... reasoning supporting the claim [must be] clear, accurate, relevant, and sufficient in quantity. Advertisers assume that we have the rationality to make decisions based on the information we are given, but how can we possibly make a rational decision when much of the information is left out? Or when the information given are exaggerations or downright lies? Advertisers should also provide the greatest good to the most people, not just the greatest number of products sold to the most people. With this in mind, I’d like to discuss a few of the more abundant methods advertisers employ in order to deceive potential consumers and emphasize the features of their prod ...

... natural and that it should be legalized. I however, am opposed to this because homosexuality is not a natural alternative lifestyle. First let's define homosexuality. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, homosexuality is "having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex." Men and women are obviously biologically different. People of the same sex having intercourse goes against what is biologically natural. Part of the homosexual agenda is to make people believe that homosexuals are the same as heterosexuals when it comes to engaging in sexual behavior. This is absolutely not true. In his book **Cassel's Queer Companion, a Dictionary of Les ...

... there was racism prominent in America, the land of the free, is that the African-Americans had to sit in the back of the bus when there weren't even any white people on the bus. Rosa Parks was even arrested because she wouldn't give up her seat to a white person. She was in jail, but a year later a judge ruled against segregation. One other proof of racism is segregation in school. Almost every white school had new books and lots of luxuries the black students could only dream of. It wasn't until 1954 that segregation of schools was illegal, meaning that for all those years there was a segregation. That means they went to different schools and had differen ...

At the economy develops, the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat grows wider and eventually all the capital is controlled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone with little or no sociological background, the above paragraph has nothing to do with population as a social problem. But if you fit population into Marx's description of the capitalist system, it is more relevant than at first glance. The best way to make this point clear is to provide two hypothetical ...

... that should be mentioned are that children should leave the building quietly, even this is probably the hardest thing to do. The schools should try to teach the kids that running might get you out, but could injure or kill many more, some of them being friends or people you care for such as brother's or sister's even if they don't like them now, they'll miss them when they die. When the kids get out of the school, they should go to a selected place to wait for others and teachers to take authority. The children should then proceed to try to stay clear of the firemen and police officers that might soon arrive because of the consequences which might encounter the ...

... in a society "that has it easy." It is easy for parents of the "X-ers" to believe this because all they've know is rise. Rise in population, rise in American business, and rise in overall success. These days all jobs are taken. The jobs out there are low paying and demeaning to overqualified applicants. Left only to scrap by, it is not unusual for an "X-er" to feel "Boomer Envy" described as the "envy of material wealth and long-range material security accrued by older members of the baby boom generation by virtue of fortunate births" (Generation X, pg. 21). The fortunate thing is that "X-ers" have come to realize money is not the key to life and community and ...

... part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few ho ...
