One Thing First Thing

Lately I have been reading the teen magazines YM
and Seventeen and Ive noticed one thing; they
really annoy me. I feel like they are just for
preps and the trend oid freaks. Well what about
the other groups? The gangsters, punks, skaters,
bikers, or whatever. They should really give
recognition to the other people in our society.
Maybe they want just the good teenagers around.
They are not going to get what they want. Maybe
they think if they print stuff up all about preps
and trends everyone wi...

Exploring Sexuality in Taming of the Shrew Andrea
Blacksten Shakespeare Plays Professor Christopher
Human sexuality underlies many of the happenings
of Taming of the Shrew. It affects the conflicts,
theme, and resolution of the play. It becomes
evident throughout the play that sexual behavior
denotes whether a character is thought of as good
or evil (not necessarily good evil as meant in
conventional terms, but rather as a nice character
versus a waspish or mean character). In the
beginning of t...

Voter Turnout Representative Democracy
1,070 words
Do we really have a democracy? Well, society is
too large to have direct democracy. Even
representative democracy is hard to achieve on
such a large scale. Look at the voter turnout in
the United States. It is lower than ever. If
ordinary citizens arent making policy who is? One
answer is the Elite Theory. The Elite Theory is a
theory that states that the elite of society
controls public policy. If the Elite Theory were
correct it would consist of two parts. The first
part would be an uninterest...

Sit Quietly Dover Beach
345 words
Hecht's parody Dover Bitch is a mockery of
Victorian values shown in Dover Beach, as well as
those of his own period. Hecht candidly
exaggerates the speech, ideas and symbols in Dover
Beach... The first evidence of Hecht's mockery is
of speech at the beginning when he writes There
stood Matthew Arnold and his girl All over, etc. ,
etc... He take the soft calming words of Arnold
and gives them a harsh New Jersey accent. His
representation of an educated woman sets the
reader up to think that the ...

Influence? Why is it that the people who influence
us most influence us in ways that are not easily
quantified? Through her work with abused children,
my mother has shown me the heroism of selfless

Pg 20 Cultures People

Often people turn to a particular religion in
response to the most confusing question of where
we came from and who put us here. Some form of
religion can be found in every culture throughout
the world. Because the question of our origin is a
universal uncertainty, its no wonder that
throughout the countless number of religions,
there are always some common bonds. Many times
religions from different cultures will share

History Of Time Quantum Physics

That clear then? Did you buy Stephen Hawkings
latest book, The Universe in a Nutshell, in the

Traditional Roles Young Girls

IT S HARDER TO GROW UP FEMALE In a society where
women are taking on many of the traditional roles
as breadwinners, stabilizers of families, and high
competitors in the job market, it is uncanny to
propose that women still are not equal. Women do
not receive as many opportunities as men do. By
simply looking at the lives of young girls and
adolescents, the truth becomes all the more
apparent. Women are still struggling to survive in
a male dominate world. While young children sit
