.... went to court. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court said that it was legal for any woman to have an abortion and terminate her pregnancy at any given time. The Roman Catholic Church has said that abortion is murder and violates all terms of human morality. My personal opinion lays between that of the Roman Catholic Church and the Supreme Court. I believe that a woman should have the right to an abortion only if she was raped and can not afford to have the child, or if she does not know who the father is. If the woman just want's to have an abortion for no reason, believes that the baby will be born with a handicap, or will be born with a disease, l .....

.... longer the case. Now, in order to be employed, qualifications do not always matter as much as the color of a person's skin or his ethnicity. In dealing with this subject, the first question that is always asked is, "What is wrong with quotas? What is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having problems finding jobs because they are not black or Hispanic or do not have breasts. Aff .....

.... couples are actors. But the real problem lies within the idea behind the show. Is that the biggest problem the world is facing today? Who to blame in some strange couples breakup? It is disturbing to know that the same audience members and at-home viewers that are voting on whom to place the blame, will one day be voting for the leaders of our country. Worse yet, they may someday be the leaders of our country. The latest teen film to hit theaters is called Jawbreaker.

.... often causes this improper behavior to continue. In professional sports, fans who get out of control often buy themselves an escorted walk out of the stadium. Likewise, coaches and players also have consequences for acting inappropriately. Coaches are subjected to game ejections or ineligibility to return as a coach the following year. Players hold the responsibility to behave appropriately also, and may face a game suspension and other penalties. Parents often claim immunity to these consequences, and with that privileged state of mind proceed to shred the rules of sportsmanship. People like this often make the game unpleasant for others. Th .....

.... as commodities. And this is, in fact, the peculiar 'solution' which men impose on themselves in the face of specific material and historical conditions. They do not exchange their bodies or parts of their bodies for money. They exchange the creative content of their lives, their practical daily activity, for money. As soon as men accept money as an equivalent for life, the sale of living activity becomes a condition for their physical and social survival. Life is exchanged for survival. Creation and production come to mean sold activity. A man's activity is 'productive,' useful to society, only when it is sold activity. And the man himself is a produ .....

.... (Generation X, pg.5). They each are misunderstood by their parents and are seen as underachievers in a society "that has it easy." It is easy for parents of the "X-ers" to believe this because all they've know is rise. Rise in population, rise in American business, and rise in overall success. These days all jobs are taken. The jobs out there are low paying and demeaning to overqualified applicants. Left only to scrap by, it is not unusual for an "X-er" to feel "Boomer Envy" described as the "envy of material wealth and long-range material security accrued by older members of the baby boom generation by virtue of fortunate births" (Generation X .....

.... "On Self-respect " faces the every day pressures of adolescent life. The main premise of this essay is that you must respect yourself for anyone to respect you. Both essay's rely on self respect to relate to the rites of passage in today's society. Peer pressure is a very major dilemma in that friends or peers try to get a person to do what they, the majority, like and not what the individual likes. Peers create some of the so-called rites, then when one follows more start to follow, then it becomes the scenario of the lemmings following their leader off of the face of a cliff. Some teens think that drinking is a passage into adu .....

.... its collapse was a result of external influences. Communism is based on the ideas and teachings of Karl Marx as modified by Lenin. At its most basic, the ideal of communism is a system in which everyone is seen as equal and wealth is distributed equally among the people. There is no private ownership. The state owns and controls all enterprises and property. The state is run by one leading elite. The Soviet model of communism was based on these ideals. All opposition parties were banned although parties who were sympathetic to communism and who shared the communist ideals were allowed. All power was concentrated into the hands of the Communist p .....

.... 1986). A test bank from "thousands of managers and professionals in management development programs from 1978 to 1986" was cited as another reason why they believe there are few differences between male and female executives. The tests revealed that executive men and women scored equally on most areas and that executive women are just as capable at leading, influencing, and motivating groups, as well as analyzing problems. The authors go on to show that, despite these similarities, women are disproportionately represented in the ranks of Fortune 500 company executives. Repeated references are made to studies that were conducted with 22 people, .....
