The difference does not exist."1 Yet his GM is accused of undermining the American transportation infrastructure and destroying a viable, superior streetcar network in order to sell more cars. Regardless of the validity of this conspiracy theory, the fact remains that America destroyed vast mass transit networks to make way for

Surprisingly most of the teachers and administrators are unaware of this problem. Organizations such as the American Association of University Women (“Gender equity,” 2003.) strive to create programs that will improve equality within schools.

Media affects everyone and everything; There is no escape. Media is everywhere and surrounds everything. Henry Jenkins and Marshall McLuhan have differing points of view as to what the meaning of media is. They both, however, have their particular ponits which they describe well.

The children are the real losers because they are the ones that are not able to read the classic works of literature which are the backbone of classroom discussions all across the United States. The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) defines censorship as: “The removal, suppression, or restricted circulation of literary, artistic, or educational materials… of images, ideas, and information…on the grounds that these are morally or otherwise
violent interactions between students, they are giving tacit approval to such behaviors. We as a society taunt boys for throwing like a girl, or crying like a girl, which implies that being a girl is worse than being a boy. According to the American Association of University Women Report, "The clear message to both boys and girls is that girls are not worthy of respect and that appropriate behavior for boys includes exerting power over girls -- or over other, weaker boys" (Bailey, 173).

Transcription can be a costly, timely process; so much so that a great deal of this work is outsourced outside of the hospital to be processed. Of the work that is outsourced, an estimated 10%-20% of that is sent offshore according to the American Association for Medical Transcription[3].

Accurate and thorough assessment allows the educator to best determine what education and support may be beneficial (American Association of Diabetes Educators, 2011). The factors that impact patients’ food choices are complex and intertwined with such things as culture, health beliefs, familial traditions, and economics to name a few. Since the nutritional aspects of diabetes management also have a tendency to be the most challenging for a patient, particular care

Therefore, support systems and constant education should be a part of any treatment plan for the patient at risk or the patient suffering from diabetic neuropathy.

The first argument that I have to disagree with is when Rebecca stated that the American Library Association recommends books for young readers, but these recommendations reflect their liberal values and the books recommended by the ALA contain cures words and graphic sexual information (Hagelin).

Literary Censorship Censorship in American society is inconsistent and biased toward things that affect adults. American censorship may help control the bitter world of television, video games, and music, but what about the literary documents?
