Housing Problem
698 Words - 3 Pages.... experiences and learn how to deal with the problem effectively. Canadian government’s housing policy is based on the idea that everyone is entitled to decent and affordable housing. Housing is a necessity and everyone needs a place to live. It is for this reason that government set its goal to ensure everyone is living in housing of adequate quality at a price they can afford. However, the government has turned into wrong definition of decency and affordability. Firstly, decency is subjective according to different cultures. I think that the Canadian government is setting a very high value on living environment, and such a high standard may cause more difficulties ....

The Cold War - Foreign Policy - Eisenhower And Kennedy

presidents to take whatever action they felt necessary to protect this
policy in order to stop the spread of communism. It was by this measure
that presidential actions in the Cold War were carried out. The reasons by
which we see that Eisenhower's and Kennedy's foreign policy were similiar
is the fact that the both felt the same toward the policy of containment,
thus the pieces fell in place once this plan was determined by both
presidents. The policy of containment was the policy of the time, it said
that our main goal was to keep communism from spreading. It would be later
seen that the focus of our efforts would be on the third world nations
which were weak and thus ....

Sexual Abstinence
2154 Words - 8 Pages.... One-tenth of young women between the ages of 15 and 19 get pregnant every year, 83 percent of these pregnancies are unwanted or unplanned. Half of the unmarried teens who get pregnant do so within six months of their first sexual experience. In fact, between 1986 and 1990, teen childbearing increased by 16 percent. What's worse, pregnant teenagers often don't see a doctor until the time of delivery. The dangers of going through a pregnancy without seeing a doctor are not only serious to the mother and child, but may risk the lives of both. "I'm doing the body count at 3 a.m. at Ben Taub [Hospital]," said Dr. Hunter Hamill, "and I can tell you that most of our (teen pregn ....

Gideon Vs Wainwright
1973 Words - 8 Pages.... A first reading of this phrase one might be think
that this right, that which gives a person accused of a crime to have
lawyers for his defense, is common knowledge being that it is among the
most basic rights given to the citizenry of the public. However, the simple
manner in which this amendment is phrased creates a “gray area”, and
subject to interpretation under different circumstances. The legitimacy of
the right to mount a legal defense is further obscured by the Fourteenth
Amendment which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States.” As a result, many
questions begin to arise which seek to ....

Humans Are Curious By Nature
796 Words - 3 Pages.... history came to an end.
Many attempts have been made towards research and understanding of these events in an attempt to draw from them a hypothesis on the events which took place prior to their results. Perhaps Gould stated it best in his essay when he stated that "we can never be completely sure that a hypothesis is right, though we may be able to show with confidence that it is wrong"(448). Scientist have come up with many theories as to why the rein of dinosaur rule of the earth stopped "once upon a time" and in truth none of them can be proven factually at the moment.
Though the "Disaster" theory does offer some scientific logic behind it since it offers some raw mater ....

Gun Control: Why Do We Need Licenses To Own Guns?
739 Words - 3 Pages.... like driving, the
government has an interest in maintaining public safety by ensuring as best it
can that only the law-abiding carry in public. However, some supporters of the
right to keep and bear arms oppose requiring a permit for concealed carry, and
prefer a permitless system like that of the state of Vermont, which simply
punishes misuse of guns, rather than restricting their lawful use. Restricting
the ability of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms on their own
property, and in defense of their homes and families, punishes them before they
have even done anything wrong.
In 1990, guns, which gun control supporters claim are "designed only to
kill," were inv ....

U.S. Criminal Justice System
1001 Words - 4 Pages.... feature of the U.S. criminal justice system is the jury system
which is found nowhere else in the world except here in the America. The jury
system originally was designed such that a decision of whether a person is
guilty or innocent will not fall only into one individual's hand but a group of
people. This feature gives the U.S. criminal justice system a lot of strength in
a way that in order for 10 people to agree on a person being guilty or not, the
court must supply sufficient amount of evidence so that no one will be punished
by mistake. Moreover, since the jury selection is done so secretly and strict
that it is not possible to judge any one in court in the favor of any ....
