.... I went crying to my mother and she had no sympathy for me. She only said, "You shouldn't have touched it." She understood. I didn't. She was greek. I wasn't. It's over 20 years later. Now I understand. I began to understand on a rainy Sunday night in April when I became a Sphinxman, when I became a pledge. That process altered my life forever. The process of pledging a fraternity. The idea of a fraternity is neither a recent nor a unique idea. The motivation behind what is modernly called fraternity has been around for thousands of years. Derived from the French word for "brotherhood," it is a concept that can be traced to as far back to the building of the .....

.... Take romance, I've tried to follow the advice, but my outcome has not been successful. I know other people who have tried, and their outcome has been the same. Take their quizzes, then tell me that you do all that stuff. If you know me, then tell me how often I wear bellbottom pants, or platform shoes, or pink make-up, or little shirts that fit me. For those of you who don't know me, I can tell you right now, I wouldn't be caught dead in that stuff. That takes me to the clothes the models sport. How many girls in this society are actually that skinny? It's actually kind of sick. I think they should widen their models to all sizes and shapes. .....

.... was easier then once thought. When at sea, the ships depended mainly on the wind and the ship's large woolen sail for power. On rivers, rowers powered the ship. A Viking warship had between fifteen to over thirty pair of rowers. Not all Viking ships were war ships. Some were used to carry livestock or large cargoes of other merchandise to trade. They carried a crew of fifteen to twenty men. These ships were deep and wide and fifty- four feet long. They sailed through the ocean mostly by the sails and not much by rowers. Early Viking navigators depended on the sun and the stars, but by the 900's they developed a system to figure out which direction th .....

.... civilized society, and that he had been treated as any other citizen would have come to expect. Now that the laws didn't suit him, was it fit for him to ignore them? Crito, in vain, tries to dissuade him. Socrates compares the laws of the state to a father/mentor figure: The state says that all of the laws and statutes have protected him and raised him. His parents were married by the law, and the same saw to it that he was educated. Now the state says "Is it alright for you, who thinks so much of virtue, to destroy us?" Socrates is wise to see that he would be contradicting not only himself, but he would betray the examples he was trying to set to his foll .....

.... among the Kalapalo. The area in which the Kalapalo live is in the northeastern Mato Grosso state called Upper Xingu Basin. There are four unintelligible languages by groups in this region. This makes the Upper Xingu Basin linguistically diverse, but with many of the groups still sharing the same social and ideological features. It is very difficult to trace back the origins of Kalapalo life because of the integration of the many different and culturally diverse groups in the Upper Xingu Basin. So, many of systems of kinship classification, marriage practices, ceremonial organizations, status allocation, and religious beliefs are consistent with cultural r .....

.... in limited mobility for poor people and those concentrated in central cities. Over the past decades, automobile production and highway construction have multiplied, while urban mass transit systems have been dismantled or allowed to fall into disrepair. The end result has meant more pollution, traffic congestion, wasted energy, urban sprawl, residential segregation, and social disruption. All communities have not received the same benefits from transportation advancements and investments. Some of the governmental policies in housing, land use, environment, and transportation may have even contributed to and exacerbated social inequities. Some communities accru .....
