.... of Independence as justification that slavery was wrong. The delegates of the women’s rights convention at Seneca Falls in 1848 interpreted that Jefferson applied that “all men and women are created equal.” The subject of equality has been under debate since the settling of the colonies and continues today. How can this country be a superior world power but still try to live by the belief that “all men are created equal.” Although some people truly felt that this nation must have a social hierarchy in order to stay competitive with foreign powers, in the nineteenth century many people began to express their concern that minorities and women weren’t allow ....

.... it is logically correct to say that only the rulers could act justly in this example for they are the only ones that contain wisdom. When considering an unjust part of the soul in order to rule it inappropriately and we look at part of nature suited to be a slave. There is a meddling between the parts and is therefore considered unjust. So then it is logically impossible for all groups to be linked to the virtue of justice when one member of one of the four virtues has the potential to act unjustly. A harmony or moderation must be achieved for justice. Yet those ion the elite are at extremes and contain all four virtues. This is contrary to nature and because of thi ....

.... a Halifax hospital, a white woman is given compassionate care, but a black man’s medical problem gets short shrift”. The article describes a case in which a black man was in need of urgent medical help. Because of his race his case was not given top priority. It was later mentioned that his medical condition could have resulted in death. The issue of racism is certainly not new to the Halifax area. In the 1960’s blacks were ordered out of their village, and in 1980’s Sikh immigrants were called ‘trash’ and told to ‘go home.’ I found the author’ s choice of words quite appropriate when she described the ‘people of the east’ in Halifax, Nova Scot ....

.... underclass unemployment and alternative lifestyles have contributed in the downfall of families and moral values. The nation and state have done little or nothing to provide help rebuild families and values. Family value has reference to what we believe about the family. It's concerned with quality of living and how you define quality of living. It basically gets down to what you think is the most important, in other words what you value. "Family values is nice when you've got Ward and June and Wally and Beaver. Unfortunately, the world has changed quite a bit from the 1950s to 1996. Things have just changed so rapidly and so quick…" (Anderson) Th ....

.... that people think will influence others; especially children. The freedom of speech and freedom of the press, are right guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Certain groups and individuals continually challenge them. They seek to block what is considered bad from others view. They want to protect their children from bad things and surround their life with only the good. comes when Samuel L. Clemens better known as mark Twain is considered to be a racist by some his well know novels The word censor comes from the Latin censere, which means "to count," as well as "to assess" or "estimate." Censorship is the control of communication between people. It' ....

.... laws, which have begun to take part in the Congress and state legislatures, have come under attack from conservative polititians. Affirmative action, for example, wich has created an increasingly diverse workforce, has also been a victim of strong criticism. There are several minority groups which have been the most affected, and are frecuently being denied of their unalienable rights written in the above statement of the Declaration of Independence. Within these we find several that will be discussed in this proyect: blacks, American Indians, Latinos, Asians, women, and homosexuals. These groups are faced with strong discrimanting issues every day, and as long as our soc ....

.... One may see all these things as good; and indeed it is good . . .to a certain extent. What one does not realize is that during all this progress and the melting away of the ignorance something else happened. Something far more sinister lurking just behind all the good Western Civilization brought with it . . . . .LOSS OF CULTURE. During this period we lost our identity almost entirely. We became like the characters of the novel "Animal Farm" who hated the humans and all they that they did but after they chased them out and became their own masters they adapted all the same customs that the humans had had. We rejected Europe's influence because we gained indepen ....

.... the beginning of television. The first mention of a concern about television's effects upon our children can be found in many Congressional hearings as early as the 1950s. For example, the United States Senate Committee on Juvenile Delinquency held a series of hearings during 1954-55 on the impact of television programs on juvenile crime. These hearings were only the beginning of continuing congressional investigations by this committee and others from the 1950s to the present. In addition to the congressional hearings begun in the 1950s, there are many reports that have been written which include: National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence (Bak ....
