... From July 19,through March 31, 1993 a total of 3,665 domestic violence cases were reviewed in Portland Oregon. Of those, only 281 cases resulted in some action taken against the accused abuser. Some of this is because there is not enough police, but it is mostly because the abused person is scared. For the last six months of 1993 and the first three months of 1994 Portland averaged about 1,000 calls each month or 12,000 calls a year. In January 1992, 30 criminal domestic violence complaints were issued. For January 1994, the number was more than 100. Nationally, estimates range from 2 to 4 million women assaults each year.

... has already signed the V-chip legislation into law, it remains at the heart of a heated political battle. The strongest objection raised to the V-chip by its opponents is that it violates the First Amendment Rights of the broadcasters. They claim that the government is imposing a system of censorship that will lead to "blander" and "less dramatic" television (“V-Chip: A Matter of Law” 21). Representative Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who spearheaded the drive for the V-chip, argues that there is nothing in the legislation that limits the content of programs. He, and other supporters of the V-chip, said that the broadcasters would still be able to air any programming t ...

... The third reason is that help is available. A man who physically abuses a woman can not be stopped unless he is given counseling, jailed, or killed. He will continue to abuse until he is stopped, and ignoring the problem will definitely not help it go away. Husbands and boyfriends send more women to the hospital each year than strangers do (Campbell 95). The US Surgeon General reports that, “domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to American women between the ages of fifteen and forty- four” (Briggs and Davis 94) . Abusers need to be stopped before its too late for their victims. Women are not the only victims of abuse. Children who live in a sit ...

... What needs to happen is, every person on this earth out of the many billions that there are, needs to take responsibility of his/her actions. Chaos, mayhem, disturbance, turmoil, pandemonium, uproar. Is this what we want in our world today? Although people are afraid to say it, it is obvious that if we all do not think before we do things, these events that I described could occur in the near future. Many people are in belief that chaos, mayhem, and even anarchy will not occur in their lifetimes. And most possibly what they think is true, but they don't show helpfulness towards they younger generations. By making a large pothole, it may be very di ...

... Naturalism and Regionalism were constructed from the same , they each had different goals. Naturalism felt writing was a way to educate people about hard realities, so that change could occur. Regionalism sought to establish a common culture, such as cultural diffusion might accomplish. For instance, writings like these could educate certain groups about eachother. grew in this Country as a result of war and industrial hardships. Regionalism grew because of great improvements in transporation. Jack London, a Naturalist, lost his father at a young age and had to cope. He also witnessed first-hand, the casualties of the California Gold Rush. “Buck did not read ...

... that historically and typically has been granted to Whites. For Whites, a scandalous paradox occurs when a person possessing neither legal rights nor social status receives preference over someone possessing both. An example is seen when a black person is given a position over a white person that historically has been granted to whites. “(The Journal Of Applied Behavioral Science, vol.34)” Gays and lesbians are other groups affected by discrimination. There have been many suits filed for people being fired of their sexual preference. There was case of Daniel C. Miller, a CPA in Pennsylvania, who was openly fired recently because he was gay. Miller sued fo ...

... or their country, the more they can help out the better. The government of China you probably already know, it's one of the last communist governments left in the world. In a communist government the government runs everything, the businesses and jobs, they pay everyone equally. This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a Democrati ...

... the Tutsis' culture, but about the whole continent of Africa. The first topic that I will cover is about the people that make up the tribes of the Hutu and Tutsi. The total population of the country of Rwanda, where most of their events have taken place is 7,800,000. The population of the Hutus is 3,000,000 and the Tutsis number only 1,000,000. The physical traits of the Hutus and Tutsis are very different from each other. The Hutu have larger noses and larger all around facial features than the Tutsis. Most Tutsis are seldom less than six feet tall, while the Hutu are very short people. The Tutsis are related to the Masai and the people along the Nile, while ...

... unions, sports teams, etc. work together to keep society working as a whole. The family, for example, raises children and provides them with the love and nourishment children need. The family is not expected to thoroughly teach children about god. The church is there to provide the child with a religion to believe in. With both of those institution working together the child wouldn’t get both a good home and a healthy spiritual up bringing. Each one of the institutions is interdependent on the other. Another example is schools and the work force. The schools have to prepare people to be able to work in society. People would not be able to work if they weren ...

... amount of time. Some fast food restaurants may include: Burger King, McDonalds, Subway, or Kentucky Fried Chicken. Fast food would be an easy solution to the problem of the time factor. Fast food can easily be recognized when you enter the parking lot. For fast food the parking lot is more accessible to people(less landscaping), more entrances and exit doors(for more saved time). Once entering the building one can distinguish a fast food restaurant, by the high traffic tile floors, plastic bench seating that does not move for comfort, and the poor taste of interior design with small amounts of decoration. These buildings were meant for eating quickly, and the ...
