.... pop up every year. The bigger the story is now the bigger the news coverage. People flock to the TV to watch our country as is starts to appear to form one big dysfunctional family. We now see teenagers taking risks that in another time and place would be unthinkable. And nobody really seems to do anything about it. The muggings, the rapes, all these murders pass us in a blur of recognition. Television, CD’s, and video games subject kids to violence. By the time a child reaches 18, they have witnesses as many as 26,000 murders on TV. Some of these murders with the shootings and bashings have been said to create a numbness that in return requires even crueler .....

.... abuse. They include the individual characteristics of, and the relationships between, the parent, the child and the environment. Most of the time parents who abuse their children, were also abused as children and that their experience of being parented often included a high level of family violence. There is a link between domestic violence and child abuse. In many families where spouse abuse occurs, children are also victims of physical violence. American studies indicate that about one third of adults who abuse their spouse also abuse their children. Australian research suggests that this figure may be higher. F thermore, children are likely to be at .....

.... that we are able to change them. This is why demography is such an important field . In this paper ,I take a look at certain information and deduce a critical anaylization of facts in hopes of getting a greater understanding. The first set of facts we will look at is the comparison of total black population vs. total white population . In New York in 1990 there were 10,653,051 whites and 2,805,115 blacks .From this information we can assume a few things . This shows that in even such a state with one of the most cosmopolitan cities(NYC) that most likely there will be more whites seen throughout. With a higher white population there will probably be mo .....

.... people use to label others. In practice, one looks at a other, and begins to make generalizations about any physical or intellectual attributes one may possess, and then classes them into a certain category. Adopting stereotype ideas, one assumes that the behavior of one represents everyone of that class. If a young Japanese boy is excelling in math, for example, then a stereotype attitude would be to assume that all Japanese boys are good at math. It is quite obvious that this is not always so. Knowing this, does that mean that stereotyping is “wrong”? When is it considered “correct”, if ever? We are provided with prerogative to think however we like, but .....

.... news today is with reference to the chaotic condition of our planet, or something that society as a whole sees as detrimental or damaging. But the news television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completely concl .....

.... correctness exist. For the purposes of this writing the most concise definition available has been selected. Political Correctness refers to matters of inclusive speech, advocacy of nonracist, nonageist, nonsexist terminology, and insistence on affirmative action policies, avoidance of Eurocentrism as reflected in a “traditional” canon of literature, acceptance of multiculturalism as a valued feature of American society, and dismantling hierarchy as controlled by a white male power structure. (Hoover and Howard 963) In a nutshell, political correctness is an attempt at changing the way we look at things. The goal is to be respectful of all people and .....

.... rose for the third straight year in 1995. Since 1992, the smoking rate has risen by more than one-fifth among seniors, with one in three (34 percent) now saying they smoked in the 30 days prior to the survey. Use of marijuana among seniors has also increased since 1992, reversing a 14- year trend. Among 1995 seniors, 21.2 percent said they had used marijuana in the last 30 days, compared with the low of 11.9 percent in 1992. During the same period, students' perceptions of the risk of marijuana use has declined, from 78.6 percent who perceived igreat riski in regular use in 1991 to 60.8 percent in 1995. Students' perceptions about the harmfulness of .....

.... said that he could get another wife, but since he has only one brother, his wife should sacrifice for his brother. I think Chhidam's idea was socially and morally wrong. Chhidam's wife had to die without any crime. Chhidam's wrong traditional thought killed an innocent woman. This is totally unacceptable mistreatment against women. Another story called " Haimanti" also shows mistreatment of Indian women very well. I have read many similar Korean non fiction stories when I was in Korea. Haima who grew up happily and freely under liberal widower suffered under traditional father in law's prejudice against her. Marriage was almost a necessity as a mean .....
