.... “ and the “receiver� of messages are involved. In this method, the door of communication is not merely opened, but participants learn how to keep it open. Gordon says that in order to learn how to listen actively, the teacher or parent must understand more about the communication process. He says that when a child decides to communicate with a parent or teacher, it is because he has a need. The child’s organism is in a state of “disequilibrium� because there is something going on inside him. He wants, or needs something. In order to bring the organism back to a state of equilibrium the child begins to talk. Gordon gives the example .....

.... all of recorded history" (Paglia 406). She relates her Italian heritage to the old traditional punishments of the rapists. Since there is still social injustice between sexes and the biological difference between the genders, she conflicts with feminist arguments such as equality of men and women, sexual freedom, and ability of both sexes going any place any time. Academic Feminism is lost in the mist of social constructionism and we are not the products of the environment. Furthermore, according to Paglia men and women are in a war in which men are masculine, fighting for their identity. Women are trying to explain to men that they are different; .....

.... can be loved by anyone who is willing to love it because love is colorblind. There are many minority children who are without permanent homes in the United States, crossing the color bar is frowned upon by many people. The debate over transracial adoption is whether or not it is in the best interest of the child. The problem in today's society is that foster care is preferred over transracial adoption. The reason being the children and youth services would rather put a black child in foster homes of that race instead of letting a white couple adopt it because they are white. They believe that putting a black child in white family would culturally .....

.... doubt their validity. They are almost always false or grossly distorded,yet they endure for years. Urban Legend is a term popularized by University of Utah Folklore expert, Jan Harold Brunvand (Brooke 2). They comprise the many more or less believable and always amazing stories that so many swear to be true but so few are able to prove. are usually told at sleepaway camps,schools, family reunions,cocktail parties,and even corporate coolers.They are also spread by word of mouth,news reports,read in the paper,on the phone, fax, email and online internet.

.... eighteen. I wait for his call; the phone rings at nine-thirty, could it be him? I answer. The sound of his voice puts a warm, tingly feeling all over me. The words that he says to me makes my blood race through my veins. We talk about our day and how we cannot wait to see each other again. When he makes a positive comment, my face brightens like a light bulb. When negativity occurs, I brush it off as though it was never said. Then, it is time to say goodnight. When he says, “I you,� fireworks explode in my heart. “ is a vine that grows into our hearts.� (anonymous). The scent of is sweet and flowery. has a smooth, peaceful, murm .....

.... within their families or communities. The women were mostly around to cook, clean, and take care of the families, therefore, they were there to act as slaves and keep the men happy. After many years, women finally gained a little freedom and control when the government was first developed in 1776. After learning only how to cook and clean in the home by their mothers, the young girls began to attend school and learned how to use the proper English and mathematics skills. This gave more women a greater opportunity and to have an open mind in the public. Today women have many rights and a very wide range of freedom. They can go anywhere and d .....

.... that appeal to male stereotypes include power, prestige, good health and longevity, sex, and new experiences. Attributes that appeal to female stereotypes include comfort, family affection, tenderness, fear, romance, generosity, and sensory pleasure. Advertisers, therefore, use actors or actresses who can trigger an emotional response from one of the above-mentioned attributes, encouraging the consumer to buy the product. Since effectiveness is gender linked, demographics play an essential role in determining which sex will buy the product. In the average home, women are the purchasers of household products, such as food and drinks, or soaps and .....

.... if there is no change, and Heinlein provides a perspective of how untrue gender stereotypes of the time were. The Puppet Master turns the tables on men and women, by showing that men can cry, and that they can show fear. By comparison the female protagonist (Mary) is shown to be smart, savvy, and able to hold her own (sometimes surpassing) her male comrades. Paul and Anita by contrast have a dysfunctional (and loveless) relationship because society will not allow them to escape from their expected roles in society. The United States of the future (In Player Piano) has been transformed to the point where its appearance paralleled the popular idea of .....

.... the visual sense always has and probably always will play a major role in men's sexual responsiveness" (Brooks 439). Where women are touched more by emotions because that's their nature obviously doesn't offend men, so why should we as men apologize for following our natural animal drives? The female body is without a doubt a marvel to behold. The curves, the build, and the fact that there is just so much variety is unreal. I believe that anyone who says that the first impression they get of a person isn't collected from a visual standpoint has to be lying. No matter how wrong it may seem to be to some, women have been dressing in short skirt .....

.... Now, more than ever, fashion seem to dominate the youth's everyday. Perhaps the reason is that they feel insecure and think that the "right" clothes will give them a feeling of being accepted by the group. This phenomen has a negative side. What if a pupil can't afford to buy these clothes? Will he or she be excluded from the gang? Some schools in various countries have tried to solve this problem. They have introduced a rule that allows pupils to go at school only if they are dressed in a specific school-uniform. But many students don't like these uniforms. They want to decide for themselves how to dress. During the last years it ha .....
