... reason for heraldry is identification. A coat of arms is a graphic and plain means of identification. It tells the onlooker who is under the great war helm and if he is a cause for threat. Also, many knights and nobles would often go on far reaching quests and journeys. Most often they would be familiar with very few people so recognition by facial features was difficult. A coat of arms was more far reaching and well known than the appearance of the man. It gave the bearer a sort of graphic catch phrase that was noticed and perceived more than the actual features of the man. The coat of arms also proudly represents an active relationship between past and pr ...

... do what they pleased. Consequently, they then passed the black codes. The black codes were laws that took away black’s privileges. An economic privilege taken away from the blacks was their right to vote. Without the black’s rights, they were kept enslaved because they were not able to do anything and had to depend on the whites. They were now dependent on the white southerners because they had no land and couldn’t vote to do anything about the land they lost. They had to depend on the whites for survival. Later, the Radical Republicans became a major part of the Congress and passed the Freedman’s Bureau, and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. The Freedman’s Bure ...

... being made. This doesn’t mean that the women’s brain is inferior to that of a mans. In fact men don’t have the ability to take in a large portion of information. They are detached from many of the human and personal aspects, finding it easier to form a thought from less information. Either way, men and women arrive at a decision regardless of their methods used. The impact of these decisions affect the manager-employee relationship differently. While female managers relate to their employees with more sensitivity and understanding of their needs, men tend to govern their employees with a style similar to a dictator. Men rely on rules and quantifiable aspe ...

... child-birth rate. There are also people who choose to have more and more children, seeking them out of love, with good intentions, but not realizing the problems they're causing. World energy needs are projected to double in the next several decades, but no credible geologist foresees a doubling of world oil production, which is projected to peak with in the next few decades. While protein demands are projected to also double in the century ahead, no respected marine biologist expects the oceanic fish catch, which has plateaued over the last decade, to double. The world's oceans are being pushed beyond the breaking point, due to a lethal combination of po ...

... intends to do good, lowering the standards by which certain racial groups are admitted to college is not the way to solve the problem of diversity in America's universities. The condition of America's public schools is directly responsible for the poor academic achievement of minority children. "Instead of addressing educational discrepancies caused by poverty and discrimination, we are merely covering them up and pretending they do not exist, and allowing ourselves to avoid what it takes to make a dent in them--augmenting Head Start, improving high schools and spending more equally among schools" (Jacoby 36). The implication of racial preference has given high ...

... their citizenship to keep their own identity while participating in the civilization as a whole. When people take on the responsibility of their citizenship and follow the laws and rules founded for them, freedom is allowed to work for everyone. "In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms," stated Franklin Roosevelt in his 1941 President's Annual Address to Congress. "The first is freedom of speech and expression-everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. The third is freedom want-which, translated into world te ...

... in the 1960's to 31 million in the 1970's. This leap would continue and increase in the 1980's and on into the 1990's. The result, in 1995, is a female labor force that numbers over 60 million. This comprised 46 percent of the civilian work force (10). A reason for the rise in participation by women may be in the way women saw marriage and children. Fewer women saw marriage as a settling down. Women who had children began to return to their jobs. The number of working women that were either married or had children or both increased dramatically. In 1965, women with children under 18 years of age numbered 35.0 percent of the labor force. This number increa ...

... of criticism from their respective constituents. Senators and Representatives must make frequent decisions on important issues based upon feelings and desires expressed by the citizens of their district. In this manner, constructive criticism helps to improve the accuracy and quality of choices made for the nation by our elected officials. Found in some form in nearly every aspect of our society, constructive criticism is an indispensable facet of human improvement. The vast majority of ideas and behavioral characteristics can be improved, often quite substantially, by a different individual who possesses a contrasting perspective. Every human is unique, and ...

... consequently conflicting with the myth and construction of the ideal of masculinity. Thurber's frustrations with women are evident right from the start. He displaces male insubordination to the blueprint of nature and it's “complicated musical comedy.” (Rosengarten and Flick, 340) It's interesting that he attributes nature as a female creator and thus justifying the relationship that “ none of the females of any species she created cared very much for the males.” (p 340) Thurber compares the similarities of courtship to the complicated works of Encyclopedia Brittanica. A book which is full of wonders and within lies mysteries of the unknown and unpredi ...

... Upon reaching the teenage years, acceptance by friends and peers gains increasing importance. For a girl, a best friend is one in whom she can confide and receive advice in a variety of areas. Girls cry on each other’s shoulders about topics ranging from boys to having nothing to wear. Being more emotional and constantly needing advice, a girl’s relationship with her best friend is one of vital importance to her. It is a known fact that women live longer and deal with stress better due to talking about their problems rather than acting impulsively like men. Bonds with a girl’s confidant are very strong and are hardly breakable. Honestly, a boy’s relations ...
