.... be yourself and do whatever you feel like if you don't conform to society's expectations. You may not be as popular as a conformist, but you will probably earn more respect for standing out. Non-conformists could actually have more time and money on their hands for themselves because they don't need to spend time or money on things that will help them fit in. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson's idea, "Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist," because man is free to do whatever he wishes--we're not robots that are programmed to imitate. In other words, we have our own individual minds and personalities and we need to put our uniqueness to work. .....

.... in the car outside. The nightmare begins. His slimy hands casually slide an ebony cartridge into the VCR as he smiles at you seductively. You can feel his eyes worming their gaze through your clothes every time that he looks at you. You feel dirty and violated every time you think about what he does to you when you are alone. He walks over to the couch and sits down next to you. His hand slithers it way onto your knee and you cringe in revulsion. “Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you,” he chides. Your mind feels panicky as you feel his touch in more intimate places and you scream involuntarily. His grip tightens as he places his hand over your mouth. “ .....

.... 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 loc .....

.... apply that understanding to the church of the twentieth century. Many people would dispute the Bible's relevance to contemporary thought in general, and in particular to the role of women in worship. If the Bible were not written under divine inspiration, a person or practice is not bound by its teachings. He or she can therefor pick and choose whatever corresponds to his/her point of view. However, if the Bible is of divine inspiration, then a cautious consideration of passages relevant to a particular issue must be undertaken. Traditions and customs that have arisen after the Bible was written may thus be carefully scrutinized. Such practices may or may n .....

.... how he grew up living poor with his family and how he wanted to be educated and go through college to get a good job so he could live well. But he said his parents just didn't have the money and it was impossible. I felt threatened as did Mike and Kim from the drunken gestures of this man and thought to myself, if this man wanted to make something of his life, I mean if he really wanted to, he would try harder and somehow do wh at he wanted. We tried to leave as soon as possible. But then I began reading these essays about the homeless and it started to change my mind. The essay "Virginia's Trap" by Peter Marin especially effected me because of the way it .....

.... those who had been discriminated against. However, as it is defined today was not considered a policy until President Lydon Johnson issued Executive Order 11246, which required that federal contractors take to ensure the hiring of qualified blacks, women and other minorities in their work forces. The use of was never limited to federal contractors. The legislative history of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 reveals that during the 1960’s, American blacks and other minorities were denied employment opportunities because of their race, color, sex, religion, and national origin. As a result, minorities and women received lower wages and their rate of unemployme .....

.... when the woman is alone with the man. It can occur when others are relatively close by such as outside a house, or downstairs in a house. The mix of drugs and alcohol are significant factors of . They compromise your ability to make responsible decisions. Drinking has become a popular social activity amongst college students and has been seen throughout society as setting the mood for romance. After a few drinks a woman’s judgment is altered, and it is often difficult to push away sexual advances. Women can say that they drank too much or did too many drugs to know what exactly was happening. Many people will say that when alcohol is in their system, it di .....

.... could be thinking when watching his role model spit on a umpire when the call is unfavorable? What does that teach the children? Many athletes don't want to be role models, but are forced into it by the media. "Professional athletes should not be role models. Hell, I know drug dealers who can dunk. Can drug dealers be role models too?" Charles Barkley once said about athletes as role models. Athletes are always in the spotlight, whether it's underwear commercials or endorsing french fries. The role models have an undisputed athletic ability, but all too many times they are only a bright red peel on the rotting core of the American role model apple. Since .....
