Death Penalty
Words: 1024 - Pages: 4.... The is not racially or gender bias, much to the contrary of what the affirmative team believes. The fact is that men commit more crimes, so they will be convicted at a greater rate then women. The ratio of men to women on death row and executed is 68:1 or 3400:50 (NAACP Spring 1996). From 1976-1994, men committed 7 times as many murders as women or a 7:1 ratio (Sourcebook ’94). Therefore, it may be statically shown that men are, by a 70:1 ratio, more likely to be on death row then are women. Like gender bias, racial bias is nonexistent in the rulings involving the . Whites represent 56% of those executed, and blacks 38% (NAACP Summer .....

Affirmitive Action
Words: 278 - Pages: 2.... imposed on them by businesses and educational institutions due
to the cries of racism and sexism in standards by advocates of AA. Ernest Van
Den Haag put it best, when he declares that. " Affirmative action has done as
much injury to black scholars as to black students." Isn't it time to return to
hiring people on individual merit, and return the millions spent on Affirmative
action. That money could be better spent on bringing minority and female
applicants up to standards. I believe the most qualified person should be
awarded the job, regardless of race, ethnicity, or disability.Affirmative action
policies do not benefit those who .....

The Importance Of The Bill Of Rights
Words: 295 - Pages: 2.... Bill of Rights warrants basic individual liberties which are an undeniable standard of the proper protection of human and civil rights even now. But some sceptics maintain that this act did not enshrine the liberties of the Americans because some groups were outside the system of protection. However, we must keep in mind that the amendments were ratified over 200 years ago and they simply did not intend to protect all the inhabitants of the new-born United States.
Similar regulations were commonly met in other countries' legal acts of the time. For example, in the Polish Constitution ratified in 1791 only the nobility had all the civil ri .....

The Government Should Make Use Of Revenue Sharing
Words: 620 - Pages: 3.... state and local bureaucracies must understand the federal
rules and requirements for receiving federal aid. Some states routinely
receive a greater amount of federal money than other states with similar
populations due to the differences in state bureaucracies. The state which has
an effective grant-writing bureaucracy and maintains relations with federal
bureaucrats and leaders is often able to get more money.
Federal bureaucracies are often very regionalized. They are staffed by people
from a certain region, and they primarily deal with people from that region.
They give more federal assistance to these regions too. The overall tre .....

Was Khruschev's Foreign Policy Successful?
Words: 847 - Pages: 4.... and neutralisation of that country. In July Khrushchev and Nicolai Bulganin met with the American, French and British leaders in Geneva. The meeting yielded a few concrete results, but it did not provide an impetus for the policy Khrushchev was calling “peaceful co-existence”.
Although certainly not insignificant, these episodes proved to be islands of co-operation a sea of confrontation. They did not prevent hardening of Europe’s division into Eastern and Western Blocs. The Soviet reaction included organising the Warsaw pact, the Moscow dominated military alliance that after 1955 stood opposed to Nato across Europe.

Accountability Of Our Government
Words: 2892 - Pages: 11.... "The government must be able to control and protect its own
membership to be able meaningfully to accept responsibility for its direction
and impact as a government." Without accountability we are left with a powerful
political structure that has the ability to act without conscience or redress
and this does not represent a modern democracy. With any discussion which
focuses on responsibility within parliament, one can see the varying levels of
accountability and the difficulties which arise when attempting to describe
power, within the Canadian political system. Accountability in the public
service can be studied from two different pe .....

Impact Of Abuse

questions her father. It is an example of this mistrust as well as the
confusion which goes through a childs mind.
Since I was a little ten-year-old child, I had to deceive and hide from
the world and my mother that my father took a sexual interest in me.
Remember how you taught me that art of deceit? First you put me in a
situation that had to be kept a secret then you pledged me to secrecy...As
a ten-year-old child, what was I supposed to do? You are an intelligent
man you figure out the options available to a ten-year-old in that
position." (Rush, 1980)

The abused will feel tremendous guilt for .....

other rights of the citizens. Second, the society created under the
Articles of Confederation lacked a means of advancing commerce and
interstate trade. Third, government lacked the money and power to provide
an adequate national defense.
Traders and commercial men found their plans for commerce on a
national scale impeded by local interference with interstate commerce. The
currency of the states and the nation were hopelessly muddled. Creditors
everywhere were angry about the depreciated paper money which the agrarians
had made and were attempting to force upon those .....

From China comes the following observation. "Still in the streets an occasional old crone hobbling around on her miniature bound feet was a relic of the pre-Revolutionary, almost dead past. I also heard an echo of that past in a silk thread factory in Wuxi, China. A woman member of its Revolutionary Committee was introduced to me as a ‘veteran worker’. The description astonished me because she looked so young. On inquiry I learned that s .....
