Medical Testing On Animals
<view this essay>.... data to
achieve medical advances, there should be other means of research because
testing on animals is cruel and inhumane and often unnecessary.

animals is absolutely essential to maintaining and improving the health of
the American people. They point out, that virtually every advance in
medical science in the 20th century, from antibiotics to organ transplants,

Sexual Harrassment In The Military
<view this essay>.... tolerated, it still happens regardless of the consequences, even in the nineties.
While some women's experiences have been similar to those of black men, their integration into the military has also differed in several ways. Because of our society's fundamental belief that protecting the home and going to war are a man's work, men from minority groups have often been accepted more readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direc .....

<view this essay>.... have been abusing their spouses since sports were created, but
not until the OJ Simpson trial has domestic violence become "the issue du jour."

Animal Rights
<view this essay>.... the baboon to a metal device, which would
force it's head upward at a sixty degree angle and then crush it with
violent force. The baboon would then writhe and moan before falling silent.
This experiment meant to simulate what happens to human beings in a car
crash or a violent head injury.
It isn't right to cause pain, suffering, and certain death to animals
just for our benefit. Many scientists also agree that this experimental
procedure was wrong but only because primates have higher intelligence. I
don't think it is right for any animal of high or low intelligence, to
suffer that way. In other laboratories animals are confined to small cages
or lock .....

Sex In Black, White And Mulatto
<view this essay>.... This included having sex with them. If sex did not include consent,
then it included force, or rape.
There were no laws present in America at this time protecting
female slaves against the sexual advances of their masters.1 Slave owners
then had the opportunity to take advantage of their slaves without having
to worry of prosecution. Without laws that would allow these enslaved women
to resist, there is a presumption then that they were always willing to
oblige to their master's requests for sex.2 This, of course, is not true.
Not all slave women were so compelled to give into their owner's demands.
For some slaves the only way they could resis .....

Relationships
<view this essay>.... in a relationship presents some problems. The jealousy, the insecurity and the need to control the person who is supposed to be cared for. These are all reasons why never last. There seems to be a lot of this in lately. That is why I sometimes would rather be good friends with a member of the opposite sex than to always be in a relationship with them.
First of all jealousy is normal. Everyone gets jealous some time or another. However, when it is happening all the time, then there is a lack of communication within the relationship. Getting jealous just because the other partner is looking at another member of the other sex should not be a reason to resolve .....

Animal Rights
<view this essay>.... is immoral. They do
not see where we as human beings see or feel that we are the dominant
species. They often assert that research with animals causes severe pain
and that many research animals are abused. The activists do not feel the
need to put the animals through such pain. Many of the experiments are
replicated also which causes an unneeded demand for animals to perform
experiments. Experiments which have already been proven are still being
experimented with.
However, animal research is an integral part of today's society when
thinking of how much progress we have gained in human health with the use
of animal experimentation. To date some f .....

The Natives in Canada today are divided into three subgroups: Indians, Inuit, and Métis. There are four major groups of Indians in Canada. Each group contains many different tribes.
