.... past century. Unfair working conditions and pay prompted the formation of the Garment Worker Union. This was the first union of its kind, and helped organize campaigns demanding for shorter work weeks, fair pay, and paid holidays for the garment workers. In March of 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in Manhattan. 146 garment workers perished in the fire. Days later, 80,000 people participated in a funeral procession up 5th Avenue. This tragedy, and its enormous public response, prompted the federal government to take action and establish control over the industry. In 1938, major legislation passed under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. .....

.... Often used in the plural. [ Italian, diminutive of graffio a scratching, scribble probably from graffiare to scratch, scribble probably from Vulgar Latin *graphi³re to write with a stylus from Latin graphium stylus from Greek grapheion, graphion from graphein to write; See gerbh- in Indo-European Roots.] Usage Note: The form graffiti, based on the Italian plural, is far more common than the singular form graffito. Graffiti is often used as a singular noun. When the reference is to a particular inscription (as in There was a bold graffiti on the wall), the form graffito would be etymologically correct but might strike some readers as pedantic outside an arc .....

.... coats, and other products. It has been proven though, that other products can be used in place of sealskins and pelts but still the slaughter continues. There is also the claim that seals are contributing to the depletion of the cod stock due to high fish consumption. The validity of the above accusation is easily measured. With the collapse of the Canadian cod stock, it would be natural to expect the seal population to plummet, if in fact they were devouring as much cod as is claimed. However, since the cod have disappeared, the seal population has remained stable in its numbers. Seals have become a scapegoat, rather than over fishing by humans. Seale .....

.... Without the close knit, small town mentality, people, especially kids, aren’t governing themselves as carefully. The Code of Social and Family Responsibility in New Zealand was created to tighten the gap between parents and children. While that is a definite step in the right direction, more needs to be done. The reason Thomas Jefferson was so moral was because he understood morality and was able to recognize immorality. We all need to step back and learn from ourselves. Everyone should examine their own faults and try to change them. We all know stealing is wrong, but some of us do anyway. We need to ask ourselves why and then understand we need to stop. Othe .....

.... and straw. Their roofs were made of thick wooden shingles, which were held down with heavy stones or logs. Nowa houses have no chimneys. The smoke from the fire hole, which is used for cooking and heats the floor of the main room, escapes through a hole in the roof above the kitchen. This nowa house is located in the mountains of Kangwon Province. Nowa houses are rare today. Not long ago thatched houses dotted the countryside throughout Korea. Today most thatched houses are found in "folk villages," living museums where traditional Korean culture is preserved. Many thatched-roof houses have simple fences made of sticks or stones. The walls of th .....

.... day; then monitor the test subject to see how it reacts to certain things. Testosterone not only affects behavior but also responds to it. The act of competing for dominant status affects testosterone levels in two ways. First, testosterone rises in the face of a challenge, as if it were an anticipatory response to impending competition. Second, after the competition, testosterone rises in winners and declines in losers. Of greater importance are the facts that Sapolsky states in his essay that leads one to wonder if “testosterone equals ” or if “ equals testosterone.”1 He says that numerous studies have been done to figure it out; but have never been able .....

.... life, and in simulated life situations. Social roles are not fictitious, it is in fact a very real occurrence that many people deal with ever day, whether it be with them selves or with other individuals. The Prison Simulation, studied by Haney, Banks & Zimbardo is quite impressive as to how extensive the study actually is. Due to lack of length in this paper the synopsis dealing with this study will be brief. The experiment consisted of 24 voluntary men who were divided into two groups: Guards and Inmates. Both groups were given uniforms to encourage their roles in the prison scenario. The subjects immediately began to take on rolls as to how they .....

.... of values and ethics…” states a foreman for the Society of Professional Journalists (“Code of Ethics” 1). According to the SPJ, each individual in the media is aware of their code of ethics. An important ethical concern of the society is that journalists need to be accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers, and each other. They are responsible to “test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error” (1). The society does not permit the deliberate misuse of information. Not only that, but “unethical practices of other journalists…should be uncovered and exposed .....
