Boys and Girls Recent history boldly notes the protests and political unrest surrounding the Vietnam Conflict during the 1960s and 70s. However, equally important in this era are the women who pushed for gender role and publicly rebelled against the established social norm of a woman's "place."

-1The Ford Pinto case is an oft-cited example of business ethics gone wrong. Many people have been appalled by Ford’s lack of concern for human life.

Twilight was a popular book and movie series loved by many but judged by it seems like many more and a huge reasoning for why they hate the book is because Bella is a weak, single minded character.
