... is only 15, nearing 16, he will be tried as an adult for his crime. His plea? Self defense. The outcome of the short trial sentenced the boy, the murderer, to a life inside a prison. He was sent to a specially designed prison that held only the most violent of juveniles, many of which had been tried as adults. Where they would stay until they reach their eighteenth birthday, and what would they get? A ticket to a high security prison, full of rapists, pedaphiles and others of their kin, ready to further pervert them and make them more efficient and darken their souls, or rape, sodomise and kill them for being the new arrivals. We blame the gun, we blame society ...

... today's youth are chaotic and without values, or that it is just a factor of immaturity, which is probably true, but there is more to the issue than purely immaturity. Many things come into play when analyzing the cause of difference in interaction and dialogue such as social standing, self-confidence, and levels of maturity. First, it is important to understand societal perspective; In effect, one must analyze where society has placed a group of people in order to understand why the group's actions vary from everyone else. While it is true that youth do not have as great of responsibilities, it is also true that they, by societal definition, do not have as mu ...

... that society consider natural and inevitable characteristics of human existence) reified (the human created norms or 'truths') beliefs. Obviously there are various ways in which a nomi (a labeled, sometime constructed, norm or truth) can be exposed. Which form of the comparative method should one use however? The answer, whichever one applies to the 'truth' in question. For example, you certainly would not do a cross-gender form of comparison if you wished to expose whether or not homosexuality has always been feared and looked down upon by most people throughout history. No, rather you would perform a historical comparison of two or more different societies ...

... unnecessary. This cruelty should not only be regulated, but also outlawed entirely. Animals should not be used to test such products as cosmetics. Science has shown that all vertebrates feel pain the same way we do. Yet, needless and painful experiments are preformed repeatedly on them without anesthesia. For something like cosmetics this is ridiculous. Karen Stevens, the founder and president of the organization All For Animals, founded in 1992, says; "There is no law that requires companies to test their personal care and household products on animals before selling them to consumers" It is already known that there are ingredients that are perfectly safe ...

... skills, interpersonal skills, and initiative skills in a person all those things have to do with emotional intellect. There are actual course that are designed to help people strengthen the weakness that a person has within themselves. For instance, Weatherland School of Management at Case Western Reserve University has developed one. Most people that take the course show an 86% improvement. There are even follow-ups three years later and the percentage is still high. Through my eyes emotional intellect does mean a whole lot more than book smarts. Your own life experiences and what you've learned from them makes you who you are inside. For example if a perso ...

... them the ability to explore and create but instead often encouraging poor health habits. The children demanding advertiser's products are influencing economic hardships in many families today. These children, targeted by advertisers, are so vulnerable to trickery, are so mentally and emotionally unable to understand reality because they lack the cognitive reasoning skills needed to be skeptical of advertisements. Children spend thousands of hours captivated by various advertising tactics and do not understand their subtleties. Though advertisers in America's free enterprise system are regulated because of societal pressures, they also are protected in their righ ...

... the news on television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media does not cause undesira ...

... to more attentive, thus, more interested. The speaker must also be aware of his environment and the people he is speaking to. Environment plays a lot with what you say and try to convey to people. If you hear a bird chirping, you might incorporate it to what you where just about to say. This makes the person you're talking to even more comfortable with what you are trying to convey with your thoughts and ideas. This is how different things can effect one's communication skill, speaking. A second communication skill is body language, a very personal way of expressing yourself without words. One's body language can carry a whole conversation without even sa ...

... by bailing hay and loading wagons with crops. Since trying to capture the native Indians, the Arawaks and Caribs, failed (Small-Pox had killed them), the Europeans said out to capture African slaves. They were shipped from Africa by the Europeans in what was called The Triangular Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This was an organized route where Europeans would travel to Africa bringing manufactured goods, capture Africans and take them to the Caribbean, and then take the crops and goods and bring them back to Europe. The African people, in order to communicate invented a language that was a mixture of all the African languages combined, called Creole. This l ...
