Morality: The Pre-existing And Universal Code
... in which man exists, to seperate good from bad, and right from wrong,
and every society should strive to discover and achieve these principals.
Morality should not change over time even though cultures and social
stratifications do, what was morally right three thousand years ago is morally
right today and should be morally right three thousand years from now. Only
with universal principles can we as collective society discover what is right,
what is wrong, and what is best, therefore there exists not modern morality but
simply morality.
An empirical philosopher, W.T. Stace, argues that if we believe all
morals are culturally relative, it is impossible for ...

Why Teens Are So Stressed Out
... free time only to gain mental strain. Constant hovering over textbooks and periods of elongated sitting caused by studying lead to great amounts of physical fatigue. In addition, most hardworking teens have to stay up late during the night to complete assignments. This leads to a severe loss of valuable sleep. After having to get up with only two or three hours of sleep behind them, a teen is very sleepy and aggressive. Most under-rested teens are angered very quickly. School work also leads to a lack of free time. If a teen is always working, he or she will have very little time to do anything else. This leaves desires unfulfilled and hobbies unpractic ...

Interracial Children
... is finding their identity. "What are you?" is one of the most commonly asked questions that biracial children have to answer to. Being unable to give a one race answer causes problems for both the child and whom ever they are talking to. Many people do not understand how someone can be two or more races. In their eyes you can only have one race. Since being biracial is not normal to them, they look down on these people. This kind of behavior can make growing up especially hard for children. In the past children were identified by the parent of color. If one parent were black, then the child's race was black also. But if the child were able to pass as whit ...

Spousal Abuse
... an abuser to live with what they’ve done. For abusers, denial is a coping mechanism that allows abusers to continue harming other people and live with themselves by refusing to accept that they are doing anything wrong. It is a way that abusers commit abuse and still live with themselves. Denial allows them to continue being abusive by hiding the sickness from others so they can maintain the abusive situation for a longer time.
Billboards, radio, and TV ads across the country proclaim that “every fifteen seconds a woman is beaten by a man.” Violence against women is clearly a problem of national importance, but has anyone ever asked how often men are beaten by ...

Slavery - Causes
... Their were a number of
different reasons why the population of Indentured Servents had decreased.
The indentured servents were running away from their temporary masters, to
find a job where he could become more independent. Indentured servents
were also dying of many diseases, which was caused by harsh conditions. The
immigration of servents thus declined, becuase of the people in England
being informed of the harsh treatment in the colonies. The society was
where the land was easy to find, while the labor was most scarce.
Indentured servitude, was a form of labor which was declining, and the need
for labor increased rapidly.
In the 1600's, when tobacco ...

Hardships That Children Face
... directed at the child. Instead it can be more harmful to the child’s emotional being and esteem.
The first thing that must be understood is that any child at a young age does two things. The first that a child does is learn. Now this can be good things, but the same child can and will pick up the bad things. This is a huge injustice because the child is basically being programmed before he or she has the chance to make up his or her mind. Hate can become acceptable in many forms such as bigotry, racism, or sexism. By the words and actions of a parent the child can be abused, which will in turn lead to the second thing that a child does and that is grow. ...

Does The Mass Media Cause Undesireable Social Consequences With Specific Reference To Pornography
... television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media does not cause undesirable social behaviour a ...

Why Are There Poor People
... them some change, or why a family was
searching through the dumpster. I asked, "Daddy, why is that man sleeping on
the street?"
My dad spent a long time explaining to me that not everybody had the
same life as our family did. Some kids parents didn't have jobs to go to every
day, or cars to take them wherever they needed to go, and not every family in
the world had breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. He told me that I was
very lucky to have all the things that I had, and that millions of kids in the
world would die to have the life I had. I was still very confused about the
whole situation. Why wasn't every family like ours? What did those people do ...

More Freedom Or Safety -- What Would You Choose?
... I could choose to either have more individual freedom and less
safety or the individual freedom and safety that I presently have, I would
want to continue living the way that I currently live. I do think that
individual freedom in the United States means the freedom to pursuit and
attain one’s individual potential and that the possession of firearms or
weapons by a student in a school is in no way in keeping with that idea.
Additionally, many students probably are incapable of properly using a gun
and that makes it even more dangerous for them to have one. Even though
Bishop Eustace does not have metal detectors nor are the students searched
when they enter a ...

Knights And Chivalry
... for
the Virgin Mary played a part in this concept. Chivalric ideals influenced
the founding of religious military orders during the period of the Crusades,
among them the Templars and the Hospitalers, the Teutonic Knights, and the
Spanish orders of Alcantara, Calatrava, and Santiago. In the late Middle
Ages, rulers formed secular orders of chivalry such as the English Order of
the Garter and the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time,
however, chivalry had become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in
which knights had originally risked their lives in jousting combat before
the ladies, became simply elaborate, stylized, and harmless enter ...
