Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at how stuttering affects language. Specifically, the paper looks at the role phonetic complexity plays in the frequency of stuttering amongst individuals. Moving forward, the paper also looks at the role that speed appears to play in how poorly (or how well) individuals who have a propensity for stuttering articulate themselves. Finally, the paper concludes by examining how factors like spontaneity shape a person's tendency to stutter while speaking.

From the Paper
"In the end, stuttering appears to limit an individual's ability to express phonetically complex sentences or phrases, limits the ability of an individual to express him or herself when the rate of verbal exchange is accelerated, and makes extemporaneous verbal exchange difficult, maybe even almost impossible, in some instances."

Abstract
The paper relates that the media affects adolescent girls by making them more interested in sex and sexuality, and it also affects the choices that teen adolescent girls make about sex and sexuality. The paper discusses how at any given time, children can repeat phrases and actions from a television jingle, movie or series television show and this uncanny ability of youth rears its controversial head when it is sexy poses for commercials, alcohol advertisements and play wrestling that is being mimicked. The paper shows how the messages that all types of media are sending out to our youth are shaping a generation, whether we want to believe it or not.

Abstract
This paper begins by providing statistics of how common domestic violence is in the home. In turn, the writer states that these high numbers expose an enormous number of children to affects of domestic violence. The paper discusses the various affects which range from developing violent tendencies themselves, low self-image, aggression in problem solving, behavioral problems and even suicide.

From the Paper
"In the area of psychological research there a thousands of pressing questions, yet among all those questions one rises to the top of the list. In the area of family psychology and family therapy the question of the psychological affects of domestic violence on children has been hotly debated and eternally researched, yet many questions remain unanswered. These questions are pressing as the institution of family in our culture evolves and emerges as an entirely different social dynamic than existed even twenty years ago. The psychological effects of violence, in the family upon children are vast and will probably always need further address. Many families garner a different definition as more and more family units are head primarily by one parent and many families combine to become families consisting of several members who are related only by law, rather than by genetics. These trends began many years ago but continue to change the face of the American family today and will no doubt continue to do so in the near and far future. In this proposed study the issues of the psychological effects of domestic violence upon children will be addressed through diligent research. The problem has been clearly assessed for at least the last ten years and possibly longer as more and more information about developmental psychology leads to clearer and clearer indications of causation between parental behavior and children's behavior."

Abstract
This paper discusses how racism affects education in the 21st century. The paper discusses how racism in America has changed over time from being directed almost entirely towards African Americans, to now include other minority groups. It specifically looks at how racism affects education in terms of classroom practices, access, admissions policies and results, quotas and more.

From the Paper
"With their college preparation then lacking and as a result qualitatively unequal to the preparation for college of white students also seeking higher education admission, higher education becomes even harder for minority students to successfully obtain. In 2004 Solorzano and Ornelas compared patterns of enrollments of Latino/a and African American high school students in advanced placement courses in four separate high schools within the Los Angeles [California] Unified School District. The four particular high schools studied by the authors were spread over four very different geographical areas of Los Angeles."

Abstract
A personal reflection on how sociology has affected the student's life.

From the Paper
"Inequality has affected my own life in that I have experienced it first hand and in those I know and care about. I consider my own social class to be middle class, my gender is male and my ethnicity is white. While I have enjoyed many advantages due to being from a white, middle class background, I have experienced feeling less equal to those in a higher class who are the owners of the jobs, businesses and houses..."

Abstract
This paper explores the ways that American society and culture was affected by the Holocaust. It explains how at first the Americans thought they would be spared the horrors of this war, but how towards the end they were as deeply involved in witnessing the atrocities as the other Allies. It explains how the American public received the news of the concentration camps, how the war affected American-Jewish relationships and its relationship with Germany after the war.

From the Paper
"Nazi Germany's rule led to the death of millions of European Jews. While World War II began as a European War, American eventually got into the act as an ally. By the end of the War, America was rolling its tanks into the concentration camps of the Nazis, all across Eastern Europe, freeing concentration camp prisoners and experiencing firsthand eyewitness accounts that were indescribable and utterly inhumane."

Abstract
An analysis of how weapons have developed in the 20th century and the affect that they have had on the many wars fought in this century. It gives examples of different types of explosives, firearms, tanks, aeroplanes, submarines etc and explains how each of these has changed the character of war and battles.

From the Paper
"Wars have always varied from one era to another, and one major reason for that variance is the weaponry of that time. Strategies and weapons revolve around the technology of the time. In the Twentieth Century there were many new weapons invented, which significantly changed the ways wars that were fought. These weapons range from handheld grenades, to nuclear warheads. They also include new transportation modes such as submarines or airplanes. Each weapon affected wars, some more profoundly than others. "

Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of child sexual abuse in the United States. It provides statistics concerning the rise of this problem and discusses how this affects a high percentage of children and youth. The paper focuses on the way this abuse affects children socially and psychologically, in both their childhood and future adult life.

From the Paper
"When a grown-up person or a person much older than a child engages in sexual action with a juvenile, mistreatment takes place. The misuse can be a one time event, or over an extensive period of time and includes touching, fondling, kissing in a sexual manner, oral sex, masturbation, digital or penile penetration of rectum or vagina. Sexual violence at young age is related to a range of psychological indications and problems and is widespread in our culture (Berliner & Elliott, 1996). The rape cases that happened when the sufferer was less than eleven year old was 29% and was 32% between the ages of 11 and 17, as per a rape survey carried out by the National Victim Center in 1992. The Centers for Disease Control have been involved in providing instant steps to teach the public against the spread out of the diseases, when dealing with a medical spate in the country. In America, people are conscious that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys are physically abused before the age of 18 and the spate of child molestation is widespread (Finkelhor, 1993). It is not just enough if a child is cautioned to stay away from unfamiliar person. A greater part of the children are physically abused by those they know and have faith in, but are not familiar to other family members. There is also a lesser-known group of molesters like, children who commit sexual crimes upon children younger than themselves."

Abstract
Transnational corporations - companies which operate in two or more nations - have emerged onto the global scene as business conglomerates that affect the lives of people on six different continents. This paper analyzes the affects that transnational Corporations have on developing countries, examines how they can stimulate economic activity and the detrimental, darker role TNC's can play in harming the environment and taking advantage of the less stringent standards in developing countries. The paper uses Cypher and Dietz's "The Process of Economic Development", Chapter 14: TNC's (1998), as well as Andre Frank's "The Development of Underdevelopment" (1969).

From the Paper
"Cypher and Dietz term DFI or Direct Foreign Investment as the ownership of productive assets by a corporation in another nation. They continue by pointing out that existing plant and equipment is quite often the target of TNC investment for purchase, reducing the ownership and control of domestic capitalists (C & D 1998, PGs. 436-438). When TNC's purchase existing plants and equipment in developing countries, they are not aiding the local economy or stimulating investment, but rather are carving their own niche into the developing country that substitutes local ownership and control. Based upon statistical analysis of total investment in developing countries, DFI accounts for a small slice and thus has a rather modest impact on the growth of lesser-developed countries. Cypher and Dietz point out that the impact the TNC positively has on undeveloped countries is more qualitative in nature than quantitative (C & D 1998, Pg. 438)."
