.... young to even comprehend homosexuality. What I did comprehend, however, were the group of men whistling cat calls, using obscene gestures, and yelling out threats in a very offensive manner. As Debbie hurried us to her car, I felt extreme anger, coupled with increasing confusion as to why the men would yell and embarrass the lady that was so kind to me and my brother. What did Debbie and her “sister” do so wrong? Years later, I am convinced that Debbie and her “sister” were a lesbian couple, and the incident at the McDonald’s was a bunch of stupid, homophobic morons. These days crimes targeting gay and lesbian couples are heard on the news frequently, an .....

.... She worked extremely hard to win voting rights, both for women and freed slaves. She also organized the first women's temperance (anti-alcohol) association and, with Elizabeth Stanton, worked to pass the first laws guaranteeing equal rights for women with regard to their children, property, and wages. Anthony was a heroine in North America for her tests of the U.S. Constitution, though the right to vote was not secured until after her death. Susan B. Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, NY, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to anti-slavery and to temperance. Howe .....

.... control. This is the case with Multiple Personality Disorder, and it effects thousands of people in the United States alone. But why does MPD fascinate us? It has often been found quite interesting. Movies, books, and even talk shows have been made trying to show the harsh reality of the disorder, but how seriously are we expected to take Truddi Chase and the "Troops" when they are on The Oprah Show? How worried are we for Sybil when we remember Sally Field as Gidget? As grim as this disorder is we often don't realize the severity unless we hear it from "the voices." Using the psychoanalytical approach, I will show how past abusive experiences have driv .....

.... stay and take the pain. Women sometimes don’t know that they’re life or children’s life could be ended. The man still has his life because most of the time he’s just put in prison for so many years and not sentenced to the death chair. Children don’t deserve to be put in a foster home. A child needs to have their natural mother and father. There have been many cases in which siblings are split up into different foster homes. They have a chance of not seeing their sibling again. It can sometimes take as long as twenty years before they see their sibling. They have missed all those wonderful years of growing up, laughing and playing as brother or sist .....

.... and the ingredients. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates cosmetic products, does not require animal testing. Some of the tests used on animals are eye irritancy tests, acute toxicity tests, and skin irritancy tests. In eye irritancy tests, a liquid, flake, granule, or powdered subezce is dropped into the eyes of a group of albino rabbits. The animals are often immobilized in stocks from which only their heads protrude. They usually receive no anesthesia during the tests. After placing the subezce into the rabbits eyes, lab technicians record the damage to the eye tissue at specific intervals over an average period .....

.... and treat them in many of the same ways. As stated by Jan Reynolds, “In the Amazon, the Himalaya, the Sahara, and other far corners of the world I saw newborns either nursed, held, or carried in some fashion by their mothers from the moment of birth” (Reynolds p.21). Though many mothers across the world may do this, there are many variances in the way the children are raised. Breast-feeding is one variance that is present cross culturally. Most women breast-feed their children for some period of time, though some women in the United States start their children on formula at an early age. Women in the United States are amongst the few that even put their chi .....

.... the ability to spread hate propaganda and the "hate laws". Included in the essay is a brief outline of one skirmish that has taken place (Keegstra ). Those who fight on the side supporting freedom of speech do so for several reasons. Braun declares that it is a basic democratic right to voice your own opinion . Douglas Christie has gained notoriety for his vigorous representation of high- profile, controversial clients, charged under the hate laws. He advocates freedom of speech for two main reasons: a) he finds it abhorrent that the state can legislate thoughts and words, and b) he often agrees with the views held by his clients. Others such as Noa .....
