Girls And Boys Gender Bias

Gender Bias in Math and Engineering; What is being
done? As a woman, mother, and, future teacher, I
am worried about the future of young girls. Female
students consistently score lower then boys on
standardized tests and take fewer advanced math
courses. Some schools have implemented single-sex
classrooms to ensure that girls receive the
attention and modified instruction that they
sometimes need. Others have chosen to modify
already existing programs. Still others, have done
nothing. This probl...

in him that attracts the audience. Ralph serves as
the protagonist of the story. He is described as

Save The World Definition Of Justice
1,422 words
On Beauty in a State I once heard the comment
beauty can save the world. This struck me as
whimsical because I had always thought of beauty
as pleasing and enjoyable and thats about it. But
then I read Plato's Republic. His thoughts on
beauty gave me new things to consider. To Plato,
the presence of beauty in a state is the measure
of the most important qualities of the state,
primarily justice. In our day, beauty is often
synonymous with such words as loveliness,
attractiveness, charm, splendor...

Human Beings Animal Nature
1,096 words
In the Elizabethan times, there was a common
belief that all beings belonged to a structure
called the Great Chain of Beings. At the top of
the chain was God, who was the absolute symbol of
perfection, followed by angels which had reason,
human beings, and then animals, that were full of
passion. It was believed that the human being was
a mixture of both the angel and the animal, thus
there was conflict between these two halves of a
human being. The angel was representative of all
that was right...

Political Campaigns Political Parties
1,190 words
Ever since I have use of my memory, I do not like
politics and the voting process at all. It is
because politicians have turned politics and
voting into a moral quandary, since you do not
know if your vote is to support the improvement of
your country or just to put the destiny of the
nation into the hand of corrupt people. It is the
way political parties and their members try to
take control of the power of a nation that makes
me sick. Today, the race for a political seat is a
battle that has n...

elected by the entire nation, therefore government
is kept near to the people. The people have the
right to choose and judge who they will and will

Racing, Feeling Life In The Fast Lane Automobile
Racing is considered a sport, but to me, it has
ten times more excitement, unpredictability, and
amazement than any activity that I have
participated in. This passion originates when
drivers race specially designed automobiles over
tracks or courses of differing lengths, designs,
and constructions. It tests the skills of the
drivers, the speed capabilities of the vehicles,
and the endurance of both. Automobile racing,
