.... a complex series of repeatedly reinforced choices occurring at critical phases in development. Second, male, and female is probably different conditions that arise from a different composite of influences. Nonetheless, they have some similarities. Third, "" is very poorly defined. Our use of this one term creates the false impression of a uniform "gay" or "lesbian" condition and culture. It obscures the reality that what we are studying is a complex set of variable mental, emotional, and behavioral states that are caused by differing proportions of numerous influences. Indeed, one of the chief characteristics of the gay lifestyle is its effloresce .....

.... just randomly meet on the street. We shared common parents, household, schedules, and heritage. Therefore, we were naturally inclined to develop some sort of relationship and intimacy.

.... their rights, and what they believe. The media has only really impacted my life when I was a young child. The perplexing commercials of GI JOE and the unforgettable Transformers were just mind boggling. Anytime a new commercial aired. I would always ask for the newest one. This was of course, before I comprehended the value of the Canadian dollar bill. As the nineties have change the appearance of our currency, my outlook on first impressions of the advertisements has changed as well. Subsequent to the view of both Norma Rae and Pretty Woman, I felt the characters played by Sally Field and Julia Roberts were down to earth and portrayed realisticall .....

.... for so many years and not sentenced to the death chair. Children don’t deserve to be put in a foster home. A child needs to have their natural mother and father. There have been many cases in which siblings are split up into different foster homes. They have a chance of not seeing their sibling again. It can sometimes take as long as twenty years before they see their sibling. They have missed all those wonderful years of growing up, laughing and playing as brother or sister. If the child is at the age at knowing what’s going on, then it’s probably going to be hard for them to adjust to a new family. It could cause them to have problem .....

.... a better home, having a better environment, or to just start your life all over again (If something regrettably went wrong.) Whatever the reason, almost anybody can find their place in America. What would America be like without the government we have today? Well, it would be a lot like the Colonial times, and that was not a good time period to be in. There may be a lot of crime in America, but there are always more policemen, soldiers, or CIA agents ; it does not matter. These soldiers and policemen and agents ; they are all modern Americans. They try to help other people in trouble, and try to make America a better place for other people to live in .....

.... 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. Since no .....

.... expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil.
