Binge Drinking On Americas Cam
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2512.... small, just as they are both urban and rural.
At the same time America has managed to keep the same percentage of its students from drinking entirely for the last five years, binge drinking has been on the rise (Thompson, J.J. 63). While 49 percent of college students binge, only 28 percent of their non-college counterparts do (McCormick, John; Kalb, Claudia 89), clearly illustrating the divide that exists between students and non-students. These figures are upsetting in that one would expect universities to be the breeding ground for new leaders and innovative thinkers in soc .....

While this may sound like a great format, some may question its legality. Any music CD can be used to create MP3s, even commercial ones. While some users download these copyrighted songs from the Internet, which are very easy to find, the act is illegal. However, there are many bands that release their music online for publicity, w .....

Commercial Effectiveness
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2464.... is "an advertisement on television or radio"(Dictionary 175). One commercial only lasts an average of thirty seconds and, if run in a good time slot, costs anywhere from fifty-five to one hundred thousand dollars (Baldwin 2). To think that a thirty second commercial can cost one hundred thousand dollars is outrageous. If it costs that much money for so little time then what is the logic behind airing commercials on television instead of placing an ad in the newspaper or dictating an advertisement on the radio?
Originally, commercials began on the radio simply becaus .....

Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 656.... achieve their career goals. Another aspect to consider when choosing a college is one's financial situation. When choosing a college, many students seek out financial help such as grants, loans, or scholarships. The amount of grants, loans, or scholarships received from different schools can greatly influence one's decision on where to attend.

Relay Races
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 897.... The downsweep consists of the runner moving their arm downward into the outstretched palm of the receiver.
The elementary outside change is one of the basic forms of baton passing. The initial runner carries the baton in the left hand and runs the outside half of the lane. In an upsweep motion, they pass the baton to the 'V' created by the receiver's thumb and forefinger. The receiver stands on the inside half of the lane and is turned looking back over their right shoulder. The receiver has their left foot forward and is a modified crouch stance. Immediately after the bat .....

Censorship In Mass Media
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1020.... In a world where most countries are free
to do as they please, conesorship in the media is like the modern day "double speak" of the
book 1984, limiting the thoughts of the people who are forced to conform with their society.
4Who is to deem what should and should not be viewed by the "free" citizens of the united
states? Each day in every aspect of life, censors suppress and restrain the thoughts of the
people. All people born in the united states have the "natural right" to speak as they choose
as well as to watch whatever they want. The forefathers of this coun .....
