Responsibility
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Human beings are born with inherent characteristics that set them apart from other members of the animal world; one of the most prominent of these traits is that of responsibility. In a very general sense, maintaining responsibility means to be cognizant of one's actions as they impact those within one's circle of life. This circle, however, does not end with the eye's perception; rather, the circle extends far beyond anyone's immediate vision, much like the ripples of a stream continue forth long past one's gaze. People use responsibility for myriad reasons: to further their good character; to establish reliability; and to tap into their moral being. The dimensions of responsibility are grand and far-reaching, often proving to elude those who do not put forth an honest effort to retain its presence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Sexual Harassment Laws Favor Women
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) courses. Women wield such power in this "man's world" that with a word, a whimper, no more, they can destroy most men. The power of the female victim in American society is great. By this cause, all men have reason to fear and distrust them. Women use victim power to destroy inconvenient men. Women use blame, guilt and shame to control men. Mothers and teachers encourage men to be vulnerable to this from earliest childhood, and girls rely on the power of the pointed finger to "keep men in line." Thus, they fear shameless men because such men can't be controlled with guilt and blame. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Sociological Study of the Impact of Genetics Research
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the sociological concerns of genetic research. Genetic research is a concern for social scientists who feel that largely the “explosion” of knowledge which has occurred in the field of genetic research has not considered the ethical, legal, moral and social impact the research will ultimately have on society. Already those concerned about genetic research have noted the shifts in health care research funding which have left many diseases which affect the overall populations unfunded and instead focused the funding on specific diseases which may or may not be related more to certain ethnic groups. Legally, the increasing number of genetic databases which are kept on individuals may be used for issues relating to insurance, employer files or criminal profiling and critics are concerned that the rights of privacy also will be violated. In addition, concerns in genetic research has led to discussions regarding the rights of disable persons, women and minorities and the ultimate effects of cloning and the human genome project. Largely, most social scientists feel that genetic research will not aid in maintaining the diversity in society but will lead to increasing prejudice and bias. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
