.... First Amendment clearly voices a great American respect toward the freedom of religion. It also prevents the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow' .....

.... dream. However, if one were to take this idea of peace being something we can never attain, then there is another way of looking at the subject. Peace is obviously something we can have that will satisfy everyone, but it is something that we can always work on and improve. The ways in which we can improve our culture can be much easier to understand when we break down everyone’s definition of peace into separate points. By doing this we can specifically improve each aspect and in the long run we will have created a much more peaceful society. The first aspect of peace is the spirit peace, which reflects how we feel about ourselves and how we treat o .....

.... to look appealing to others, men are supposed to be big, strong, and athletic, whereas women are supposed to be thin, pretty, and big-breasted. I often wonder why we put so much emphasis on the way a person looks. I think females feel more of the pressures of looking "good". In the past, I've talked to some of my girlfriends and they told me that the pressure and competition they are faced with is stressful and painful. I told them that I am not too critical when checking out girls and when it comes to seeing other males bigger or stronger than myself, that I don't feel too much pressure of trying to look better than them. I am rather more concerned of my .....

.... distorted in order to keep ratings up. What the media is also accomplishing by focusing on ratings, in my opinion, is creating distrust in the minds of the general public. The growing number of people no longer look at the police as noble or heroic, they look at them as abusive and trigger-happy. According to an article in USA Today, only 64% of White-Americans and 33% of African- Americans believe the police treat all people equally (Wickham 2000). I am not saying that all policeman always use good judgement. There are times when they do exert unnecessary force, and in those cases they should be subject to the full penalty of the law. However, “only one .....

.... different languages costs our government lots of money, in addition, it makes the operation of the government inefficient. Everyone have to suffer from it because all this money come from the tax. Using different languages also breaks the unity of our society. People are separated by what kind of language they speak; for example, people who speak only Chinese will live in China Town. Those people also tend to hang around with the same kind of people, those who speak Chinese. There is no communiaction between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same c .....

.... one violent scene after another, delivering untold numbing horror into Canada's living rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries. Taped TV violence, unlike real violence, repeats over and over in an accelerating pattern. The sounds and scenes of violence echo, firing in every direction without concern for targets or casualties. Canadians are developing a vision of themselves as hopeless victims of criminal forces they cannot control and cannot understand. While TV grows rich on violence, the nation is threatened by loss of self-esteem, fear of crime, and fear of our neighbours. A permanent impression is made on the innocent minds of young children too young to .....

.... needle as it passed through her skin creating an opening that had never been there before. This needle was followed by the actual piece of jewelry, yet even more painful than the needle. However, this wasn’t even the worst part. After the procedure Suzy left feeling a bit nausea, light-headed, and incredibly sore. It hurt when her clothing touched the area, or when she moved the skin near her navel. Aside from the pain, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Then there’s Dillon. Dillon was a senior in High School, in fact he had just turned eighteen. Dillon decided to get a tattoo. He spent countless hours deciding on the design he wanted. Then, he visite .....

.... jobs that involve strength and power. Women aren't all unable to do these jobs so they are forced to work as secretaries, clerks, and many of the mentally demanding office jobs. There are exceptions though such as the big 250 pound butch women and the skinny frail men who switch roles and that is perfectly fine. This becomes a problem when the massive dumb man wants to be a successful secretary with his amazing eight words per minuit typing speed and the skinny little twig woman wants to be a lumberjack. Men and women have to realize that some jobs are meant for someone more fitting then what they are. When god created women, he gave them the ability to .....
