Sex: The Ultimate Zen
<view this essay>.... do, but to let it consume the rest of the living’s life is completely unhealthy. These same feelings could be put towards sex as well. By detaching one’s self from the emotional part of it, there would be no regret, no guilt, no worrying, no sense of betrayal. It could be considered something fun to do with a friend, or merely something to pass the time.
One problem with sex is the emotional attachment that one gets to the other person after the act. This attachment is stronger in women than in men, but most men still feel it, even though it might not be as strong as the woman’s feelings. This sense of attachment will turn into abandonment if one partner d .....

Racial Discrimination
<view this essay>.... is nobody to cater to her needs. She spends each day taking care of
everyone but herself. Pain. Sorrow. Anguish. Agony. Is this what comes to your
mind when you hear the word "KAFFIR"? Well, it shouldn't because the word
"kaffir" has nothing to do with the color of your skin. The word "kaffir" is
just that; a word. It is a term that sprouted out of ignorance and continues to
be used to this day exclusively by ignorant people. A kaffir isn't a slang term
for an African; it is a word that describes the person that uses it. This type
of person is one who feeds his ego by dehumanizing those around him when he
feels they are not equal to him. He may regar .....

Living Together Before Marriage
<view this essay>.... Families."Detroit Free Press 18 October
1995: B17.) Although living together is not a recent invention, the relationship
has yet to be legitimized with a respectable name. Existing terms such as
"shacking up" or "living in sin" are just some of the crude names being tagged
to people living together. Living together can be valuable a substitute for
marriage, a cur e-all for marital problems, and a solution to the problem of
frequent divorce.
A popular rationale for living together is that it is an ideal way to
have a "try out." This trial marriage is a result of the ever increasing divorce
rate. Many couples are afraid of marriage and decide to live together w .....

Affirmative Action: Why It Should Go
<view this essay>.... discrimination.
Affirmative action was created in an effort to help minorities and immigrants leap the discriminative barriers that were ever so present when the bill was first enacted, in 1965. At this time, the country was in the wake of nationwide civil-rights demonstrations, and racial tension was at an all time high. Most of the corporate executive and managerial positions were occupied by white males, who controlled the hiring and firing of employees. The U.S. government, in 1965, believed that these employers were discriminating against minorities and believed that there was no better time than the present to bring about change. This action, that star .....

Coersion/Rape
<view this essay>.... above are in some way related. However, in the manner of logic which I
possess, they are not. The debate now is rape, and what constitutes that once
horridly thought of crime. In the opinion of some, rape is no longer just a
physical act of violence that accompanies uninvited sex. Rape, as defined by
some, can occur even when the two parties involved agree verbally or otherwise
to have sex. This to me, seems absurd. In the most basic terms, and with the
simplest definitions, no means no, and okay, yeah, yes and please, all mean yes.
The term "NO" is not very complicated, and is probably the word that was
repeated to us the most as children, so w .....

Women In Africa
<view this essay>.... If one examines the following women's protests and
their outcomes: A.E. Afigbo's The Warrant Chiefs, Sylvia Leith-Ross' African
Women, Jean Allman's "Rounding Up Spinsters: Gender Chaos and Unmarried Women in
Colonial Asante", and Irene Staunton's Mothers of the Revolution, several
questions arise. What were women seeking and how did this differ from what men
wanted? Did women attain their goals, and if not, why not? If women were not
successful in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In .....

Relations Between Canada And Japan
<view this essay>.... to come to Canada, the initial aim was to learn North American customs and to return back to Japan. However; upon their arrival Japanese men were used as a source of cheap labour to develop remote areas of North America particularly in the west. It is within this period of time we begin to see the discrimination begin against the first Japanese generation (Nikkei) in Canada.
During the Second World War, Japanese Canadians were persecuted and were the victims of national discrimination. Japan had entered the war as an ally of Germany and had bombed the United States. As a result of the bombing at Pearl Harbour the relations between Japan and the US dete .....
