.... make it harder to buy a gun, but I do not think that will change anything in our society. The harder we make it for someone to get something, the harder they will try to get it without anyone knowing about it. People are always looking to put the blame off on other people or something other than themselves. If people would stop blaming movies and start trying to help their kids, our society will improve. But taking the easy way out seems to be the way society looks at everything, because they figure if they look the other way they cannot be blamed, when in all reality, t .....

.... are plenty of stereotypes, but I believe the one that is believed the most is what the stereotypical teenage "freak" is. Constantly people assume, just by looking at me, a lot of different things. I was surprised to find the number of people who just figured I was into drugs. I couldn't believe it. Apparently, because I choose to dress differently, I must be trashed all the time. However, such is not the case. Police assume we are trouble makers. I have been stopped countless times, sworn at, and threatened by arrest, for simply standing on a street corner or holding .....

.... By looking at both sides very carefully, both for and agaisnt animal testing can one make their own opinion on what they feel is right and wrong. Many will say that the use of animals for testing is both inhumane and should not be allowed as an effective way to test products such as cosmetics and laundry detergents for our homes. There are many reasons as to why the animal rights activists feel this way. For example, it is a proven fact that the animal testing that is done is very expensive, and a majority of the time they do not correlate the connection between t .....

.... Medicaid, requiring states to serve more people. They also increased the standards required of nursing homes. This led to higher nursing home costs which were passed directly back to the Medicaid program. The current average cost to care for a patient in a nursing home is nine times greater than that of a single dependent child. The price of medical care, in general, has drastically increased. Expensive new technology and procedures are a large part of this increase. The need for these costly new technologies is not expected to decrease, the cost will just be passed on to .....

.... taking its toll on the whole family; moreover the tension building was taking away from the real problem, my Grandfather. I thought long and hard, and I felt like the disappointment was beginning to bog me down. I made a vow to myself that no matter how bad thing would get I wouldn’t let the disappointment do to me, what it did to the rest of my family. I spent the next two days going to see my grandfather. I threw myself totally into deep thinking, mostly about all the good times we shared. I did not let the bad in this situation get to me. He passed away two more days later, .....

.... the Middle East countries long before Islamic religion was even introduced. Since the Muslim society ideology tremendously differ from modern Western thinking, the Muslims have developed their own unique garments to accompany their ideas. The Hijab is an adjective meaning to cover the body and soul in English, and is often referred to when speaking about the Chador.

Even underneath th .....

.... to them. The opinions of men and women can be in contrast to one another. Men tend to put their faith in a candidate who is solid and straightforward, while women seek a more compassionate candidate. In the 1996 presidential election, Bill Clinton focused part of his campaign on “soccer moms”. He stressed issues like women’s rights, child support, and sexual abuse and rape. The issues that Clinton raised were important to these mothers and they tended to cast their votes for him. The diversity in social classes presents a difference in needs and beliefs. A basic premi .....

.... a book to be trash, a student may the same book educational, and worth reading. Not only do the people reading the book lose freedom, but the writers lose the freedom to express what they are feeling. Some of the greatest pieces of writing have come from the heart, and if writers are worrying about how they are writing, then they won't be worried about what they are writing. Many books that are part of American society could be banned because of their content. If a book says a few curse words, then the school could say than it can't be read even if it teaches us an importan .....
