... feel a personal touch, is trying to re- establish the original methods while using high-tech systems. Thus, as technology increases, we can clearly see attempts to get back to the "old way" through usage of time saving methods. One benefit of high-tech communications systems is the ability to make previously impossible communications possible. Think of the father and son separated by an ocean, one in England, the other in Newfoundland. This is where the telephone plays a role. It facilitates an almost instantaneous connection at a reasonable cost, and bridges a gap. Fortunately, this is now made possible by satellite systems launched into orbit by a rec ...

... for new more peaceful locations. The worst part of the year for the homeless is during the winter. They have to sleep in the freezing cold and many times they even have to sleep in the snow. There are a lot of homeless deaths during the winter beacuse they can't find a warm place to go and they freeze to death. Every year increases. There are two major trends responsible for the rapid growth of homelessness over the past 15-20 years. These two trends include the growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty. How many people are homeless throughout the world? The number of homeless is made up of 58% African American, 29 ...

... feel the financial loss and most importantly receive less support and nurturing from their parents. These are just a few implications of divorce but demonstrates how it changes the lives of children. Each child is unique, so the short and long term functioning of the children after divorce varies widely. Wallerstein and Kelly (1980) observed and interviewed parents and children three times in five years, and reported an estimate of one third of the children come out of divorce unharmed. Another one third function adequately, but experience difficulties, and the remaining one third have severe upsets in their developmental process. However the authors of the "Fa ...

... one must first understand the notion of , the role of the teacher in a contructivist classroom and misconceptions about this learning approach. What is Constructivisim? Fraser and Walberg (1995) state that considers knowledge of the world outside as human construction, although a reality outside the individual is not denied it is claimed that all we know about reality is our own tentative construction. Trowbridge (1996) relates this general view of to teaching by adding that is a model of teaching in which students construct knowledge by interpreting new experiences in the context of prior knowledge, experiences, episodes and images. Thus, as suggested ...

... are based on what the rest of society thinks, peer and social pressure are important to all our decisions. We base the majority of our decisions on the influence our family have on us. Our family brings us up to think and do certain things to better us. We all feel a sense of living up to certain standards that our family puts upon us. In today’s society we all want to be better than everyone else. When we see families which are better, we feel the pressure either from parents or from ourselves to try and improve. We don’t want to compromise the integrity of our family. School is important to all of us and the pressures that come from the schools are high. ...

... has recently sprung from the pressures of political correctness. This new form of racism, although slowly declining, still shows signs of strong support (Piazza 86). Covert racism assumes a form of civil disobedience against politically correct thought and speech. Essentially, covert racism is a "hidden" racism, or a racism not easily detected (Piazza 78). "Racism is still strongly prevalent in today's society" (Gudorf 3). The three different basic forms of racism, open racism, violent racism, and covert racism all express forms of hatred towards distinct ethnic groups (Bender 47). These basic forms of racism, although different in form, all have th ...

... enact their own laws governing marriage and divorce. Despite several efforts to amend the Constitution, to allow Congress to pass federal legislation on divorce, to this day the states retain separate laws. Because divorce laws vary from state to state, the "migratory divorce" developed: couples would move temporarily to a state where divorce was easier to obtain than at home. For example, a couple living in New York State, where until 1967 the only grounds for divorce was adultery, would establish residence in Nevada - - a procedure that took only 6 weeks -- and file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty. Popular attitudes toward divorce changed as the Unit ...

... that embraced emotion before rationality. Romanticism was a reactionary period of history when its seeds became planted in poetry, artwork and literature. The Romantics turned to the poet before the scientist to harbor their convictions (they found that the orderly, mechanistic universe that the Science thrived under was too narrow-minded, systematic and downright heartless in terms of feeling or emotional thought) and it was men such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Germany who wrote "The Sorrows of Young Werther" which epitomized what Romanticism stood for. His character expressed feelings from the heart and gave way to a new trend of expressing emotions ...

... problem with moral egoism? These things are all true, so how can moral egoism be false? Even though on the outside moral egoism appears to be true, when we look deeper we can see that it is not. Moral Egoism states that it is correct for us to do what is in our own best interest, which appears to be true from my previous arguments. When we look deeper though, we soon discover that although most of the time it is correct for us to do what is in our own best interest, sometimes it is not. For example, say I am poor and I am living in an alleyway in New York City. I have no money, no job, and nothing to eat. One day, a nicely dressed businessman comes up to me an ...

... my money to the poor countries. The government is giving these people my money for which I worked hard. The government does not ask for my permission to give these people my money. By letting these people on our lifeboat the government is drowning us all. "If we do let an extra 10 people in our lifeboat, we will have lost our 'safety factor,' an engineering principle of critical importance" (page 757). I cannot take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk. Instead of giving the money to non Americans it should be used only in America. The money used to help the poorer countries can be very useful in the United States. The middle class p ...
