.... alone time, meaning time apart from your significant other. I feel that this solo time is important so that each person can still be independent and learn to better value the time they have together. Togetherness, with all of its perks, can also be unhealthy. My pet peeve of unhealthy togetherness is when couples spend every moment of their time together. Spending too much time together can cause resentment from each other as well as from friends and family who don't get the time they deserve. I have been the forgotten friend of a girl who spent all of her time with "the love of her life." The relationship lasted only a few months, and our frie .....

.... models are athletes, but for others, athletes are their worst nightmares. In my high school, athletics was everything. Many of the athletes would pick on the little guys or under class men. The athletes at my school were bullies, but to my knowledge no one wanted to come in and shoot an athlete. How many students go into schools and just start shooting and being violent. Most students of today do not promote that type of violence. In fact, many athletes of all levels inspire youth to do better in school, to work as a team, and to try harder to give their all. Some examples of professional athletes that inspire youth are Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, .....

.... answered. It is like this everyday, everywhere, and everytime, people suffer discrimination. All because they have differences amongst each other. Different beliefs, different cultures, different skin colour, all of these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism. Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each and every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglectin .....

.... The scenery of boxing is broken bones, black and blue faces, blood...The more severe the fight the more exited and happy the audience seems to be. Violence simply stimulates people. Big glory comes when one passes out! YES...here is the hero! What is the message here? It is, we will like you more since you are physically stronger, and we will respect you because we are afraid of you. That is again, a wrong message. Violence is glorified the most throught media, violent movies, TV shows and newspaper sensationalism. THERE SEEMES TO BE A NEED FOR VIOLNCE IN SOCIETY! Violent movies are born one after another: "Die Hard","The God Father .....

.... This is because we as Canadians do not see ourselves as distinct Canadians. We need to have a common idea of what it is to be Canadian rather than always identifying with the place we came from. We identify with community or region over nation. To gain a Canadian identity we must learn to identify with a nation, Canada. This is one of the main reasons we lack a Canadian identity, because we as Canadians do not really think of ourselves as Canadians. We may be Canadians but we think of Canada as a place of refuge rather than a home. This ties in with our lack of patriotism. Many Canadians that I know, come Olympic time or another big w .....

.... but then again I have never wanted to kill someone, because I know the consequences if I ever did kill someone. People argue that we need to start making it hard for teens to watch violent movies, and make it harder to buy a gun, but I do not think that will change anything in our society. The harder we make it for someone to get something, the harder they will try to get it without anyone knowing about it. People are always looking to put the blame off on other people or something other than themselves. If people would stop blaming movies and start trying to help their kids, our society will improve. But taking the easy way out seems to be the .....

.... been no definitive answer. As a result, people working to solve gang problems have great difficulty. They find the situation overwhelming, and the violence continues. Early Gangs In United States History No groups completely fitting the above description of gangs existed in America until the early 1800s, but from the beginning of the European settlement in America there was gang-like activity, especially when class distinctions came into being. Gang members tended to be from the poorer classes and tended to be from the same race or ethnic background. They banded together for protection, recreation or financial gain. The 20th Century Gangs In t .....

.... slur seems commonplace and we don’t think twice about laughing at one of these jokes when we here one. We tell ourselves that they are just jokes, but not to those who they are ridiculing. We are all perpetrators of this and we usually feel that these types of jokes are harmless. They can be harmless and maybe at times we even think they are funny, but they are also hurtful and degrading. Some of the biggest racists are those who think that they are not racist and really are. Why are these people some of the biggest racists? It is because they cannot comprehend what is happening and do not realize what they are saying is racist. Until they .....

.... because they are in there “observing and learning� stages of their life. Kids learn through social learning or learning through observations. The adolescence years of a child are the most important. This is the time in their life when they learn behavior from others, most of the time being the parents or guardians. But with todays changing culture, more and more children are watching television so they can learn from it because parents are giving them the attention they need. “Forty years of research conclude that repeated exposure to high levels of media violence teaches some children and adolescents to settle interpersonal differences wi .....

.... capitalist economy there are two major groups; the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie are those who own the means of production, have the power. The proletariat are those that work for the bourgeoisie and are at their mercy. At the economy develops, the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat grows wider and eventually all the capital is controlled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone with little or no sociological background, the above paragraph has nothing to do with population as a social problem. But if you fit population into Marx's description of the capitalist sys .....
