Gangs
... economic system.
On the surface, are caused by peer pressure and greed. Many teens in 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 than she/he spends in a classroom. Since no ...

The Battle Of The Sexes
... demanding office jobs. There are
exceptions though such as the big 250 pound butch women and the skinny frail men
who switch roles and that is perfectly fine. This becomes a problem when the
massive dumb man wants to be a successful secretary with his amazing eight words
per minuit typing speed and the skinny little twig woman wants to be a
lumberjack. Men and women have to realize that some jobs are meant for someone
more fitting then what they are.
When god created women, he gave them the ability to have children. This
advantage kind of gives women superiority over men. I'm sure if men were able
to they would have children, but they can't. Back in ...

Juvenile Delinquency
... itself has come to imply disgrace in today's
society. A youngster can be labeled a delinquent for breaking any one of a
number of laws, ranging from robbery to running away from home. But an action
for which a youth may be declared a delinquent in one community may not be
against the law in another community. In some communities, the police ignore
many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to
their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to
a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime
statistics, though they are often incomplete and may be misleading, do give an
indic ...

The Many Faces Of Marriage
... by any imagination with sufficient motivation. As a child, Janie
longs for the glorious truth which tickles her fancy through the heavenly
scent of the pear tree, but the hard materialism of her grandmother and
later her first husband restrain her by trying to crowd her mind with the
empty trinkets which they themselves have learned to value. Her second
husband is similarly stifling; though his strength and power is at first
appealing, he too is unable to comprehend that life is in the living and
the being, and not in the having and the controlling. Janie not knowing
what marriage really meant, married because she thought he could take care
of her.

Gangs
... pressure and greed.
Estimamates show that forty percent of all gang members joined because their
friends influenced them (Solution for a new year 1996). Teen gangsters will
pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making it sound glamorous.
Recruiters will often promise popularity in exchange for their loyalty.
Although most gang members find popularity, it often means losing close friends
to rival gangs. Another crucial factor is the need for money. A 6 year old kid,
who is not yet a member, receives impressions that he or she could make $200 to
$400 for a small gang job. In August of 1996, an eleven year old Compton child
received $400 for killing a riva ...

Black Civil Rights

World War. For the first time they were looked upon as war veterans instead of
black slaves. Although progress was beginning a black man named Garvey believed
that the whites would never change, because of this he started an association
called "Back to Africa". At the coming of the Second World War, blacks
participating in the war were being more important positions than ever before.
Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to make a strong contribution to
the Civil Rights movement. He had signed a declaration that stated no one could
be discriminated in the work place and other areas based on race. Also the high
court passed a law that ...

Human Rights
... It has crushed the will, and the lives of thousands of American Indians, African and Hispanic Americans, and far too many others to count. It has killed, murdered, and ignored the of billions in the name of Progress. Through the blood, sweat and tears of those who were here before us, this “Great Nation” has formed.
What difference does it make whether a person is male or female, gay or straight, black or white? Some believe that simply being a certain gender or creed makes them superior to everyone else. Some white supremacist groups think they are so privileged to be able to decide the fate of several thousand people. It is important to realize these gro ...

Study Of Family Interaction Lead To New Undrestanding Of Abusive Parents
... have developed a system which allows them to record the
effectiveness of parenting skills. They are particularly interested in
disciplinary strategies because abuse most commonly occurs when the parent
wants the child to comply. "It's a question of trying to determine which
type of parent produces which type of child or which type of child elicits
which type of parental behaviour," explains Oldershaw.
As a result of their work, Walters and Oldershaw have identified
distinct categories of abusive parents and their children.
'Harsh/intrusive' mothers are excessively harsh and constantly badger their
child to behave. Despite the fact that these mothers humiliat ...

Women In Africa
... "Rounding Up Spinsters: Gender Chaos and Unmarried Women in
Colonial Asante", and Irene Staunton's Mothers of the Revolution, several
questions arise. What were women seeking and how did this differ from what men
wanted? Did women attain their goals, and if not, why not? If women were not
successful in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some of these cases, women were relatively
successful in organizing and mobilizing. The story of the Aba Riots, which is
discussed in both The Warrant Ch ...

Victoria's Secret Vs Gap
... possible. It will be dangerous for GapBody to try and compete with that same market, seeing how it is a limited market as well. It is clear that sex is everywhere, everywhere on television and movies, sex is now becoming more socially acceptable then ever.
Gap has established a tremendous relationship market with its customers. Shoppers are turning away from the department stores and shopping at specialty shops. Shops such as the Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Structure and others. Shops that get more personal with the customer and have more selection than department stores. It is essential that GapBody delights the customer as they have in the past. Seeing h ...
