.... the discriminative barriers that were ever so present when the bill was first enacted, in 1965. At this time, the country was in the wake of nationwide civil- rights demonstrations, and racial tension was at an all time high. Most of the corporate executive and managerial positions were occupied by White Males, who controlled the hiring and firing of employees. The U.S. government, in 1965, believed that these employers were discriminating against Minorities and believed that there was no better time than the present to bring about change. This action, that started with good intentions, would later lead to a different and more complex form of discrimination. When the Civi ....

.... contents have been leaked to the press, and confirmed by administration officials. We know that PDD 60 states that nuclear weapons will remain the cornerstone of our national security for the indefinite future, we maintain the right to use nuclear weapons first, and we can launch a nuclear attack if we have reason to believe that we are under a nuclear attack (Krieger, pdd60.html). Nuclear weapons remain at the core of our defense strategy. The United States is not the only culprit. Today, roughly 52,000 nuclear warheads exist (Kressley). The large number of nuclear weapons is a huge risk to the entire planet. Many argue that there cannot be a nuclear-free world. They c ....

.... to moral develpment. formal operational thinking allows the adolescent to interpret the social environment in new and different ways. Second, because adolescents are capable of devising anew and idealisftic social orders to which all are expected to conform, we may view whtn as moral philosophers. A number of researchers have noted other changes in moral development that point to the importance of adolescence as transition stage in moral development. Unlike children, the adolescent is concerned with what is right as opposed to what is wrong. also, adolescents become more preoccupied with personal and social moral codes. As they gain the competency to understand alter ....

.... as do the reasonings for their formation. Although we do not think that men and women need to change their cultures to effectively communicate, we do think that better communication is possible. One of the researchers we took a look at was Deborah Tannen. According to Tannen the reason that men and women do not communicate well is that men and women use language differently. Women take the attitude that conversation is to explore solutions to common problems while men concern themselves more with getting information and hard data from conversation. Tannen states that what women look for in communication is human connection, while men consider status to be most important. The ....

.... Many bills sit in congress for ages until they are finally decided on, usually only with unnecessary additions that waste government money for special public works programs. In order to meet its obligations to the American people, the government needs to reduce its size and make it easier to get important programs accomplished while weeding out the needless ones. Second, the government has not met its obligations with America in the area of separation of powers. The government today is so divided along party lines that many things the American people want do not get accomplished. Important bills that our government has been arguing over for years such as health care have ....

.... emphasizes “if you tell a white broadcaster he talks black he’ll sign up for diction lessons”(543). Raspberry explains how many children think hard study and hard work are white (543). He tells how scrimping today in the interest of tomorrow’s goals is white”(543). Raspberry uses many of these comparisons in the essay. Raspberry talks about incredible array of habits done by different ethnic groups. He confesses “…black youngsters tend to do better at basketball, for instance, is that they assume they can learn to do it well, and so they practice constantly to prove themselves right (543). Raspberry emphasizes the importance of developing positive ethnic tra ....

.... and incapacitation. However both of these can be gained without the death penalty. There is no proof that the death penalty is a deterrent to criminals, and incapacitation can be achieved by sentencing offenders to life in prison. A common misconception is that executing an offender costs less than life long imprisonment. The cost of apparatus and maintenance of the procedures attending the death penalty, including death row and the endless appeals and legal machinery, far outweighs the expense of maintaining in prison the tiny fraction of criminals who would otherwise be slain (Draper 46). A report issued in1998 by the Judicial Conference of the United States found the c ....
