... to them. However, some people consider them just a place to hang out. Male adults just need somewhere to go out and fulfill some fantasies by seeing beautiful women dancing erotically. Most men already order erotic television shows and it does help keep marriages together. These adults would become better lovers to their cherished wives. Why can’t graduates have their right to fulfill their sexual fantasies? Should it not be included in the constitution. Casinos are a great money booster in some states. In Nevada all the touring comes from people who want to go to Las Vegas. They go to Las Vegas to gamble and see some Hollywood shows. Nevada is now the thi ...

... would return to their birth parents if given the opportunity. (Lockley 1995, 23) Such statistics help reinforce the belief that birth parents should not be allowed to reclaim their child once adopted. Permitting such reversals would not be considering the best interest of the child nor his or her feelings. Laws and regulations are making readopting a child impracticable for birth parents. Advancing with technology and the rest of the world, laws referring to adoption are also continually undergoing changes. Whether these laws have a positive or negative impact on the adoption controversy, they all are causing the children confusion and pain. Older laws were ...

... having no meaning for or application to us personally; something usually being forced upon us by someone who smells funny and is only seen on holidays. What all of this means is that we can no longer simply follow the examples of old. It is up to us to create new family traditions. Celebrating is not hard. We all know about celebrating and have some ways of doing it. The only challenge is to find new ways. Why do we need to celebrate tradition? It gives us something to look forward to and makes a formal statement that there are some things in life to be grateful for. The notion of honoring tradition is unsettling for some people; let alone creating new ones. ...

... Remember the same holds true for a consumer; "if you waste my time, I will not waste my money." For the past couple of months I have been coping with an algae problem, in my home aquarium, known as greenwater. This is caused by too much light and too much organic matter on which the algae feed. It is not a threat to the fish but turns the water to a cloudy greenish haze in its first stages. Eventually it leads to a near total ‘green out’ of the aquarium obscuring even the fish. Although I had an idea as to how I might deal with this problem I decided to ask at the local fish store to see if some breakthrough product or method has been developed since my stint in the ...

... realizes that it will take time for the problem to be solved. However, with approximately 250 million children working world wide, something must be done. A first step for worldwide awareness is for people to realize that most child labor doesn’t take place in old, run-down factories, but in unregulated parts of the economy such as agriculture and domestic services. Surprising to most, even countries such as the United States still have their share of problems. In a recent awareness swap between American and Bangladesh children, both groups experienced the sight of little kids laboring in sweatshops. Although the UN wants to help, they are somewhat limited in t ...

... of the National Organization for Women (NOW) which was founded in 1966, women have been able to take a step up. NOW helped promote the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution and they are still continuing their efforts. Presently, women are supposed to have the same rights as men, but they are still often discriminated against. The numbers of women who have entered the work force has gone up sufficiently and they have obtained the same types of jobs as men, such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Unfortunately, women’s wages still don’t compare to men’s wages as they should. Often times, men are paid more money when they do the s ...

... are considerable amounts of evidence in sports literature that there is a direct correlation between self- confidence and peak performance. Self-confidence exists in all walks of life. It is defined as: the strong relationships between a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior which if motivated correctly can help an individual excel with confidence in anything they try to do. Most of the time self-confidence is viewed in accordance with how well an athlete performs at a certain sport activity. To examine this further one must look at how an athlete prepares themselves before the task in order to understand how their self-confidence reigns so high when it ...

... us? It has often been found quite interesting. Movies, books, and even talk shows have been made trying to show the harsh reality of the disorder, but how seriously are we expected to take Truddi Chase and the "Troops" when they are on The Oprah Show? How worried are we for Sybil when we remember Sally Field as Gidget? As grim as this disorder is we often don't realize the severity unless we hear it from "the voices." Using the psychoanalytical approach, I will show how past abusive experiences have driven some to MPD. Citing case studies from such books as When Rabbit Howls, The Truddi Chase Story, Sybil, and Jennifer and Herselves the correlation betwee ...

... writing about spiritual relationships between humanity and nature, and the ideas of his good friend Ralph Emerson, he experimented with this new found idea. On July fourth he left on an experience to Walden Pond. He spent two years watching, writing, and feeling the power of nature. The only way Thoreau could encounter a relationship with nature was to become one with the way of the woods, streams, ponds, and animals. Thoreau was also indicative of Emerson's success as a transcendental writer, because they lived together in the same house and shared similar ideas and beliefs. Along with the influence of Thoreau, Emerson was further affected by the writings of W ...

... low-benefit, no-future job in the service sector" (Generation X, pg.5). They each are misunderstood by their parents and are seen as underachievers in a society "that has it easy." It is easy for parents of the "X-ers" to believe this because all they've know is rise. Rise in population, rise in American business, and rise in overall success. These days all jobs are taken. The jobs out there are low paying and demeaning to overqualified applicants. Left only to scrap by, it is not unusual for an "X-er" to feel "Boomer Envy" described as the "envy of material wealth and long-range material security accrued by older members of the baby boom generation by virtue ...
