The Different Ways Of Raising Children
... school clubs, the parents do not want their children to spend too much time outside. In contrast, the children who raised in the United States can go outside more freely. In fact, all of the parents are scared of their children having accidents. However, most of the parents in the United States prefer their children to have more outside activities than just stay at home. In addition, most of the children in Hong Kong have no human rights than the children who are raised in the United States. Traditionally, many parents in Hong Kong punish their children by hitting when they make some mistakes. Because of there are no formal laws to protect the children from ge ...

Public School Issues
... debate in recent years. “Proponents decry the Anglo-centric bias of traditional learning materials and argue for the integration of more diverse, positive images, historical role models, and in general, a more balanced view of history that represents the experiences and perspectives of marginalized groups.”
Critics of this multiculturalism movement have opposing views. Many see the program as divisive and even ”anti-American” because it encourages students to find their ethnic identity instead of trying to identify with a united American culture. It is also a common belief that a “alternative” cultural education would impede the progress of the basic learning ski ...

Sex Discrimination
... work force in companies but hardly any seem to
have any power. Obstacles in the way of woman in careers, ifwomen
prefer different jobs to men, equal pay for both sexes and what's changed
since the law was made an Act of Parliament. This essay will only
concentrate on the problem of sex discrimination in the U.K.
Sex discrimination means that a person gets treated in a less favorable
manner because of their sex. A good example of this is to take two fictional
characters, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The Jones's want to go swimming, they get
to the swimming baths where they find that Mrs. Jones is charged an O.A.P.
price while Mr. Jones has to pay the full price even though ...

Arguments Against The Relativists Theory
... there is no absolute standard by which they could be compared. In
the above case, this position would not allow for the American and British
soldiers to interfere with the Nazis; the relativist would claim that the
Allies were wrong in fighting the Germans due to a cultural disagreement.
In truth, it is the relativist position which has both negative logical and
practical consequences, and negligible benefits.
The first logical consequence of relativism is that the believer must
contradict himself in order to uphold his belief. The view states that all
ethics are relative while putting forth the idea that no absolute standard
of rightness exists. If thi ...

Social Effects Of The Vietnam War On The United States
... make a full scale revolution against their French oppressors. The leader of the Vietnamese independence movement was Ho Chi Minh. (1) Ho Chi Minh became a communist in 1920, and he wanted to bring communism to Vietnam after they won their independence. Ho Chi Minh formed the league for the independence of Vietnam that was called the Vietminh.
During World War II the Japanese took over the French rule of Vietnam. Since America was fighting the Japanese as well they shared information with Vietnam to defeat Japan. After World War II had ended Vietnam, for a short time, became independent. However, President Trueman decided to support the French to regain Viet ...

The Media
... that the only reason that big news
companies just need filler for their network, so they go to another country to
find some story on miserable people. If I was in some tribe in Africa or
something I would not want anyone bothering me by putting a camera in my face.
I would want the money to buy food, but if someone over in America just needed
my story for filler, I wouldn't be too happy.
It should be the tribe's leader that should have to get the tribe out of
trouble in any way that he could. It is not our business to send them our money
to get food for the people that got themselves into trouble, but I think it
makes people feel good to donate things to need ...

War Between Sexes
... says " It has been a horrible problem for women for all of recorded history" (Paglia 406). She relates her Italian heritage to the old traditional punishments of the rapists. Since there is still social injustice between sexes and the biological difference between the genders, she conflicts with feminist arguments such as equality of men and women, sexual freedom, and ability of both sexes going any place any time. Academic Feminism is lost in the mist of social constructionism and we are not the products of the environment. Furthermore, according to Paglia men and women are in a war in which men are masculine, fighting for their identity. Women are trying to expl ...

"Japan's Education System Is Successful"
... The
child worries about passing tough exams and wants to go to school. The
family of Japan coaxes its children and gives them the mind set of being
mediocre is nothing. Japan also maintains a hard curriculum that pushes
the student to his optimum efficiency. The teaches in Japan do not compare
children's accomplishments and what they have not done. This allows the
student to proceed with their peers at maximum rate.
The Japanese strive for equality. They recognized how hard a student
can work and how fast he can learn. The student can take entrance exams.
Bright, hard-working students that come from poor families have a better
chance of being admitted to ...

Other Minds
... logical certainties - we are not aiming to show that
any propositions about other minds can be demonstrated with absolute
certainty equivalent to that of mathematical truths. Philosophy ever since
Descartes has tended to be defined by scepticism: either it aims to
produce sceptical theories or it aims to refute them. And sceptics tend
towards extremity in their doubts. It must be stated here and now that
there are not, and never can be, any theories that prove demonstratively
that other minds exist, or that I know others’ mental states. This is not
what should be aimed at in attempting to solve the problem. As Austin puts
it "To suppose that the question ‘How do I ...

Lesbian By Choice
... their sexual preference (Marrow, 1997). This is an interesting figure when you consider of those above women, some admitted to having sexual encounters with other women. I believe the choice is heavily tied to our culture, family values, and surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream?
Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is ref ...
