... John Smith implemented poor immigrants into the system of indentured servitude. This system was used to exploit the poor immigrants in order to make up for a diminishing labor force in Virginia until 1619 when African Americans were brought over and treated as indentured servants. However this African American servitude quickly progressed into slavery as tobacco became more of the backbone of the economy. For many years the issue of civil rights for African Americans was left unanswered. Until slowly African Americans and abolitionists of slavery banded together in order to resurrect the human rights of African Americans. At the same time a small women's movement s ...

... and often show things that cannot be experienced in the country or area where the school is located. I think that this is an excellent use of television and more use should be made of it in education, because it offers many advantages to classroom teaching. The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people generally happier. These programs should be enc ...

... they deserve special privileges in a lot of cases. I think that this is because they are very sensitive to there being discriminated against. It is also my opinion that not as much discrimination occurs as they imagine. Sometimes I hear an African American insisting on not being referred to as "Black" but in the same sentence accusing "Whites" of referring to them asa blacks. We "Whites" really don't think much of that statement because in all honesty we are not intimidated by these groups, and with good reason.

... I was brought up by loving parents that among others things taught me to be true to my feelings and to express them truthfully. Jean-Jacues Rousseau's theory about corruption relates to the "clean slate" idea. He stated that corruption come from society. So if one is not influenced positively they may end up corrupt and be a hindrance on society. If a child grows up in a "dysfunctional family" they may be at a disadvantage to a child like my brother who is getting the same social education from my parents and the society we live in. Charles Harton Cooley also touched on the idea of identities. He believed that identities are formed from interactions with people i ...

... of our nation's presidents were members of a Greek association. According to Irving Klepper, the first fraternity (Phi Beta Kappa) was founded for "social and literary purposes" at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on December 5th 1776. After half a century of existence, it became and has since remained a scholarship honor society.

Two years later, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi had been founded at the same college, constituting the so-called Unio ...

... and logic to devise a government where they could complete their goal (Grollier, CD-ROM). They thought that conflict between opposing forces rooted in the economic system and the ownership of property. So, they thought, if we abolish the need for property and wealth, we can bring about world peace. Their answer was the government known today as communism. Almost every modern form of communism is based on Marx's and Engles ideas and writings. So then I thought, why isn't communism an effective government?

... will grow accustom to them. Sam Houston High School has students from all walks of life. These students are in the same clubs and organizations, play the same sports, and are all equally competitive in the same classes.

... Franklin's Autobiography displays the same formula for success he sets for himself, and for others to fallow, that sacrifice is inevitable for success. Franklin in his youth sacrifices childhood dreams to his father's ideals for success. Young Franklin wanted to go out to sea, but instead, his father placed him under an apprenticeship to his brother James, a printer. Later, in pursuit of a better job, he cheated James out of four years of free labor. This not only broke their contract, but their relationship as well.
