.... is so impersonal that neither voice nor hand writing are used, and personality is lost. Now a video link where the person can see the caller and feel a personal touch, is trying to re- establish the original methods while using high-tech systems. Thus, as technology increases, we can clearly see attempts to get back to the "old way" through usage of time saving methods. One benefit of high-tech communications systems is the ability to make previously impossible communications possible. Think of the father and son separated by an ocean, one in England, the other in Newfoundland. This is where the telephone plays a role. It facilitates an almost .....

.... doing this. Or at least get something in return for the services they are going to render to their city. Everywhere you go in this city, you'll see homeless people around. Their number keeps growing and growing each day. They are absolutely everywhere. Most of them stand by the freeway exits and entrances. They put up signs trying to get anybody's attention so that they could get some change or even some left over food. Others hang around 7-11 stores or any grocery stores and supermarkets. Some are out there to clean your car or just your windshield so they could get something in return for their efforts even though they only get your car more d .....

.... the effects of discrimination. We find that many successful civil rights remedies, voting right laws, which have begun to take part in the Congress and state legislatures, have come under attack from conservative polititians. Affirmative action, for example, wich has created an increasingly diverse workforce, has also been a victim of strong criticism. There are several minority groups which have been the most affected, and are frecuently being denied of their unalienable rights written in the above statement of the Declaration of Independence. Within these we find several that will be discussed in this proyect: blacks, American Indians, Latinos, Asians, .....

.... not blame the homeless for their condition. After all, they are just like regular people except they don't have a home. Their message appeals to some people's feelings of guilt for having received more than they deserve. To do this, they must make people feel vulnerable. They must get people to think that the same thing could happen to them if they do not show pity for those less fortunate. (Not exactly the proper motivation, but it will do if they get the required results.) Once we buy into this image of the homeless, the solution should be easy for us to see: simply build more shelters and public housing. To the extreme right are those that say the ho .....

.... in gender roles of men and women are mainly product of social aspects rather than biological. The most influential aspect that affects the gender rules of women and men is the social. When somebody says social, it means family, friends, neighbors and the whole society. The most important source of pressure of a society is the family. The members of a family are always mentioning what to do, how to dress, where to go, and more. A clear example of how that family or a member of a family influences a lot in the gender behavior of a person is the little Dorothy, who is discriminated in the use of guns by her Uncle Bo in Gun Crazy. Although Dorothy knows tha .....

.... of affirmative action claim race based hiring and education admissions is. In many colleges there are quotas or slots that are set aside for minorities. These reserved slots sometimes go to minority students that meet minimum qualifications but may not posses the some of same high grades or test scores as whites. ("Regents argue over challenge to UC minority police"- Los Angeles Times) On July 27, 1995, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole introduced broad legislation that would end all race and gender based federal affirmative action programs to the extent they require quotas, goals, or timetables, allowing only recruitment outreach efforts into applicant p .....

.... history. The best known example in this century was the attempt by Nazi Germany during the 1930's and 1940's to destroy the Jewish population of Europe, known as the Holocaust. By the end of World War II, 6 million Jews had been killed in Nazi concentration camps. The known objective of the Nazi rule was Jewish extinction. In November 1938, shortly after the assassination of a German diplomat in Paris by a young Jew, all synagogues in Germany were set on fire, windows of Jewish shops were smashed, and thousands of Jews were arrested. This "Night of Broken Glass" (Kristallnacht) was a signal to Jews in Germany and Austria to leave as soon as possible. .....

.... were granted citizenship and voting privileges (Hernandez A1). Today, immigrants are lucky to cross the boarder without being shot--God forbid they become citizens. Contrary to what many believe, many immigrants are not here to become citizens. Many wish to stay for a short time and then return to their home. In fact, many immigrants are reluctant to become legal. Many harbor hopes and dreams of eventually returning to their friends and family back home. Then there are the distinct few who do not wish to decide, and would like have "dual citizenship." To be loyal to more than one country, to vote in both countries, and to travel back and forth easily .....
