Controversial Issues Papers Articles
11: African Americans VS Caucasian Americans
At first glance some people might consider this paper to be on the racial side, however it was all written by observations made. There are many differences between African Americans and Caucasians, some people don't see the differences because of ignorance . You must read the paper with an open mind and take none of this to heart.
12: A time of prosperous change
A Time of Prosperous Change
In the early nineteen hundreds when women used to be treated as objects who were only good for cooking and cleaning. These women were expected to stay home and do nothing but take care of the children. Authors were rarely women .Now in the present day a women is thought of as having a mind of her own. She is thought of as a independent, an individual who has a peace of mind of her own who is allowed to work and make a living as she pleases. Even we don't think of Weldon every time someone mentions a popular contemporary author we know she deserves to be mentioned. Both in the Critical Survey of Long Fiction and in Love and Marriage in the Novels of Anita Brookner and Fay Weldon Weldon is mentioned with great honor and respect. Anna Ericson uses more past situations in Fay Weldon's own life while contrasting her to Anita Brookner while in contrast the Critical Survey of Long Fiction criticizes the works without much comparison to others. Both the Magill and Anna Ericson have strong points on a women's individualism but Anna Ericson proves Weldon's choice of personality for the main character was one reflecting Weldon's own thoughts and morals.
13: Domestic abuse
Found at the scene of the crime two dead bodies stabbed brutally, and left to die at their house. This was the story that shocked the country in 1991. This was the start of the O.J. Simpson domestic abuse case that is still going on today. Unfortunately events like this happen many times over everyday in many setting all over the United states; however the victims of the other cases don't get nearly as much publicity.
14: America and Affirmative Action
Affirmative action has been the subject of increasing debate and tension in
American society. However, the debate over affirmative action has become ensnared in
rhetoric that pits equality of opportunity against the equality of results. The debate has
been more emotional than intellectual, and has generated more tension than shed light on
the issue. Participants in the debate have over examined the ethical and moral issues that
affirmative action raises while forgetting to scrutinize the system that has created the
need for them. Too often, affirmative action is looked upon as the panacea for a nation
once ill with, but now cured of, the virulent disease of racial discrimination. Affirmative
action is, and should be seen as, a temporary, partial, and perhaps even flawed remedy
for past and continuing discrimination against historically marginalized and
disenfranchised groups in American society. Working as it should, it affords groups
greater equality of opportunity in a social context marked by substantial inequalities and
structural forces that impede a fair assessment of their capabilities.
15: Affirmitive Action
Affirmative action policies do not benefit those who are supposed to be
helped in any way. Instead of Affirmative action decisions in their favor,
minorities and females are entrenched in their status because of the lowering of
standards and expectations imposed on them by businesses and educational
institutions due to the cries of racism and sexism in standards by advocates of
AA. Ernest Van Den Haag put it best, when he declares that. " Affirmative action
has done as much injury to black scholars as to black students." Isn't it time to
return to hiring people on individual merit, and return the millions spent on
Affirmative action.
16: A Comparison of the Status of Women in Classical Athens and E
Since the beginning of time the treatment of women has improved dramatically. In the earliest of times women were mere slaves to men. Today women are near equals in almost all fields. In 411 B.C., when Lysistrata was written, men had many stunning advantages to that of their female counterparts. Although women's rights between 30 and 100 A.D., the time of the New Testament, were still not what they are today, the treatment of women was far better. Overall, the equality of women in the New Testament exceeds that of the women in Lysistrata in three major ways: physical mobility, society's view of women's nature, and women's public legal rights.
17: anxiety and depression in africanamericans
A major cause of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety in individuals is stress. Defined stress is an internal response caused by the application of a stressor or anything that requires coping behaviour. For example the pressure of a job, supporting a family or getting an education are stressors that can result in depression and anxiety. Individuals and groups that have numerous resources or other coping mechanisms are better suited for coping with stress than are those who lack such resources. As a result, social and economic circumstances in North America suggest that the black and Latino communities have a higher risk for developing mental disorders than does the non-black make up of the United States. Hence this paper will attempt to demonstrate how due to socio-economic differences such as money, racism and increased exposure to violence, blacks have a greater chance to develop mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
18: African and Native American Slavery
African and Native American Slavery
The 1500's, a time of discovery, was when the
Europeans came to dominate most of the New World. The
Europeans traveled to Africa and captured Africans to help
develop their land and satisfy their need for power. I feel
that the treatment of the Indians and Africans by the
Europeans was completely unjustifiable. While the Indians
and Africans were less technologically advanced and the
Europeans were uneducated, in this particular field, nothing
can compensate for the actions of the Europeans.
19: 12 Angry Men
A persons surroundings can influence him. In "12 Angry Men" by Reginald Rose a young mans
life is held by twelve men with contrasing views. Eight a caring man, who wishes to talk about why the
other jurors think that the boy is guilty, clashes with Three, a sadistic man who would pull the swith
himselfto end the boys life. Accroding to Rose, several elements can infulence a jury's verdict, such as the
emotional make-up of individual jurors.
20: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Found at the scene of the crime two dead bodies stabbed brutally, and left to die at their house. This was the story that shocked the country in 1991. This was the start of the O.J. Simpson domestic abuse case that is still going on today. Unfortunately events like this happen many times over everyday in many setting all over the United states; however the victims of the other cases don't get nearly as much publicity.
