.... the disparity. It will then consider the affects and explore possible solutions to the expanding problem. The Imprisoned Black Youth Black communities throughout the U.S. are witnessing the institutionalization of their youth. Of course institutionalization is nothing new to Afro-Americans, it is something Blacks have faced since their existence in this country. In the beginning Blacks were forced into the institution of slavery. After the abolition of slavery Blacks faced institutional racism, that is, racism legitimated by the whole of society directed against the few of society. As a facet of that institutional racism Blacks are now forced to persevere th .....

.... and that people are spending an increasing number of years in retirement, which places strains on the system. Critics say most Americans now choose to retire early, and that it would be hard for some people to find good jobs or to work beyond the current retirement age because of their health or the nature of their jobs. On the revenue side, some people believe that the income limits on which taxes are paid should be higher. They say that the current earnings limit of $72,600 in 1999 allows wealthier Americans to avoid paying taxes on some of their income. Critics say that is supposed to be a foundation for retirement planning. If wealthier people contrib .....

.... given the talents of even this writer, to name a clear victor. Scholars and philosophers for years have attempted to do so, yet no gender has ever been definitely identified. However, the clear victor here should be the female. From start to finish, with a layover at child birth, women tend to live easier lives. Men run the government. Men go to war. Men encounter more obligation inside and out of the family. When looking at specific instances, life may equally challenge the two. Both must acquire food. It is noteworthy that men generally eat more than women. United States law mandates that both complete a certain amount of schooling. Both must toil t .....

.... hello IBM, satellites, and laser technology. Earlier generations had no idea of what electronics could provide. The strongest country in the world was the one with the most men. Then came guns, then nuclear weapons, and finally computers. No longer do we need to send most of our country's 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 r .....

.... space stations. This will lessen strain on the world's land resources by providing more agricultural area, and will help solve problems associated with overcrowding. In our solar system, a few planetic possibilities exist for colonization. Mars, one of our closest neighbors, was previously a prime choice until it was explored more in depth. Scientists have now found it to be a red, rocky, barren desert with little atmosphere, no water, and containing no life. If Earthlings were to settle on Mars, we would remain totally dependent on the Earth's resources. Another close planet is Venus, the second from the sun. This "sister planet" of Earth proved to .....

.... system to four whites, four blacks, one Asia, and one Mexican. Although this sample is not representative of racial attitudes in general, it can used to develop a better sense of differences among students. To discuss my findings fully I must define a few terms. The Criminal Justice System is the network of agencies that respond to crime, including the police, courts, jails, and prisons. Minority Group is a group of people who, because of physical or cultural characteristics, are singled out for differential and different and who regard them as objects of collective discrimination. Discrimination is the act of singling out for unfair treatment. Labeling is s .....

.... of this is when a certain group of your friends smoke or drink and then try to pressure you into joining them. Considering that a fair amount of our decisions are based on what the rest of society thinks, peer and social pressure are important to all our decisions. We base the majority of our decisions on the influence our family have on us. Our family brings us up to think and do certain things to better us. We all feel a sense of living up to certain standards that our family puts upon us. In today’s society we all want to be better than everyone else. When we see families which are better, we feel the pressure either from parents or from ourselves to try and .....

.... left the Tongans started their own monarchy, in other words a single ruler governed them. Thanks once again to the Europeans another great injustice was done to certain group of people. If it wasn’t for a French explorer by the name of Dumont dUrville and a few others we would know next to nothing about the art of tattooing in Tonga. Apparently dUrville demonstrated a picture of a Tongan man’s tattoo. Tattoos in Tonga were done with tools made out of bone or shell. One of the tools was heated with a flammable oil that came form a certain type of nut called “Candlenut.” Unlike here in the United States tattooing in Tonga was long and painful. This took a .....
