... person is placed on this earth with no predisposed "good" or "evil" values, one man is not created with any more good or evil than the next. By the decisions we make in life we create oursel! ves. Next the second view, what man chooses for himself he chooses for everyone else. This is a view I really believe in. Everything we do in life effects someone else, whether we no it or not. Every time we drive our car. Every time we eat something, spend money, go for a jog someone else is effected. For an example: a man goes to the store and buys a stereo. First of all the clerk the clerk is effected because they have to check you out, so you have taken some of their ...

... love with "being in love" will sacrifice the game in order to be with that person. What is the greatest power of potential human speech? (words, language) All humans have the power to communicate with other humans, interact, and share their ideas. The power of speech is what makes it all possible. Communication is the most important thing in the success of a relationship, and for someone to say that they love another is to respect them and their ideas and to want to share with them. The most anyone can ever do for you is listen, and the only way to do that is to communicate that you want to be listened to and that you are willing to listen to the one you lov ...

... will our differences always come between us? Looking around today it might seem a little odd for Clinton to call for racial healing. “For now, no cities are burning. No divisive events like the O.J. Simpson trial are preoccupying Americans. Among African-Americans overall, income, life expectancy and employment have been rising.” A Gallup poll released in early June showed that 74% of the black respondents said they were satisfied with the way things were going in their personal lives and also with their standard of living. Among whites, levels of acceptance and tolerance are unprecedented. For example, 93% of whites, a higher percentage than of blacks, sai ...

... decision in the series of Supreme Court cases dealing with Jim Crow laws, the laws dealing with racial segregation, and whether or not the idea of separate but equal was constitutional. Justice Brown, in his decision explained to the court that Plessies arguments about the Louisiana law forcing blacks and whites to ride in separate cars on trains was unconstitutional was wrong. The court believed that the law was not in conflict with the thirteenth amendment because forcing blacks to ride on separate trains was not slavery, what the thirteenth banned. Slavery was involuntary servitude, and the Louisiana law was forcing no involuntary servitude. The fourteenth amend ...

... of the written books and documents and even diaries on slavery were written by the white masters. At that time most of recorded history was based on how the white masters viewed slavery. You did not get a view on slavery from the slaves themselves. In the 1920's, black scholars like W.E.B. Du Bois, Charles Johnson, and Carter Woodson, started a project to collect oral evidence from former slaves who were still living. Even these interviews could not be viewed as 100% accurate. One example, is a geographic bias. The people that were interviewed were only a very small portion of the millions of freed slaves. Counting the number of slaves interviewed from eac ...

... she would have lost it. Another man, who also wished to not release his name, secured funds through a factoring company to expand his own business, and as a result he is more successful than ever. It is obvious that the factoring companies have provided a valuable service for some, but lets take a look at the dissatisfied customers. Orion Olson was injured at the age of three by a severe dog bite causing vision and neurological problems. When he turned eighteen he was already homeless but soon received the first $7500 installment of the $75,000 settlement. This money quickly took him off the street but did not last long. He then turned to a large factoring c ...

... subconciously monitor others searching for their social identity. In turn, to fit into other groups, we often buy certain labels and styles. This too is a uniform. Clothes send signals and are symbolic to “who we are, what we hold dear to us, and with whom we wish to connect.” (Coles 378) Therefore, in order for society as individuals to feel a sense of belonging it is pertnent we follow the norm. Uniforms in schools especially can have a number of affects on the behavior and how they can be monitored. The number of violent and theft crimes that go on in school will drop tremendously. Fights among students over designer clothing and sneakers will be no more. ...

... harassment. "Psychological texts on sexual harassment outline various forms of behavior ranging from quid pro quo demands for sexual services to hostile jokes and sexual innuendo" (American Psychological Association, 1981, 1991). "Sexual joking, touching, and patting may be considered unwelcome sexual attention to some, but not others" (Gutek, Morasch, and Cohen, 1983). Women more often than men conclude that these forms of sexual harassment are serious and offending. Is there a difference between what men perceive as sexual harassment and what women consider sexual harassment? The purpose of this study is to determine if in fact there is a difference. ...

... result the society as a whole would greatly benefit. How can a list of thirteen virtues change society in the future? After a brief overview of the list I was not impressed. Maybe these would apply to Franklin's day but not to the twentieth century. With a few subtractions and additions the list of virtues may be a helpful tool in any persons life. Temperance is first on the list and is the most important of the virtues. As Franklin states, some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but this was not Franklin's intention. "Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head, which is so necessary where constant vigilance was to be ...
