Multicultural Education
.... the 1980 record of fourteen million. Most people, from educators to philosophers, agree that an important first step in successfully joining multiple cultures is to develop an understanding of each others background. However, the similarities stop there. One problem is in defining the term "multiculturalism". When it is looked at simply as meaning the existence of a culturally integrated society, many people have no problems. However, when you go beyond that and try to suggest a different way of arriving at that culturally integrated society, Everyone seems to have a different opinion on what will work. Since educati .....

Effects Of TV On Children
.... eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or reading a book could also be fun. They could actually become dependent on this one source of fantasy, and never bother to create their own. As the child grows older, it is less likely to put effort into playing with other kids, or taking up a hobby.
While losing creativity, the child can also gain impatience. By having all the stories and facts plastered clear in front of them, they can easily loose interest sitting in a classroom all day. Even during t .....

Problems With Racism
.... and degrading. Some of the biggest racists are those who think that they are not racist and really are.
Why are these people some of the biggest racists? It is because they cannot comprehend what is happening and do not realize what they are saying is racist. Until they come to grips with this problem, in their minds, their is no problem. They say that they are not racist, even when they don’t hire the East Indian employee who was the most qualified of the candidates, even when the athletic team they coach consists of all white athletes. Oftentimes these people feel that just because a person is a certain color or race, .....

Gangs
.... things that are strongly against their morals.
One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of television watched by children are educational, so other ideas are being absorbed during this period of time. Many shows on television today are extremely violent and are often shown this from a gang's perspective. A normal adult can see that th .....

Definition Essay Of Multiculturalism
.... and doesn‘t try to influence them one way or another. Society by definition means people as a whole not as individual groups. “As more and more people begin to regard loyalty to group as more important than loyalty to country, we get a chilling preview of what the United States might be like if each of us maintains our own culture, if we reject mainstreaming and assimilation, and if in fact there is no mainstream.“1
Multiculturalism can cause racism. Racism is the idea that one‘s race determines one‘s identity. It is the belief that one‘s values, ideals, and morals are determined not by the judgement of one‘s mind bu .....

Realism, Globalism, Pluralism
.... far more than military movement. Likewise, independent actors such as multinational corporations are not dismissed as insignificant to the global perspective. The political schedule of the pluralist includes exercises in coalition and maintains a "soft shell" approach to motion between national borders. In contrast, the globalist"s agenda is based primarily on fiscal polity. Capitalism is taken as the first mover of global politics with a relevant historical process. Their political slate is pervaded by the underlying assumption that matters of international politics stem from an economic substructure that champions the curre .....

Racism By Police Officers
.... women on the force and don’t believe that they can perform the job as well as men can. This makes it harder on women who want to become police officers. Police also harass teenagers the same way they do blacks and other minorities. Police often take advantage of younger people by doing illegal procedures to get the kids in trouble. Younger people don’t know their rights as well as older people do, and the police use this to their own advantage.
What effect do these prejudices have on society and their view of the police force? When police abuse their power and harass people for racist reasons, it makes people feel that they c .....

Child Abuse; A Social Problem
.... you scream involuntarily. His grip tightens as he places his hand over your mouth. “We’ll have to do this the hard way!” comes his intense whisper. You flail your arms at him, but it doesn’t help. His writhing massive body is on top of yours, and you feel so powerless. Eventually, you sink into a sobbing heap and simply wait for his passions to stop. You wait for the nightmare to end. When he is done, you limp to the laundry room and try fruitlessly to get the blood stains out of your clothes. It is all your fault...

Adolescent Egocentrism
.... nothing was going to happen to them. Maybe nothing will, but still they believe that there isn’t even the chance even though it happened before. Drawing on my adolescence, I can remember thinking like that also.
The second example relates to the latter. I mentioned that all the other kids were going to the party and drinking and the other eight teens were going to hang out at the house, watch movies and have fun. They all made such a huge deal that they were a different group and they were not going with the flow. They all kept saying “We are the cool ones.” They also kept putting down and making fun of their other classmat .....

Virtues That Change Society In The Future
.... some associate temperance with eating and drinking, but this was not Franklin's intention. "Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head, which is so necessary where constant vigilance was to be kept up, and guard maintained against the unremitting attraction of ancient habits, and the force of perpetual temptations."(Perkins, pg322) This is the most important of the list of virtues. My interpretation of this is that one should always keep a cool head no matter the situation. An example is the way that Hemingway portrays his characters in his novels, and short stories. In Hemingway's stories th .....

Affirmative Action
.... to divide this nation or the very opposite.
My goal for this term paper is to assemble some of the viewpoints both for and against as well as other alternatives. To look at the history and the present to form an opinion whether Affirmative action is really working and is compliant with this modern society.
HISTORY OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
The government called for affirmative action the first time in 1961 when President John Kennedy issued executive order #10925. Its mission was to end discrimination in employment by the government and its contractors. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 broadened the application by .....
