• Unfortunately, your statement , "You cannot blame someone and hold it against them if it was done unknowingly" is completely false. Any court will tell you that, though you did not know the law existed, you will still be punished for breaking it. Ignorance is no excuse. Sex In…

• Part of why they are on the street is because of the city. Not all homeless people use drugs. Part of the reason they don't pay taxes is because they don't have a house or a job and they don't have a job because they usually have lost their identification so they cant get a…

• First of all the gender roles that we have in place do not show the dominance of the male gender it just tells you what society thinks that the male gender should be. This is not saying that the female gender can;'t do the same thing it is only saying what society thinks that…
• I think that gender roles should exist because of the fact that if we didn't have them nobody would know who would do what in a relationship. This just means that there is certain roles that a man and woman should do. It is just tradition that we have as humans to set certain…
