Society's Restraint To Social Reform
.... market) and economic (collapse in the market demand for
their often limited skills due to an economic recession or shift in technology).
The Permissive View reveals that all participants in society are deserving of
the unconditional legal right to social security without any relation to the
individual's behaviour. It is believed that any society which can afford to
supply the basic needs of life to every individual of that society but does not,
can be accused of imposing life-long deprivation or death to those needy
individuals. The reason for the needy individual being in that situation,
whether they are willing to work, or th .....

Abolishing Poverty In The U.S
.... who are absolutely poor are relatively poor.
These types of poor are found all throughout the world especially in
underdeveloped countries. In the United States a advanced well-developed
country both absolute and relative poverty are present throughout the country.
I think that absolute poverty has no beneficial purposes to society.
However, relative poverty does have beneficial functions. I think that relative
poverty can make people competitive. It would do this because people always try
to do better then the people around them. This competitiveness might force
people to work overtime or even two jobs in order to .....

A Civil Rebuttal
.... ourselves? As a baker's
vocation is to bake, a philosopher's vocation is to think. Is it not that we
all think? I was deeply saddened at your comments in the oppression and
restriction to what I may or may not strive to think. As a pacifist and non-
sadist, I call what you believe in as ‘ingraining or indoctrination', whereas
our own society may call it ‘brainwashing'. Our human nature gives us freedom,
as does the Constitution. It guarantees us the right to “life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness”. Within the refines of this home, I find it a task to see
those liberties granted. Here is a few of the world's g .....

Analysis Of The Human Cultural Identity
.... known as Encyclopedie. He used this translation as a powerful
propaganda weapon against Ecclesiastical authority, and the semifeudal social
reforms of the time. Protestantism is a good example also. It is one of the
three major divisions of Christianity. It displays the release of traditional
religion and the movement to worldly learning and the rise of protests against
the controlled way of expressing one's self. It allows the human himself to
reason out the way that he thinks, instead of an authority telling him how to do
so therefore, extending his mind.
The Industrialism-Modernism culture is a culture that represe .....

Howls, The Truddi Chase Story, Sybil, and Jennifer and Herselves the correlation
between MPD and abuse will be made. There are more similarities to these
examples than just MPD, all were driven to MPD due to excessive physical, ual,
or emotional abuse from a parental figure. Also, each of these studies show the
cause and effects this disorder has on .
Most MPD sufferers are , in fact female MPD sufferers outnumber men by a
ratio of nine to one (Hales, 1993). This may be true because will keep

The Censorship In The American Society
.... debatable material, will
censor it when they find it objectionable or offensive. Milton R. Konvitz feels
that "objectionable material will be considered immoral or obscene, heretical or
blasphemous, seditious or treasonable, or injurious to national security(1)."
The spirit of censorship seems to exist in the minds of people, the objected
viewers, who has the power. There are no standards as to what is unacceptable.
If the material has an offending word, arouses a protest or an underlying
message conveyed and causes resentment to a person, the material is inadmissible.

Child Abuse: Saddest And Most Tragic Problem Today
.... is any knowing or willful
mistreatment which in the opinion of a licensed medical doctor causes great
bodily harm and/or results in hospitalization for treatment of this injury or
condition; this may include physical injury sustained as a result of abuse or
conditions which result from a parent's willful failure to act to stop this from
happening to the child.

Juvenile Delinquency
.... who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to
their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to
a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime
statistics, though they are often incomplete and may be misleading, do give an
indication of the extent of the delinquency problem. The FBI reports that
during the early 1980's, about two-fifths of all arrests in the United States
for burglary and arson were of persons under the age of 18. Juveniles also
accounted for about one-third of all arrests for larceny. During any year,
about 4 % of all children between .....

Creativity
.... concluded that intelligence does
not have any effect on creativity and it is the thinking style that actually
stimulates creativity (Journal of Personality). His tests focused on the
hemispheres of the brain in which he stated that " . . . left - hemisphere style
is related to less creativity than right - hemisphere and interhemisphere
styles." (Journal of Personality). Results of Torrance's study prompted others
to reject his conclusion by maintaining that ". . . intellectual superiority is
the primary determining factor in creative performance." (Kirk & Gallager 1983).
Intelligence might not be a major factor in innovations .....

Culture, Nature & Freedom: Treating Juvenile Offenders.

Next, we can look at Mills Ideas on culture. He would like to elevate the
morals of the human mind. To do this, we must continually test the standard. New
ideas must be able to circulate freely. We must weigh how all actions effect
others. This can not be done in these Youth centers as well. They have very
specific codes and any questioning is reprimanded. Cultural influx is at a
standstill and Censor ship is at it's highest possible level. A residential
treatment modality gives all ideas a free shot. Self Government, A system used
by the youth assures a safe environment to share all feedback and new ideas

Distractions In Life
.... do the
exact same thing for the rest of my life. I had to escape this bottomless pit
and move on to the next adventure. "I had several more lives to live and could
not spare any time for that one."
I moved on to another life. My "new" life was very hard to get used to,
but was well worth the trouble. I began trying new things and actually enjoyed
it. I realize now that I only have a short time in my life and I have to make a
difference here, before I move on to the higher place. I need to speak my views
and express my feelings. I need to have fun and work for what I believe in at
the same time. Soon I will move on once again to .....

Does Video Game Violence Affect Children?
.... (5
girls, and 5 boys), got their parents permission, and made sure they had no idea
there was an experiment taking place. The second step I took was observing the
children play together before being exposed to violent video games, I looked for
any sign of violent behavior. What I consider violent behavior is punching,
kicking, slapping (even if no contact is made), and cussing. After watching
them I discovered that none of them showed any signs of violent behavior. The
third step was letting them play the video games. I had problems getting the
five girls to play the games, they refused unless I let them play Sailor Moon
