... it will clog pores and cause acne. This time could be used more productively by perhaps eating a healthier breakfast, exercising or getting to school earlier to prepare for classes. Liane Faulder of the Edmonton Journal says, "Part of the problem with worrying about how you look is that it drains you of time, money and energy which you could use for other things.

The debate over transracial adoption is whether or not it is in the best interest of the child. The problem in today's society is that foster care is preferred over transracial adoption.

... as equals, however, more attention is directed towards discrimination towards women. In the 1990s, the men's movement arose in society to try and deal with the problem of sexism against men. This movement came about due to a medley of factors: women's criticisms of men's shortcomings as husbands, fathers, and lovers; the debilitating pressures of the economy and men's unequal responsibility to succeed in the workplace, to prove their worth by making money; and men's confusion over what it means to be a man today. There are many stereotypes about men and women that are heard every day. The most common, however, is how men are considered jerks. That is one of th ...

... as Telegraph Avenue is a difficult task. This observation process, which took place on Telegraph Avenue watching the homeless at "work", was difficult because of the wealth of information one could find in simply watching as one person asked another for money. We looked for a number of signals in the interactions, considering people's ages, how they reacted physically, whether or not they communicated verbally, their demeanor throughout the interaction, and the importance of eye-contact. We must also wrestle with the ambiguity of the power structure within the situation, because it is not nearly as clear as it seems. In the end, we will try to decipher the true na ...

... dad comes home everyday and watches the news with a beer in his hand, that is what the boy will think is what a man should do. Just as if a father treats his wife badly, a young boy will pick up on this behavior and think it is acceptable for a man to treat a women that way. The reverse is also true.

Crying is for girls or for homosexuals, it is thought. Over time this causes many bottled up feelings and results in a violent temper. Men are just as prone to be hurt as wome ...

... President Clinton proclaimed, “A gun in the hands of a young person is a crime or accident waiting to happen.” Now, no matter how much publicity he got from saying that, it doesn’t reflect reality. I’d like to remind our president, with a father or uncle, older brother, or friend, that “A gun in the hands of a young person” is probably the most effective tool available for teaching personnel responsibility, sportsmanship, safety, ethics of hunting, and the achievement of marksmanship, and much more. For many young people being allowed to own a firearm is a maturing experience. For example, the trust given to a son or daughter is very important, because that m ...
