...that day because she had on a pair of shorts that the school said was not appropriate for her to be wearing at school due their length. Don’t get me wrong, I agree that girls shouldn’t be wearing “shorty shorts” to school for several reasons. One reason girls shouldn’t wear short clothing nowadays is because little girls are developing a lot earlier than when I was growing up. I also have had a little cousin sent home from school because of holes in the knees of her pants. The pants were made with the holes in them for style and were purchased at American Eagle which is a name brand store many teenagers love. In today’s time kids are doing things that are just unthought-of: an example is a little boy who goes to school with holes in his pants and next thing you know someone has put something in his pants. All this does is cause distraction in the class and causes the teacher to have to stop teaching to take of some nonsense because the kids want to act up and aggravate the child by sticking stuff in his pants. So it’s best that students don’t wear clothing with holes in them because it can cause distractions to the others in class. So now I would like to...

...connotation on our children, was when Gangster Rapper Ice T came on the scene. I remember them saying that the song "Cop Killer" by Body Count was influencing people, not just children, to go out and kill cops. Ice T was the lead singer of Body Count Band and this song came out around 1987. I know the negative issues surrounding this song, got so bad, that the song was pulled off the shelves. But, I do believe that when children get a better, moral and economic start in life, they are less likely to be influenced by what others sing; whether Rap, Hard Rock or any music. I think that any child with a poor life start or poor self esteem can be influence to do something bad, if bombarded with it daily. From dressing provocatively to sagging their pants. And if sagging is not an eye sore, I do not know what is. But for the most part, we have begun to see some Rappers be more responsible and address issues concerning our children; like telling our children to get an education and to do the right thing. ”(p 78) “The drill somehow corrected its course … Sougarret as he struggled to explain the...

...According to the Oxford Dictionary of Sociology, “Socialization” is the process by which we learn to become members of society, both by internalizing the Norms and values of society, and also by learning how to perform our social roles as workers, friends, citizens, and so forth. This process of human development is said to be based on the concept of “Nature vs. Nurture”, that is the comparative importance of heredity (nature) and the environment (nurture) in the causation of human behavior. The mass media, which refers collectively to all media technologies such as the radio, internet, television, film and smart phones, has the ability to constantly communicate messages to extremely large audiences across the globe and therefore is a major influence on the way the environment affects our socialization process. Mass media is a significant force in moderrn culture; sociologists refer to this as mediated culture, were the media reflects and creates culture. Although family is suppose to be the most important agent of socialization the development of new technologies has bridged an increasing gap between the older and younger generations. Newer generations are drawn into the entertaining and appealing world of technology and are being constantly bombarded with messages from a multitude of media sources, these messages not only promote products, but moods, attitudes, and a sense of what is and is not important. With lesser and lesser interaction between the older and younger...

...and creating peace and prosperity. however they lack a precise and clear objective, bearing similarities to a blunt tool smashing there points without making a precise and clear dent while King’s movements was a finely sharpened arrow precisely aiming towards his goal. According to CNN article “ is black lives matter blowing it” by John Blake says that “They're not trying to speak White America's language”. Ultimately what this means is that the movement cannot produce excellent and memorable speeches and because of this “white America” cannot understand what the black lives matter movement is trying to do. Another reason why the movement is ineffective is because they have forgotten the teaching of the civil rights movement. Based on the research paper done by Kristopher B Burrell “Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Greater Vision: Manually Bending the Arc of Time Towards Justice” talks about how About how his tactics were to not only make the aware to others of the situation of segregation and discrimination but made aware is plans to the public”.

