All it takes is a few nightly news stories showing young bodies being wheeled out of schools on gurneys to convince the world that violence in our schools is increasing. Certainly, it is shocking when a couple of adolescents open fire in a school with semiautomatic weapons. It is shocking when a sixteen-year-old in Pearl, Mississippi, stabs his mother to death and then shoots two classmates to
death and wounds several others. When adolescents are depicted on the evening news, it is often in the context of violence, particularly at schools. In fact, according to the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, crime in the nation's schools has been decreasing since 1993. Victimization rates at schools have dropped from 48 crimes per 1,000 students to 43 crimes per 1,000 students. The fact is, only one-half of 1 percent of juveniles are arrested for violent crime in any given year today. School shootings are still extremely rare; they are not on the increase. In the 1992-1993 school year, there were fifty-five school-associated violent deaths. In the 2001-2002 school year, there were only four. Indeed, adolescents are not really killing other adolescents at an increasing rate. They rarely kill one another. Less than 3 percent of homicides in the United States involve an individual under the age of eighteen killing another person under eighteen. Nevertheless, Americans believe that juveniles are responsible for 43 percent of all homicides. In fact, they are responsible for only 9 percent. The Wall Street Journal took a poll a few years ago. Seventy-one percent of respondents believed that a killing was likely in their schools. In reality, the chances of that happening are one in a million. Perhaps as a result of a misguided perception about school violence, we are in an era of zero tolerance. Authorities seize not only weapons and illegal drugs at school, but also nail clippers, asthma inhalers, and headgear. Even though less than 1 percent of all violent incidents involving teen-agers occur on school grounds, authorities believe that zero tolerance is necessary. As a consequence, a large number of innocent schoolchildren are being accused of violating the rules. Sometimes, accusations border on the bizarre. In one case, a six-year-old was apprehended for bringing a "weapon" to school. The weapon was a plastic knife given to him by his grandmother so that he could spread peanut butter on his sandwich. The tone of this passage is a. argumentative. b. ironic. c. apathetic. d. objective.
The book was read by the entire family which described the murders of three famous

Living together may be defined as two unrelated adults involved in an emotional and sexual relationship who sleep overnight in the same residence on a regular basis. Almost 4 million unmarried couples are living together. Almost half of the U.S. population in their 30s report that they have lived with someone they were not married to. Reasons for an increase of almost 600 percent in living
together since 1970 include a delay of marriage for educational or career commitments, fear of marriage, increased tolerance from society for living together, and a desire to avoid the legal entanglements of marriage. Types of livingtogether relationships include those involving partners who live together for fun (enjoy here and now), testers (test the relationship), engaged couples (plan to marry), and cohabitants forever (never plan to marry). Most people who live together eventually get married but not necessarily to each other. Most cohabitants drift into living together by progressively spending more time in one residence. They usually divide housework along traditional lines and tend to keep their money and property separate. Social policies to give benefits to domestic partners (live-ins) have been slow to evolve. Only about 10 percent of corporations provide such benefits. Advantages of cohabitation include delaying marriage, gaining information about oneself and one's partner, and being able to terminate an unsatisfactory relationship without the problems/stigma of divorce. Disadvantages include feeling exploited, feeling guilty about lying to parents, and not having the same economic benefits as those who are married. Social Security and retirement benefits are paid to spouses, not to live-in partners. Cohabitation does not ensure a happy and durable marriage. When cohabitants marry, they are more likely to divorce than individuals who did not live together before marriage. Cohabitation may draw individuals who are "norm breakers" and who are less committed to the institution of marriage. It may also provide a context for withdrawing from a conflictual relationship rather than negotiating solutions. Involvement with another person is a primary reason college student dating/cohabitation relationships end. Such an ending usually involves a face-to-face conversation that the relationship is over. Issues to consider in ending a relationship include being realistic about the potential of any relationship to meet all needs, taking the blame for why the relationship needs to end, and accepting that grieving is an important aspect of adjusting to a terminated relationship. Adjustment to a broken relationship is aided by the passage of time (particularly for women) and a new partner (particularly for men). The rate of cohabiting couples a. has increased slightly since 1970. b. has increased dramatically since 1970. c. has declined in the past few years. d. has remained nearly constant since 1970.
