Racism
.... every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting. Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral. Nobody is exempt from this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse. On one occasion I remember, nobody would play with me at school. I would walk around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that I went, like the process of induc .....

Liberalism
.... liberties are their right to advance in society, on their own merit, not based on race, sex or religious beliefs. This opportunity should be available for everybody.
The economic core of liberalism is just as important as the moral core in that each person has the right to own property, to earn money/ improve their net worth, produce and sell goods, inheritance, and the right to enter into a contract. The economy is what resulted when the values of the economic core are put to use. The economy is controlled by the individual, who looking out for his best interests, consumes, sells, hires workers, loans or borrows money, finds .....

Realism, Idealism, And Marxism-Leninism
.... Politics Among Nations, coined the idea that states must seek to be the most important actor, seek to increase their power, and logically deduct the business of international relations. These three principles are the core of what Morganthau called “Political Realism.” While Realism may seem practical, it is not above criticism. Idealists point out that these policies may lead to an arms race, or increased inflation. Truth known political-leaders are motivated by political survival rather than the pursuit of power. A historical example of this thought pattern exists following World War II, decision-makers of this period came t .....

Women In South Asia
.... in law's prejudice against her. Marriage was almost a necessity as a mean of support or protection. A married woman ususally took her husband's statues and lived with the family, with little resources in case of ill treatment or nonsupport. After a marriage, she had to give up her happiness and freedom that was blessed with. Haima's soul was dying slowly. I think her husband's vacillation made her life more difficult. He should've take her away from his house because he knew her soul was getting ill, but he quit after few trial. He didn't have enough courage to break traditional prejudice against women.
The story of .....

“Cultural Murders”
.... devotion and dependance on him (Farquhar 5).
His family took many acid trips together. During the trips, Manson would teach all night. All would listen sad think it sounded a little screwy, but still they would believe all he said. His acid trips got continually more violent. He started raving about the race war in which the oppressed blacks would rise to slaughter all of the whites. He said the Beatles sent messages of the Armaggeddon through the “White Album”with songs such as “Helter Skelter”, “Revolution”, and “Piggies.” He played the album endlessly (Farquhar 6).
Along with the music, Charlie was amused by his sexual .....

The X Files: Negative Images Of Races
.... are seen as inferior to this person. Another problem with this episode is that the local authorities can't figure out what is going on until the "white" FBI agents come along and "enlighten" them. Subconsciously, this can have a drastic effect on people. If they see that the "white man" has to show everyone the answers to everything, they might think of every Latin American as stupid, and ignorant. Weather this is true or not, this person that is watching this believes it.
In the episode "Hell Money", Asian immigrants are bribed into a gravely dangerous game with the false hope of making a large amount of money, re .....

Censorship Of Music In The Media
.... remains that so long as the means are peaceful, the communication need not meet standards of acceptability.
Some advocates of government action to restrict access to music have called certain music obscene and suggested that this might permit federal regulation. Such suggestions cannot be reconciled with First Amendment jurisprudence. Obscenity, which the Court has said is largely outside the boundaries of First Amendment protection, it is a very narrow and circumscribed area of communication. Being that obesity is easily confused with protected sexual expression. Supreme Court has asked that lyrics be specified as to their .....

The Different Ways Of Raising Children
.... the children who are raised in the United States. Traditionally, many parents in Hong Kong punish their children by hitting when they make some mistakes. Because of there are no formal laws to protect the children from getting hit, some parents even hit their children without any reasons. On the other hand, the parents in the United States do not hit their children easily because they all know this is not a way to discipline. There are some laws to control the parents who hit their children because children are also human beings. Actually, they have the same human rights as the adults.
Of course, Hong Kong is different .....

Friends
.... any other teenager around me.
If I were asked to assess my character and forces that are responsible for its structure I would repeat what I have already stated. Now after doing the self-analysis from the book I am sort of lost. I do not know or let’s say that I did not know how science would analyze me. Maybe, as the results showed, I am pragmatic, a self-monitor, a non-risk taker and maybe even a person who hates into everything. Although it sounds bad having all these traits is not necessarily evil. It is due to my average self-esteem that I do not become over confident or stay aloof. It is due to my self monitoring that I .....

Th Threat Of Terrorism
.... for more power to effect political change on a local or an international scale. The acts of terrorist have multiplied in the later half of the 20th century due to technological advancements in explosives, microelectronics, and transportation. Terrorism is a product of a fierce nationalist demanding for change or more power to a specific group.1
In the 1990's the number international terrorist attacks decreased, however the number of deaths that occur during the attacks have increased largely. A example of a very lethal attack was in Tokyo in March 1995. Sarin gas was used in a Tokyo subway by the Aum Shinrikyo c .....

Serial Killers, The Minds, The Methods, The Madness
.... this most heinous of crimes, however has changed over centuries. Four hundred years ago, killers in the European countryside were referred to as lyncanthropes, a Greek word meaning wolf-man. An Italian physician named Cesare Lombroso came up with a similar term for these serial killers. Lombroso believed that criminals were “atavistic," meaning they were savage Stone Age men from the prehistoric past. Lombroso deducted that these criminals could be identified by their physical characteristics. These included thick skulls, high cheekbones, jutting brows, long arms, etc. Eventually, Lombroso’s theory was discredited, but societ .....

Adolescence
.... can lead to careless experimentation and unsafe sexual practices that can result in early unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and inappropriate and aggressive sexual behaviour. Curiosity and the need that many young people feel to test boundaries and limits can also lead to risk-taking behaviours in the form of dangerous driving, experimentation with drugs and alcohol, or involvement in crime.
Many of the factors that place young people at risk and narrow their life choices are societal in nature. High youth unemployment, uncertainty in the Canadian economy, living in poverty, racism, sexism and other .....
