.... has students from all walks of life. These students are in the same clubs and organizations, play the same sports, and are all equally competitive in the same classes. This proves that different races can co-exist in an environment with out one group feeling out of place or inferior. Let the Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and Asian children continue to learn and play together and racism will have no place in society. Some argue that racism will not end, yet look at the deterioration over the past 200 years. With time America's decline of racism will continue. Jim Crow Laws prevented blacks from exercising their right to vote in the la .....

.... differed in several ways. Because of our society's fundamental belief that protecting the home and going to war are a man's work, men from minority groups have often been accepted more readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor, infantry, and special forces-branches from which much of the senior leadership is drawn. "In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questio .....

.... gets short shrift�. The article describes a case in which a black man was in need of urgent medical help. Because of his race his case was not given top priority. It was later mentioned that his medical condition could have resulted in death. The issue of racism is certainly not new to the Halifax area. In the 1960’s blacks were ordered out of their village, and in 1980’s Sikh immigrants were called ‘trash’ and told to ‘go home.’ I found the author’ s choice of words quite appropriate when she described the ‘people of the east’ in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Words such as Bluenoser, Gaelic and homogeneity were used to describe .....

.... only to sit on the sidelines and watch. It is quite probable that such girls are only able to get onto the teams on the basis that most schools simply do not have a football team dedicated solely to the women football athletes. This lack of recognition for female athletes only becomes more frequent as one progresses through the levels of competition in virtually any sport. The games of women's teams, where they do exist, tend to draw only limited crowds at most levels of competition, scholastic or otherwise. In the realm of athletic activities, the American society has chosen not to offer the same opportunities to its women as it traditionally h .....

.... about other's ideas and beliefs. Racism is a belief that one or more races is superior to others. Prejudice is prejudging others. "Gordon Alport, a professor at Emeritus of Psychology at Harvard University and an expert at prejudism defines prejudice as.. `a hostile attitude toward a person who belongs to a group, simply because he belong to that group, and therefore presumes to have the objectable qualities ascribed to that group'(Lang)23" The most common way prejudice works is by stereotyping people, that is putting everyone form the same ethnic group together and assuming they all have the same negative characteristics or behave in .....

.... The theory is that if condoms were given out or made available at high schools, then the students would be more inclined to use them. They would have them or be able to get them if they need to use them. This would cut down on unprotected sexual intercourse and prevent the pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and H.I.V. infection. If a student was at a party and decided, on the spur of the moment, to engage in sexual intercourse, then it is more likely that they have a condom if schools distributed them. This sounds good in theory, but will it really work? If schools distribute condoms, shouldn't they also teach the students how .....

.... fact that they are a woman. Prior to the Women's movement women were constantly discriminated against in this manner. Sexual discrimination still exists but its occurrence has drastically reduced, subtle discrimination is however, still quite prevalent in our society. Salary is one aspect of this still present discrimination, a vast majority of women employed in the work force today receive less of a paycheck for the same amount of hours worked on the same jobs as men. This is reinforced by the low number of women who have a high paying, high powered job. There are a significantly higher number of women who have little or no power in decision m .....

.... As a child, Janie longs for the glorious truth which tickles her fancy through the heavenly scent of the pear tree, but the hard materialism of her grandmother and later her first husband restrain her by trying to crowd her mind with the empty trinkets which they themselves have learned to value. Her second husband is similarly stifling; though his strength and power is at first appealing, he too is unable to comprehend that life is in the living and the being, and not in the having and the controlling. Janie not knowing what marriage really meant, married because she thought he could take care of her. Marriage is defined as an insitution uniti .....

.... is hard for us to give it up, even though it contradicts another dream that we have— that of living in a society that would really be worth living in." (Bella, et. Al. 285) Materialism is closely tied to our individualism. We are taught to pursue our materialistic American dream, to get ahead in life, to be somebody, to pursue our own happiness. Even our own Declaration of Independence assumes we are individuals first and for most: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. . ." For .....

.... leap would continue and increase in the 1980's and on into the 1990's. The result, in 1995, is a female labor force that numbers over 60 million. This comprised 46 percent of the civilian work force (10). A reason for the rise in participation by women may be in the way women saw marriage and children. Fewer women saw marriage as a settling down. Women who had children began to return to their jobs. The number of working women that were either married or had children or both increased dramatically. In 1965, women with children under 18 years of age numbered 35.0 percent of the labor force. This number increased to 47.4 percent in 1975. In te .....
