... adoptees' lowered self-concept."(2) The internalization of these feelings of rejection, can be very difficult for anyone to overcome, especially an adopted child. Individual identity is usually derived from our natural parents. They give us a sense of who we are to be. For adoptees, this source of information is unavailable for them to draw information from. Instead, the role of their parents is now played by Yet another problem facing adoptees is the issue of intimacy. It has been thought that perhaps this is one way for the adoptee to avoid possible reenactment of previous losses. Most of the time this quality is readily observed as non-affectionate beha ...

... something to live for. Knowing that you are a VIP is important in the decision-making process. To accomplish your dreams, you must first face adversity in the eye and conquer your fears. For me personally, training to be a lawyer will take time and commitment. I must constantly look at where I am now and evaluate where I need to go from here. There will never be a time in your life where you are at the top. You must keep climbing the ladder of success. Fortunately I know that. I have a good G.P.A., but I know there is always someone smarter than me, so I continue to expand my knowledge. Also, there are many obstacles that will stand in my way. Most of the ...

... friend spent the night we watched three X-File movies and she loved them. Of course i thought it was a waste of time. Than we went to sleep and i was awakened in the middle of the night bye her about to pee in her pants because the was afraid "they" (who ever "they" is) were going to take her away.

... A first step for worldwide awareness is for people to realize that most child labor doesn’t take place in old, run-down factories, but in unregulated parts of the economy such as agriculture and domestic services. Surprising to most, even countries such as the United States still have their share of problems. In a recent awareness swap between American and Bangladesh children, both groups experienced the sight of little kids laboring in sweatshops. Although the UN wants to help, they are somewhat limited in their abilities to make dramatic changes. If they put legal restrictions, such as trade sanctions against imports from countries using child labor, it ...

... as much freedom as humans have. Although we are larger in size, we are not superior in status. Animals have been around on the earth for as long as humans, if not longer. Animals play an important role in today's society whether or not we choose to admit it. Like a newborn baby learning to play with others we must learn to share the planet with animals. One of the main issues being disputed today with animal right, is SUPERIORITY. Over 7 Billion animals die at the hands of humans, in the US, every year. Out of those 7 Billion animals, about 95% of them are killed for uses as food. Advocates for animal rights justify their research by presenting the obvious di ...

... not getting much time to herself. Being home or not with the children is not as important as creating an environment where the children can thrive and feel loved. Stay-at-home moms are often viewed as "soap-opera-watching couch potatoes" with no ambition. Rather than being praised for their decision to stay home, they often feel they need to defend it. Society talks so much about family values, yet gives little respect or value to stay-at-home moms who raise the families. In addition, stay-at-home moms find it challenging to provide a social setting for their children when being at home all day is the only stimulation they have. Furthermore, the strain of no ...

... also by burning the churches and neighborhoods of blacks. Just as Hitler and the KKK express hatred, the Skinheads are yet another group which have strong prejudices. These so called Skinheads abominate most races other than their own. White hooded silhouettes, German Soldiers echoing “Hail Hitler!”, and the infamous Skinheads are harsh reminders of hatred which exists throughout the world. In the same way that prejudices of large groups of people are expressed, hate crimes are committed to demonstrate acts of hatred. Most recent are the burning of black churches across the South. A crime of this sort shows hatred against the black race. Sometimes leading to ...
... is called The Satanic Cult, which is into some pretty weird rituals. They consisted of animal and human sacrifices and people with brown hair were forbidden and non-caucasians. There are many different gangs. Now there's one I am familiar with, the Necronomicon, who jumped me and my homeboy (who's Latino) just because we weren't white. Another one would belong to the punks. Which I do not have a problem with. The only two punk gangs I know of, do not call themselves "Gangs" but they call themselves a crew. They call themselves CFH, (Cowboys From Hell) and the other one is the Martians. A lot of the gang members come from broken homes, or ...

... the animals are forced to consume substances such as perfume, make-up and other beauty products and are often literally poisoned, their systems literally overloaded by the substance in question. Another testing method is the Lethal Dose 50 percent test or LD50. In this procedure at least half of the animals must die in order for the government to figure out how much a human can ingest without dying. In one such test some animals were fed 4. lb. of lipstick and one ended up dying of intestinal obstruction. In another, 7 pints of melted eye shadow was fed to rats. In yet another, mice were wrapped in tin foil and grilled in ultraviolet light to test a sun block c ...

... what they are doing. If you have been to a fast food restaurant lately, you can see how that reflects in the service that you get. Another method is to create a distinguished history for a company. This would include how the company was started, who founded it, accomplishments and contributions, and other bits of information that would complement a company. The media happens to be one of the most effective tools. There is a very strong love/hate relationship between corporate communicators and the media. On one hand, communicators need to get their messages out. The media also needs news to report. When communicators have a story that they want to get out, t ...
