... worlds' population expresses hate in this form, and not always toward race, but mostly towards religion, state of wealth, or a person dress. Some people try to deny that they are prejudice, while others thrive on letting everyone know. An example of this would be the Ku Klux Klan; a society organized to reassert white supremacy with terroristic methods. These people would show their prejudice by marching down city streets and by having loud outdoor campaigns and cross burnings. As time passes on so does from one generation to another, and if people do not grasp what they are doing we will continue to become more separated from each other. Everyone mus ...

... a brief biography of Marx to establish a baseline from which to view his ideas. Also, it is important to realize that in everything, humans view things from their own cultural perspective, thereby possibly distorting or misinterpreting a work or idea. Marx speaks of this saying, "Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of the conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class made into a law for all, a will, whose essential character and direction are determined by the economical conditions of existence of your class"(27). With this in mind, some perspective on the society of Marx’s time is vital. ...

... exposure. Human behavior is very complicated and can not be monitored like rats can in a laboratory. Humans will act differently in every setting and it is very difficult to get a natural response in an unnatural environment. If a person is used to viewing TV in their own home, on their own beaten up couch, their response level will be very different than it would be in an empty room with a two way mirror. Not only will their awareness level be raised, they may be more concerned in the changed viewing environment and less on the television programs. In a person's home they may watch TV with a high or low awareness level for the program. Some people choose to watch ...

... workforce, has also been a victim of strong criticism. There are several minority groups which have been the most affected, and are frecuently being denied of their unalienable rights written in the above statement of the Declaration of Independence. Within these we find several that will be discussed in this proyect: blacks, American Indians, Latinos, Asians, women, and homosexuals. These groups are faced with strong discrimanting issues every day, and as long as our society is ridden with race-based problems, we will need race-based remedies. And while we have come a long way, we still have a long way to go. In 1963 the civil rights reformation was speed u ...

... When you decide to turn down a brewsky because you believe that drinking is wrong, that is morals. When you vote to keep abortion legal, that is morals. Whether thought of or done subconsciously, morals are the basis on how you make many decisions. From where does this sense of right or wrong originate from? Freud says that moral development comes from observation of parents during the developmental stage of childhood. From childhood, then, comes the foundation for adulthood morality. A more detailed, yet similar, theory proposed by Kohlbegis that a child goes through certain stages of moral development. The first stage is very simple; the child perceiv ...

... society's expectations. You may not be as popular as a conformist, but you will probably earn more respect for standing out. Non-conformists could actually have more time and money on their hands for themselves because they don't need to spend time or money on things that will help them fit in. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson's idea, "Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist," because man is free to do whatever he wishes--we're not robots that are programmed to imitate. In other words, we have our own individual minds and personalities and we need to put our uniqueness to work. ...

... men off to fight. Rather we can just sit some of them down on a computer and do just as much damage. With computers and the viruses that go with them, people can destroy the economies of whole countries without wasting a single American life. Countries can crumble with the push of a few simple buttons on a keyboard. But to understand all of this new technology requires a great deal of knowledge. Not just anyone can sit at a computer and make a country crumble. It takes an intelligent person to even turn on a computer. No longer can America turn to just anyone off the street to help the country. So with this in mind, we strive to answer Americas call, educati ...

... of surfing, they would probably say, "Duke who?" But mention Kelly Slater and they will not stop talking. Robert Kelly Slater was born February 11, 1912 in Cocoa Beach Florida (Tomlin1). He went to high school and actually graduated. The reason I say this is because most people like Kelly (surfers knowing they are going to go professional) never graduate high school. Kelly grew up in Florida all his life. He was a local hero in central Florida, because everyone knew he was destined to make it as a professional surfer (Tee Interview). From 1992 thru 1994 Kelly placed first in the Maui Pro, second in the Maui Masters, and third place in the Rip Curl Pro, the Chiemese ...
