Blue Collar Student: Are Jobs Good Or Bad?
... give them money.
For example, your friend Jim has a job making sundaes at dairy queen. Jim works
about 24 hours a week and makes $4.50 an hour. At the end of that week , Jim
has $80 that he can call his own. Jim could go to the movies, buy a new pair of
shoes, or do whatever he wants to do with it. Jim worked hard for his money and
after all, it is his money. Another alternative to spending this hard earned
money is to save it in a bank and use it for college.
This is all fine and dandy but what about school and the homework teachers send
home. If a student does have a part time job when will he get this work done.
Part time jobs can take away the precious t ...

Sports In Today's Society
... have a certain respect for the other team.
Yet, many people still question the ethics of professional sports. Do these men
and women who get paid for their talent still have respect for themselves, the
fans, and the opposing team?
Sports such as Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey are prime
examples of how some athletes display their sportsmanship. These signs of bad
sportsmanship are sometimes fighting or acting irrational just because the team
lost the game, missed a catch or block, dropped the ball, or simply not doing
better than they thought. Many times you can hear or read such events in the
paper or on television. Dennis Rodman is an excellent ex ...

On Love And Hate
... more we understand something hated, the more our hatred
becomes sadness or pity, or deepens to a hatred of that which caused
whatever it was that we did not understand. In the latter case, the hatred
may increase with understanding, but the object of the hatred has shifted.
We are given a wide range of paths for dealing with our hatred, from
the altruistic to the reactionary. The altruists, wishing peace without
societal discord, tell us to repress our hatred and replace it with love, a
path bound eventually for emotive explosion and breakdown. The diametric
path gives us a series of smaller explosions with promise of emotional
stability as a result of co ...

Bad Choosers
... been definitely identified. However, the clear
victor here should be the female. From start to finish, with a layover at child
birth, women tend to live easier lives. Men run the government. Men go to war.
Men encounter more obligation inside and out of the family.
When looking at specific instances, life may equally challenge the two.
Both must acquire food. It is noteworthy that men generally eat more than women.
United States law mandates that both complete a certain amount of schooling.
Both must toil through the identity crisis of adolescence, followed by the mid-
life crisis of aging, and lastly, the mortality crisis in their elder years.

Outdoors Or TV?
... violent and committing crimes is
because, they sit in front of the stupid TV all day long. They don't spend
enough time outdoors, hunting, fishing, surfing, and doing all those fun
exciting things.
The outdoors offers so much to do and takes your mind off reality and
into the fun world. When you are outdoors you are free as a bird and there
aren't too many rules. The one rule I go by is; “have fun.” When you're
outdoors you don't have to think about being robbed or hurt by crazy people
because, they stay in the city.
If you are outdoors you can't watch TV. That means that there would be
fewer kids wanting to join gangs and probably less violence. That w ...

Rationalism
... everything that he knew. He even felt that our sense perceptions were merely illusions or hallucinations.
…I shall then suppose, not that God who is supremely good
and the fountain of truth, but some evil genius not less powerful
than deceitful, has employed his whole energies in deceiving me;
I shall consider that the heavens, the earth, colors, figures, sound,
and all other external things are nought but the illusions and
dreams of which this genius has availed himself in order to lay
traps for my credulity… (330)
Ultimately, Descartes discovered what he felt was the one irrefutable truth. He could not doubt that he existed, and he also could not ...

Prostitution: A Victimless Crime?
... every attack by civilization to end it. Some would say that for as long as people have both money and sexual frustration some would continue to pay others to satisfy them. Prostitution should be made legitament by saving taxpayers money form not having to inforce the laws, creating red light districts and regulation.
One could argue that as for as crimes go prostitution is a victimless crime, but others would say that it is a matter of public safety and disease control. Would harsher laws end prostitution or result in a lot of persons getting their car impounded? Regardless as to what effects harsher laws will have on prostitution, new laws are still being tri ...

Television Violence
... survey was given in London by the Broadcasting Standard Council( BSC ).
When people were asked if they thought T.V. effected the way people behaved
41% said yes, 4% left without finishing the survey, and 55% said that they
didn't think it effected the way people acted(14).
As seen in the survey the problem of television violence is being made
more aware to the people of the world. The problem has also grown over the
years to a more serious dilemma making the government start to try and solve
the problem by initiating laws in which television stations must limit violence
on T.V.(6). It is still not enough though the problem must be taken care of
promptly before it ...

Third World Countries
... of good living conditions, lack of jobs and there is no industry,
therefore no import or export revenue. The governments of the "Third
World" countries have done horrible jobs of creating good living conditions
for their people and in all have not tried to bring their country out of
their economic slump.
As Canada entered it second century, Prime Minister Trudeau called for
a complete review of Canada's foreign policy. Starting in 1968 interested
Canadians including politicians, journalists, professors, business leaders,
financial experts, as well as church and labour leaders were invited to
offer opinions and advice in what was called the Trudeau Review. ...

I Am A Feminist - Hear Me Roar!
... Now to be a feminist, you must believe abortion is a woman's basic right, preferential treatment policies such as Affirmative Action are just because ''they correct past discrimination against women and minorities,'' forgetting the tool that is fighting the past discrimination is discrimination in itself, women continue to be oppressed in America by white males, and other laws and policies that give women more rights than other groups are fair due to women's past oppression. If you even disagree with only one of these issues, you're considered part of the right-wing backlash against the women's movement.
Feminists that disagree with this description say that all ...
