complimentary to the surrounding homes and their needs. In order to begin
destruction of the property and begin rebuilding the site the Nollans had to
secure a permit from the California Coastal Commission. Upon submitting the
permit application, the CCC found that the permit should be granted on the

The Clinton Sex Scandal
Words: 4720 - Pages: 18.... even though
they can to a large degree set the news agenda. Media has expanded in its
presence, becoming widespread on the Internet, perhaps monopolizing the
domain, by becoming more powerful and more used than written, televised or
radio journalism. The Presidents' inability to control the press exposes
their vulnerability and tends to question the actual power they can
actually exert. All presidents, at some time or another, became frustrated
at what they perceived as unfair treatment by the press, even while
acknowledging its vital function in a free society, and many presidents
have been a part of a scandal.
The current Presidential sca .....

The Wonderful War On Drugs
Words: 1089 - Pages: 4.... On top of all that, there has been no real proof of a decline in drug use among people in America. Is this “war” really the best answer to America’s widespread drug problem? Should the government be allowed to spend billions annually fighting this hopeless war? Looking at this information you begin to realize that, not only does this “war” affect every person in the U.S., but it is also a war with no winners. War is never pretty, and the war on drugs is no exception. For this “war” to work it must stop drugs in at least one of three areas. Either by stopping drugs at the border, stopping drug dealers at home, or preventin .....

Unfortunately, some children are not able to receive this because of death, divorce, or abandonment, but some just miss out on this because of two greedy homosexuals who what to have their cake and eat it two.

Teenage Violence In Schools
Words: 1402 - Pages: 6.... the bad behavior. Failure to stop a child from doing something wrong could lead the child to believe that his behavior is acceptable. Also, a child thinks that the people that are supposed to love him don’t even care that he is doing something bad so he will continue to do it. Teenagers also commit acts of violence to get their parents’ attention. If parents ignore what their teenagers are doing, then the teenagers will continue to do more negative things just to get their parents to notice them. Another reason why family lifestyle is a cause to teen violence is, if the teenager is abandoned at a young age than there is no one to teach .....

A Senator's Pain
Words: 790 - Pages: 3.... contributes more to Smith's piece than
does the monologue by Elaine Brown entitled "Ask Saddam Hussein," because when a
Senator notices the reality of racism it seems authentic. Although both Bradley
and Brown give similar information it is ironic that a white Senator showed more
anger toward racism than the former Black Panther.
When Senator Bradley begins telling his story his he points out how our
society still has inequalities as he says, "I mean, you know, it's still...
There are people who are, uh, who the law threats in different ways" (Smith:
214). The following statements Bradley makes during his interview shows his

Why After School Jobs Are Beni

And shockingly enough it is possible to go for weeks without watching any television! Having a job has also taught me to respect authority. I have held jobs as a carhop, a waitress, and a grocery checker and sacker. Like most jobs that high schooler have, I am constantly around people. After being yelled at for undercooked steak or smashed bread, it is much easier to deal with rude people in other situations, I am much less likely to lose my patience and I understand t .....

TLO Vs. New Jersey: When Is The Constitution Invalid?
Words: 497 - Pages: 2.... school officials had the
right to search her purse because there was a reasonable doubt of her claiming
to innocence being true.
TLO's 4th amendment rights were however, in fact not violated due to the
reasonable cause and suspicion of her smoking, so the search was truly
reasonable. And there is the fact that the teacher caught her smoking.
Obviously it is the teacher's responsibility to take the student to the

whether or not she had been smoking, she said no.
The school officials then had a reasonable doubt, and they now had by
all legal means the right to sea .....
