Adolescent Egocentrism
... and getting drunk. The same boy about a month ago had gotten in trouble by the police for having a party and here he is having another one. I asked them all why he was having another party after all ready getting in trouble, “Oh, well they won’t get in any trouble, nothing will happen to them. They’re our friends.” This displays the act of being indestructible. They all seriously thought nothing was going to happen to them. Maybe nothing will, but still they believe that there isn’t even the chance even though it happened before. Drawing on my adolescence, I can remember thinking like that also.
The second example relates to the latter. I mentioned that al ...

Relationships
... all reasons why never last. There seems to be a lot of this in lately. That is why I sometimes would rather be good friends with a member of the opposite sex than to always be in a relationship with them.
First of all jealousy is normal. Everyone gets jealous some time or another. However, when it is happening all the time, then there is a lack of communication within the relationship. Getting jealous just because the other partner is looking at another member of the other sex should not be a reason to resolve to arguing.

A Black Cloud
... Klan, otherwise known as the KKK, possess intense
hatred for the black race. Their hatred is demonstrated by marching in
white cloaks in protest and also by burning the churches and neighborhoods
of blacks. Just as Hitler and the KKK express hatred, the Skinheads are
yet another group which have strong prejudices. These so called Skinheads
abominate most races other than their own. White hooded silhouettes,
German Soldiers echoing “Hail Hitler!”, and the infamous Skinheads are
harsh reminders of hatred which exists throughout the world.
In the same way that prejudices of large groups of people are
expressed, hate crimes are committed to demonstrate acts of ...

Should Americans Adopt Internationally?
... other countries because of the greater flexibility and because they are not eligible to adopt from the U.S. Unlike agencies in the U.S., many foreign adoption agencies accept adoptive parents over the age of forty and allow parents to adopt more than one child. Also many agencies in foreign countries are more willing to accept single adoptive parents. One of the most important reasons for adopting internationally is that it can be quite fast; sometimes placements occur within one year. International adoption can be faster if an agency has ties to a country with many waiting, orphaned children.
Another important reason people adopt from foreign countries is b ...

The World's Longest War
... Europe, refers to moral roots, not to theocratic ambitions. The consequence
of this separation of church and state is that political contention is not
poisoned by religious hatred.
There is one exception, Islam, a theocracy which has savaged the world for over
a thousand years. Its religious doctrine is that church and state are one and
that canon law and civil law are one. It periodically believes that unbelievers
must be converted or conquered and that hating infidels is a virtue and killing
an infidel is a ticket to heaven. In many of the faithful this religious
fanaticism has merged with the secular fanaticism of Marxism-Leninism to make a
witch's brew of ...

Impact Of Television On Society
... in Australia. However with the system of networks as currently exists their are only a few program produces who determine what most of us watch and at what time of the day or night. This schedualing is important for the commercial television stations which rely on advertising revenues to exist. Television ads can be highly sophisticated and highly creative. Tremendous amounts of time and talent and resources are devoted to producing such images which are typically more expensive than programs. One of the gigantic swindles carried out on the public today is that commercial television is free. In fact consumers pay for the programming through higher prices for the go ...

Slavery
... out that hundreds of thousands of slaves were sacrificing their lives just so the Europeans could quell their new taste for sugar, tea and cocoa. A similar view was taken by Rousseau, who stated that he could not bear to watch his fellow human beings be changed to beasts for the service of others. Religion entered into the equation when Diderot, author of the Encyclopedia, brought up the fact that the Christian religion was fundamentally opposed to Black but employed it anyway in order to work the plantations that financed their countries. All in all, those influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment, equality, liberty, the right to dignity, tended ...

Peer Pressure
... where everyone else is drinking, which leads you to think that you have to have a drink in order to fit in. It may also occur driving around with friends one night and the driver is driving too fast, but because you don’t want to look immature or scared in front of your friends you choose not to say anything and may risk your life because of it.
