- 501: Confucianism
- ... do not realize the drastic effects religion has on a culture. It can have a major impact on the stability and growth of the economy, the people's family, and social lives. In the following essay, I will illustrate how Confucianism, Buddhism, Islamic, Judaism, and Christianity influenced different societies. Confucianism is a moral and religious system in China. It was a system of ethical principles for the management of society, combining etiquette, ritual, sympathy, and treating inferiors with propriety. Since it is based on social issues, the supernatural religions, such as Buddism, challenged it. When Confucianism was at its prime, it promoted peace, stability, and a just government. The culture progresses because each individual is ...

- ... laws, but also laws about sexual segregation and immigration restriction. As to marriage, all eugenicists across America were in agreement. They believed in the “righteous idea”16 of wiping out social defect through the marriage restrictions. This was also applied in sterilization laws. As for segregation, the American Eugenics Society published pro-segregation pamphlets explaining how it would be beneficial, as opposed to simply sterilization.17 As for immigration issues, in 1924, eugenicists successfully lobbied for an Immigration Restriction Act that was based on the ratios from the Act passed in the 1890s.18 The active role played by the ... ideal society, what he called a “living organism”21 of a single nationality.22 This living organism was called the “Volksgemeinschaft” or the national community, and it supposedly transcended all social differences.23 This is a contradiction in itself.

In order to demonstrate this, it must be made evident that pornography is not “evil” and does not cause undesirable social behaviour by displaying nude women in sexually explicit circumezces. Thus, it is important to indicate that women are not treated only as sexual objects through the media. This is done ... are not acting in accordance with such “sinful” actions; to show that sex is being “forced” upon them. Any other feelings towards the fantasized rape would prove to be “undesirable social behaviour” and amazingly, the media is not even involved!

- 504: Date Rape Drugs
- ... appropriate measures to make sure that these drinks are not consumed. For these reasons, I believe that a health promotion program needs to be planned and implemented to address these issues and combat the problem of date rape. I have planned a program which follows the Comprehensive Health Education Model and which is grounded in the Social Cognitive Theory. It is based on extensive research that I have summarized below on the topic of date rape drugs and their effects. Sedating substances are used to enhance the ... and how to deal with being drugged.

- 505: Susan B. Anthony and The Women's Movement
- ... both a noun and an adjective, refers to the characteristics of a woman. Feminism dates back to the late eighteenth century. The meaning of the word has altered due to social change. I will show how the word transformed into the current meaning by telling about the accomplishments of two well-known Feminists, Susan B. Anthony, and Gloria Steinem. Susan B. Anthony dealt with women’s movements dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, while Gloria Steinem dealt with more current issues starting from the 1960’s. Susan B. Anthony was a U.S. leader of the women's suffrage (right to vote) movement. She worked extremely hard to win voting rights ... Steinem became a role model for young women, espousing her belief that when women are liberated, men will become whole people as well.

- 507: Blacks: Indirectly Enslaved
- Blacks: Indirectly Enslaved After the Civil War was over, reconstruction began in the south. During this time, many things were done to rebuild the United States. Different issues were examined; one such issue was slavery and what to do with the newly freed slaves. Slavery was abolished with the 13th amendment after the Civil War, but indirectly slavery remained for southern blacks, for through social, economic, and political domination by the southern whites, southern blacks remained enslaved. Southern whites kept blacks re-enslaved economically by keeping them dependant on whites for survival. After the war ... The blacks were totally dependent economically on the whites for survival, working on the white man’s land for survival the same way they did when they were slaves.

This point describes how people tend to linger in making a commitment and wearing away their responsibility in their careers, social life and marriage.

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, there are five classes: (1) physiological, (2) safety, (3) social, (4) esteem, and (5) self-actualization. Each lower level need must be satisfied before an individual experiences higher level needs. Also, Maslow hypothesized that as physiological, safety, social, and esteem needs were satisfied, they ceased to motivate, while the self-actualization needs actually motivate an individual more as they are satisfied (Schwab, 1978: 57). Herzberg used this theory as a base to build his motivation-hygiene theory which ties Maslow’s needs to on the job achievement. The hygiene elements relate to low needs (physiological, safety, and social). For an individual, hygiene conditions include company policy and administration, supervision, relationships with peers and supervisors, work conditions, salary, status, and security.
