Words: 1997 - Pages: 8.... the victim can make the report three different ways. First, the victim can call 911 to report a stolen vehicle.

Gun Control - A Firing Issue
Words: 1334 - Pages: 5.... should not be controlled.
Gun ownership by private citizens is protected under the 2nd Amendment. It states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.†The forefathers of our country meant for the people to own and use firearms, and any law or control on that right would be unconstitutional. Gun control activists essentially believe the Second Amendment guarantees only to its militia the right of arms, but the “Gun control proponents have yet to identify even a single quote from one of the founders to support th .....

is wrong because it is often used unfairly. Economist magazine states that even though women commit twenty percent of the homicides in the United States, women are rarely sentenced to death and executed (27). The poor and friendless defendants, those with inexperienced or court-appointed counsels, are most likely to be executed. For example, Orenthial James Simpson had the money to afford the best lawyers and was “guilty as sin,” but he was acquitted. According to Alison Coope, a disproportionate number of nonwhites are sentenced to death. A .....

The Push For Legalizing Marijuana
Words: 1652 - Pages: 7.... set of valued and lifestyles associated with it, but use appeared in colleges and among middle-class youths in the suburbs (Himmelstein 103). Marijuana became a so-called culture, and rebellion towards the government.
However, President Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs in 1973 and over the next 20 years, each succeeding president continued to escalate the drug war. This policy has obviously done nothing to stop the recreational use of drugs in this country; on the contrary it is causing great harm. When most people imagine the legalization of marijuana, they fear a marijuana free-for-all with everybody constantly getting high. Legal .....

Capital Punishment
Words: 2571 - Pages: 10.... membership and even to life. A community founded on
moral principles has certain requirements. The right to belong to a community is
not unconditional. The privilege of living and pursuing the good life in society
is not absolute. It may be negated by behavior that undermines the nature of a
moral community. The essential basis on which community is built requires each
citizen to honor the rightful claims of others. The utter and deliberate denial
of life and opportunity to others forfeits ones own claim to continued
membership in the community, whose standards have been so flagrantly violated.
The preservation of moral community demands th .....

Reviving The Death Penalty
Words: 1750 - Pages: 7.... to carry out the executions of those sentenced to
death. Capital Punishment is the lawful infliction of the death penalty. In
England, by 1500, only major felonies carried the death penalty: treason,
murder, larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. The American colonies adhered with
Englands' view on the death penalty, for there was little they could do about it.
However in the 1750's reform movements spread through Europe, and in 1847 they
reached the United States. In 1847, Michigan became the first state to abolish
the death penalty for murder.
Beginning in 1967, executions were suspended to allow the appellate
courts to decide whether t .....

It has been shown through recent lawsuits brought about by career smokers that the corporations did in fact know about the addictive properties of the nicotine and refused to inform the public. Magazines, newspapers and billboard owners should be held accountable for promoting these types of products and are just as guilty as the cigarette manufactures themselves.

Legalization Of Marijuana
Words: 956 - Pages: 4.... nationwide.
There are so many reasons for legalization other than just the medical capabilities, which have not yet been fully explored because of bans. The illegal running of marijuana would be halted instantly. All of the dealers would be put out of business. Most of the dealers have double income because their profit is created by trafficking marijuana plus most of the dealers receive a welfare check. The welfare check, alone is not enough to support their lifestyle. This would require dealers to get jobs. This would boost the economy by having more workers. Once these people got jobs, they would have sufficient income to be taken of .....

The Misconception Of The Death Penalty
Words: 897 - Pages: 4.... the innocent and the inhumanity of the punishment are more valid reasons to not have the death penalty.
Today's system of capital punishment is filled with inequalities and injustices. The commonly offered arguments for the death penalty are filled with holes. Defenders of the death penalty have said it is a deterrent, removes killers, is the ultimate punishment, is biblical, satisfies the public's need for retribution. It has also been said that it relieves the anguish of the victim's family. Realistically, imposing the death penalty is expensive and time consuming. Retroactively, it has yet to be proven as a deterrent. Morally, i .....
