.... the news today is with reference to the chaotic condition of our planet, or something else that society as a whole sees as detrimental or damaging. But the news on television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete .....

.... in Response to Emotional and Rational Appeals Much research has been done to try and indicate that emotional appeals may influence attitude change. The other side of looking at the spectrum is that rational appeals may do likewise (e.g., Rosselli; Francine; Skelly, John J.; Mackie, Diane M, 1995). In one study conducted at the University of California at Santa Barbara, 184 students received partial course credit in return for their participation. Subjects in the experiment were assigned to the cells of a 2(positive or neutral mood) x 2(emotional or rational message type) x 2(strong or weak argument quality). Subjects were in groups of two to six. .....

.... The average victim is illiterate and living in a poverty-stricken community where people face hunger, bad health, over-working, and unclean water ("Female...", 1714). This, however, is not always the case. As one can see in the following story of Soraya Mire, social classes create no real barriers. Soraya Mire, a 13-year-old from Mogadishu, Somolia, never knew what would happen to her the day her mother called her out of her room to go buy her some gifts. When asked why, her mother replied, "I just want to show you how much I love you." As Soraya got into the car, she wondered where the armed guards were. Being the daughter of a Somolian general, she was a .....

.... and receiving, a mutual sharing of things in life. Wanting friendship is natural instinct, and for the most part there is no escaping friendship in some form or another. If one is involved in community life, marriage, or plainly has a family in general, friendship will cross the path. This paper will deal with the Aristotelian notion of friendship and the role of friendship in the good life. The paper will answer questions like what Aristotle meant by friendship, what kind of exists, and why we need friends. Throughout our life we get into different kinds of relationships. Some relationships we cannot choose like family ties. These are relationships we a .....

.... you the difficulties she encountered and her major contributions. Nothing is easy when you are trying to change the opinion of the world. In the nineteenth century it was only harder if you were a woman. Elizabeth Stanton not only faced opposition from the outside world but also from those closest to her. After her only brother died she tried to please her father by studying and doing the things that her brother had done. Her father's response was that he wished she had been a boy. Her high hope of working with her husband to abolish slavery was shattered when she was not allowed to enter into the conventions. She, as a woman, was told to keep silent and to do .....

.... it is necessary to understand the history as well as the present. In the early decades, the social role assigned to the women is that of serving an image, authoritative and central, of man: a woman at first and foremost a daughter, a mother/ a wife (Feldman 7). The man was the one who protected the family from poverty and provided with all the great needs. Mark Feighen Fasteau once said that: [T]he male machine is a special kind of being, different from women, children and men who don’t measure up. He is functional, designed mainly for work. He is programmed to tackle jobs, override obstacles, attack problems, overcome difficulties, and always seize t .....

.... is hard work. You need to constantly strive and work to improve your . Another thing that is helpful is determination. You may not get all the recognition that you want, but you need to have determination in order to keep going. Yet another skill to have, as Sgt. Stokes would say, is attention to detail. Like putting your ribbons an 1/8 above the pocket when the manual says to. When you obtain good you should carry yourself as an example to others. Just because you obtain good today doesn’t mean you will automatically have it tomorrow. You have to earn it. You should also look off of and follow those that you think have a good . They probably know wh .....
