Although most gang members find popularity, it often means losing close friends to rival gangs. Another crucial factor is the need for money.

They may have been in the past, but women have started to break through the barriers men have put up, and being successful at doing so. This revolution had been known as womanpower. Men still believe that women should obtain jobs like secretaries and nurses instead of being the bosses or the doctors. It is hard on any man's ego to have a woman in a superior position to them or to have a wife bring home a higher income than he, but they seem to be more understanding to the situation. However, women have not taken this into consideration. They feel that they have been below the a ...

It is the thought that a life is the ultimate price to pay which fuels this argument. The delineation between adults and juveniles is much less clear on this point. Age doesn't seem to make much of a difference when dealing with restitution. Putting an individual to death seems to put the minds of certain individuals at ease. This argument is wha ...

A cow "has a natural life span of twenty- five to thirty years, but only survives for an average of five".1 An estimated "seventeen million raccoons, beavers, bobcats, lynx, coyotes, muskrats, nutria, and other animals are trapped each year in the United States for fur".2 They suffer from unbearable pain for several hours before their lives are ended by the trapper's club. Is the price of live worth the price of fur? Psalm 104, 27-30.

... civilizations were in the way of this goal. They pushed multiple Indian tribes into small reservations. This caused an unwelcome blend of cultures. The government officials, in attempt to break up the Indian tribe, passed the Allotment Act. This act broke the Indian tribes into individuals. It allotted small parcels of land to Indians. Many settlers adopted Indian children to obtain their land. This act, not only destroyed the tribal system, but also damaged the lives of many Indians. Indian children were often sent to boarding schools. These schools robbed them of their culture. It encouraged the Indians to be ashamed of their heritage. This later cau ...
