Animal Testing
.... in 1992, says; "There is no law that requires companies to test their personal care and household products on animals before selling them to consumers"
It is already known that there are ingredients that are perfectly safe for our skin. We know that making cosmetics does not require animal testing. It is done without animal testing. Many companies such as, Jane, Naturalistics, Origins, and Revlon do not test their products on animals. That these companies can make perfectly safe cosmetics without testing them on animals is proof enough that it need not be done.
One might argue we test animals for our own survival. A .....

It Feels It Just The Same: Animal Experimentation
.... cause any pain or distress to the animals being used in the experiment. Peter Singer’s “utilitarian”(Singer, pg. 79) view, weighs the pain and distress felt by the animals against the benefits derived from such tests. “. . . that because there is small benefit to science compared to the pain experienced by the animals, experiments should be severely restricted”(Singer, pg. 81). Because these animals can feel pain inflicted upon them during experiments, test should be as painless as possible. Animals can experience sensations as humans do. Tom Regan brings up an interesting point about animal rights. “. . . regardless of the .....

Preventing Chronic Delinquency: The Search For Childhood Risk Factors
.... practices, low socioeconomic status, and exposure to media violence.11
The most important of these factors appear to be low socioeconomic status, having parents who have been convicted of crimes, the child's low cognitive ability(especially poor verbal ability), poor parental child rearing, and the child's own history of antisocial behavior, conduct disorder, or troublesomeness.12 In one study of boys in London, for example, the 8- to 10-year-olds with four or more of these predictors included 15 of 23 future chronic offenders (the 23 were to be responsible for fully half of the convictions in the cohort of 411 youths).12 .....

Why Teens Are So Stressed Out
.... Most under-rested teens are angered very quickly. School work also leads to a lack of free time. If a teen is always working, he or she will have very little time to do anything else. This leaves desires unfulfilled and hobbies unpracticed. For example, if a teenage girl enjoys playing the piano but does not receive academic credits for playing, she then finds very little time to play after she has completed her required assignments. Then she has this love and talent inside her that is burning to be released, but she has no time to satisfy it. The schoolwork can also lead to mental strain. Teens have to remember not .....

"The Typical Abnormal Teen"
.... what is going on in his head.
Holden also uses colloquial speech instead of forming sentences with proper words and grammar. Many reviews of The Catcher in the Rye say Holden's words "accurately capture the informal speech of the average intelligent, educated, northeastern American adolescent". Most teenagers, today and when the book was written, use slang as a way to individualize themselves. It separates teenagers from adults and children.
The theme of materialism also gives insight to the average teenager. Many situations illustrate how absurd teenagers act over materialistic objects. This is particularly evident w .....

The Family Is A Social Institution
.... parents etc. The key word now is variety where multi-generation households are making a comeback.
My views on family and marriage have remained more or less the same since early childhood. Indian marriage as it stands today is a very old institution. To outsiders it seems strange if not outright absurd sometimes. To some degree it can be both of things however to a large extent it has preserved the ages due to its basic principles.
The matching of horoscopes is principally due to the fact that astrology is very much alive and well in India. A large number of people believe in it. Even to the relative unbeliever it ser .....

Teen Pregnancy
.... but the safest- to prevent pregnancy as well as some diseases that range from troublesome to deadly. Abstinence gives teens a better chance to develop into successful adults. In addition to what moral codes say about premarital sex, few would disagree that its simply not a good idea to experiment with something so powerful, which holds many consequences at an age when we as teens are emotionally and socially immature.
Despite all that, the truth and reality of that matter is teens are still going to have sex and become pregnant no matter what other people say or tell them.
The United States has the highest adolescent pre .....

The First Account Of Censorship
.... to be a racist by some his well know novels The word censor comes from the Latin censere, which means "to count," as well as "to assess" or "estimate." Censorship is the control of communication between people. It's the restriction of viewing material due to its content. Censorship takes place when a person looks at a material and decides that the material is not suitable for others to see. The person disregards the other person's right to be able to view the material and passes judgement on it. The educational value of the material is usually forgotten and the focus of the material is turned to its negative side.

The Urban Legends we tell have much to tell about us,like what prompts our fears, sparks our desires, vindicates our fustrations and trumpets our need for justice. Urban Legends are generated in two different ways. The first way is the deliberate manufacturation for the malicious enjoyment of it. People who misremember the details of a story that they hear .....

Juvenile Crime
.... of rapists, pedaphiles and others of their kin, ready to further pervert them and make them more efficient and darken their souls, or rape, sodomise and kill them for being the new arrivals.
We blame the gun, we blame society, we blame the parents of the child, who really deserves it? Who should the blame fall upon, and who should decide what happens to the juviniles? Should these children, the future of our nation, be left to rot in federal prisons to be perverted by the most massocistic and sociophatic minds in the country? Placed safely out of sight, away from the eyes of the general public, and out of harms way, where the .....
