.... Obviously a strong desire to use drugs exists, and it is the prevention of this desire that we need to focus on in order to wipe out drugs from our lives. In fact, our focus is strongly on punishing drug users, yet applying laws against committed drug crimes has not proven to be an effective solution. Drugs are still produced and distributed everywhere, and are taken by many. -- despite Obviously our focus is mid-directed. Because all types of people use illegal substances, pinpointing one specific group to “bust” is not effective. Recently, we have tried to track the location of drug use. We find places where drugs tend to be, and seek t .....

.... working in the home easier. She believes women should be out working instead of being home. The biggest and most important advantage of going back to the traditional fifties lifestyle is for the children. If mothers are staying home instead of going to work everyday then their children do not have to be raised in daycare. It is not fair to the child to have to spend ten hours a day in a facility where they can not get the attention they need and deserve. Children need their parents. Only a parent can truly give their child what he/she needs. A daycare provider can not give each and every child in the daycare center the love and attention that one of their par .....

.... because of her “location” in society, which she has no controll over at this point in her life. This is only one example as to why many of the children and young adults in lower class societies such as this one turn to dealing drugs, stealing, and prostitution, just to survive. There are a few that are lucky enough to maintain a blue collar job, but even in this case, the income is usually relitively low and the struggle continues. The fact that LeAlan Jones is young , a minority, and was born into the ghetto makes the struggle for success ever more difficult. Jones is deteermined to beat the odds, and get an education that will break the poverty that his .....

.... Earth can be seen everywhere. Take the creation of the Ninth Grade Center for example. A growing number of ninth graders caused the need for a new school. It's nothing new and probably won't go away for quite a while. Our home, the planet Earth is also suffering. Every environmental problem can be traced to an abundant amount of humans on Earth. On Earth we have available approximately 130 million km^2 [50.2 million mile^s2] of ice-free, fertile and barren land surface. This amount of land left i s continually being decreased because of an increase of the amount settlement. A food problem in the world can also be traced to overpopulation. The food pro .....

.... it can be hard to explain. The explanation that this mother gave was filled with love and compassion. Many parents to comfort children while explaining divorce use doublespeak and jargon. Doublespeak is language that makes the bad seem good, and the negative appear positive (William Lutz, "The World of Doublespeak." 188). There are many ways that parents can explain to their children that they are getting divorced. Children usually know when their parents aren't happy and may feel confused about the situation. Barb Clark, a divorce counselor and psychologist, suggests different ways to communicate to your children about divorce. She recomm .....

.... (Cavendish 263). A more understandable definiton of an Urban Legend would be, they are stories that we have all heard and they are usually digusting or eerie,but yet so believable that we rarely doubt their validity. They are almost always false or grossly distorded,yet they endure for years. Urban Legend is a term popularized by University of Utah Folklore expert, Jan Harold Brunvand (Brooke 2). They comprise the many more or less believable and always amazing stories that so many swear to be true but so few are able to prove. are usually told at sleepaway camps,schools, family reunions,cocktail parties,and even corporate coolers.They are also spr .....

.... were still extreme. The U.S. Supreme Court supported this in the trial of Plessy versus Ferguson. The case of Plessy versus Ferguson was a decision in the series of Supreme Court cases dealing with Jim Crow laws, the laws dealing with racial segregation, and whether or not the idea of separate but equal was constitutional. Justice Brown, in his decision explained to the court that Plessies arguments about the Louisiana law forcing blacks and whites to ride in separate cars on trains was unconstitutional was wrong. The court believed that the law was not in conflict with the thirteenth amendment because forcing blacks to ride on separate trains was n .....

.... world. We should also civilize it because we need the extra room and because we cannot live in uncivilized areas of the wilderness, at least not with all of the comforts of home. What effects will civilizing the wilderness now have in the future? Many questions can arise when contemplating civilizing the wilderness. The wilderness is being civilized for one main reason. That reason is technology. Technology plays an important role in everyone's lives today. Without it, we would not have computers, fax machines, cellular phones, and all of the modern conveniences that we have today. The fact is, that many people believe that the wilderness is like an u .....
