Youth Group Friendships Friends are important for people to get through life. They can help with personal problems and are good company. Friends make people feel calmer, more relaxed, and can help take the focus off of stressful tasks. A nice place to find good friends is a youth group. I started attending a youth group of an upscale church in southeast Michigan on a regular basis after finishing my freshman year of high school. I had been going to that church on Sunday mornings since Kindergarten

Media Studies, American Media The media has a huge impact on issues concerning race and ethnicity Depictions of certain groups of people in the media can impact the way in which these groups are perceived by others as well as by members of the same racial/ethnic category.

believe Dunbar, then gossip is “the principal evolutionary innovation of the primates…to exploit social solutions to the everyday problems of survival...” (Dunbar 106). However, this theory of social bonding only works if the whole of a group can agree on which problems of survival are

Unfair Discrimination “Cracker.”, “Niger.”, “Wetback.” Everyone at one point of their lives have been faced with raw derogatory slang terms that are often used to categorize individuals into groups. It is sad to think that many years have passed, and these hateful terms are still prevalent to this day.

Wickham argues in his article, Gossip and Resistance Among the Medieval Peasantry about the importance of analyzing gossip, and how gossip can help historians understand how medieval social groups work.
