Violence In Television Programs
.... "good-guy" characters commit aggression, consequences of violence are unseen, and aggression goes unpunished or seems justified. For example, one cartoon featured four heroes who used their superior strength to beat up villains who were trying to freeze the world. The villains escape unscathed. The heroes congratulated each other. Young children are unable to distinguish the difference between what is reality and what is fantasy. Thus, the children saw attractive perpetrators of aggression use violence that seemed justified on victims who suffered minimal consequences, with the aggressors showing no remorse in the process. .....

Drug Testing For School Extracurricular Activities
.... means that the fourth amendment completely applies to a student.
The fourth amendment declares that the school cannot search a person or seize his/her property without reasonable cause. Each individual has these rights. This means that if some students are suspected of using drugs, the school does not have the right to search all students. So, if a coach believes he/she saw you using drugs or had “an oath or affirmation” (4th amendment) from an outside source, he/she has the right to search/test you. It is unconstitutional if a coach heard that some of his/her players are using drugs, and he/she searches all members of the te .....

Divorce
.... because the man was the "guilty" spouse and the guilty spouse could not receive alimony. Today Judges realize that woman have qualifications for well paying jobs and do not need to be supported fully by their ex-husbands. They can also file for no-fault divorces. No-fault divorce is when neither side is labeled guilty. Some people oppose no-fault divorces because they believe such divorces can be obtained too easily. They feel couples can end their marriage without there being a real good reason, and that the couples should consult a marriage counselor. The divorce process is easier under the no-fault laws then the fault la .....

The Women Of The Nineties
.... every child in the daycare center the love and attention that one of their parents can give them.
One of the things people do or are supposed to do when they have a baby is make sacrifices. Many women today are too selfish. They want it all: a husband, a child, and a career. It is too hard to balance all of these things and usually the child ends up suffering for it.
There is no reason why a woman can not put her career on hold to raise her children. When her children are in school then she can pursue a career. She is not losing anything by putting her career on hold. If anything she is gaining. Being a mother is a p .....

Tobacco Advertising Makes Young People Their Chief Target
.... as know Mickey Mouse (Breo). That is very shocking information for any parent to hear.
The industry denies that these symbols target people under 21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching and loyalty. Many people disagree with this statement such as Illinois Rep. Richard Durbin who states " If we can reduce the number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know it "(Roberts). So what do the tobacco companies do to keep their industry alive and well? Seemingly, they go toward a market that is not fully aware of the harm that cigarettes are capable of.

The Beat Poets And Movement
.... houses, jazz clubs, large public auditoriums and even athletic stadiums. Poetry is more popular and more read than anytime in history, not only spoken poetry but also sung poetry of a high order. "The literature, coordinated by pop music, with a way of dressing, with a way of life, it something that has influenced the youth of the world not only in Western countries but Eastern countries as well. (www.charm.net)"
Music has been influenced greatly by Beat writing. The lyrics of many great songs have forever been changed by the writing of the Beat Generation. "Bob Dylan's favorite poet was Allen Ginsberg. Ginsberg .....

Impact Of Television On Society
.... which are typically more expensive than programs. One of the gigantic swindles carried out on the public today is that commercial television is free. In fact consumers pay for the programming through higher prices for the goods they purchase. Many television series are themselves advertisments for wealth, luxury,fashion, and high consumption lifestyles. It is often stated that commercial television has two purposes-to entertain a mindless audience, and to create a marketing channel through advertisments in which to sell products and services to this mindless audience. Through these two functions in combination the sellers net .....

Women In Math And Science
.... over collaboration (Taylor and Sweetnam). So what do the teachers who positively influence young women do that is so different it completely changes women's view about science? In a study of eighty women who became science teachers, they were asked about the teachers they remember and the most influential reasons those teachers made a difference. The three main responses were: "activity-based instructional techniques, instructor relationships, and knowledge and appreciation of science content" (Taylor and Sweetnam). Women remembered classes that had a hands-on style of teaching. Their teachers would allow them to do exper .....

School's Role In Our Life
.... for the education you get is expensive, but many people have to pay even more. Many cities do not have colleges, so students who want to get a higher education have to move away to another city where they will be provided the education they need. This often involves paying for an apartment and for food, and sometimes for the bus , which is not, unlike high school, free. As you can see, college is a lot more expensive than high school.
However, the cost is not the only think to consider when comparing high school and college, the relation between teachers and students are also different. At high school, they see their stude .....

Interracial Children
.... can make growing up especially hard for children. In the past children were identified by the parent of color. If one parent were black, then the child's race was black also. But if the child were able to pass as white then he was considered to be white (Wardle 2). This eliminated a lot of problems for biracial, because children they were not expected to give an explanation for their race. Eventually this system no longer worked because the number of single mothers began to increase, making it hard to be sure of the father's race. Now many parents are trying to teach their children it is okay to be biracial.

Television Violence In The United States
.... is believed that people learn by imitating what they see, and children are particularly receptive to such learning (Freedman 96). Based on the research I've done I feel children model things they see and learn their aggressions from family members and from television. Therefore TV violence is a cause of aggressive behavior.
Television and movie violence refers to the act of rape, abuse, assault, injury and murder depicted on television and in movies. Some people are against television violence, suggesting that TV violence cause aggressive behavior. Other people suggest that television violence does not cause people to act aggre .....

Ethics And Advertising
.... when the information given are exaggerations or downright lies?
Advertisers should also provide the greatest good to the most people, not just the greatest number of products sold to the most people. With this in mind, I’d like to discuss a few of the more abundant methods advertisers employ in order to deceive potential consumers and emphasize the features of their products. One of them is the appeal to an authority. This is clearly seen when companies use celebrities to sell their products, such as Michael Jordan selling phone services. The underlying message here is that people who use this service or buy this product wi .....
