World Hunger
.... in many ways.
But first lets establish a solid definition of poverty : Poverty is a state in
which the ability of individuals or groups to use power to bring about good for
themselves, their families, and their community is weakened or blocked. When
someone lacks food, this is referred to as material poverty. This sort of
poverty can hurt people in many ways, it can hurts people's self esteem and it
can also hurt their outlook on life. Lets say you come home from work to see
your family, instead of seeing a family which is happy because it has a roof
over its head you come home to see that your children don't have enough food .....

Gangs
.... 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 nobody can
completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching
the TV. Very few hours of television watched by children are educational, so
other ideas are being absorbed during this period of time. Many shows on
television today are extremely violent and are often shown this from a gang's
perspective. A normal adult can see .....

the country doesn't have college but the city has a lot of colleges.for example,
the people in the country go to the city to learn.
All of it told above such as work, enviroment, entertainment usually show the
different between of them. The country is quiet but the city is bustling. All in
all,. the both of them have special qualities.

Immigration Into Canada
.... highly unusual in our bilingual
nation, what is unusual is that the language of choice for the immersion
programme is not French, it is Mandarin. The programme was voted in by parents
who believed the Mandarin language to be more important to their children's
futures in Vancouver than French. This situation shows quite effectively the
transition which is taking place in Canada's third largest city. Vancouver is a
city which is consistently looking more and more to the Pacific Rim nations,
especially Hong Kong, for its economic and social connections.
Vancouver is the most asian Canadian city in outlook. At $1.3 Billion,

The Population Solution
.... Solar system, including the Sun...
and by about 6700 AD - the human population would weigh as much as the entire
Universe." The preceding paragraph, by Isaac Asimov describes quite alarmingly
just how bad the population problem really is, that in considerably less time
that has passed since the days of Julius Caesar the population will equal in
mass of that of the earth. Most people assume that human numbers will stabilize
at some point in the future. Hopefully it will, but not without conditions that
will contribute to the solution of the population explosion, conditions which
include education, birth control methods and governmen .....

Family Values
.... My parents were working to provide us with a home, things we
needed and wanted. Regardless, as a child a family was just as important. A
popular soul singer, Luther Vandross, sang a song whose lyrics explained about
objects in a house that were still the same, but a house was not a home if there
wasn't anyone there you can kiss good night. I must agree with Luther, I've felt
the same way for years. It would have been nice to have my parents home to
enforce rules at home. For example, if someone would have been home I would have
done my homework instead of going outside to play. Another example is sitting
together as a fami .....

Why Are There Poor People
.... to have all the things that I had, and that millions of kids in the
world would die to have the life I had. I was still very confused about the
whole situation. Why wasn't every family like ours? What did those people do
wrong? My dad just said that was life . . . some people are lucky, and some
people aren't.
At first, I thought that all poor people were the same, but I later
found out that anybody can be poor. Through the years, I learned that not all
people are born into poverty, that some people can become poor over time.
People can have steady jobs and eventually layoffs occur or seniority rules.
Innocent people who .....

Parental Pressure Within High School Students
.... might be students out there at
Ramapo High School that think differently. These are some of the things that I
will try to find out through this I-Search.
III. At the beginning of my search, I had a really hard time finding
secondary sources. First, I went to the school library. Since the school
library has this computer program called BELS, there was no need to go to the
other libraries. BELS is a program that lists all the books in Franklin Lakes,
Wyckoff, and Oakland. It is a network that unites the two public libraries and
the one in Indian Hills. I then went to an article search. I had no luck here
either. When I wen .....

Pornography: Sex Or Subordination?
.... a leading researcher in the pornography
field, “the relationship between sexually violent images in the media and
subsequent aggression and . . . callous attitudes towards women is mush stronger
statistically than the relationship between smoking and cancer” (Itzin 22).
After considering the increase in rape and molestation, sexual harassment, and
other sex crimes over the last few decades, and also the corresponding increase
of business in the pornography industry, the link between violence and
pornography needs considerable study and examination. Once the evidence you
will encounter in this paper is evaluated and quantif .....

The Pressure To Be Perfect
.... it is now a push of a button. Just think,
things have the possibility to grow increasingly worse because of the
'information super highway'. There is no need to get out and walk the malls in
search of a particular item or gift. With the use of the 'super highway' you
just need a credit card and the item is delivered to your doorstep. Can
technology be causing more harm than good?
One of the most disheartening facts is that there are people and companies that
are benefiting from those who continue to struggle with weight loss. Magazine
publishers boost sales by promoting articles on how do lose weight. Book
publishers and self .....

Values
.... on a front with your relatives, they will almost always accept you
for who you are.
Another value that was influenced by my parents as well as television, is
friendship. Even though your family is always there for you, friends are still
very important to have. Having friends will usually raise a person's self-
esteem. By having friends you know that you are a good person, and that people
like you. Friends can also help you cope with problems that can't be discussed
with you parents. If I am having a problem with any part of life, I know I
could discuss it with a friend and get it resolved. Besides the obvious pros of

A Jew In Germany Or Occupied Europe:
.... greatly; nearly everybody does, but this is a new
strain of hatred that I have no seen before. In letter she states that some new
anti-semitic rules called "The Nuremburg Laws" came into effect just this month
which will practically sign her business' death warrant. Over the pass year her
shop has been fire bombed several times and even her distressed children are
receiving threats from kids their own age. Her husband has even been assaulted
by brown shirted thugs belonging to this Nazi party. I hope she will write soon
because I think she will not be able to cope with any more of this harassment.
