... to get higher wages. Another problem in the society is violence. Today, there are many violence in the streets, some schools, and also in the media. These violence in the streets can cause the neighbourhood to become a bad place to live. This will cause people not to go there or move in there because of these violence.

... the world within seconds. Such as the O.J. Simpson trial, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the wars taking place in the Middle East. Through TV we can be warned about almost anything from a hurricane approaching to the fact that the stock market is falling. The television in today's society has become one of our most basic resources for information.

Our American society has designed its lifestyle around the convenience of the TV and the fact that it is so easily accessible. The television has other purposes besides convenience. It is a g ...
... the false thinking that the Japanese market is a closed one. Many Americans seem to feel that if the Japanese market is not like the US market, then it must be unfair.

When the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Spanish and the British went out around the world creating colonies, Japan was hardly touched. We need to keep in mi ...
... individuals, who hardly express their individuality at all. Far from increasing individuality, capitalism standardizes it and so restricts it - that it survives at all is more an expression of the strength of humanity than any benefits of the capitalist system. This impoverishment of individuality is hardly surprising in a society based on hierarchical institutions which are designed to assure obedience and subordination. So, can we say that libertarian socialism will increase individuality or is this conformity and lack of "individualism" a constant feature of the human race? In order to make some sort of statement on this, we have to look at non-hierarchical societies and organisa ...

... the knowledge of the Baron. Women didn’t know anything about money or about the sciences. Cunègonde, was so fascinated by the sciences that she would hide in the bushes to listen to Pangloss teach a private lesson to her mother’s maid. The Baroness’s who were wealthy, were viewed primarily as hostesses. The reason why the Baroness’s were liked so much was because their husbands had beautifully decorated castles. This was the case for the Baroness of Thunder-ten-tronckh. “ The Baron was one of the most powerful lords in Westphalia because his castle had a gate and window” (pg. 41). His castle and everything in it and outside was perfect. “ The Baroness, who weighed around three ...

They believe that a parent of a different race is not as equipped to educate a child about issues of their racial identity(McNair 1). They do not realize putting a child through years of moving from foster home to foster home would damage them because they would h ...
... cases the police departments retain the records, while in others the fingerprint cards are turned over to the parents for safekeeping. The apparent purpose of the program is to help provide positive identification to link either children picked up, or bodies recovered, with missing person notices. Every year about 1 million children are reported missing. Of these most, about 800,000, are away from home for less than two weeks.

According to an article in Parade, "about 35 percent of runaways leave home ...

For example if a person does three years in prison, and comes out they should have learned a lot. They will now be more aware of how they are carrying themselves on a daily. They will have come from a side of life where freedom was robbed from them so in fact, they will appreciate life more and be more patient about things. It is all about how you carry yourself through life, not how much yo ...
