What Freedom Of Speech Means T
Words: 342 - Pages: 2.... the group of people have the right to express their beliefs. Also, freedom of speech means to me that America is one of the best countries that involves the people. There is not one person making all of the decisions for the American citizens, so it is possible to have numerous ideas in the government. People who voice their opinions can pursway the many government officials to change their positions on certain issues. If the United States did not possess the right to freedom of speech, then there would be hardly any reason for the government official to change his or her position on a certain issue. I believe that it is important for peop .....

Homosexuality Is Wrong
Words: 390 - Pages: 2.... less of an offense than a homosexual act. Lot was willing to sacrifice his own daughters to turn them around, but he did NOT accept homosexuality. Lot and his family escaped and the city of Sodom was destroyed by God the next day.
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.
The act of homosexuality can easily be compared to having sex with animals.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26 .....

Reforms Are Need In Canada's Government
Words: 2992 - Pages: 11.... expect anyone to vote on a document that
contained so much more than simply the issue of Quebec sovereignty? Ironically,
hidden deep within "The Charlottetown Accord," was the opportunity for Canadians
to make a difference; to change the way the government ran, giving less power to
the politicians and more to the people. This was the issue of Senate Reform.
Why is Senate Reform such an important issue? An argument could be made that a
political body, which has survived over one hundred years in Canada, must
obviously work, or it would have already been reformed. This is simply not true,
and this becomes apparent when analyzing the curren .....

Affirmative Action: Opportunities Of Character, Not Color
Words: 818 - Pages: 3.... college campuses. Supporters of
affirmative action believe that minorities are still disadvantaged and that
it is "absolutely necessary to level the playing field" (Wilkins 334).
They believe that minorities will never be given a fair chance at college
unless diversity is forced upon the campus. Proponents also argue that
affirmative action is the best solution to past discrimination and color-
blindness, and that without affirmative action the gaps between our races
will never close.
Although these arguments may have positive aspects such as creating
a multicultural campus, affirmative action's many faults cause more
problems th .....

The Supreme Court has long recognized that the institution of marriage is one of the rights guaranteed to all Americans by our Constitution. On the Internet, you can find the full text of the following Supreme Court cases. In the case of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court said, “The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.” In the case of Cleveland Board of Education v. LaFleur, the Supreme Court said, “This Court has long recognized that freedom of personal choice in matters of marr .....

The Writing Of The Federalist Papers

Constitution, place each of the basic powers of government in a separate branch. The legislative power vested in Congress, the executive power in the president, and the judicial power in the Supreme Court and other federal courts. The legislative branch creates laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch interprets them ( Janda 72).
Madison felt that an important aspect of Separation of Powers is that the power of one branch should not be exercised by anyone who also holds a position in another bra .....

Martin Luther King Jr. Vs Malc
Words: 2211 - Pages: 9.... haunted by this early nightmare for most of his life. From then on, he was driven by hatred and a desire for revenge. The early backgrounds of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were largely responsible for the distinct different responses to American racism. Both men ultimately became towering icons of contemporary African-American culture and had a great influence on black Americans. However, King had a more positive attitude than Malcolm X, believing that through peaceful demonstrations and arguments, blacks will be able to someday achieve full equality with whites. Malcolm X’s despair about life was reflected in his angry, pessimistic .....

The possible physical damage that could be done if human cloning became a reality is obvious when one looks at the sheer loss of life that occurred before the birth of Dolly. Less than ten percent of the initial transfers survive to be healthy creatures. There were 277 trial implants of nuclei. Nineteen of those 277 were deemed healthy while the others were discarded. Five of those nineteen survived, but four of them died within ten days of birth of sever abnormalities. Dolly was the only one to survive (Fact: Adler 1996). If those nuclei were human, "the cellular body count would lo .....

The Future Of The GOP
Words: 1115 - Pages: 5.... Well, that’s about all. So, I guess we’re all ready to start this voyage.
Unfortunately, there are many problems that are, in recent times, plaguing the nation. First thing that you’ll notice is a large growth of unnecessary government spending. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, our national debt has now reached over $5.5 trillion, is increasing at a rate of nearly a billion dollars a day, and has gone up over 1.5 trillion just since Clinton took office. This works out to each citizen owing nearly $25,000 a piece! Where is all of this money going to? Well, that’s the next attraction on our trip…