...Professor Brim African American Literature March 20.2014 African American entrapment in the Double-Conciseness stigma. Throughout my research on "Double Consciousness," I stub lame upon the founding that Dubois is the philosopher behind "Double consciousness." According to Dubois, "Double consciousness is” the presence of two apparently unconnected streams of consciousness in one individual.” This was first seen “in an Atlantic Monthly article titled “Strivings of the Negro People” in 1897. It was later republished with minor edits under the title “Of Our Spiritual Strivings” in 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois describes “double consciousness” as follows: “It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.” DuBois used the context in relation to Race, Ethnicity, and Society in the United States of America. In which I came to the understanding of this theory, African Americans do not act as how society projected as to act embedded with Darwin's theory survival of the fittest we adapt to the masculine kind in order to survive. This will help us to advance with in our society. For example: African American are known to wear their pants sagging off their rumps, even though this stereotype is true, not all of us dress as such. And this is where the “double consciousness” comes into play. Some...

...Globalization Name: Institutional affiliations: This paper focuses on highlighting how the processes of globalization have changed the experiences of growing up and being educated in for the adolescent children aged 12 to 15 in Australia. Globalization is the process by which organizations and businesses establish international relations through the exchange of world business views and ideas, culture and products with other nations of the world. These businesses and organizations then start to operate and trade on an international scale. Globalization can be attributed to advances in the industrial sector, changes in the transportation and telecommunication systems, infrastructural changes, and the rise in the internet culture and development. The interplay of these forces in politics, religion and economies influence the economic trends of each country. Some of the social effects of globalization to the world economy include: poverty reduction due to increase in the wages and employment rate in the participative developing countries, improved healthcare provision due to the registered decline in the maternal and infant mortality rates, the provision of better educational standards, in line with the global millennium developmental goals. However globalization has also been viewed as a key in increasing the unemployment rates in the third world countries due to massive sacking of workers, high poverty rates and low income generation among the working...

...market segments in the earlier part of the decade. Confident in the wake of 501’s success, the company was contemplating its next steps when research revealed a decline in jeans purchases by LS&Co.’s core customer base of baby boomers. In short, the company’s “bread and butter” customer for the last 30 years - the American male teenager - was now 25-40 and was moving out of the jeans market at an alarming rate. To retain these customers even as their jeans purchases slowed or stopped, the company introduced Levi’s Dockers casual pants. Dockers, as the name was later shortened to, was one of the most successful new product introductions of the 1980s in the clothing industry. Consumers responded to the product design, which utilized the comfort and casual feel of cotton, and likeable advertising by purchasing enough Dockers to make a billion-dollar brand by 1993. Over the course of the 1990s, LS&Co. enjoyed phenomenal success from its Dockers sub-brand. The Dockers brand achieved record sales growth in 1998 and Fortune magazine estimated in 1999 that 75 percent of American men owned a pair of Dockers and that the average customer owned 3.8 pairs. That year, the total number of Dockers owners exceeded 40 million. The company noticed at this time that younger customers began to lose interest in Dockers, however, with many dismissing the pants as something “their fathers wore.” In the late 1990s, Levi Strauss developed new advertising campaigns and introduced new Dockers sub-brands...

...Generated by ABC Amber LIT Convertera http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html Killing Dance(v2.1) Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter Book 6 Laurell K. Hamilton, 1997 Anita Blake, vampire hunter, is now herself a hunted woman. Who put the $500,000 price on her head--a man or a monster? It's not just her own skin she needs to save; the rivalry between her werewolf boyfriend, Richard, and Marcus, the other alpha werewolf in his pack, has come to full boil. And there's always Jean-Claude, the vampire who's been waiting for just the right moment to slip inside Anita's head and heart. 1 The most beautiful corpse I'd ever seen was sitting behind my desk. Jean-Claude's white shirt gleamed in the light from the desk lamp. A froth of lace spilled down the front, peeking from inside his black velvet jacket. I stood behind him, my back to the wall, arms crossed over my stomach, which put my right hand comfortably close to the Browning Hi-Power in its shoulder holster. I wasn't about to draw on Jean-Claude. It was the other vampire I was worried about. The desk lamp was the only light in the room. The vampire had requested the overheads be turned out. His name was Sabin, and he stood against the far wall, huddling in the dark. He was covered head to foot in a black, hooded cape. He looked like something out of an old Vincent Price movie. I'd never seen a real vampire dress like that. The last member of our happy little group was Dominic Dumare. He sat in one of the client chairs. He was...
