... it's a way of expressing themselves. Despite the reasons for dressing the way they do, Goths still do not deserve to be judged. It's not right to do that to anyone. As a very young teen, Rachel always liked looking at and up to the "freaks" or "Goths." It was then she decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was thirteen she began to dress in "black" and it made her realize that she was expressing herself more than she ever had before. Rachel also likes dressing this way because it "gives [her] a certain thrill and satisfaction with [herself]." Today, Rachel's reasons for dressing the way she does are still the same. It's strange, but she says that she ...

... women and children slaves worked. Black men, women and children slaves tended Master’s fields from sun up to sun down. Black men, women and children slaves cleaned Master great house. Black women slaves were raped, beaten, gave birth to Master’s sons and daughters, mothered and raised his children. Black slaves were spit upon, urinated on, were hose downed, fought segregated wars, denied the right to vote, and were classified as less than human. Black slaves built America with bare hands, blood, sweat and tears. As such, Slaves Descendant should be compensated for our Ancestors over 440 years of labor without pay. Will Slaves Descendant ever be compensated wi ...

... regions of China are Peking or Northern China, Shanghai or Eastern China, Szechwan or Western China, Canton or Southern China. Peking the largest area, is comprised of Inner Mongolia, Hopei, Honan, Shantung, Shansi, and Shensi provinces. Wheat, millet, sorghum, peanuts, corn, and soybeans are the main crops of the region. Chinese leaf, cucumber, and celery are the main vegetables of the region. Noodles, steamed breads and buns are more popular than rice, unlike in southern China. Mongol cuisine has influenced Peking greatly. This is made obvious in the way that this region’s people use mutton and lamb more than in other regions. Without a doubt, the one dish that h ...

... just concern parents and educators, but should also open the eyes of politicians, physicians, and public health advocates. (Gadcow) Every week young people, from age two and up, view an average of 16 to 17 hours of television.(Klein) With every two to three hours spent each day watching the tube, children experience many acts of violence and sex. The National Television Violence Study reviewed three years, almost 10000 hours, of television programming. They found that 61% of the programming contained some kind of violent act, with children’s shows being the most violent. Despite the publics concern with the violence, nothing in the media changed over the three yea ...

... past and continuing discrimination against historically marginalized and disenfranchised groups in American society. Working as it should, it affords groups greater equality of opportunity in a social context marked by substantial inequalities and structural forces that impede a fair assessment of their capabilities. Perhaps the biggest complaint that one hears about affirmative action policies aimed at helping Black Americans is that they violate the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and the Civil Rights laws., The claim is that these programs distort what is now a level playing field and bestow preferential treatment on understanding minorities because o ...

... specific programs. Now, the federal money allocated for public assistance is sent to the states in block grants. The federal role is limited to setting goals, establishing financial penalties, and giving rewards (Froomkin, Dan). States and even counties are designing their own programs for the poor picking and choosing from approaches they hope will get results. Many of the new approaches require subjective judgments. A human being has to decide when individual recipients are ready for work and should be cut off from assistance. Those responsibilities are falling to welfare caseworkers, who in the past did little more than hand over checks. The old system w ...

... down the road. The ability to be creative is an important factor in the development of a young child’s mind. By sitting down and watching TV for a couple hours, the child is entertained, but is also not thinking. Information in spoon-fed to them, so when it comes time to read a book in school, some can have a hard time grasping ideas. They are so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or reading a book could also be fun. They could act ...

... 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 ...

... ages are effected differently by divorce. According to Dr. Hodges and Dr. Bloom (1984), who are Psychology professors, “ the effect of age of the child on the response to the divorce of parents can be examined in three general age groups: preschool, latency (or elementary age) and adolescence”. Each of these age groups showed to respond differently. The preschool age children respond to marital separation with regression, anger, tantrums, aggression and anxiety. The Latency age group shows less impact although some symptoms are common such as anxiety and depression. Finally, the adolescence age showed symptoms such as trouble with the law, drugs, sexual ac ...

... or fraternity house across the nation, and that phrase summarizes college life for most male students. With the added pressures of grades, girls, and life: it's an easy way to find a release that many video games offer. Unfortunetly, this fun and relaxing pastime comes with its own consequenses. Many guys start every night with the idea of finishing much of their homework in one sitting, but that one roommate, suite mate, or just that guy down the hall comes in with the bright idea to put all that away and start up a friendly rivalry. Because of such novelties as PlayStation, Nintendo 64, or the good old Sega, the grades of many once studious intellectual drops ...
