Bias In Printmedia
Words: 874 - Pages: 4.... to women, V.N. says” uses statistics to give an estimation, “ an estimated 585,000 women do every year”. This article explains how pregnancy affects many women. By using this statistic, it gives the reader an approximation, but not an exact number. This is used to make the reader think that the statistic is very high. Another article in The Toronto Star, “Tamil health crisis probed”, on October 29, 1999,demostrates bias by saying, “ At least 70,000 people”. The article is talking about the Tamil community and how 70,000 people have been affected, but it does not give the amount of people in that community. This type of b .....

Capital Punishment
Words: 769 - Pages: 3.... largest, greatest planned amphibious attack ever. As for the assaults on the beaches, four of the five went pretty well. The Germans did not put up much of a fight and the troops penetrated Europe quite easily. However, down the coastline, a vicious battle was happening and history was being made. The Germans were putting up much more of a fight and the opposing troops were fighting just to stay alive. But with land mines and heavy fire from German machine guns this was not an easy task. Right when the ramp was lowered on the U.S. boats, troops were shot like dogs. Some jumped over the side looking to swim to shore, but the weight of their .....

At The Height Of His Career, W
Words: 517 - Pages: 2.... their language. No one seemed to understand why at the height of his popularity a twenty-seven year old rock sat would put a twenty-two gauge shotgun in his mouth and pull the trigger. The media attacked the incident. Every type of media from MTV to the entire local Newspapers spoke something of Kurt Cobain’s suicide. Some blamed the suicide on his unhappy childhood and how he was a Ritalin child. While others blamed it on his drug addiction that he had spent all of his young life trying to relieve himself from. But why the reasoning for the unpredictable suicide, Cobain left behind millions of fans asking why he’s gone. Why? Most pe .....

Capital Punishment Is Ineffect
Words: 3588 - Pages: 14.... is unacceptable. The most widely used argument in support of capital punishment is that the consequence of execution influences criminal behavior more effectively than imprisonment does (“Against the Death Penalty”). Although the argument may sound reasonable, in reality the death penalty fails as a deterrent. First, punishment can only be a useful deterrent if it is rational and immediately used. Capital punishment cannot meet those conditions. The number of first degree murderers who are sentenced to death is small, and of this group an even smaller number of people are eventually executed. Moreover, the possibility of increasing the .....

Pro Choice Among Women
Words: 1383 - Pages: 6.... never as a decision adverse to Pro-Life activists. Pro-Choice advocates seem to vindicate abortion, accepting that abortion is not considered a form of birth control, but merely a method of controlling the woman and fetus future. Women are the sole determinate persons in stating if they are capable of withholding a full term pregnancy. As an advocate of women’s right’s to Pro choice, I am extending my viewpoints to you in this proposition. Many people have their opinions on abortion, usually being one extreme or the other. Advocates or Pro choice often finds themselves swaying their opinions of when abortion is morally ethical dependent .....

Hammurabi's Laws
Words: 1238 - Pages: 5.... different degrees of penalties for robbery; none of them thankfully include death. Another example to illustrate the fact of the biasness of these codes is rule number 154:
“If a man have sexual intercourse with his daughter, he shall be expelled from this city”3
I do not think this punishment fits the crime. As stated before, the punishment for robbery is much harsher than for this crime. Incest only grants expulsion. To steal a tangible item and inflict fear, you die; to steal a girl’s innocence and dignity, inflict pain, hatred, fear, and just an overall tainted feeling, you get to start your life over in a new city.

Liberaliam
Words: 2242 - Pages: 9.... property, and that status is not a birthright but an extension of talent. Property also represented a very strong idea in the minds of many liberals. Davies concludes, "nineteenth-century liberals also gave great weight to property, which they saw as the principal source of responsible judgement and solid citizenship." (A History of Europe, p.802) However, property soon became defined as a natural right.
Davies expresses, "economic liberalism focused on the concept of free trade, and on the associated doctrine of laissez-faire, which opposed the habit of governments to regulate economic life through protectionist tariffs. It stressed the rig .....

The Effectiveness Of Local Crime Prevention Funding
Words: 636 - Pages: 3.... plan for federal funding of local crime prevention. That consequence was not by Congressional intent. For over a quarter century, the Congress has asked the Department of Justice to evaluate . But as the preceding Chapters show, the Congress has never provided the tools needed to get the job done. Those tools include adequate funding for program evaluation, and a structure of federal program funding that permits controlled testing of crime prevention effectiveness.
In order for Congress to learn whether DOJ programs are effective, it must provide a more balanced approach to program funding and evaluation. The latter cannot be accom .....

Bill Clinton's Election Will Brighten America's Future
Words: 348 - Pages: 2.... on protecting the earth. While Republicans argue that
legislative action will hurt business, it seems to me that they are not
looking long-term. Isn't protecting the freedom of future generations more
important than catering to the moneyed special interests of logging and
automobiles? Another issue Clinton will have more success in solving is
racial conflicts. As evidenced by the Los Angeles riots, racial tensions
run high in this country. Many African-Americans and Hispanics are
resentful of the white power structure, and are almost at the point of
doing something drastic to gain control. The Republican administrations
have basically .....

Words: 889 - Pages: 4.... had to pay back money that they did not have and Kuwait was responsible for
the cutback on healthcare and other vital services. Since Kuwait voted against
raising the price of oil, Iraq was unable to receive any revenue. It was
because of this that Iraq invaded Kuwait. The United States claimed that Iraq
was the aggressor. In the American media, Iraqi tanks were shown to enter a
defenseless Kuwait amidst destroyed buildings. The American public was
convinced that their troops were only there to protect and that Iraq was
harassing Kuwait. Iraq quickly retaliated with their own propaganda.
Hussein showed footage of the damage that the .....
