.... about straight answers in the beginning, but towards the end, the candidates were repeating themselves because the questions began to lose focus and seemed to overlap enough to cause an answer similar to if not the same as an earlier one. I do admit, though, that the questions did attack key points and some answers that were given did seriously cause some thought not to where the vote is going, but where it will lead us. The answers given were fairly definitive, and the only topic not seriously touched was scandals such as Watergate, etc. The debate was key in helping me decide a now important part of my life. I have decided that I am a Democrat. I found most of what C ....

.... to take control of weaker areas. Countries also tried to increase their power through the control of more land and people. Economic causes also led to imperialism. As a result of the Industrial Revolution, countries needed colonies for Raw materials to feed the ever- increasing number of factories, Markets for finished products, places to invest surplus capital, and places to send surplus population. And social causes also led to imperialism. Many people believed the word of Rudyard Kipling, who said it was the white mans burden to educate the people of the underdeveloped world, spread the customs of what they perceived was a superior western culture, and to conv ....

.... in South Vietnam. These were the main problems that the Kennedy administration faced. The Bay of Pigs was the first battle that John. F. Kennedy faced with communism and it came to just three months after his inauguration. Fidel Castro, Leader of Cuba, had been working to export its revolutionary ideas to other Latin American countries. In the US Castro was seen as a major threat. Under former president Eisenhower the CIA had prepared a plan for an invasion. The Bay of Pigs ended up to be a fiasco. The Cuban Missile Crisis took the US to some surprise. The Soviet Leader , Khrushchev, approved the instillation of nuclear missiles in Cuba. An American reconnaissance plan ....

.... national institute that it was about to become. Jefferson’s more or less 6,500 volumes formed the heart of the library, and grew speedily in the nineteenth century. The new copyright law of 1870 demanded that two copies of every single book copyrighted had to be given to the library in order to receive protection. The flood of material that resulted forced the construction of a new building that opened in 1897. A new age for the library was guided by the opening of the Jefferson building and The Main Reading room. Special format collections were separated from the book collections and the readers could access them in different locations of the library. Some of these forma ....

.... minimum wage toward the end of the Depression era to ensure a "minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being for workers." (Fair Labor Standard Act, 1938) In 1993 some 4.8 million people worked for minimum wage or less. (Mishel, Bernstein & Rasell Table 7) According to the Department of Labor, nearly 6.45 percent of the labor force is earning minimum wages. (Tannenbaum and Gupta B1) By having minimum wage laws the government is trying to ensure that everyone has a better standard of living and a more equal chance of competing with the higher income families and a fairer chance to improve their economic condition. In talking about low- ....

.... for him, having achieved his dream to become a professional athlete and supporting his parents and relatives on this newfound fame as he had always promised. Yet, something was happening to Rae Carruth. Obviously, he was not happy with his life at that point. Still, murder is not exactly a sensible action, not even as a last resort to most who have their wits about them. It seemed as though Carruth felt that he had no other choice. He seemed to take the classic, “I don’t like you, so I’ll beat you up,” mantra of the playgrounds to a much harsher end in this case. With Carruth you must question many things about him, his sanity, his maturity, his intelligence, and a ....

.... females are entrenched in their status because of the lowering of standards and expectations imposed on them by businesses and educational institutions due to the cries of racism and sexism in standards by advocates of AA. Ernest Van Den Haag put it best, when he declares that. " Affirmative action has done as much injury to black scholars as to black students." Isn't it time to return to hiring people on individual merit, and return the millions spent on Affirmative action. That money could be better spent on bringing minority and female applicants up to standards. I believe the most qualified person should be awarded the job, regardless of race, ethnicity, or ....

.... The article says, “The party oligarchy is widened without ever becoming a democracy, for the election is carried out by the members, who are a minority in comparison with those who give their votes to the party in general elections.” Duverger also states that parties usually tend to create an opinion formed by propaganda and improper procedure, such as the ballot procedure. In conclusion, “the party system is less a photograph of opinion is a projection of the party system.” According to this statement, Duverger expresses that “the general development of parties tries to emphasize their deviation from the democratic regime [which is a mode of system of rule or gove ....
