Straight-Edge: What It Is And What It Isn't
Words: 1014 / Pages: 4 .... they are straight-edge or hard-line straight-edge.
Straight-edge is not something that has occurred just recently.
It is commonly believed that it was started nearly two decades ago in the

Minor Threat*), started the ideology of straight-edge, but the term was not

First, the lack of education is the beginning of the end. When people stop learning they stop growing. As history goes people are afraid of what they don’t understand, and are unwilling to learn more about it. This ignorance breeds disease and death.

However and whenever these attacks occur, they usually fall in at least one of the following categories: obscenity and violence, religion. What is obscenity?

Violence In Sports
Words: 1245 / Pages: 5 .... has been done on spectator violence. A central issue is whether fans incite player violence or reflect it (Debenedotte, p. 207). The evidence is inconclusive.

Emulation of favorite players is an element of this identification. Group solidarity with players and coaches leads to a view of opposing teams as enemies and fosters hostility towards the "outgroup" and, by extension, its supporters, geographical locale, ethnic group, and perceived social class (Lee, p. 45).
