Imperialism
Words: 4860 - Pages: 18.... between imperialist powers generated tension, especially between Britain and Germany, which would eventually contribute to the first world war?
My opinion is that is a natural phenomenon occuring in social species. I mean, look at ants... they'll take over other nests and steal the eggs to eliminate competition and give themselves a boost. It's survival. Humans are that way, only more complex and less instinctive. That in no way makes right... but it does remove some blame from Europeans. The world powers had a "right" to take the land because they said that they did, and back then, as now, supreme rule makes the rules. Also, they .....

Pro_choice Among Women
Words: 1616 - 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 .....

Asthmatic children are especially at risk. Exposure to secondhand smoke increases the number of episodes and severity of symptoms in hundreds of thousands of asthmatic child .....

The Factors That Gave Rise To Japanese Militarism
Words: 585 - Pages: 3.... education system indoctrinated students in the ideas of
nationalism, loyalty to the emperor and traditionalist ideas of self-sacrifice
and obedience. Thus ideas that were originally propagated to mobilize support
for the Meiji government were easily diverted to form broad support for foreign
militarism. Japanese society also still held many of the remnants of feudal
culture such as strong confusion beliefs that stressed support for social order
and lack of emphasis on individualist values. These values taught obedience not
to a democratic but to the emperor; so the fact that the militaristic government
of the 1930's ruled under the emp .....

Propaganda In Elections
Words: 548 - Pages: 2.... "all American boy" from the Heartland. In this two examples the
plain folk device is at work.
When either presidential candidates agitates the public's fear of
immigration, taxes, or crime and voting for him will reduce the threat he is
using the Fear Appeal. By playing on the public's deep-seated fears,
practitioners of this technique hopes to redirect the merits of a proposal and
towards steps that can be taken to reduce the fear.
Propaganda has had a tremendously powerful role in the history of the
world and in our own development. It has stirred both men and women to
unprecedented feats and ruined reputations.
What comes to mind when .....

Drug And Alcohol Abuse
Words: 1004 - Pages: 4.... human life. These manufacturers sell the drugs that pollute and corrupt our society without shame or remorse and should be severely punished.
I believe another way to limit the manufacture of drugs is to make a college education easier to achieve, therefore making honest, lucrative careers more obtainable. The state of Missouri should lower the cost of tuition in its colleges and universities and raise the amount of state money in the areas of financial aid, grants and scholarships. While this measure will contribute to a loss of state money, I believe that it will also save money by keeping potential drug manufacturers out of the jail c .....

spending back on Congress. He would now have the ability to cut out
appropriations that would add to the national debt. while still passing the
bill. The President would ultimately be responsible for which bills do and
don't get passed. Lots of Americans today believe that we have a "do
nothing" congress that refuses to address the nations major problems. The
Congress has a hard time getting bills passed through the President unless
he agrees with every line of the bill. If we passed the line-item-veto
bill this would save a lot of time and money. We would see many more bills
getting pas .....

Arguments On Desegregation
Words: 926 - Pages: 4.... against desegregation was the perception that blacks were not as intelligent as whites. Since the Fourteenth Amendment did not guarantee the right to a quality education, if a school chose not to accept them, there was nothing that could be done legally. Long after the "separate but equal" doctrine became law, it was clear that blacks were indeed separate, but they were not equal. Segregation still had a firm hold in the areas of public education, public transportation, hotels and restaurants, hospitals, housing and departments of the United States Government (Stephan 7). An example was the case of McLaurin v. Oklahoma Board of Regents .....

U.S. Criminal Justice System
Words: 1001 - Pages: 4.... was designed such that a decision of whether a person is
guilty or innocent will not fall only into one individual's hand but a group of
people. This feature gives the U.S. criminal justice system a lot of strength in
a way that in order for 10 people to agree on a person being guilty or not, the
court must supply sufficient amount of evidence so that no one will be punished
by mistake. Moreover, since the jury selection is done so secretly and strict
that it is not possible to judge any one in court in the favor of any side, it
is the decision of the jurors who were selected from regular citizens to find
any guilty or innocent. How .....
