Rape Victims Pro Choice
769 wordsAbortion is it right or is it cold blood murder? Abortion poses as a challenge in choices you make that can affect the rest of your life. There are many points of view toward abortion but the only two fine distinctions are "pro-choice" and "pro-life." A person who supports pro-choice feels that the decision to have an abortion is the choice of the mother and the economy has no right to judge this decision as murder. A person who supports pro-life feels that from the moment of conception, the emb...

Blue Jeans Pop Culture

After deliberating among several distinguishing items of pop culture that have affected my life, I settled on one of particular significance in American pop culture. The invention of blue jeans greatly preceded my birth and is a pivotal piece of history for women and fashion. Whereas jeans were once clothing for workers and a status symbol of physical labor, they now adorn the most beaut...

Eight Teen Years Manette His Real Bastille
487 wordsAll people are shaped by some past or present influence. In A Tale of Two Cities Dickens uses great detail to show how the past has significantly shaped one central figure, Dr. Manette.

Ignorance And Apathy Teen Suicide Teenagers
553 wordsThe truth of the matter is, is that being a teenager is hard, right from the beginning, and it doesn't get any easier. We are such easy prey for big name companies who advertise using the pressure of popularity, looks and sex to force us to buy their product that, as it turns out, we never wanted or needed in the first place.

Sex Education Programs Declaration Of Independence
758 wordsThe liberal philosophy is the one I agree with the most. Liberals believe that the federal government should protect individual liberties and promote the general welfare.

Backstreet Boys Boy Band
830 wordsToday's current music scene has steadily become filled with pre-packaged assembly line bands and singers. This teen oriented pop phenomenon is repulsive. I see the so-called bands and singers for what they really are. They are passing trends made special, just for the teens, with all image and no real talent. For their own good, I can only hope these brainwashed teens will grow out of this horrible phase. Fabricated bands such as O-Town, N Sync, and The Backstreet Boys exhibit a minimum level of...

Women And Girls Physical Attractiveness
641 wordsI should start by saying that advertisers often emphasize sexuality and the importance of physical attractiveness in an attempt to sell products, but researchers are concerned that this places undue pressure on women and men to focus on their appearance. In recent survey by Teen People magazine, 27 % of the girls felt that the media pressures them to have a perfect body, and a poll conducted in 1996 by the international ad agency Saatchi and Saatchi found that ads made women fear being unattract...
