Immigration & Americas Future
.... takes place in the
Third World. More than a billion people today are paid about 150 dollars a year,
which is less than the average American earns in a week. And growing numbers of
these poorly paid Third World citizens want to come to the United States.
In the 1970s, all other countries that accept immigrants started
controlling the number of people they would allow into their countries. The
United States did not. This means that the huge numbers of immigrants who are
turned down elsewhere will turn to the United States.
The number of immigrants is staggering. The human suffering they
represent is a nightmare .....

The Immigration Problem
.... to vote in both countries, and to travel
back and forth easily (Limon).
To understand the affects of immigration one must study the state where it is
more rampant. California is a magnet for immigrants. As a result, many claim
that immigrants are a great economic burden. California does, however, benefit
from its porous borders. The succession of immigrant groups has brought the
state unparalleled ethnic diversity (Gerston 9). Besides ethnic diversity,
California has one of the most diverse economies in the world. Despite its
problems, California prevails in agriculture, mining, manufacture,
transportation, communication, e .....

Immigration: Problem With Too Many Immigrants In The U.S
.... have
enough problems with the currents population.
I don't think certain ethnic groups should be give preference over
another group but I think educated workers who can speak English should be
granted passage before a poor worker who is coming over here to pick lettuce for
minimum wage. The educated people are the immigrants that will cause this
country to flourish and they are the ones that should be encouraged to migrate
to the U.S.
With some many problems facing the U.S. now, we need to worry about
ourselves and try to get ourselves on track before we can worry about saving the
world. If we can get our economy going and tak .....

Impact Of Television Violence In Relation To Juvenile Delinquency
.... In addition to the congressional hearings begun in the 1950s, there are
many reports that have been written which include: National Commission on the
Causes and Prevention of Violence (Baker & Ball, 1969); Surgeon General's
Scientific Advisory Committee on Television and Social Behavior (1972); the
report on children and television drama by the Group for the Advancement of
Psychiatry (1982); National Institute of Mental Health, Television and Behavior
Report (NIMH, 1982; Pearl, Bouthilet, & Lazar, 1982); National Research Council
(1993), violence report; and reports from the American Psychological
Association's "Task Force on .....

Women In Muslim Society
.... Women are thought of as being lower in intellect and spirituals
in comparison to men. In the Quran it states, "And of His signs is that He
created for you, of yourselves, spouses, that you may repose in them."(Q 30"21)
This causes many Muslims to look at women as creations like the animals and
plants and other useful things created by Allah. Muslims believe that women are
lacking many of the traits that men possess. The believe that women are lacking
gratitude as well as intelligence. The Hadith speaks of this subject saying,
"Women are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favours and
the good (charitab .....

Is The Criminal Justice System Racially Biased?
.... is the act of singling out for unfair treatment.
Labeling is stereotyping, or putting a tag on someone, and treating them
accordingly. Self-fulling Prophecy is an expectation about how things will be
the situations that they predicted or expected. Finally, Differential
Association is the idea that interacting with others learns criminal behavior.
It is no secret whites and blacks in America experience life differently
because of their race. Therefore, whites and blacks view the criminal justice
system differently. My research found 70% of those studied agree the courts do
not offer equal treatment. Although bot .....

Jesus And Youths In America
.... of the Christian
right I am sure do not realize how offensive the notion is that Christianity is
the only faith to recognize that killing and stealing are bad.
What exactly are the "norms" that are so exclusive to Christianity? The
Christian world is more afflicted with crime than Singapore ever will be, just
take a walk through the super Catholic ghettos of Buenos Aires.
I personally believe that the break from moral traditions does not exist.
The vast majority of American youth hold murder and violence to be a
proscription, and so do their families whether they consist of two moms or two
dads or one of each. Certainly povert .....

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 .....

Juvenile Crime: Crime Rates
.... the dire predictions made
about youth crime rates. Nearly all the factors that contribute to youth crime
-- single-parent households, child abuse, deteriorating inner-city schools --
are getting worse. At the same time, government is doing less (spending less)
to help break the cycle of poverty and crime.
Predicting a generation¹s future crime pattern is, of course, risky.
Especially when outside factors remain unpredictable (Will drug use be up or
down? Will gun laws be tightened?). Also, from year to year, crime rates can
fluctuate much like the stock market. What goes up generally comes down, and
what goes down gener .....

Leadership
.... reduced
government spending tremendously, and cut back on business regulations to
strengthen the business sector of the economy. By making this change, the
inflation rate fell 13% to 2%, and created thousands of jobs for Americans.
When Reagan entered office, the unemployment rate was 10.8%, when he left it was
5.3%. This economic growth would have never come if Reagan did not have the
will to change.
Even though Reagan's term sounds successful, there were many problems.
Failure is an aspect of leadership whether we want to believe it or not. The
drug menace, loss of international competitiveness, falling standard .....

Leaders Are Being Influenced Dominantly By Either Confidence Or Competence
.... are steadily empowered, and at a rate that depends on how well the newly
gained leadership is handled.
At all times though, the leader must be prepared to guide or even
realign the direction the newly independent followers take. The leader must
also realize the risk of failure in the complete empowerment of his or her
followers, as starting over completely is hardly possible. Were that to occur,
the subject would near definitely experience a severe loss of confidence as a
major consequence to a premature empowerment situation.
And lastly, if a leader is completely successful in empowering his or
her subjects and has sent th .....

Life Outside Our Biosphere
.... the second from the sun. This "sister
planet" of Earth proved to have extremely hostile conditions. Scientists were
hopeful when they found traces of water vapor in the upper atmosphere, but were
disappointed when concentrations of sulphuric acid were discovered mixed with
the water. Venus has surface temperatures of around 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and
an atmosphere one hundred times as thick as the Earth's. (This produces
pressure equivalent to pressure two miles under water on Earth.) These
conditions project a less than comfortable life on Venus.
The Moon has held Man's curiosity since we were created, leading to such .....
