Treating People Fairly Is A Right That Has Been Changed By Affirmative Action
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 2082.... is an individuals color, size, intellect, lifestyle, religion or ethnicity, he or she has the same rights as the next person.
Affirmative action was created 30 years ago for the cure of the underuse of minority and female and humane resources in the workplace. Affirmative action refers to active measures and passive non-discrimination as a means of increasing the recruitment of minorities and, ultimately, ensuring equal employment opportunity. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the most extensive ordinance on civil rights ever enacted in the United States, banning .....

Gender Roles
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 2038.... are a part of the
socialization process, the initiation given the young by society, teaching them
certain values and creating in them certain behavior patterns acceptable to
their social roles. These roles have been in a state of flux in American
society in recent years, and men and women today can be seen as having expanded
their roles in society, with women entering formerly male dominions and men
finding new ways to relate to and function in the family unit.
When I was growing up a woman was never heard of having a job other than
a school teacher or seamstress. Our(wom .....

A Review Of "The Outsiders Club" Screened On BBC 2 In October 96
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1834.... to disabled people
(which is not surprising since disabled people are often absent from mainstream
groups). Indeed, it is only in the last few years that disabled people
themselves have been in the forefront of this debate, and the leading
protagonist have usually been activists within the wider disability movement,
who are well aware of other social and sexual issues such as gender, sexism,
homophobia, and so on. The Outsiders was set up (and is still fronted by) an
able bodied woman who for many years has been well known in the controversial
arena of sexual liberation and sof .....

Animal Cruelty
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1084.... are often literally poisoned, their systems literally overloaded by
the substance in question. Another testing method is the Lethal Dose 50 percent
test or LD50. In this procedure at least half of the animals must die in order
for the government to figure out how much a human can ingest without dying.
In one such test some animals were fed 4. lb. of lipstick and one ended up
dying of intestinal obstruction. In another, 7 pints of melted eye shadow was
fed to rats. In yet another, mice were wrapped in tin foil and grilled in
ultraviolet light to test a sun block cream for a .....

Alienation Of Living Activity
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 920.... their bodies for money. They exchange the creative content of their lives, their practical daily activity, for money.
As soon as men accept money as an equivalent for life, the sale of living activity becomes a condition for their physical and social survival. Life is exchanged for survival. Creation and production come to mean sold activity. A man's activity is 'productive,' useful to society, only when it is sold activity. And the man himself is a productive member of society only if the activities of his daily life are sold activities. As soon as people accept the terms of t .....

Shopping In America
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 869.... and much money. Second, Americans love convenience and,
except during the crush of major holidays, malls offer plenty of convenient
parking. A happy, enormous island of commerce in a sea of asphalt, the mall
offers plenty of docking points — usually next to major commercial outlets —
for cars that circle in search of the closest slot and an easy entrance.
Third, the mall offers an extraordinary variety of products under
its one gigantic roof. Specialty stores and boutiques offer items that
people don't realize they need until they're put under the spell of
brightly lighted, b .....

Put The Homeless To Work
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1216.... or even some left over food. Others hang around 7-11 stores or any
grocery stores and supermarkets. Some are out there to clean your car or
just your windshield so they could get something in return for their
efforts even though they only get your car more dirty.
As I said before, most of the homeless that we have today put up
signs that say "will work for food." Most of them really want to work in
order to get some money for food and stay alive. So, why don't we give it
to them. We have a hard time keeping San Diego clean so maybe it's time
to get some a .....

Pollution And Its Consequences
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1883.... earth can be corporations are not doing enough for the environment. Belching chimneys, strong detergents, smoking incinerators, exhaust fumes from automobiles are the cancer of modern society. Poisoned 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 polluta .....
