.... looked at the different types of networks that men and women share. These networks also differ and as do the reasonings for their formation. Although we do not think that men and women need to change their cultures to effectively communicate, we do think that better communication is possible. One of the researchers we took a look at was Deborah Tannen. According to Tannen the reason that men and women do not communicate well is that men and women use language differently. Women take the attitude that conversation is to explore solutions to common problems while men concern themselves more with getting information and hard data from conversation. Tannen state .....

.... St. Luke/ Roosevelt states that the approach to managed care in the hospital involves a "Gatekeeper" mechanism. According to Powell each patient is assigned a gatekeeper, a general practitioner who will decide if the patient is in need of a specialist. If so the gatekeeper will make a referral to a specialist. Providing the patient chooses to follow the gatekeeper's referral he or she will be granted the health care benefits covered under the managed health care plan. If they are to go against the referral and see a doctor not recommended they do not receive the coverage that they would under the plan. When asked how this would affect the pha .....

.... in this country has always been around, but recently numbers are hitting all time highs. From 1992 to 1995, drug use among teenagers almost doubled. Drugs and alcohol are both mind altering agents which cause people to do things that they would not normally do or intensify the emotions that they feel. I believe that many violent acts are due to people being under the influence of some type of narcotic or alcohol. In a survey conducted in the University of Tennessee for the Department of Health, the effects of drug abuse on violence were studied. It was found that almost 56% of drinkers also used drugs while drinking. Interestingly, white males were fou .....

.... raised and addressed by both the city and its citizens. In some malls across the country, such as Roosevelt Field, Long Island, they are trying to put curfew in effect. Teenagers and children under the age of 16 cannot be in the mall without a guardian over the age twenty-one after six o’clock. This idea is crazy to think of when you think of a mall on the weekend nights without the local teenagers hanging out and shopping. When I think of “mall, the first thing that comes to mind is teenagers cruising the mall for the perfect gear for the next party or such. This is the first step towards limiting freedom for minors. The next step would be to establi .....

.... women (Rae 1984). In both my professional and private capacity I am interested in sexuality and disability, and specifically in the ways in which disabled adults can establish meaningful relationships with other people (disabled or on-disabled). Issues such as sexuality and the forming of relationships are regularly discussed in mainstream youth and community work, but rarely with regard to disabled people (which is not surprising since disabled people are often absent from mainstream groups). Indeed, it is only in the last few years that disabled people themselves have been in the forefront of this debate, and the leading protagonist have usually been .....

.... the problem, we must know what it is. Aggressive driving or road rage is defined as an incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian in response to a traffic dispute altercation or grievance. Oddly enough, this includes incidents when an angry or vengeful motorist intentionally drives his or her vehicle into a building or other structure or property. What goes through the minds of those who commit these senseless acts on our roadways? What leads up to the final crime and what eventually triggers of these people? The psychological process leading up to the fina .....

.... it had its greatest influence in America. During the 1960's a radical group called the Hippies shocked America with their alternative lifestyle and radical beliefs. Hippies came from many different places and had many different All Hippies were young, from the ages of 15 to 25 (Worldbook). They left their families and did it for many different reasons. Some rejected their parents' ideas, some just wanted to get away, and others simply were outcasts, who could only fit in with the Hippie population. "Under 25 became a magical a .....

.... himself, he will not be capable of respecting other people. It is important to show respect to all people because it is difficult to communicate with others without showing them respect. People need to treat each other with respect and love. The Bible commands that a person treat others the way he wants to be treated. Children must be shown how to show respect to other people so they can receive that respect. Another important value children learn from their parents is to be independent. Children who are not taught independence will have both social and emotional problems later in life. Every person needs to understand how important it is to be an indi .....
