.... the nature of homeless people asking for money and their interactions with people walking up and down a main street such as Telegraph Avenue is a difficult task. This observation process, which took place on Telegraph Avenue watching the homeless at "work", was difficult because of the wealth of information one could find in simply watching as one person asked another for money. We looked for a number of signals in the interactions, considering people's ages, how they reacted physically, whether or not they communicated verbally, their demeanor throughout the interaction, and the importance of eye-contact. We must also wrestle wit .....

.... incentives to go to work were so weak. Welfare has also established a problem with benefits being disbursed not only to a family its entire life time, but to the many generations to follow that family line. The consists of two major ideas. First, there is revolutionary change in basic goals set by the federal government. Second, a dramatic change turning what used to be a federal, centralized system over to the states. At this point welfare rules require most recipients to work within two years of receiving assistance, limit most assistance to five years total, and let states establish family duration by denying additional benefits to mothers for .....

.... than doubled resulting in more prisons being built every year. Even with all the harsh sentencing guidelines, judges are not sentencing criminals to do necessary time . Prisons have become a revolving door society. Only 25% of those convicted are sent to prison. Judges usually have to let out a inmate before another one can take his place. There are limited cells in prisons, so the majority of crimes are punished by probation or court sanctions. Even when longer sentences are given, they are rarely served. The average murderer spends about six years in prison. What factors decide the outcome of such individuals? Some experts feel there is no absolute ans .....

.... an innocent animal, when there might be other options? Animals are being used as throw away toys. They do feel pain, they do suffer and they do not have any options. You do not hear of any human testing because that is morally wrong. So why are we doing it to animals? Animal testing is probably the most unjust form of treatment for any animal. Humans have rights, which are protected by the bill of rights. Animals also have rights, but only animal activists protect them. Anyone knows that if groups of humans were being tortured or even killed then it would make many headlines on the evening news, and of course, it would be stopped. On a daily basis anima .....

.... society many people are unaware of how important social status can be to a teen. School has become a popularity contest and unfortunately the majority of the popular kids drink. This leads the less popular kids to believe they must also drink if they wish to be popular also. We find many kids drink just to fit in, even though they dislike the effects of alcohol. Social pressure may lead to serious stress. Many kids become extremely stressed out because of pressure from their families to do well in school. When mom and dad expect their child to get an ‘A’ and they get a ‘B’, things can get pretty tense around the home front. If a kid does not have any way .....

.... lacks a national identity, one which everyone can recognize. When someone asks a Canadian what his nationality is, he does not reply, ³Canadian², instead, ³German², ³Scottish² or ³Ukrainian². This is because we as Canadians do not see ourselves as distinct Canadians. We need to have a common idea of what it is to be Canadian rather than always identifying with the place we came from. We identify with community or region over nation. To gain a Canadian identity we must learn to identify with a nation, Canada. This is one of the main reasons we lack a Canadian identity, because we as Canadians do not really think of ourselves as Canadians. We may be .....

Less Education A mere of 75% have graduated high school, and 38% of all African Americans have completed at least one year of college.

.... to be attending this course, but now I am just starting to appreciate it. I can not even begin to describe what I learned. Good communication skills not only lead us to better our human relations with others, but it also helps to build our self-confidence. I learned techniques for remembering people's names and how to focus on that person. I also was taught how to take steps outside of my comfort zone, and speak in front of others on a variety of different topics. In turn, I learned how to listen to other people and react to them in a friendlier way. Dale Carnegie reiterated this quote in his book The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking. "Expres .....
