Role Of The Sexes
... into our society. The men are raised to lead and take charge. Women, on the other hand, are taught that their place is to keep peace, and in most scenarios that means conforming. There are many reasons women accept or allow this role. For many women, they find safety in allowing the male to dominate the relationship. The submissive role is familiar or so expected that the women fear changing the situation. Many authors illustrate this and portray some reasons and situations that are common in our society, such as Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, in her story “The Hand”, and James Joyce, in “Eveline”. These two authors both, even though each describes a woman in a very ...

Capital Punishment
... of happiness with equal opportunities. This is the basis for our society. It is the foundation on which everything else is built upon. When someone willfully and flagrantly attacks this foundation by murdering another, robbing them of all they are, and all they will ever be, then that person can no longer be a part of this society. The only method that completely separates cold-blooded murderers from our society is the death penalty. Many places all over the world have used the death penalty at one point or another. The Ancient Romans and the Judaic cultures practiced retributive justice. That type of justice uses the rule "an eye for an eye." The United States pic ...

Bias In Printmedia
... in some cases. In The Toronto Star on October 23, 1999, the article “ Pregnancy biggest threat to women, V.N. says” uses statistics to give an estimation, “ an estimated 585,000 women do every year”. This article explains how pregnancy affects many women. By using this statistic, it gives the reader an approximation, but not an exact number. This is used to make the reader think that the statistic is very high. Another article in The Toronto Star, “Tamil health crisis probed”, on October 29, 1999,demostrates bias by saying, “ At least 70,000 people”. The article is talking about the Tamil community and how 70,000 people have been affected, but it does not g ...

The Uniqueness Of The American Constitution
... protects its people economically, religiously, politically, and socially.
Power is a delicate element and the Constitution is careful in defining
where certain powers lie. One of the novelties about this doctrine is that it
does a clever job of dividing certain powers between the state and federal
governments. Monetary units, for example, are issued exclusively by the federal
government. This is not only more convenient for traveling purposes, but also
allows for a more 'united' spirit. People in California can easily view a
commercial for a product affiliated with New York without having to translate
the cost or watch the television screen scroll ...

Terrorist Bombs In The U.S.
... and well known forms of
terrorism are bombings. Most of the violence associated with
anti-governmental attacks takes this form. According to a
recent Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) report,
bombings or attempted bombings increased from 2,098 in 1990 to
3,199 in 1994 (the latest year available), a 52% increase.
Property damage from bombings rose to $7.5 million, with 308
people injured and 31 killed. This does not take into account
the tragic Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Some ATF experts
believe that it is the ready availability of materials and easy
access to instructions and explosives information on the
internet that has been the reason ...
