listen to the one you love. That is the most anyone can do, and it is a gift of sorts. What is the greatest thing about human love? Being in love gives a sense of compl ...

It can sometimes take as long as twenty years before they see their sibling. They have missed all those wonderful years of growing up, laughing and playing as brother or sister. If the child is at the age at knowing what’s going on, then it’s probably going to be hard for them to adjust to a new family. It could cause them to have problems in school, getting into trouble, and not making friends. The man lies to a woman. He tells her everything’s going to be okay and he’ ...

... dual earning families. (Ramu 26) In light of the fact that the majority of two parent families in the 1990's have also become dual wage earning families, it is important to examine the effects of such a phenomenon on society in general and on child rearing in particular. Children acquire their goals, values and norms based on the way that they view or identify with their parents as well as from the quality and amount of care, love and guidance given to them by their parents. Parents who work present a different image to their children than parents who do not work. In addition, wage earners, including parents, must (in most cases), be absent from the home during th ...
