The Equal Rights Amendment
... were viewed as weaker and inferior to men. The
purpose of the ERA was to prohibit any person from acting on this belief. Alice
Paul viewed that equality under the law was the foundation essential to full
equality for women.
In November of 1922, the NWP voted to work for a federal amendment that
could guarantee women's equal rights regardless of legislatures' indecisions.

Alcoholism
... lessons in my life. The biggest lesson learned is that nothing comes easy, not school, not work and not athletics. My father has inspired me to do my best in all of my activities. I feel that I can relate my life on a lower level with his on a higher level. Our views on work ethic and athletics are closely tied together. My father always told me that once a quitter always a quitter. Being a Varsity wrestler and football player, those words inspired me to always to obtain my goals no matter the obstacles standing in my way. I believe a person that quits a sport or drops a difficult class in high school will do the same when a difficult task is in front of him in ...

Poverty
... Since they lack adequate shelter and clothing, diseases occur all over. These diseases develop a lot easier with poor nutrition. Once again with more financial problems, health care is limited to none. T.L Berry English Professor at Oxnard College says “ is usually caused by the difficulty in holding and even getting a job. Ability, education, and skills help determine the kind of job an individual gets”. That is the matter.

Veterans Day
... which is us the children. We should be
thankful for the world we live in, many veterans gave up their lives for us.
In some countries, leaders do not care about what happens to their people,
but our country does, and that is why we should respect the kindness of our
veterans.
Finally, I have the most important reason why we should always
respect our veterans, that is freedom. Without freedom, we could have half
of the things that we have now. We would have no respect, no rights, and
no happiness, In other countries, people don't have freedom, and they are
suffering and dying. Without freedom, we would have nothing.
In conclusion I just wanted ...

... and easier than traditional mail services could ever hope to offer. The positive aspects of the Internet are immeasurable and go without saying; this paper's focus is on the negative effects of the Internet. The social impact: A. Alienation: Alienation from institutions such as the family, education and places of work may result from the following factors: Lack of face-to-face socialisation is turning into a considerable problem for those who have locked themselves inside the anonymity of their computers.

streets. So they must resort to prostitution to pay for the food that
their young ones need to stay alive. There are many other people that
become homeless for many different reasons. Some of these people can not
help becoming homeless. Some of these people are ...

... (pg.35) The hidden curriculum is a theory that boys often get more attention than girls in the classroom, and that even if it is negative attention, the girls learn that they are not as important, and they eventually give up hope, and stop speaking out in class. “Educators reward assertiveness and aggression over docility, the very behavior that is prized in girls becomes and obstacle to their success.”(p.36) This means that while girls are acting the way a teacher would like them to, the boys that are more aggressive get the attention, and the girls lose their self-esteem. “Charles L. Richman found that high achieving white girls in particular are subject to u ...
