.... because she felt that she was standing up for herself and her fellow female coworkers. Now, however, a woman who files a lawsuit is doing the exact opposite; she is hurting the progress of women in the workplace by using the courts as her protector, and commanding hostile attitudes from both her male and female coworkers. The first way that a woman who files a lawsuit is diminishing the progress of women in the workplace is by using the court system as an out, rather than handling a bad situation for herself. In 1991 The New York Times magazine and CBS news conducted a poll in which forty percent of 55 million of the nation’s working women had dealt wi .....

.... impossible not to see the green haired girl walking down the hall, or the blue haired boy in your gym class. It's immediately the way you're first described by your peers. This attracts attention to you, and makes you more known around your school. Everyone's talking about your new hair color, about how "crazy" and "cool" it is; or maybe how "gross" it is, depending on how it turned out. You could look like a way cool punk rocker, really trendy, or like your hair grew some major mold. It can depend on the dye or the way you dye it, or sometimes on pure luck. Sometimes people dye their hair because they need a change. They're sick of the brown-haired, boring o .....

.... and the problem of being unaccepted, possibly affecting women's ability to serve their country. The military was fully integrated in the mid-1970s (Moskos 107). Yet, twenty-some years later, women are still trying to gain full equality. In those past twenty years, there have been many courageous women who have been fighting their way into record-breaking positions so their male peers would accept them. Two of these women are Shannon Faulkner and Shannon Workman. Faulkner was the first woman to become a cadet at the Citadel as she walked through the gates on August 12, 1995. Faulkner entered the 152-year-old military school located in South Carolina as a "kno .....

.... The mental health of these men is affected because of the strains, tensions and the "kill or be killed" mentality of the battlefield. Many of them have physical ailments as a result of the injuries received in battle or the exposure to biological weapons that tamper with the many systems of the body. The quality of their family life suffers because they have been scared mentally, emotionally and physically; therefore their behavior will not be the same and that affects family life significantly. Another aftermath of war is the suffering children. Many of them experience the painful loss of family members such as their parents, grand parents, an .....

.... that allow adult adoptees complete access to their birth and adoption information (“Court”). These states support the policy of openness in adoption in current adoption practices. Many adoption agencies have supported the policy of confidentiality, but several agencies are moving towards increased information sharing. It is estimated that more than 60,000 Americans are in search of birth parents or children from whom they were separated as result of adoption (“Court”). This desire to know information about birth parents or adoptees has changed the attitude towards adoption. Closed adoption procedures were born in the late 19th century (Batton). At that .....

.... the influence of the television. They tend to accept everything they see on TV as real. Kids often identify with movie characters and comics figures much more than the elder generation does. It is the role of the parents to teach them that not everythink that glitters is gold and to give them a better perception of the world. That of course does not mean that parents are affected less by the TV. On the contrary, they are often more affected than their kids, of course not by cartoons, but by shows that contain information about serious subjects such as parenthood. Concerned with being good parents, people are accumulating a lot of information on the subject. A .....

.... tan. It is so sad that teens are so caught up with their vanity that they feel the need to torture themselves with these self proclaimed "safe" machines. "Tanning salons may call it 'healthful', 'beneficial', or 'sunshine under glass', but the radiation given off by even the newest tanning equipment can seriously harm the skin," said a researcher with Ohio State University Arthur G. James cancer hospital and research institute. Tanning beds surround your body with UV light. These beds emit two to three times the amount of UV light that reaches the earth outdoors. UV light has been linked to serious cases of malignant melanoma, and even to the weakening o .....

.... the fact that he could probably meet new friends if he would only try. He is in the 8th grade and he feels afraid of the other boys at his new school. He acts tough and has been in two fights in the last week. Because he is getting a reputation for as a (quote) "tough kid" he thinks that carrying a knife will make him safer. You are a student in his class. You two sit next to each other and sometimes talk during break. The boy feels he can trust you to keep a secret. He tells you of how he intends to take care of some boys intimidating him. Also being a 14 year old, how do you handle this situation? This is not an uncommon situation for children anymore .....
