Human Aggression
.... aggression, it must be driven by an instinct interacting with that person's surroundings. McDougall defines the word instinct as “an inherited or innate psycho-physical disposition which determines its possessor to perceive, and to pay attention to, objects of a certain class, to experience an emotional excitement of a particular quality upon perceiving such an object, and to act in regard to its particular manner, or, at least, to experience an impulse to such action.” This definition basically explains that people have different reactions for different stimuli. Therefore, an individual is prone to act a certain way when .....

Role Of Women In The Developing Countries
.... hard to be implemented, especially in poorly educated areas. In America, although women also have "double burdenˇ±, which means that women now work "in factory, shop or office as well as in the home as cook, cleaner, child rearer, shopper and homemakerˇ± (Hall 21), they don't think the family is the most important thing. To realize their dreams is the answer. Today, there are various housework training courses popular with American men. Men are obliged to share the housework.
There are also differences regarding women's roles outside their houses. Firstly, women in the poor countries have to bear stronger physical intensity, w .....

Divorce And Children
.... even if the other person isn’t doing any intentional or tangible harm.
Divorce is almost never a happy thing. The emotional experiences that come after it can be complex and devastating for the entire family. It can have very powerful after-effects on the adults who have just broken up. You can usually tell if an adult is hurting after a divorce if they show any of these symptoms: sarcasm, where if someone were to mention their ex-spouse, they would tend to be sarcastic or take potshots at the ex-spouse. They might say things such as "All men leave their wives the minute they turn forty" or "All women are after my money." .....

Censorship On Televison
.... material. Censors were instituted to tell the general population what should and should not be viewed and thus began this
travesty. Government organizations, such as the FCC, routinely and systematically subjugate and suppress the freedoms that we have to express ourselves as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Censors edit radio broadcasts, discriminately place “black-bars” over televised images, and even try to refine works of literature and art so that they meet "acceptable standards.”
As US citizens, we should be appalled that such practices are allowed. Not only are we deprived of rights, but we are subjec .....

India's Hunger Problem
.... acts may have been committed out of revenge or hatred. But they contributed to India's problem today. Majorly the widespread cause of poverty in India led to its famine problem. Roughly 200 million people, half the population lived below the poverty line at independence. After twenty-five years of independence the number below poverty increased to 300 million and over. The nation is simply just poverty-stricken and there is high unemployment in most areas. In the village of Ghosrawan, many of its residents must catch and eat rats to survive. The small towns are "dirty, there is unclean water to drink and many simply can't af .....

Child Abuse
.... not submitted within 24 hours, so they couldn't do anything. We had another case that we reported just two weeks ago to Child Protective Services. Another five- year old was involved. The teacher noticed a bite mark on his cheek. She asked him what happened, and he responded "my dad bit me." The teacher asked him if his dad was mad when he bit him and he said he was very mad. We reported this to CPS, but were told they couldn't do anything because the skin was not broken. These instances really make me question the system we rely on to protect our children. The question is are we doing enough to protect our children? I feel that no .....

Constructivism
.... construction. Trowbridge (1996) relates this general view of constructivism to teaching by adding that constructivism is a model of teaching in which students construct knowledge by interpreting new experiences in the context of prior knowledge, experiences, episodes and images. Thus, as suggested by Kelly (1995),a constructivist approach to learning does not view learning as the transfer of knowledge to the learner, but rather an active construction of knowledge by the learner. For these reasons it can be concluded that constructivism encompasses ‘the learner’ who constructs his or her knowledge on the basis of knowledge al .....

How The Availability Of The Weapons With Fire Can Affect The Rates Of Crime Of Violence?
.... they will involve serious wounds and deaths ".
Another reason for which the weapons with fire perhaps facilitate the perpetration of the crimes of violence is that they constitute an impersonal means and " clean " to cause an injury with another person while being held with a certain distance, in the case of too delicate people to cut the arteries of somebody with a sharp instrument or to fracture cranium of somebody with a heavy blunt instrument (Kleck and McElrath, 1991). In addition, these same authors announce as the presence of weapons with fire can prevent that attacks are not made, because they are regarded as dangerous .....

Pollution And Its Consequences
.... by carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide is the air we breathe. Our rivers are filled up with industrial waste, trash and broken bottles, and stained with oil. Each and every year the pollution of the air and water takes its toll, causing diseases, and shortening lives. The economic cost annually is several billion dollars.
Perhaps this sounds easy that, the huge pollutants corporations are, they'd be willing to sacrifice a little bit but the almighty dollar is much too much for them, as evidenced by this. In 1991, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in Los Angeles adopted a rule requiring al .....

Women In The Military
.... the 152-year-old military school located in South Carolina as a "knob," or a first year cadet. Upon her arrival, the military made exceptions to certain rules for her, one being that older male cadets could not go through her drawers looking for underwear that was not folded properly. A private bathroom with surveillance cameras was also constructed for Faulkner to prevent any foul play (Sack 6). The second of these two women was Shannon Workman. In 1994, she became the first woman to qualify as a female pilot who was combat ready in the Navy (Schmitt 15). Although the military and the public recognize women like Faulkner and Wo .....
