My introduction

When I am on winter break I enjoy having the time off but when I get back to school it feels like winter break was very short. I think winter break should be one extra week because some people go on vacation and want to be with their families but they have to leave early. Also, some people stay on vacation and miss school. My last reason is that we would have more time to do our homework.

Child Abuse Introduction

A child needs love rather than hate. I think child abuse is wrong and hurtful. There are many reasons for this. Many children are killed by child abuse. Children who are abused are more likely to rebel as they get older. Children who were abused have a tendency to abuse their own children.

Intro: Male Chauvinism

"Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." ~Clare Boothe Luce

It is saddening that all women are classified a certain way due to their gender, usually as inferiors. This is called male chauvinism. Male chauvinism is the belief that men are superior to women. This concept has been around for ages, whether it be due to prejudice, experience, or religion. With gender does not come a list of capabilities. Women have drive and deserve to be taken seriously. It is wrong to underestimate due to gender, because we all have potential. It's irritating when people just assume that you can't do something because of your sex.

My Intro...

Children go through many problems, and divorce is the biggest one. Have you ever thought how stressful a divorce could be on a child? I believe that it should be a childs choice who they got to be with when their parents get divorced. Some children aren't prepared for a divorce so it hurts more, it also hurts when they can't meet the other parent, and some parents are so busy that they forget about the child.

Intro

"Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human has to choose a relative" ~Mordecai Siegual, Writer~ I think that people should stop abusing dogs because many end up severely hurt or worse killed. Also the dog or dogs that get abuse tend to become more aggressive and lastly people think that its fun and games but they don't know how sever this is.
