What Is Stupidity?
.... or idea.”. The word “Stupid”
would used differently than most commoners. It would be used less than an
insult but refer to something somewhat more in a serious manner. For
example, saying that someone is stupid, would mean that they are mentally
challenged or really act dumb.
In, any case, the word “Stupid” refers to being dumb and being
halfwitted. However, keep in mind that the word “Stupid” has no set
guidelines and people all over the world, in any language may interpret it
differently at their own will and or risks. In the end, stupidity will
always be around for centuries and centuries to come. Just think, how can

Feminist Backlash: The Unconscious Undermining Of Genuine Equality
.... many Americans. They crossed the line of personal
and moral decisions and made ridiculous accusations toward men. The first
feminists were necessary. Modern feminists have lost touch with American
women and “unconsciously undermined genuine equality”. It is no wonder
why men and women try to distance themselves from feminism.
Long before Europeans came to the “new land” with their Judeo-
Christian ideology, patriarchy was the exception not the norm. Women,
their bodies, and ability to give birth and nurse children were adorned.
Women did eighty percent of the hunting until the reintroduction of the
horse. “Women were .....

The Wild Life: Single And Married Couples
.... people operate
on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is necessary to fit
everything in. A couple of weeks ago I ran into an old friend, an old yet
single friend. We talked for a while, reminiscing about high school and
past boyfriends, and decided we had to get together some time soon. She
and I tried to set a lunch date, or even a dinner date. After I offered
several possible days and times she concluded that she would have to get
back with me. She had no idea what plans she had already made.
Married people often think back to their single days as being days
of freedom and individuality. But what about the loneline .....

Pornography

can, minors have had their hands on these vulgar publications.
Approximately 70% of the pornographic magazines sold eventually end up in
the hands of minors. More so, the chief consumers of pornographic material
in the United States are 15-19 year old males. More strict regulations of
pornography sales would lead to a decrease in the distribution of these
magazine, but many people wonder why these magazines are considered to be
so bad?
People wonder how displays of sexual acts must be regulated, when
those acts have been the creators of life. Without sex, there would be no

The Media And Its Effect On Women And Their Views Of Their Bodies
.... it might do to their careers. In many cases
the media has constructed faulty images that suggest that the influence of
gender in terms of "human nature" compel people in the eyes of the media to
behave and act in certain stereotypical ways, in turn causing young
impressionable women to be wrongfully misled.
"Babies aren't born hating their bodies but instead grow up to
learn that fat is bad; and thinness will bring you happiness." states Sarah
Stephen in the 1998 article "Fat is Still a Feminist Issue" These images
are being taken to extremes throughout the fashion industry, often
displayed by the waif look of hollow cheeks and .....

What Are Morals?
.... originate from? Freud says
that moral development comes from observation of parents during the
developmental stage of childhood. From childhood, then, comes the
foundation for adulthood morality. A more detailed, yet similar, theory
proposed by Kohlbegis that a child goes through certain stages of moral
development. The first stage is very simple; the child perceives that
whatever it is rewarded for is good, and that anything that it is punished
for is bad. As the child grows older, it perceives good as being what
makes others happy, or what gives themselves praise or attention. Finally,
as maturity is reached, the indivi .....

Children Are Easily Influenced
.... other hand, are more cautious. Even when
girls are young, they are still weary of trusting people they don't know.
There are, of course, exceptions to every rule.
Finally, kids are most influenced by their parents and their
friends. Because friends and family members are people that kids trust,
they tend to want to be like them. Parents play a big role in a child's
life. If a kid sees his/her parents fight all the time at home, it will
probably make the child violent or secluded. If a kid hears his friends
cuss all the time, then he/she will probably start cussing too. If a child,
whether it be a boy or a girl, places .....

Mothers In The Workplace

of how to deal with continuing to work. Mothers also know how important it
is, even if they work, to show love and want to be around their child(ren).
When a couple are trying to raise a family, it is much easier when
there are two incomes. This way the parents do not have to worry about the
financial surprises that come up. For example, if the husband or wife
loses his or her job, and does not have a second income to depend on, the
family would be in financial burden. Also double income families do not
have to worry about the stress put on the father or mother because with .....

Mass Media, Sex, And Pornography
.... only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no
concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in
support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media does
not cause undesirable social behaviour and in actuality, the media people
should not be dubbed as the “bad guys”. They simply use their power in
the most constructive ways possible in order to promote their ratings and
popularity. One way to do that is to concentrate on what sells: sex,
violence and disaster.
Having said this, why is it then, that many in society still
believe otherwise; why do they continue to .....

Communicating To Kids About Divorce
.... ways to communicate to your children about
divorce. She recommends that children need to be told about the divorce
before it happens (Divorce: Telling the Children.
http://web.tusco.net/pfcs/prog%2033.htm). However, many parents fail to
tell their children that a divorce is in the near future. For instance,
John Lewis and his wife Phylis decided to get a divorce after several years
of marriage. Their son Brian was 14 years of age at the time of this
decision. Phylis one night packed her bags and left the house, without any
explanation to her son about her leaving. The next morning, John sat Brian

Homelessness

family members. It is hard to say exactly who the homeless are because it
is usually a temporary circumstance and not a permanent condition.
Therefore more appropriate manner of estimating homelessness is to
look at the number of people who are currently experiencing homelessness
rather than the number of "homeless people".
WHO ARE THE HOMELESS
Homeless people range anywhere from 11 to 65 years of age. Most
studies show that homeless adults are most likely to be male that female.
The homeless population is made up many different ethnic backgrounds, th .....

The Hutu Tribe
.... and larger all around facial features than the Tutsis. Most Tutsis are
seldom less than six feet tall, while the Hutu are very short people. The
Tutsis are related to the Masai and the people along the Nile, while the Hutus
have a Buntu history. As you can see the people that make up the tribes of the
Hutus and the Tutsis are a very diverse group of people.
The way of life for the Hutu and the Tutsis is considerably different.
Traditionally, the Tutsi were the wealthy, upper class and the Hutu were little
more than slaves. Now the power is a little more equally divided, but is still
more in favor of the Tutsis. Th .....
