Answer America's Call

... and sophistication that go with it. So long M-16, hello IBM, satellites, and laser technology. Earlier generations had no idea of what electronics could provide. The strongest country in the world was the one with the most men. Then came guns, then nuclear weapons, and finally computers. No longer do we need to send most of our country's men off to fight. Rather we can just sit some of them down on a computer and do just as much damage. With computers and the viruses that go with them, people can destroy the economies of whole coun ...

Utopian Societies-The Impossible Dream

... areas due to different ideas and beliefs by people that would live in this society. These areas could be government, religion, economy, as well as personal freedoms and choices.

Creating A Culture Of Peace

... culture. They believe that it is just a far- fetched dream. However, if one were to take this idea of peace being something we can never attain, then there is another way of looking at the subject. Peace is obviously something we can have that will satisfy everyone, but it is something that we can always work on and improve. The ways in which we can improve our culture can be much easier to understand when we break down everyone’s definition of peace into separate points. By doing this we can specifically improve each aspect and in th ...

The Need For An Official Language

Controversy In Calvin Klein Advertisements

... sexual. Commercials for some shampoos and conditioners tend to be sexier than some commercials for clothing.

Instead all you hear are moans and groans coming from the back of the plane, insinuating something other than what is really going on, but there have not been any complaints about this ad, especially wh ...

Women In South Asia

... to send over his brother's crime to his wife. He said that he could get another wife, but since he has only one brother, his wife should sacrifice for his brother. I think Chhidam's idea was socially and morally wrong. Chhidam's wife had to die without any crime. Chhidam's wrong traditional thought killed an innocent woman. This is totally unacceptable mistreatment against women. Another story called " Haimanti" also shows mistreatment of Indian women very well. I have read many similar Korean non fiction stories when I was in Korea. ...

My Great-Grandmother Was Not A Person

... Women were not recognized as equals to men, even though the expectations of women were such that the work load was equal if not greater.
