.... Another important issue which crops up is the composition of the force. It is generally agreed that the United Nations would play a major role in peacekeeping. Yet, there are a variety of political components at play, and there has been tensions due to NATO's military mission, as well as Russia and China's ambivalent role in all of this. How all of these factors play out will essentially affect the peacekeeping efforts by the U.N. In examining the potential for the U.N.'s presence in the region, the political implications as well as the reasons for the war in the first place, are all important. First, an in depth look at the confl .....

.... out of a war in which he felt was very unnecessary. DeWitt held every major elective office in New York between 1797 and 1828--assemblyman, senator, mayor of New York City, lieutenant governor, and governor. He was a philanthropist and patron of the arts and science and, as canal commissioner, championed construction of the Erie and Champlain canals The method in which these candidates received nomination was by the Electoral College, or by King Caucus. The idea of political conventions had not been present at this time. There were no third-party candidates in this election. The major issue of this election was the War of 1812. The War .....

.... recent Gallop Poll from January, 1996 showed the budget as the #1 concern among taxpayers, but 4/5 of those interviewed said they doubt the GOP will do the job (Holding 14). Meanwhile, an ABC poll from November reported that over 70% of those polled disapprove of the current performance by Congress, and most blamed politicians for failure to take action (Cloud 3709). These accusations of failure to follow through come with historical proof that Congress and Clinton have failed to compromise and resolve the issue. After all, current budget plans are dependent on somewhat unrealistic predictions of avoiding such catastrophes as recession, nati .....

.... the court cases are longer and much more time is spent on each individual part of the case, from presenting the evidence to cross-examination of the witness, this is because of the amount of information involved. The general atmosphere and behaviour in the Provincial Courtrooms were general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, even while the court was in session, the defence lawyer asked if he could persuade the judge into a lighter sentence after the judge had already made a decision in a very easy and friendly tone of voice, something seemly unprofessio .....

.... so quickly that many people were worried that they would not have any home or shelter. The law first started in the big cities. The hospitals gave lessons to the young couples about birth control. They also explained the good things about having just one child, such as lower costs for the family, and a population stabilization. At first, some people misunderstood the law. They thought they could be put in jail if they had a second child. This misinterpretation caused many people to use any way they could to hide or get rid of a second child. However, now everyone knows and understands how important that law was. Some of the young co .....

.... had escaped from British oppression, the struggle for justice was far from over. Social problems existed in our society that had never been predicted by Washington or Jefferson. Slavery, for instance, became more and more a controversial issue until finally, it led to a civil war within the less than united States. In 1861, the southern states seceded, and a war was fought between the rebels and the Union for four long, bloody years. However this battle did not end without a gain, for in 1863 President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves. Even after slavery was lifted from America’s moral back, the movement .....

.... their ideas to match their needs. Though the generations represent two totally different aspects of American culture and history, their revolutions with sex, clothes, and music will serve as foundations for future generations to come. As the years go by between generation and generation, one facet has remained a controversial topic, sex. The invention of the birth control pill allowed women in the ‘60s to feel a sense of sexual freedom and allowed them the opportunity to be with anyone they pleased. With this new found freedom, women and men were able to enjoy each others company and not have to worry about the risks of child birth as well .....

.... As the people of Cuba grew increasingly dissatisfied with his gangster style politics, the tiny rebellions that had sprouted began to grow. Meanwhile the U.S. government was aware of and shared the distaste for a regime increasingly nauseating to most public opinion. It became clear that Batista regime was an odious type of government. It killed its own citizens, it stifled dissent. (1) At this time Fidel Castro appeared as leader of the growing rebellion. Educated in America he was a proponent of the Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He conducted a brilliant guerilla campaign from the hills of Cuba against Batista. On January 1959, .....

.... entitled to decent and affordable housing. Housing is a necessity and everyone needs a place to live. It is for this reason that government set its goal to ensure everyone is living in housing of adequate quality at a price they can afford. However, the government has turned into wrong definition of decency and affordability. Firstly, decency is subjective according to different cultures. I think that the Canadian government is setting a very high value on living environment, and such a high standard may cause more difficulties in solving the problem. Secondly, Canadian government has continuously reduced its standard in defining affordabil .....

.... National Rifle Association, better known as the NRA, argue that the "right To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere. However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns. In 1988 there were 9000 handgun related murders in America. Me .....
