.... it comes to the real experiences of American women and men. It is true, that in the past, a woman's voice was often disregarded; she was denied certain rights, for some women fought. Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Blackwell were famous for their courage and persistence in bringing change. It is safe to say that most Americans now agree me n and women have vast talents and capabilities. A century ago women were concerned with issues, such as the right to own property and vote. Somewhere between then and now, feminist groups turned their agenda to issues that offended many Americans. They crossed the line of personal and moral decisions .....

.... almost 10%. Waste cannot be simply thrown away anymore, now it must be managed. Managing our trash is the "in thing", yet it is hardly convenient. Lets face the facts, sealed toxins "won't affect us for a good twenty years". Although this may be true, there are still many advantages to waste management. Today, more people are in favour of companies who invest in "green products". As a result, companies have removed phosphates, bleaches, and have made their paper products out of recycled papers. At home, families, are saving things, like leftovers, and making sandwiches for the next day. Industries are also manufacturing most of their christmas cards out of .....

.... broken homes, and violence than all other drugs combined. The United States attempted to prohibit alcohol and failed. The Mafia made its money by bootlegging alcohol. The gangsters of the twenties and thiries were in the alcohol business just as the drug peddlers of today are in the drug business. Both settled trade disputes with gun fire. When alcohol prohibition was repealed and sale by licensed dealers was instituted, the Mafia went out of the liquor business and the revenue agents assigned to stop the illegal business went out of business too. The quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxed, not high enough to motivate bootlegging, beca .....

.... common practice of female infanticide where both cultures regarded having a son much more beneficial to the family than having a daughter. Being born a girl in China was a very unhealthy thing since female infanticide was very common, especially among the lower classes. Not only was a female child an expense to raise, but later she needed a dowry to marry, and her most productive years were devoted to her husband's family and not her own. Therefore, some parent's attitude to children is such that when they bear a son they congratulate each other, but when they bear a daughter they kill her. Both children come from the parent's love, but they congratulate .....

.... Some people tend to use big words to say something simple. They may want to look impressive but really they are just hiding behind the big words. Also, when small vocabulary is used then the person can’t think well, or just think of small thoughts. As the vocabulary shrinks so does the intelligence. I agree with the article, the vocabulary is being abused and is being used badly. I can relate to a situation that was explained in the article, the number of hours I spend watching television. I enjoy watching television; it’s an entertainment for me when I’m bored. I spend about five hours watching television, while I’m eating, doing my homework an .....

.... them and as a result practically all suffer from low self – esteem. Children who live in one room with their entire family or who share a room with many other children lack privacy and have limited space for physical activity. As a result, they tend to become withdrawn or aggressive. Some may be unable to do homework because of the noisy environment, the lack of private space, and the presence of other children in the same room. Children who frequently change schools lack both structure and continuity in their lives, and may be unwilling to risk forming deep friendships. They experience depression as a result of leaving familiar places and people, and may .....

.... and what it really is. This is because straight- edge means something different to each person who follows it; however, there are some basic "rules" that every straight-edge person follows, whether they are straight-edge or hard-line straight-edge.  Straight-edge is not something that has occurred just recently. It is commonly believed that it was started nearly two decades ago in the 1980-1983 era by the hardcore-punk band called Minor Threat.  The song "Straight-Edge" written by Ian MacKaye, the band's singer, not only coined the phrase, but it encompassed all of the philosophies that a straight-edge person believes in.  There have been theories .....

.... Timmy four magazines: two Mademoiselles and two Allures. I then asked them to go through them and rip out the pictures that they would want "their women" to look like. The collection of their ideal women is in the first half of the album. Notice that the pictures are mostly of models that are half dressed, thin and in provactedly positioned posies. The makeup on these women are all perfect and their hair is obviously not out of place. The selection of pictures not surprisingly were of women who not only were half dressed but also in their undergarments. The second half of the experiment was basically done in the same way; but this time I asked for them to tea .....
