The Wild Life: Single And Married Couples
<view this essay>.... laughed
while talking about such topics as our new husbands, houses, or even
children. The whole situation seemed bizarre, even when the party games
began the conversation seemed forced.
Afterwards, on my way home, I realized this problem was not
uncommon. There are vast differences between the lifestyles of single
people and that of married people that make it unmistakably difficult to
remain close friends. Single people live in a world of spontaneity, filled
with chaos. Everything is up in the air. They have no idea what day it is
much less if they have plans for the next weekend. Married people operate
on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is ne .....

The Concept Of Death
<view this essay>.... is independent on physical properties. The cessation of breathing in this tradition has been taken as the sign of death as the soul cannot be physically seen leaving the body and therefor another sign must be made present.
In modern times, death has been thought to occur when the vital functions cease breathing and circulation (as evidence by the beating of the heart). This definition is also supported by the definition of clinical death, which states that death is equated with irreversible coma. This view has been challenged; however, as medical advanced have made it possible to sustain respiration and cardiac functioning through mechanical means. Thus, more .....

Skinhead Violence
<view this essay>.... groups, suck as the White Aryan
Resistance, KKK, populist Party, British National Party, and several others.
They get support from so called punks and football (soccer) hooligans known as
"hools" to create riots and violence. From the creation of this cult until
today it has supported violence, starting with beatings with boots and small
weapons, evolving today into a terrorist like cult armed with deadly military
weapons.
Just like gangs in the U.S. skinheads also fight among each other. These
fights are actually where most deaths by skinheads occur. And just like gangs
skinheads have several different beliefs and methods of expression. These
typ .....

Human Aggression
<view this essay>.... a person’s behavior. This is based on the theory that everything human beings do would have to be learned from other human beings. Aggression must be learned; it is not simply there from birth. Rather than being an uncontrollable instinct, a person’s behavior is something that is taught to him. For example, a newborn baby is breathing because it is an involuntary reflex. On the other hand, a father may tell his young son to beat up the school bully who is picking on him. As a result, the boy is taught to deal with the situation by using violence.
In order for an individual to display aggression, it must be driven by an instinct interacting with that pe .....

Working Mothers
<view this essay>.... divided, and so on. When thinking of working women, two models come to mind. One of which is paid employment that has a protective and beneficial mediating effect. Employment protects women against certain negative aspects of being full-time homemakers and mothers, such as monotonous housework, dependence on the male partner for financial and emotional support, increases self-esteem because they are contributing to the world they live in. These women receive a renewed interest in life because they are in the thick of it. They are living life to the fullest. This model is the one that is constantly referred to as "bad" because it paints the woman as someone w .....

Sexual Harassment: For Sex Or Money?
<view this essay>.... anything that might be misread as an innuendo. It
is getting so absurd that a simple date is turning into a well-documented legal
affair. Sexual harassment is not normal human behavior, but explicit sexual
influence from a superior.
Take the case of the six-year-old boy from Wisconsin. He kissed another
six-year-old on the cheek. She asked him to do it, and the act was totally
innocent. The first grader was suspended for a day for sexual harassment. I am
really glad that I did not go to that school when I was six. I would have been
expelled. To tell a little boy that it is amoral to kiss anyone on the cheek is
wrong. To punish him for it shows a situa .....

Why People Feel Gun Control Is Unfair
<view this essay>.... and the registration of guns and gun
owners is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns and the
violence by criminals using guns.
Many people feel that gun control violates the right of the people
given in the second amendment the right "to bear arms". Opponents of gun
control, including the National Rifle Association, better known as the NRA,
argue that the "right To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment
of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing
restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing
criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult
for guns to be bo .....

The Struggle Between Being And Knowing
<view this essay>.... me as a candidate for graduation. Many students are still left wondering if that is all there is. The society we live in demands the degree. We go to meet that demand. That is the easy part. We can easily learn what we are told to learn and spit out facts and information that is pumped into us. So we emerge with the treasured slip of paper but what else? Yes, we hopefully have acquired the skills to do the job we are seeking, but have we acquired the intellectual capacity for continued learning? Was our curiosity tapped? Or worst of all satisfied? Both the articles “I Go to College” by Lincoln Steffens and the film Dead Poets Society present a unique st .....
