... and sexual content receive a number of clashing opinions. There are artists who paint and photograph nudity and pornography who find the human body and sex portrayed in many forms to be beautiful. However, there are also many extremely conservative individuals who take offense to such "artwork" and find its contents appalling. And those who enjoy the nudity and sexual content exhibited in pornographic materials should marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In the words of Justice William O. Douglas, "no one is compelled to look" (Brownmiller 663). There is no concrete manner to define materials that are "obscene" or "offens ...

... Spirituals were "long thought to be the spontaneous creation of African-American slaves and the only original folk music of the U.S." Spirituals told tales of suffering and struggle, but these true meanings were often hidden. An example is in the song "Gospel Train" with the lyrics, "Get on board, little children/There's room for many a-more/The gospel train's a-leavin' ..." The "gospel train" of the song likely represented an escape method, such as the Underground Railroad. Another type of music distinct to African slaves was gospel.

... there. If we could eliminate the nonsense that happens constantly on Capital Hill, this dream would be a very real one. With the interests of political activist groups such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Congress has had a tough time passing any legislation that would benefit the public and curtail the sail and manufacture of armor piercing bullets, automatic rifles and Uzis. Unfortunately, we tend to interpret the Constitution to broadly. Obviously, in the late 1700's, there were no deadly weapons to contend with. They had muskets, which could hardly be used in a very swift and deadly manner. Granted, the mu ...

... around you, and your heart will throb when you see that you have taken a liking to her. Now you have to get her to take a liking in you. First thing make her smile and laugh at a funny joke, find a way to draw her interesting into you; that is, without making a fool of yourself. Get her to look into your eyes; if she hesitates, she is just being bashful. The worst of all, she is not interested. Let us imagine meeting someone for the first time. The girl you are dying to ask on a date is finally alone, without her friends. This is your opportunity; you are nervous and afraid of her respond. Act casually, and keep total control of yourself. This is the big s ...

... there are three groups of Internet addicts: i) the "I'm-not-addicted users," ii) the "I-only-use-it-when-I-have-to- users" and iii) the "Internet junkies." The "I'm-not-addicted users" are the users who try to convince themselves that they are not addicted to the Internet. This group includes college students who don't go online during the day to prove to fellow students that they can do without getting online; only, to stay up all night in a chat room online. Or businesspeople who stay after office hours to supposedly get a late report done; only, to stay online until the security guy's ready to lock up the building. Or husbands who stay offline all day, o ...

... remain extraordinarily rare in our schools? The 24-hour news channels, the emergence of online media and increased competition among various media outlets can feed this frenzy to replay searing images at the expense of the victims and communities still struggling to rebuild their lives. As a parent and grandparent, I am as troubled as anyone over the senseless tragedies that have occurred in schools over the past two years, and I fully understand the gravity and attention these scenes deserve. However, it does little but instill unwarranted fear in parents and students when such graphic stories are repeated over and over despite the telling fact that schools remain ...

... Dr. King became involved in civil rights he was already an ordained minister. He had married and he and his wife had four children. His civil rights activities began with the protest of an incident that occurred on a public bus. Rosa parks had broken the law by not getting out of her seat to allow a white person to sit in her seat or row. An organization was formed to boycott the buses and Dr. Martian Luther king was asked to be president of it. In his first, and in my opinion, most powerful speeches Dr. Martian Luther King stated “First and foremost we are American citizens...We are not here advocating violence...the only weapon that we have...is that of protes ...

... but teenagers' core beliefs and values have remained the same. First of all, the college students of today seem to be less rebellious than they were in the sixties. Their dress and their attitudes seem to be more in line with the norm. Most teenagers seem to be more concerned with where the next party will be than with what social issues are confronting society today. David Gelman refereed to this generation in his article as the "me" generation. He quotes University of Michigan social psychologist Lloyd Johnston as saying "It's fair to say that young people are more career-oriented than before, more concerned about making money and prestige."
