... weighed over 150 pounds (Tomalin1). Duke Kahanamoka introduced surfing to the United States in 1912 (Weir3). If you asked someone who is the father of surfing, they would probably say, "Duke who?" But mention Kelly Slater and they will not stop talking. Robert Kelly Slater was born February 11, 1912 in Cocoa Beach Florida (Tomlin1). He went to high school and actually graduated. The reason I say this is because most people like Kelly (surfers knowing they are going to go professional) never graduate high school. Kelly grew up in Florida all his life. He was a local hero in central Florida, because everyone knew he was destined to make it as a professional surfer ...

... their peeping later, alone or with a partner, relaying it in the imagination like a videotape. This is the only way they are able to get an erection and reach an orgasm. This paraphilia can affect both females and males, but it is primary a male disorder. Scientists know very little about paraphilia in general. can begin in late childhood or adolescence and continue throughout adult life. Intensity and occurrence of the paraphilia is variable, and it usually decreases as people get older. It might be related to hormonal or development factors that influence brain development before birth. does not emerge until later in life. Regardless of how society lo ...

... care, but a black man’s medical problem gets short shrift”. The article describes a case in which a black man was in need of urgent medical help. Because of his race his case was not given top priority. It was later mentioned that his medical condition could have resulted in death. The issue of racism is certainly not new to the Halifax area. In the 1960’s blacks were ordered out of their village, and in 1980’s Sikh immigrants were called ‘trash’ and told to ‘go home.’ I found the author’ s choice of words quite appropriate when she described the ‘people of the east’ in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Words such as Bluenoser, Gaelic and homogeneity were used to de ...

... reader a clear look at what he believes will happen if there is no change, and Heinlein provides a perspective of how untrue gender stereotypes of the time were. The Puppet Master turns the tables on men and women, by showing that men can cry, and that they can show fear. By comparison the female protagonist (Mary) is shown to be smart, savvy, and able to hold her own (sometimes surpassing) her male comrades. Paul and Anita by contrast have a dysfunctional (and loveless) relationship because society will not allow them to escape from their expected roles in society. The United States of the future (In Player Piano) has been transformed to the point where its appear ...

... or something has to be tested on, and us as humans are the dominant species, therefore; allowing us to perform experiments on other species. The only cruel sides I see to these experiments are when something has already been proven and scientists keep experimenting with the animals. Animal research is a major part of today’s society when thinking of how much progress we have gained in human health with the use of animal experimentation. Vaccines against polio, mumps, measles, rubella, and smallpox would not have been possible without such experiments. Brain surgery, open heart surgery, organ transplants and correction of heart defects would not be as easy as th ...

... and our economic system. On the surface, gangs are caused by peer pressure and greed. Many teens in gangs will pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV ...

... The final component of healthy togetherness is alone time, meaning time apart from your significant other. I feel that this solo time is important so that each person can still be independent and learn to better value the time they have together. Togetherness, with all of its perks, can also be unhealthy. My pet peeve of unhealthy togetherness is when couples spend every moment of their time together. Spending too much time together can cause resentment from each other as well as from friends and family who don't get the time they deserve. I have been the forgotten friend of a girl who spent all of her time with "the love of her life." The relationship las ...

... ad from the lower-left corner in a clockwise circle. The first object one would see is a skull from a Woolly Mammoth, which is symbolic of prehistoric times. The next object, a computer, stands out because it does not fit the pattern of chronological order. Wizards of the Coast and Microprose, the advertisers, use this purposely by drawing attention to the computer and consequently the computer game. The computer falls into another pattern. This pattern goes in the same order, clock-wise, but alternates between Magic (the game) and something pertaining to the background of the game. The next objects are tarot cards and a spell book, both of which follow the ...

... for others even though we know that it is wrong and unfair. In the teenage drama, "Dawson's Creek", the main character's mother is caught having an affair with her co-worker. When asked why she cheated, she replies, "I had a perfect life" and admits that she longed for the feeling of needing something. In spite of the fact that it is just a television show, these instances do occur at a less exaggerated and realistic level. Adultery always breaks the trust in a marriage and often creates hatred toward the unfaithful spouse. Love. Does it even exist? Can people truly love the same person the same way for the rest of their lives? The phrase "I don't love you any ...
