.... including females said they could easily obtain a handgun if they wanted to (Glazer 14). The cause of violence can be blamed on many things but mainly on one thing is drugs and gangs. Now that more people are selling and buying drugs, people are making money to buy weapons. Gangs, since they came around violence have been increasing steadily. The spread of gangs and drugs has also been implicated in the increasing violence of school youths (Glazer 14). Experts have also said that most violent conflicts among school-age children can be traced back to long-simmering disputes (Apfel 21). Carrying guns and other weapons around schools is becoming more and more pop .....

.... 1818-1883 Karl Marx viewed a capitalist society as an economic system that was bound to fail. In Marx's opinion this eminent failure was based in the design of the system. According to Marx, In the capitalist economy there are two major groups; the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie are those who own the means of production, have the power. The proletariat are those that work for the bourgeoisie and are at their mercy. At the economy develops, the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat grows wider and eventually all the capital is controlled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone .....

.... classes developed. The patricians controlled the government with a Senate, made up of 300 elected officials. The senate chose two consuls to administer the laws of Rome. The only power that plebeians had in the government was with a popular assembly, which approved the choice of consuls. Plebeians could not hold public office or marry into a patrician family. During the time of the Republic to the time of the empire, plebeians, who fought in many wars to help Rome gain power, demanded more rights. The government slowly began to change to appeal to plebeians who out-numbered everyone else in population. Around 494 B.C., an Assembly of Centuries and an .....

.... upset. Openly expressing full thoughts, and carefully listening to what your mate is saying are two worthy and helpful tips on holding up the communication bridge. Many times, people become frustrated at their partner's lack of understanding. Unfortunately, no one can read minds. That fact makes it of the utmost importance to be able to let your mate in on what you are thinking. How can he or she possibly do what you want them to do if he or she does not know what it is that you are wanting. Always present thoughts and ideas as clearly as possible. Sarcasm is often a pitfall for communication. When a person states an idea one way but means it in a total .....

When you are faced with a problem child that will not listen or cooperate with you and the students in your class, then you must take some time and deal with the problem by, making a list of pros and cons of possible solutions in dealing with the problem. Be patient and give the kids a chance, because it might just be a temporary thing. You want to remember though not to exclude or manipulate any one in the class. You must always remember about everyone's feelings and be .....

.... I will present many of the traps I have fallen into or observed in others. Everyday I'm faced with decisions of right and wrong, most of which are easily and correctly dealt with. Sometimes however, decisions need to be made that are not easy or clear-cut. They require thought and often prayer. I like to draw on past experience to make comparisons that help give insight to new problems. Many times, however past experiences cannot be related to present problems and can confuse and obscure possibilities. Even the opinions or actions of friends faced with similar dilemmas may not be helpful. Often you feel pressured by piers that say, "it's no big deal .....

.... promoted the belief that African Americans were property rather then people. This belief dates back to colonial times when Virginia's colonial leader John Smith implemented poor immigrants into the system of indentured servitude. This system was used to exploit the poor immigrants in order to make up for a diminishing labor force in Virginia until 1619 when African Americans were brought over and treated as indentured servants. However this African American servitude quickly progressed into slavery as tobacco became more of the backbone of the economy. For many years the issue of civil rights for African Americans was left unanswered. Until slowly African Amer .....

.... ranging from first to sixth grade. She mentioned that one time a kid was caught cheating on a test. The teacher tied the kid to a chair and sprayed him down with Raid insect killer. When I expressed disbelief, she swore it was true. Another interviewee that grew up in the early twenties attended school only through the eighth grade. After that he helped his father on the farm. In the typical school day today, a student has to do a lot more than cheat on a test to get in any real trouble. Some things that get kids in a lot of trouble now include looking up porn on the Internet and fighting. Swearing in class is usually punished with mild reprimand from .....
