Social Effects Of The Vietnam War On The United States
.... the French rule of Vietnam. Since America was fighting the Japanese as well they shared information with Vietnam to defeat Japan. After World War II had ended Vietnam, for a short time, became independent. However, President Trueman decided to support the French to regain Vietnam because of concern over the spread of communism. As a result the Vietnimh went back to prepare for another war against their oppressors. After their defeat at Dienbienphu in 1954 the French withdrew from Vietnam.
Instead of Ho Chi Minh taking over all of Vietnam after his victory, he accepted a temporary division of Vietnam with him being the le .....

Women In Nationalist Movements
.... subordinate countries in this case began their quest for industrial status. Many of these countries modeled their goals after countries that were successful. Successful in this respect meant that there was a strong national identity. Nationalism also gave the country an opening to define their culture, economics, and status.
Women in many countries thought that the nationalist movement would provide them with the opportunity to advance in the public sphere. In Turkey, Mustapha Kemal recognized the “courage and militancy of Turkish women during the Balkan wars and World War I.” (Kemal article) This time allowed women to ob .....

Sitting Down As A Family For Dinner
.... or a honk for the passing cars at the Sonic. No longer is there assurance in knowing that every member of your family will be present at the designation eating time.
Refrigerators where mothers and wives once posted nightly menus describing delicious meals are now covered with marker boards and post it notes informing where each person has gone, all which seem a waste because there is no one there.
Does the passing of this fad show? I think so. Just look at our society and how it has diminished compared over the past several years. The same years when people have been to busy for dinner and family time. Why are they all so .....

Colonial Super Mom
.... her own children she also brought other children into the families of others.
The midwife today is not so important as it was two hundred years ago. Back then it was the highest paying job for a female. Martha in her life time birthed over three thousand babies. She received generous amounts of money doing this and also made many friends. As a woman it was hard to earn money in those times for things other then knitting and what not. Martha was a ground breaker though and proved that a woman could succeed in the new world of America. She was considered the main doctor in town and she had that respect. When there were .....

What Is Morality?
.... moral theories, the best known theory to define morality is utilitarianism.
The approach of utilitarianism is that for what is useful is consider to be good, and the ethical value of conduct is determined by the utility of its result. According to the utilitarianism, what makes an action morally worthy is not so much why it is done, but what it is done. Therefore, the term utilitarianism is applied to the objective of moral action is to perform the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
The history of Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism was first introduced by the British theologian William Paley in his Principl .....

The Treatment Of A Women In Sports
.... accomplishment to be achieved. Although, women are making strives towards equality, and making progress in acknowledging females for their athletic ability, there are still many signs of sexism and poor treatment because of their endeavors.
Even today with the press towards a new “equalitarian attitude” women athletes still encounter the old school view of the norm and the politics of a male dominated realm. This being the case women are still being ridiculed for playing sports. Many females with athletic ability are being stereotyped as “Lesbian” or masculine simply because of their accomplishments in sports. Simply stated, t .....

Human Rights
.... that simply being a certain gender or creed makes them superior to everyone else. Some white supremacist groups think they are so privileged to be able to decide the fate of several thousand people. It is important to realize these groups have the potential to cause serious bodily harm to people against this power. Today, all it takes for an enemy of the “White Power” to be hunted out is an identification on a web page, or an Email posting. Survival to the fittest, or that’s what some people think. White supremacists for example believe that because they are white they are superior human beings and thus destined to rules t .....

Greed
.... efficient ships. He served food on his ships, which the customers liked and he lowered his costs. He lowered the New York to Hartford fare from $8 to $1. Rockefeller made his fortunes selling oil. He also lowered his costs, making fuel affordable for the working-class people. The working-class people, who use to go to bed after sunset, could now afford fuel for their lanterns. The people, who worked an average 10-12 hours a day, could now have a private and social life. The consumers were happy, the workers were happy, and they were happy.
Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft Corporation is another example of a “greedy” person. He is the .....

“A Fair Chance For The Girls”
.... strengths and weakness and the one strength that I saw was the way he tried to draw you in by believing that by stating the effects on the reproductive system and the brain. The weakness that I found in this reading was his failure to cite more cases of this so-called “fair chance”. When I say that I mean that maybe if he could have showed us more then maybe we {women} might have seen this as a fair warning that before we get to deep into the learning process we should sit down and evaluate his findings.
I really just think that if he had been around today then surely his idea about women and education would be different. Cons .....

Lesbian By Choice
.... are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or gives any more comfort or ease to the woman. The elective lesbian is seen as having "elected" to be lesbian. These are women who have experienced heterosexual relations and have decided that they prefer the same sex. This may appear as a choice, but it is far from that. The environment or family setting may have driven the .....

Abstract Expressionism
.... expressionist painting were the attention paid to surface qualities, ie., qualities of brushstroke and texture: the use of huge canvases: the adoption of an approach to space in which all parts of the canvas played an equally vital role in the total work; the harnessing of accidents that occurred during the process of painting; the harnessing of accidents that occurred during the process of painting; and the glorification of the act of painting itself as a means of visual communication”. (2) Expressionism presented a broad range of style diversity, which was largely nonrepresentational. This movement had an influence on the .....

Curfews
.... officer tells us to, if our parents let us go out and we are not doing anything wrong.
Another thing that gets to me is why the curfew law applies to teenagers sixteen and seventeen years of age. An average teenager gets his or her licenses at age sixteen. Usually by the time you are sixteen you are mature and responsible enough to drive and stay out with friends or even family. Drivers go places to have fun and these curfew laws take this opportunity away from us. Even if you are younger than sixteen and your parents are willing to let you stay out after ten o’ clock p.m. then what is the problem?
The main disadvantage .....
