.... Hardin refers to the Food for Peace program stating that during the years between 1948 and 1970, United States taxpayers "paid an additional $50 billion for other economic-aid programs" (484). He went on to say that most of it "went for food and food-producing machinery and technology" (484). He proceeds even further when he voices his rhetorical thought about the World Food Bank - "We must ask if such a program would actually do more good than harm" (485). In much simpler terms, a lot of the United States tax dollars are going forth to produce more food for the rapidly growing population around the world when indeed it is not factual that this p .....

.... nor does it result in the hiring of unqualified candidates on the basis of gender or race. What the City of Seattle's affirmative action program does is very simple: first, it gives City managers and personnel officers a snapshot of the labor market, so that they are aware of the availability rates for different groups for a given job classification. Through these availability rates, the City can determine whether or not women, people of color, or persons with disabilities are underrepresented in a given job classification within the work force; second, the City's affirmative action program encourages managers and personnel officers t .....

.... You retch into a nearby pail and ask a blank-eyed technician if he is practicing torture techniques. In fact it is nothing of that sort. The room you have walked into is a testing laboratory for cosmetics. The technician gives a short bark of laughter and asks if you would like to see the skin-testing lab. Every year millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine ‘the safety’ of items ranging from eye shadow to oven cleaner. The eye irritancy test described above is only one of the tests that convince me that animal product testing is absolutely wrong. A lethal dose test force-feeds animals a particular chemical .....

.... can a list of thirteen virtues change society in the future? After a brief overview of the list I was not impressed. Maybe these would apply to Franklin's day but not to the twentieth century. With a few subtractions and additions the list of virtues may be a helpful tool in any persons life. Temperance is first on the list and is the most important of the virtues. As Franklin states, some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but this was not Franklin's intention. "Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head, which is so necessary where constant vigilance was to be kept up, and guard maintained again .....

.... failed once they got in. Ms. Faulkner won her legal battle to enter the Citadel, breaking a 152 year tradition of training men only. On August 14, 1995, during her first day of military training, she collapsed from heat exhaustion. Within days, she abruptly withdrew from the college, forced to admit that she could not withstand the rigors of "hell week." Ms. Faulkner, fighting back tears, explained that two and a half years of stress had "all crashed in" on her in the first days there. After not quite making the cut, and surviving the stress and trials of these places, they say that it is because the men were too hard on them. "Too hard" is not a .....

.... or not. They are placed into the factors of which keep the cycle going or ending not only by choice but by subconscious inputs from their surroundings. My views of this may differ from others, but this is my knowledge and understanding from first hand experience. Growing up as a child, I experienced this first hand. It didn't have as dramatic an effect as it may have on other children. There are three general ways in which a child may be affected, but are a wide variety of situations. I can't predict the future so I cannot tell which one I will fall into, but I am hoping it is the second way. Firstly, the child may take on the psychologi .....

.... Although no actual artwork appears in the photo, a visual experience of is seen within a particular group and culture. The certain culture of a Louisiana college football team, known as LSU, is engulfed with . Not only because of the players own high-standards to achieve, but also because all involved with the team, provide the drive of excitement throughout the atmosphere. The feeling of is unexplainable, especially when felt through competition. But the feeling that is felt is absolutely unmistakable; one will never forget its’ ability to empower an individual.

.... one spouse for life is the highest form of marriage. Some of the most "primitive" peoples are strictly monogamous in their ideals, while some "highly advanced" cultures have moved away from the strict life-long monogamy. Sociologists, Ford and Beech, have found that only twenty-nine of the one-hundred and eighty-five contemporary cultures studied, less than sixteen percent restrict men and women to a single partner for life. However, less than one-third of the twenty-nine monogamous cultures completely disapprove of both premarital and extramarital relations (Francouer 72). For centuries, marriage was a dynastic affair, arranged by the parents and .....

.... in Junior High and High School are trying not to be normal, the norm becomes what we are trying to make it not be. That didn't bother us any because we thought we were different. We did not look like the teachers or like our parents. We took on our own norm, which then became the norm of our age and location. We were trying not to be normal, but ended up right in the middle of it. As a freshman at Western Illinois University, I learned a whole new realm in the world of . We were taught about formal and informal , mores and folkways, and sanctions. Formal are what is written down and often take the form of laws. Formal were not what we were .....
