Should Americans Adopt Internationally?
.... fast; sometimes placements occur within one year. International adoption can be faster if an agency has ties to a country with many waiting, orphaned children.
Another important reason people adopt from foreign countries is because they believe that children in foreign orphanages need parents desperately. China, for example, has many Chinese orphans available for adoption, especially girls, because of their birth control system. Agencies eagerly seek adoptive parents for these children. There are many countries where children and infants wait in orphanages and foster homes for parents. This would include Bolivia, Brazil, Bu .....

The Struggle Between Being And Knowing
.... by Lincoln Steffens and the film Dead Poets Society present a unique struggle between the traditional methodologies and the desire for something more. It is time to analyze the university experience with regards to what is and what should be. Our expectations and our realities.
The reality of the university in Steffens day is not too different from what it is today, over a hundred years later. It still serves the same purpose and we have come to accept it for what it is. We go there for knowledge, hopefully focused and with direction. A goal of graduation illuminates our path. The fact is, we have little choice but to re .....

Sartre And Homosexuality
.... being-in-itself, yet at the same time he would be aware that this was not, in fact, the case.
Another paradigm that we could use is the example of Ex-President Richard Nixon. Nixon’s infamous statement, "I am not a crook," is a nearly perfect example. By stating outright that he is not a crook, Nixon is actually telling the truth. He is saying that though it is true that he may have committed criminal acts, he is not a criminal. There is no deception about himself illustrated by his statement.
The fundamental opposition on which he builds his ontology (According to Webster, the philosophical study of the nature of being) i .....

The Treatment Of Women In Muslim Countries
.... own unique garments to accompany their ideas. The Hijab is an adjective meaning to cover the body and soul in English, and is often referred to when speaking about the Chador. The Chador is the piece of fabric that the Muslim women wear to cover their entire bodies from head to toe. However the Chador’s physical size may vary depending upon each countries ruling. Even underneath the Chador additional clothing must be worn; pants must be worn, no skirts are allowed. The more religiously conscious men require their female family member to wear gloves. Ironically the meaning of Chador is “tent” in English. The history of the behin .....

Interpersonal Skills
.... offered to all employees, in all areas of the bank. When managers have stronger interpersonal relationships, it seems that their employees hold a higher regard for them. Because good communication is such a valuable skill, it is just as important for employees as it is for managers to receive communication training.
Next, I will discuss my communication strengths and weaknesses. Interpersonal skills are one of my strengths when communicating with others. I am a very good listener, which is very important when communicating. I often check to make sure that I fully understand what the other person is saying to me. I do t .....

Ethical Values And The Classroom
.... high school should be proficient at a college entry level; able to read, express themselves eloquently in written and oral form, think critically, compute mathematics, have some first hand appreciation of the arts and a strong sense of values. The inadequate education California's students are presently receiving can be amended by personalized teaching, the teaching of ethical values, and a hands-on, inquiry based teaching of the basics.
To realize these educational goals for every student may seem like a pipe dream, but to try for anything less would be to sacrifice individual minds not just percentage points on a graph. It .....

What Is Sexual Harassment?
.... law says nothing about dating in the workplace if it is done in a reasonable and respectful manner with employee’s wishes. Dating in the workplace is not against the law if both people accept it.
Something else that is misleading people think that all is welcome as long as there is no physical contact with each other in the work place. That of course is not true. To be sexual harassed can stem from verbal to physical. In fact most sexual harassment cases are verbal and they are still offensive and intruding and illegal. (Morris 34/35)
Why do people sexually harass others? It all boils down to a misuse of power. Most ca .....

.... disturbance of learning ability, dissruption of a close parent child relationship, parents anger and emotion, negative self-image and possible adverse affects.
Ritchie& Ritchie(1981), Straus and Mather(1994) report that corporal punishment creates undesirable effects on education.

Experts in this field of study have stated that fear, anxiety, and pain interferes with the learning process. This reasearch staes that spanking can impede learning, reduce a child's memory, and reduce changes in their behavioral patterns(Ritch .....

Prostitution: A Victimless Crime?
.... safety and disease control. Would harsher laws end prostitution or result in a lot of persons getting their car impounded? Regardless as to what effects harsher laws will have on prostitution, new laws are still being tried out in several sates in America. Advocates for legalization say that harsher laws have to be enforced and that cost money. One Los Angeles official estimated that prostitution enforcement was costing the city more than 100 million dollars a year. Still the trend in America seems to lean toward legislation to crackdown on prostitution. Prostitution in this world is alive and well despite the fact that it .....

Creating A Fun Workplace Environment
.... is treated equally, because the littlest bit of bias or favoritism toward that person or group could cause internal employee morale and possible legal cases. Developing policies and procedures is the easiest way for companies to minimize their problems with discrimination.
Whenever possible, managers should try to challenge their employees. Employees who feel challenged are encouraged to learn more skills and apply the ones they already have. People liked to be challenged, but they don’t want to be surprised with other expectations than what they were told in the beginning. Employees should be paid for the work they are exp .....

How The Media Can Effect Children
.... can learn from it because parents are giving them the attention they need. “Forty years of research conclude that repeated exposure to high levels of media violence teaches some children and adolescents to settle interpersonal differences with violence, while teaching many more to be indifferent to this solution. Under the media’s tutelage, children at younger and younger ages are using violence as a first, not a last, resort to conflict,” (Levine, pg. 3). As a child grows, he/she always mimics what a parent does. When a child is learning to speak, the words that come out of the child’s mouth are usually similar to that of the .....

High School Graduates And Rights Denied

Casinos are a great money booster in some states. In Nevada all the touring comes from people who want to go to Las Vegas. They go to Las Vegas to gamble and see some Hollywood shows. Nevada is now the third richest state in the country. It is a lucrative business for the public and the private owners. So why not open casinos and gambling to a new market. High school graduates would be the ideal class. They are young, willing to blow their hard earned money, and have their whole lives still ahead of them to pay it off. More casinos would open since their would be a greater demand. Thus more jobs crea .....
