Doing It Publicly
Words: 783 - Pages: 3.... young adults who are learning about morals and our society. In a letter to the corporate CEO's distributing these programs, William Bennett and Senator Joseph Lieberman asked: "Would you want your young children to view a program showcasing the sexual adventures of a 14-year-old girl who married her 71-year-old foster father"(Flint and Wharton). To those who do not tune into these shows this discription may sound like an exaggeration; however, it is not. This is exactly the type of topics on some shows. Not only are half the shows ridiculous with topics of deceit, revenge and "extreme behavior", but some of them are false(Flint and Wharton) .....

Talk Shows In Society
Words: 892 - Pages: 4.... shows, but with a different style and format. Some of the talk shows on the air today, such as the Oprah Winfrey Show and the Montel Wiliams Show are focused on improvement of society and the quality of life. They focus on topics such as children, the workplace, everyday life and sometimes have interviews with respectable celebrities. You can catch shows with titles such as “Teaching Your Children Responsibly”, or “How to Manage Your Work Week”. These shows actually educate people and teach the child right from wrong. They also have shows exposing things such as child or spousal abuse and make people aware of these dangers. People .....

Pros And Cons Of Judicial Review
Words: 1015 - Pages: 4.... Court to translate
the Constitution who then, should the people chose to do such an important job.
If we were to look back at the ideas and thoughts of some of the
greatest political thinkers of our time, we would find that individuals such as
Plato, Niccolo Machiavelli, and John Locke, would share extremely different
views as to whether or not Judicial review, and the Supreme Court as a whole,
would be successful in their ideal government situations.
One of the earliest political philosophers Plato, would find our
present day governmental setup of the Supreme Court to be the ideal group to
deal with the United States' situation. Pl .....

Lesbian By Choice
Words: 632 - Pages: 3.... of those
above women, some admitted to having sexual
encounters with other women. I believe the choice
is heavily tied to our culture, family values, and
surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming
upstream, why would you want to go against your
group and swim downstream?
Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes
reference to two groups. There are many lesbians
that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand
on this subject, one would say these women never
questioned their sexual attraction. From day one,
they were attracted to other women. Although this
is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t
believe it al .....

The Canadian Senate
Words: 193 - Pages: 1.... fine without the Senate. Just get
rid of it, and have the governor look at the bills closely before he signs them.
Just in case the governing party try's to pass a bad bill.
Or it could be changed, have less senators that aren't paid as much. Or
change to an American Triple E type of senate. Which stands for elected,
effective, and equal. The Senator should be elected by the provinces and have a
limited time in the Senate. This would make the Senate much more effective and
fare.
If the Senate continues as it is right know people will get more and
more frustrated with it. And soon they wont want it at all. Which probably
wouldn' .....

Words: 1701 - Pages: 7.... dose of medication to a patient who has less than six months to live. As of April 1999, 23 patients were given the drugs under the statue, and 15 of them used the drugs to commit suicide. A report released by the Oregon State Health Division found that the law was working well and had not been subject to abuse (REED A9). The word Euthanasia originated from the Greek language: eu means “good” and thanatos means “death”. The term euthanasia normally means that the person who wishes to commit suicide must initiate the act (WORLD BOOK). However, some people define euthanasia to include both voluntary and involuntary termination of l .....

The Need For Affirmative Action
Words: 656 - Pages: 3.... laws. The claim is
that these programs distort what is now a level playing field and bestow
preferential treatment on undeserving minorities because of the color of
their skin. While this view seems very logical on the surface, I contend
that it lacks any historical support and is aimed more at preserving
existing white privilege than establishing equality of opportunity for all.
Just looking at the history of this country should provide a serious
critique to the idea of a level playing field. Since the birth of this
nation, Blacks have been an enslaved, oppressed, and exploited people.
Until 1954, when the Supreme Court handed down Brown v. .....
