.... so children should not be allowed to watch television shows with ratings that suggest that profanity is contained in the program. When a television ratings system was created, the necessity for censorship ended. The purpose of the ratings is to warn parents of the content, so all material should be allowed on TV since the viewer is warned beforehand of the shows level of maturity. Television violence and vulgarity are not the only examples of unjust censorship. Who can speak their mind on controversial subjects such as the murder that occurs every day, which is abortion and the faults in our government? The message needs to be heard about these and .....

.... know what that word means. The woman left for work acting as if nothing major had occurred and I was left with a little boy with a huge bruise on his face for his first day at a new school. I immediately reported the incident to my chain of command, wrote up my observations, then had to wait patiently to see what would happen. The result - nothing. Child Protective Services said the report was not submitted within 24 hours, so they couldn't do anything. We had another case that we reported just two weeks ago to Child Protective Services. Another five- year old was involved. The teacher noticed a bite mark on his cheek. She asked him what happened, an .....

.... through the use of theater and song (Burdick 97). They taught the precepts of Siddhartha and Buddha in such theatrical epics as Ramayana and Mahabharata, setting exacting rules for theater performance in the process (Burdick 99). Similarly, Irish monks established singing schools, which taught uniform use of music throughout the church (Young 31). Through chants which were all the same, they spread identical teachings. Christian psalms and hymns in Apostolic times were sung to spread the knowledge and faith of Christianity. In fact, Christianity was promoted from the start by music. Churches were for long the only centers of learning, with monks .....

.... to agree with Bennett in that the talk shows are mostly trash, but that is why I think we watch them. Bennett believes in old time values that if you can’t see it, it won’t happen. He comes form the past on his point of view with a “shhh� don’t tell attitude. This is why Bennett wants to abolish daytime television altogether. Bennett claims that daytime TV is the problem in our society today. Children are watching and learning the immoral truths of today’s society. But ask yourself where are those children’s parents? Bennett wants to eliminate the talk shows so then our culture can be cleansed, but are the talk shows to blame for o .....

.... have decreased by 250,000. Two primary reasons…the high divorce rate and an increase in unwed mothers" (Henslin 323). With the high divorce rate and unwed mothers, there seems to be a lack of stability in the family. The children of these homes only have one parental role model to draw their elements of social integration from. Also, since our society is obviously based on two-sexes, these children are emerging unbalanced and unprepared to deal with the pressures and demands a two-sex society has. The text states that these children tend to live in homes with less income. In divorce situations, the income is being split between two househol .....

.... might be. You normally would not mind having a cup of coffee with them, but if anything else came up, you usually would have no problem parting company. You normally don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friends who give you the most amount of aggravation. Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, such as school or work, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something aggravating, such as tapping the fingers an a table or chewing gum loudly. This is why I call them "pest friends." The second category of friends I call "social partners." This is bec .....

.... they were forced into arranged marriages and treated them as mere productive tools. The Urban housewife was subjected to the same social discrimintion as the peasant women the only main difference was that the urban housewife was kept out of the production process, since the production in towns was no longer run on a family basis. The only careers for which girls were trained were wifehood and motherhood. These weren’t suitable careers for women which threatened to drive them into the dangerous path of the consumer race. Eventhough the first move toward salaried employment of women in Iraq came in 1923, when a teachers’ training Institute was open .....

.... native language. Rodriguez feels that bilingual education is wrong because using a family language in school “...misunderstand(s) the public uses of schooling and...trivialize(s) the nature of intimate life� (225). In his essay, “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood�, Rodriguez applies many rhetorical features to build an effective essay with a strong point: children should learn a “public� language in school, not only to increase their educational prowess but also to gain acceptance in society. Rodriguez builds ethos by describing his childhood experiences. He talks of the trouble he had speaking English in fron .....

.... removal of God and prayer in public schools; the U.S. Supreme Court did this in 1962. Beginning in 1962, SAT scores plummeted. Teen pregnancies, teen sexual diseases, teen suicides, teen alcohol, drug abuse, pornography, and illiteracy rates abruptly increased 200 to 300 percent. Violence is one of the main factors effecting are schools today. Rape is a growing problem among juveniles. A juvenile commits one out of every five rapes that occur in the United States. There is also a higher use of drugs and alcohol among kids in public schools. Over 80 percent of public high school students drink alcohol and 45.7 percent have used marijuana. Drugs and a .....

.... in order to keep going. Yet another skill to have, as Sgt. Stokes would say, is attention to detail. Like putting your ribbons an 1/8 above the pocket when the manual says to. When you obtain good you should carry yourself as an example to others. Just because you obtain good today doesn’t mean you will automatically have it tomorrow. You have to earn it. You should also look off of and follow those that you think have a good . They probably know what they are doing. They are a good example of what you should try to be like. In closing I say that you should always remember to carry yourself and act in a way that would get you a goo .....
