The Death Penalty
.... abandon the practice altogether. Pennsylvania adopted a new law, in 1974, to distinguish the different degrees of murder and used the death penalty mostly for premeditated murder, murders which are planned out before they are executed. The death penalty was also confined to crimes of murder, including felony murder. A felony murder is any homicide committed in the course of committing another felony such as rape of robbery. After the 1972 court ruling that all but a few capital statutes were unconstitutional, thirty-seven states revised and reenacted their death penalty laws.

The War On...Dress Codes
.... allowed to wear.
Numerous students would also like to wear shirts and other clothing related to Satan. Worshipping Satan is just another form of religion, just like worshipping God. Yet students are not allowed to wear clothing involving Satan, Hell, or death. That is an unconstitutional rule though as the freedom of religion is guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution. People are allowed to wear clothes referring to God, Jesus, and the Holy Bible. Why not Satan and other things related to Satanism?
The content that should be allowed on shirts has also been a conflict between students and the faculty. Us students are not allo .....

This makes them more susceptible to give into negative peer pressure.1

Generations
.... have different values but most values are alike.
One value of my generation is the right to opinion. Ways of showing our rights to opinion is we have protests about what we feel is right and what we feel is wrong. Another way is the clothes we wear, we like to wear big, baggy clothes but society frowns upon this because they think we carry weapons or drugs and that we hide them in our clothes. Our opinions on life are a good way of showing our right to opinion because we are set on certain beliefs and we stick to those beliefs and rebel against authority figures that try to change our beliefs.
Another value is our fre .....

Instore Help?
.... aquarium obscuring even the fish. Although I had an idea as to how I might deal with this problem I decided to ask at the local fish store to see if some breakthrough product or method has been developed since my stint in the business. This yielded absolutely nothing.
I was able to find no one who, a) knew what exactly I was dealing with, b) could provide a viable solution or c) was honest about the first two. No one asked how much light the tank receives, what type of filtration system is installed or whether the tank is maintained properly. Although they had tried to placate me by selling what I knew to be useless products. .....

Optimism Verses Pessimism
.... a pessimist overlooks the positive and dwells on the negative. For example, if someone was to make an A on a test, a optimist would say “ good job,” when a pessimist would say “it was a very easy test anyway, and anyone could have passed it.”
If a person gets diverged in pessimism he will become depressed and discouraged. A pessimist strives on negativity and sorrow.
