... down at the electronic typewriter and within a few minutes operate it with amazing ease and speed. According to Paez (1985, 55): A familiar keyboard, which requires fewer keystrokes and has a simpler, less code-intensive user interface, makes the Transition to a high-end typewriter much easier than the Transition to a personal computer with the same functions. Typewriter Flexibility An electronic typewriter can perform some functions computers cannot, but a personal computer (PC) cannot be used a mere typewriter (nor should it be). Perhaps that is why one large survey found that 85% of secretaries who use PC's also use typewriters. Using microchip techn ...

Competition has been the key to China's success: I believe that competition has been the key to China's success. When Mr. Deng opened the free market, it brought the first signs of the farmers becoming more rich since the 1950s. His political genius allowed the farmers to become rich. He also introduced the "open-door policy" which is proving to be very beneficial, as they follow in the footsteps of their strong rich neighbours. Mr. Perkins believed four condi ...

... to live and abide by. It does not mean writing them down on paper and following them as if they are laws, but it simply means taking a practical approach to raising a family. The best way to ensure that these morals are followed by the children is by having the parents follow them as well. Children learn by modeling the authorities and in every family, the authorities are the parents. The parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s behavior because the children act accordingly to what they are taught and what they witness. If the parents set a bad example for behavior, chances are that the children justify any wrong behavior by arguing that ...

... research in the field. Finally, and most astonishing, he argues that Sociology cannot be “generalized,” sociology must take each individual in “society” and treat him as a separate entity. Then it must focus on the “objective” structures of society, such as the church and family, to see how the “individual” is molded. Durkheim makes some great points in this article and his argument is strong. I agree with almost everything that he is claiming in this article. How Sociology cannot be general in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, how society shapes the individual through the various institutions in society. On the other hand, the manifestations about hi ...

... ago because they learned how to hunt, gather, and develop a kind of communication. However, times and environment have changed over the many years. As environment gradually grew into civilization, people started to have many questions about nature, the earth, and life. So, they turned to a higher level of education, back then it was probably religion. Hence, the people relied on priests for answers. While time passed by, people realize that they could now find the answers to their questions from knowledge learned from education. For this reason, a school system was developed to teach the people.

... that their memories have been affected in different ways, causing the discrepancies in their individual recollections. i, however, see it as proof that perceptions are constantly changing, and can be tricked(quite easily i might add). The facts are never solid. after all, we know that hallucination is possible, but not always when. Then there is the subject of hallucinogens. Lsd, psylocibin(the chemical in mushrooms), etc. are known to cause hallucinations. but again, i ask, how can we know for sure. i believe that question is a rhetorical one, the obvious answer is that we dont know. it could be that these drugs are a doorway into, not out of, r ...

... want to end their marriage, and then decides weather or not to grant them a divorce. In the past, the judge order the man to pay considerable alimony, give up some of their property, and take on most of the responsibility of supporting their children. There were two main reasons for this, first, majority of divorced women did not have a job and needed money to help support the children. Secondly, because the man was the "guilty" spouse and the guilty spouse could not receive alimony. Today Judges realize that woman have qualifications for well paying jobs and do not need to be supported fully by their ex-husbands. They can also file for no-fault divorces. No-fa ...

... Be Legalized?" is total against legalizing drugs. I will the two author's arguments. They have very few agreements. Some agreements that they agree on are about the affect drugs have on people and society. They both agree that drugs are a scourge that is devastating our society (pg.934). Also they agree that drugs are running the lives of many young people (pg. 934). In "An Open Letter to Bill Bennett", Friedman address Bennett mistake in failing to see the many problem drugs will create if drugs were to be legalized. One problem that Friedman points out is black marketing. He believes that by making drug legal, there will be sold in regulated stores and i ...

... into people who can not think for ourselves. An example of this would be the giant "American War Machine." The government says we need all these weapons to protect America. They do not say who we need protection from. In fact there really is no one we need to be protected from. The Soviet Union is no more and the rest of the world is already years behind in technology. Then why do we spend billions of our dollars on weapons. We spend in order to line the pockets of weapon manufactures. If we thought for ourselves then we would realize that the peop[le in power do not pay us enough or that they are doing underhanded illegal transactions. If we tho ...
