.... Success, page 74) Before 1972, there was no penalty for sexual harassment of women at the workplace. Not until, that is, the Education Amendments of 1972 were enacted. Title IX of the Education Amendments states that "sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination and is illegal." (What is Sexual Harassment?, page 20) After the Education Amendments were enacted, women began to see that the law was on their side and that it was designed to protect them. Women now saw that -Verbal harassment or abuse -Subtle pressure for sex -Unnecessary patting or pinching -Constant brushing against another employee's body .....

.... into adulthood unprepared to parent, unprepared to be productively employed and unprepared to share in the mainstream aspirations. Various programs are springing up to help children. However, like the welfare program, for the most part these programs are aimed at alleviating symptoms rather than correcting the cause of the problems. More prisons, more policemen, gun control, the FBI, and V-chips to block violent programs on TV will never stop crime and violence. When we devote time, money and effort toward problems and symptoms -- without correcting the cause -- the problems and symptoms grow and spread like creeping crab grass. But as an individual, .....

.... the United States aggressively forces its views regarding human rights and trade onto the leaders of China. It is true, of course, that China has self-initiative to improve human rights; one example is the pro-democracy demonstrators in the now infamous Tienanmen Square in Beijing. But, with a more aggressive standpoint on human rights, the U.S. can prevent disasters like the massacre of the hundreds of innocuous demonstrators in that square. On June 4th, 1989, unsuspecting people gathered in Tienanmen Square, unaware of the machination the government had devised to cruelly murder them. Government soldiers then proceeded to kill them in cold blood. The i .....

.... 1700s to early 1800s. Before the Civil War, both black and white abolitionists used the Declaration of Independence as justification that slavery was wrong. The delegates of the women’s rights convention at Seneca Falls in 1848 interpreted that Jefferson applied that “all men and women are created equal.” The subject of equality has been under debate since the settling of the colonies and continues today. How can this country be a superior world power but still try to live by the belief that “all men are created equal.” Although some people truly felt that this nation must have a social hierarchy in order to stay competitive with foreign powers, in the nin .....

.... change and improve the welfare system. The Clinton Administration campaigned to "end welfare as we know it." The Administration's proposal limits AFDC benefits to two years, during which employment services would be provided to recipients. Nearly 20 welfare reform bills have been introduced in the 103rd Congress. Besides the above mentioned bill, three major proposals were offered by Republican members: The GOP Leadership Welfare bill, The Real Welfare Reform Act, and The Welfare and Teenage Pregnancy Reduction Act. Now the Republicans have pulled together a strong and controversial bill on welfare reform. The Personal Responsibility Act is an attempt to .....

.... one source to another. Religious disciplines were the first information passed from person to person through entertainment. In the third century B.C., Buddhist monks tried to win converts outside India through the use of theater and song (Burdick 97). They taught the precepts of Siddhartha and Buddha in such theatrical epics as Ramayana and Mahabharata, setting exacting rules for theater performance in the process (Burdick 99). Similarly, Irish monks established singing schools, which taught uniform use of music throughout the church (Young "'). Through chants which were all the same, they spread identical teachings. Christian psalms and hymns in Apostolic t .....

.... more time than we do? No, even though we feel stressed, their work days on the average were longer. Did they have more money? No, we are far more affluent as a society now. Did they have more space in their homes, so they could take in another person and we cannot? No, on the average our houses are far larger. Did they have less of a drug and alcohol problem? Probably not. They did have fewer single-parenting situations - there was less illegitimacy and divorce then - but life expectancy was lower, so there were lots of orphans and half-orphans. We're more spread out now, but our travel time is not any greater. What I learned leads me to wonder: Wh .....

.... on the business which I started nearly eight years ago in 1927. AUGUST 1936: Today I received a letter from my sister Erika, who lives in Germany. She too followed the family tradition and set up her own shop in Germany with her husband, but in this letter she seems to be very distressed and worried. She says that life has started to become very difficult since 1933. There has been a new ruling body installed in Germany called NAZI and according to her newspapers it is led by a hero, who has come to save Germany; Adolf Hitler. These Nazis oppose our jewish religion greatly; nearly everybody does, but this is a new strain of hatred that I have no seen befor .....
