.... gangs are caused by peer pressure and greed. Many teens in gangs will pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. .....

.... the happiness in the world. "There is a wonderful fable about a young orphan girl who had no family and no one to her. One day, feeling exceptionally sad and lonely, she was walking through the meadow when she noticed a small butterfly caught unmercifully in a thornbush. The more the butterfly struggled to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into the butterfly from its captivity. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief. 'For your wonderful kindness,' the good fairy said to the girl, 'I will grant you any wish you would like.' The little girl thought for a mom .....

.... is to show ways people with disabilities are discriminated against and to show what is being done to stop this raping of the human heart. Got a weight problem? Sure, there are a lot of diets you could try, but why not exercise your right as a victim and strike back at discriminatory employers? You might not lose any weight ,but at least you can get the job you deserve. This is possible because of the courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission wants to extend protections under the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act to obese people. In December of 1993 a Federal Appeals Court ruled unanimously to .....

.... of happiness that was once openly available to generations before us. How did we become such a consumer-happy society? One obvious reason is television. With the introduction of television, the public entered a fanatical world that made our own lives seem unreal. Americans began to yearn for lives of intrigue and notoriety. With a touch of a button, the television takes viewers "out of the 'real' world in which [they] reside and can place [them] at a basketball game, the back alleys of Maine, the streets of Bucharest, or the cartooning living rooms of Sitcom land (Hamill, 375). In these places, life is idealized. Rarely do you see televis .....

.... be worth the freedom at the other end. Ellis Island, also, was far from sanitary. The people would break down into lines, and walk by a doctor, trying to hide any physical problems. Children over two had to be able to walk by themselves. If the doctor noticed anything wrong he would use a piece of chalk to show the person required further inspection. If, this was indeed the case, the person would be set aside in a cage. Another test was that of sanity. An interpreter would ask each person a few questions just to find a sensible answer to test mental stability. The last and most feared doctor checked for disease by lifting the eyelid .....

.... though such as the big 250 pound butch women and the skinny frail men who switch roles and that is perfectly fine. This becomes a problem when the massive dumb man wants to be a successful secretary with his amazing eight words per minuit typing speed and the skinny little twig woman wants to be a lumberjack. Men and women have to realize that some jobs are meant for someone more fitting then what they are. When god created women, he gave them the ability to have children. This advantage kind of gives women superiority over men. I'm sure if men were able to they would have children, but they can't. Back in the eighteen hundreds it was expect .....

.... the Hellenistic period. Humanism slowly changed to individualism. Individualism is the belief that the individuals needs and interest are the most important. This change came about by the growth of Alexander the Greats empire. Alexander’s empire influenced so many lives because there were so many different mixes of people, cultures, and beliefs. This mix eventually changed the Greek and Persian ways of thinking, architecture, and many other aspects of their lives not just the values. Another change in the Greek values during the change from Hellenic to Hellenistic period was the change from idealism to realism. They both dealt with the conce .....

.... condition, or have a condition far more worse than which they started from. Lets say Mike, the lab mouse, was in good health and could function properly on his own. After a week of testing on his body, Mike could not walk, feed himself, or function properly due to the experimental test performed on his brain. Mike would have never had to experience the change in his body if he would not have been tested on. Death is another extreme case in . This may determine a flaw in the experimentation which is good for humans, but it ends the life of a innocent animal. Over 3 million animals started out like Mike did, as a healthy mouse. The treatments .....

.... relationships. Also sexual abuse makes sexual abusers. The Child Abuse Help Book says “82% of child molesters were molested when they were children.� If you think it isn't a big problem and it won't affect you or someone you love then you're wrong. There are 300,000 to 500,000 reported every year in the united states and experts say “for each case that is reported there are two more that aren't.� Why in Virginia Beach alone in 1993 the social services office counted 6,613 sexual abuse cases reported. The reason only a third of the cases are reported because most of the time the abuser is a friend or family member. In fact the book Child A .....

.... observed and admired by Europeans particularly the Jesuits. The Native Indians were among the first people to enter North America. They entered America through the passage of the Bering Strait, a location which is the midpoint of Alaska and Siberia. As time passed, they settled on various pieces of land and hunted, fished and grew crops. Alfred Bailey mentions that, "It had been suggested that Siouans, the Iroquoians and Algonquians were among the first to enter America."1 Before the Europeans arrived, there were many native tribes that were already settled. By the time Europeans arrived in North America, they found natives occupying large amount .....
