.... between himself and Euthyphro, who the citizens' highly respect, thus bringing him respect, and freedom. This is where Socrates begins his dialogue with Euthyphro seeking the definition of piety. Socrates wants Euthyphro to teach him the meaning of piety since Euthyphro considers himself an authority on the subject. In this dialogue Euthyphro gives Socrates four different definitions of what he believes piety is, none of which prove satisfactory to Socrates, leaving the question unanswered in the end. The first definition that Euthyphro provides to Socrates is that "the pious is to do what I am doing now to prosecute the wrong doer" (Plato, Eut .....

.... of the dominant mass-media firms; (2) advertising as the primary income source of the mass media; (3) the reliance of the media on information provided by government, business, and "experts" funded and approved by these primary sources and agents of power; and (4) "Flak" as a means of disciplining the media.1 Each of these filters takes a bit of the true reality out of the information and eventually leads to a misinformed public. A recent incident at The San Francisco Examiner illustrated filter two. Nike and the Examiner were co-sponsoring the Bay to Breakers race. At the same time Stephanie Salter, a columnist at the paper, wrote an art .....

.... quit at least once and failed. And those who don't stop smoking are headed down a well-worn path of disease. Smoking-related illnesses kill more than 400,000 Americans each year. That's more people than the amount of people killed by AIDS, car accidents, alcohol, homicides, fires and suicides combined. And the real tragedy is that these are preventable. The tobacco companies target teenagers with their advertising campaigns, as they know the teen years are when smokers are made. In 1992, the tobacco industry spent $5.23 billion advertising its products, up from $3.13 billion in 1985. The only industry that spends more on advertising is the automob .....

.... Racquetball reached its peak in popularity in the 1970's, where racquetball clubs abounded across North America. During the late 1970s, racquetball become one of the fastest growing sports in North America as thousands of new racquetball courts were built to satisfy the demand of new players. However, by the late eighties racquetball popularity subsided and many clubs either closed or changed their courts to fit other uses. However, there are approximately 7.7 million Americans who still enjoy playing racquetball. Racquetball also enjoys international status, with World Championships held bi-annually since 1981. RULES Racquetball may .....

.... new perception heightened the dancing energy. The GAP Khakis sign invaded the screen for a few seconds and the screen went blank. Was this the work of an evil genius trying to get my attention so that I could be brainwashed into buying a product? Could it perhaps be simply one artist communicating a new sense of beauty to the whole world, regardless of the product I was deeply affected by the strange time and space rendered in front of me in thirty seconds. Commercial film affects me more than fine art in a museum does. It has also proven to be much better at portraying subtleties to a mass audience in a clear and definite way. People are ashamed of .....

.... employment and increasing concern with green issues, with the prediction of a further blurring of traditional sex roles between man and women. 2.0 Cultural Differences: Some Eastern nationalities, where they generally show very little emotion and little facial expression most of the time, apart from when in grief. In our culture, women are generally considered more emotionally expressive. In the East, women are conditioned to make little direct eye contact, giving them the impression of subordination and having little self-confidence 3.0 Society: Society still associates power with masculinity causing many to find it difficult to connect p .....

.... Justice McDonald in 1977 recommended that the security intelligence functions be separated from the RCMP and that a civilian service be formed to carry out those functions. Both commissions recognized that the problem of balancing the need for accurate and effective security intelligence with the need to respect democratic rights and freedoms could not be adequately resolved as long as security intelligence responsibilities remained part of the Federal police force. In 1970, following the report of the Mackenzie Commission, John Starnes, a Foreign Service officer with the Department of External Affairs, became the first civilian Director General of t .....

.... in the wrong crowds still may comfort a lonely child. One of the most renowned agencies is a non-profit organization called big brothers/ big sisters of America. A man who saw a young boy sifting through the trash for food created this establishment over 90 years ago. He took the boy home, fed him, and then met his poverty-stricken family. From that point on, he became a mentor to the little boy, and this inspired him to form the organization for other boys, and in following years, a group of Christian women created a program for little girls. The soon joined forces and became the big brothers and big sisters of America. In today’s society, .....

.... announcer booms their names over a loudspeaker, extolling their pulchritudinous virtues, whipping up the crowd. The easy comparison, of course, is to the auction block, although only one third of the bodies on stage tonight are black.1 Bodybuilding is a "sport of plastic form"2 judged entirely subjectively, aesthetically. There is no tape to burst through, no millisecond record to shatter. Even though this display is both celebratory and voluntary, for the black women on some level the stakes are the same as those placed on the bodies of the African women, our ancestors, who survived the Middle Passage3 only to be corralled and sold to the hig .....

.... directly elected metropolitan government, which coordinated the growth-management plans of three counties and twenty-four municipalities in the Portland metropolitan region. This government set aside an area of 234,000 acres which would be solely used for developing for the next 20 years. Everything else would be left for nature. That government would also look over each development plan in that area before it was constructed. This ensured nothing would be too drastic and ruin the atmosphere of the city. As a matter of fact the city was developed so that no buildings would block the view of Mount Hood, and so that no skyscrapers would run up .....
