Theories concerned with how and why individuals become criminals have been circulating since the late nineteenth century and range from physiological reasons to issues concerned with the community and social problems. One such discussion point for the former is the impact of problems in the family environment as being the cause of offender behaviour in childhood, adolescence and beyond into adulthood. In practice, it becomes clear that these problems are a significant cause of delinquency and criminality, and whilst they may not be held entirely to account for the behaviour of the individual, their impact certainly doesn’t help the ...

Physical appearance has long been linked to happiness - as social creatures, we communicate to each other nonverbally, and so we often give off the impression of happiness if we present ourselves in a way that is visually appealing to others. Likewise, that feeling is often reciprocated by these others, allowing us to feel good about ourselves because we look good. You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting ...

Violence is endemic in today’s television, movies and video games. The prevalence of violence in popular media begs the question: Are we, as a culture, very violent in nature, or does the violence in the media make us violent. Many people subscribe to the “Art imitates life” idea that violence in the media reflects the violent urges of people, while some feel that the violence displayed in media actually causes people to be more violent. Of the two explanations, the more compelling one is that the violence in the media reflects the violent nature of humans.

Effective parenting is essential to the moral development of a child.

While there seems to be nothing to unhinge the economic development, whether in a global or regional context, now that military conflicts are history. Countries engage in mutually profitable trade relationships and enter into trade blocs, conduct strategic planning, develop their respective economies; however, a miscalculation on the part of one country can precipitate the entire region into economic crisis that inflicts all types of damage on the productive capacity, exports, and social welfare. The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 was one of such regional disturbances that did serious economic damage to countries like China, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The reason ...

Me: I support the statement that cell phones are a net loss to society. Most people have developed a significant addiction and the obsessive need to check their e-mail and social networks too often. That type of behavior creates an unhealthy dependency on cell phones, which leads to several issues in personal development and social relationships.
Opponent: The behaviors you described can happen, but you can’t consider cell phones a loss to society just because people use them irresponsibly. That approach shifts the blame to devices that cannot determine how they will be used. If people use cell phones responsibly, ...

One definition of morality is “The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct” (thefreedictionary). The decency of capital punishment is a largely disputed subject and one that tends to polarise people’s views. However, in 2012 and in a leading civilised nation such as the U.S. it is arguable that there can be no circumstances in which sentencing a person to death is acceptable. America is known around the world as being a well-respected, leading democracy. The act of punishing people by death is an ancient one; it is also one that no longer has place in society.

In reaction to the article by Anna Simon that appeared in the Greenville News, The (SC) - dated September 20, 2008 on Universities debate change in drinking age, I believe it is a high time that the government rethought on alcohol related laws.
