Sesxism
2045 Words - 8 Pages

.... between women's experiences in the nineties with Betty Friedan's, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to ....

Chief Justice Rehnquist, Justice Kennedy, Justice Scalia, Justice White, Justice Blackmun, Justice Stevens, Justice O’Connor, Justice Souter, and Justice Thomas. This case had been tried twice, in 1971, and in 1972 as well. The case “challenged the statute on a number of constitutional grounds, including equal protection of the law, due process of law, and the right to privacy” (Internet #1). The court voted 7 to 2 for the rights of Jane Roe. Justice Blackmun was the one to write the opinion formally for the court. He said that a woman’s right ....


USSR: The Doomed Empire
1105 Words - 5 Pages

.... into a game of tug of war between the two superpowers. Throughout the four decades actual combative war never broke out but in turn a similar game of chess was played. One country would move and the other would countermove. It was finally America that came out on top and the Soviet Union a collapsed failure, but not necessarily because the US was stronger and out muscled the Soviets militarily. The end of the Cold War was primarily due to economic factors. What America proved was that the economy works best when the government stays out and individuals within the society do the work.2 It is only the individuals within the society that truly understand what products are ....


Communism In The Soviet Union And Why It Failed
1531 Words - 6 Pages

.... Engels. They believed that communism is inevitable and is an outcome of the historical process. They believed that the "struggle between an exploiting class, the capatalists at present age, and an exploited class, the workers, would enter a crucial stage in the period of capitalism where industrialization occurs and that the effects of industrialization is to heighten and intensify the internal contradictions in capitalism." To put it bluntly they believed that the ownership of industry would be in fewer and fewer hands where the workers would plunge into a state of ever-increasing misery. These impoverished workers grow in numbers and organize themselves into a polit ....


Gun Control
2334 Words - 9 Pages

.... guns are diseases, but when one looks at the facts, though, the arguments of advocates seem irrelevant and it becomes clear that guns should not be controlled. The Supreme Court has been very careful in limiting the rights of individuals to carry firearms. They have also been debating about weather the framers intended the Second Amendment to apply to individuals, or to state militias. In U S v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) the court ruled that laws could be passed regarding . The court said “The right they’re specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that inst ....

.... as minister to Great Britain in 1853. As such, he, along with the American ministers to Spain and France, issued the Ostend Manifesto, which recommended the annexation of Cuba to the United States. This endeared him to southerners, who assumed Cuba would be a slave state. He was one of several northerners supported over the years by southern Democrats for being amenable to slaveholders' interests, a situation originating with Martin van Buren. Buchanan's two major rivals for the nomination, Franklin Pierce and Stephen Douglas, were both politically tainted by the bloodshed in Kansas. Buchanan was untainted, since he had been abroad during most of the controversy. Even so, ....


The United States Of America Vs. Richard M. Nixon
699 Words - 3 Pages

.... Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt-- District Court Judge John J. Sirica was convinced that pertinent details had not been unveiled during the trial and proffered leniency in exchange for further information. It became increasingly evident that the Watergate burglars were tied closely to the CIA and the Committee to Re-elect the President, some of Nixon's aides began talking to federal prosecutors. Due to the defection of these aides, the Senate established, in February of 1973, an investigative committee held by Senator Sam Ervin, Jr., to look into the growing scandal. Amid the disclosures of White House involvement in the Watergate break-in and its aftermath, N ....


Australians Against Further Immigration
2205 Words - 9 Pages

.... immigration drastically reduced to zero net. That is, out immigration numbers should merely replace those permanently leaving Australia each year - historically running between 20,000 and 30,000. At this policy of institutionalised, publicly funded multiculturalism should be scrapped. We are a non-racist organisation and attempts to convert the debate to one of race and emotion is a deliberate ploy to silence critics and avoid the real issues. We believe in freedom of speech. The philosopher Spinoza said, “In a free state every man can think what he wants and say what he thinks”. This should apply here to debates on immigration. We care about Australia and want ....
