... which resulted in many stereotypes. The early gangs helped each other, while the gangs today are looking to be loved or notice by others, and then everybody in society have options about every thing that they do.
Back in the day, before all the guns and drugs, gangs where simple. All their was, were knifes, leather, and your ‘hood and peeps. Back then, gangs were spontaneous and unplanned (Roth 698). There was no set leader, no set ways about doing things. If there was a fight going on and one of their members was in it the others would jump in too. Most original gangsters (OG) had an attachment to their ‘hood or territory (Roth 698). They stood up ...

Teaching Ethical And Moral Values
... not enough to establish a moral foundation for students. The problem is not that the educational system does not want students to receive good moral values but teaching these values can be complicated because of the diversity among students, the responsibility and the lack of willingness to communicate between teachers and students.
Is the American school systems unified in culture and religion? Most Americans would agree that there is a great deal of cultural and religious diversity among the educational system. In order to teach good ethical values the teacher must be non-ethnocentric in the way he/she presents their values. For example, it will be troublesom ...

Death Penalty
... they committed, but it helps the victim’s family and friends to feel a sense of justification for what’s happened to them.
Capital Punishment has been part of the criminal justice system since the earliest of times. The earliest historical record that contains evidence of capital punishment is the Babylonian Hammurabi Code. “It ordered death for crimes as minor as the fraudulent sale of beer. Egyptians could be put to death for disclosing the location of sacred burial sites.” During the time of the code you were put to death for the smallest crimes, which now would be a minor offense or even considered being nothing
Today, capital punishment is still apparent in so ...

I, Robot, A Metaphorical Analy
... thought carries though childhood, though puberty, and even through adulthood. The people who this applies to are most often scientists. The scientists in i, robot seem to be the people who as moppets, played with putting things together to see what they made. To these people, the robots in the book are just Tinker-Toys, which are very big and have positronic brains. The sponge that made up the brains in a concoction of platinum and iridium which make up a sponge. This sponge, made mostly by trial and error, and just throwing things into "pots" and seeing what it did.

Conversation Of The Huron’s
... world.
Questions would soon arise about how far off Indian beliefs were from the
Christian system. The Jesuits would go on to have debates, over whether to
leave the Indian religion only adding to it, or to force its abandonment.
Later it was decided that the pure Christian creed could sacrifice a meager
portion and the Jesuits could continue to only add onto the Huron’s beliefs.
One obstacle had been overcome but many more were to follow. Perhaps the
biggest being the language barrier between the two. The Jesuits were still
persistent to learn the very hard language. Many times they would
encounter Christian beliefs that not even a word could be developed f ...

Now imagine that you are in a rainstorm next to the same pond. You notice that the pond’s surface was bombarded by thousands of tiny raindrops. The pond’s surface would eventually become turbulent, and the water lilies were being pushed in all different directions. To the fish the water lilies would be getting pushed around by themselves without anything pushing them. Since the water around them would appear invisible, much like the air and space around us, they would be baffled that the water lilies could move around by themselves.
Now imagine that there is fish “scientists” that would concoct clever invention called a “force” in order to hide the ...

Modern Television Changing Ame
... thing is for certain, when it comes to the issue of high quality television; America falls in dead last against Japan, France, and Germany.
The main reason the U.S. has fallen so far behind is because in the early 1950's when television was beginning to be broadcast across the country, the Federal Communications Commission made several bold and new decisions. First, The FCC had to decide on a bandwidth for which all television signals could occupy. The FCC had no problem in selecting a frequency at the time, considering the limited amount of signal producing devices that were available to the public. Second, the amount of resolution that the television sets cou ...

Egalitarian Language
... racist or
sexist in some way, but that, no matter what color or sex, people are born
with different natural skills which can help them to succeed in areas that
someone else could not therefore they are not equal.
The only possible way to mold our language towards an egalitarian
society would be to outlaw certain words and phrases. This law would be
virtually impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people,
not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to
enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of
every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal
word was said and issue a ticket o ...
