.... of programs. (1) Structured, easy to understand programming has been around since the late 60's. These advances allowed programmers to write fairly complex programs relatively easy using such languages as C and Pascal. However, once a program reached a certain size it was just too complex to manage. In 1980 at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, Bjarne Stroustrup developed a new programming paradigm. (2) His new concept was built on structured programming and incorporated a few new powerful ideas. Some of the more noteworthy include Classes, Polymorphism, overloading, and inheritance. C itself is a powerful language to begin with. C++ builds on .....

.... being a good sport is just being a good loser, but it also has to do with being a good winner. For example, when my basketball team wins a game, we always give a cheer for the losing team. We also line up at mid-court and congratulate them for a good game. While we were able to beat the other team today, they are all good basketball players and the next time we play them, they might beat us. To me, it doesn't really matter who wins the game. I just want to play in a great basketball game. The American Heritage Dictionary defines as, "an act in which one abides by the rules of a contest and accepts victory or defeat graciously." All those in athletics are .....

.... Bible that each of these cultures has given to it a myth of their own, whether the writers of the Bible use them as references or the basis to some of their tales is unknown; but one can see the parallels from the very beginning. First, one has to understand the people of the era of which we are talking about. To get a clear picture of the way the Book of Genesis may have been formed, we must place it somewhere in time, and then define the cultures of that time. The influences must be explained, and then we may draw our conclusions. If we trace back to the first appearance of the Bible in written form, in its earliest translation, we arrive at approximately 4 .....

Sex education was introduced to help solve the problem of STDs and teen pregnancies by giving teenagers real facts and correct information about sex. Teenagers can therefore make wise and safe choices about sex. However, there are major flaws in sex education. While it is extremely important to educate teenagers about sex and sexuality, putting sex education in the American educational system in not the correct solution.

.... has towards his attitude about family and heritage. Rodriguez is without a doubt a very talented student. His ability to learn is enviable. Many times I would wish that I were able to get into my academics as much as he was into his. For example, while in high school, my English class was reading several plays by Shakespeare. With all the difficult words and hard to follow story lines, it would have been extremely helpful to have been able to go through the plays willingly, and with enthusiasm. Instead, I read it because I had to, for fear of getting a bad grade. On the contrary, Rodriguez actually enjoyed schoolwork. He tells us, “…. any book they (t .....

.... education would influence the nation’s democratic values while preserving individual liberties. In the 1950’s the Truman Commission on Higher Education remarked that the purpose of higher education was to promote “ equal liberty and equal opportunity to differing individuals and groups, and to enable citizens to understand their responsibilities as citizens of a free society.” Society in general associates the major emphasis of higher education with getting a good job and increasing income. A survey conducted by the American Council on Education found that obtaining a job is by far the most important benefit that individuals associate with going to college. I .....

What I especially like, is that the class one belongs to doesn’t have to do with the class of your parents, but more with what your aptitudes are. This allows people to do what they are good at which usually translates into people being more productive for the community. To keep this ordered, Plato has set up the Myth of the Metals. The Myth of the Metals states that when people are created they have one of four different types of metals in them. A person who has gold in them is destined to become a Ruler, .....

.... of the electrical impulses, hormones, and chemicals flowing through the body can effect behavior and how changes to these bodily functions can change behavior. They are concerned with how the aspects of biology effect peoples' emotions, learning abilities, and their perception of events. One of the major theories of biological psychology is that "We cannot know ourselves if we do not know our bodies." Through application of this theory, biological psychologists strive to understand the relationship between the mind and body and they influence sickness or health. It is believed that poor health can lead to negative attitudes while poor attitudes can lead to p .....
