.... are many different things that cause stress. One may be if you have a big term paper due and you want to do your best to impress your seminar leader. Another may be peer or family related. All in all it is things, events, situations, and people that cause stress. It is how we perceive them that will determine whether or not stress will be a result from the encounter. Not only negative situations are the cause of stress. Joy and happiness can also cause stress even though they are positive. In a sense, it is we then who choose our own stressors. Selye noted that with the absence of stress there is death. Current researchers are .....

.... How could NAFTA have such a devastating impact on American workers? In 1993, the year before NAFTA was passed, the U.S. had a $1.7 billion trade surplus with Mexico. This means that Mexicans were buying more American goods than Americans were buying from Mexico. After NAFTA, however, the situation was reversed. American business fled to Mexico in search of lower wages and lax labor and environmental regulations. They produced goods in Mexico to sell in the U.S. Our trade surplus with Mexico became a $16.2 billion dollar trade deficit. Due to this trade deficit, the U.S. has lost over 250,000 jobs. When workers lose their jobs .....

.... point clear to the audience in order to make a difference in the debates. The debates are a time to show the audience the flaws the other candidate might have and to also show them the good things that you may have to offer them as their president or vice-president. Dole is the major republican candidate for president. One of Dole's major plans in his presidency, if he is elected, is to cut taxes and balance the budget. This is a very hard thing to do, but it is a good aspect of Bob Dole. He also has a goal for a plan of economic growth. I myself like the aspect that Bob Dole as a republican is against abortion. I t .....

.... and Nathaniel Hawthorne thought. Benjamin Franklin's ideas begged to differ. He felt as though the democratic community and growing the ideology of individual advancement (Individualism and/vs. Community, 1306) could coexist together. Franklin, having risen from poverty, felt that he wouldn't have been able to be a man of such distinction if it had not been for Government that encouraged the advancement of self. He felt that without a Government no one man could be content with themselves or their works. He even goes as far as to promote America to foreigners in one essay. He says that "Strangers are welcome, because there i .....

.... knowledge, and technology to help keep us safe and healthy (FDA), employed (AFL), living in a clean environment (EPA), and to allow us to hold on to more of our money (ICC). If all of our is given up, then we have lost the meaning for which the pilgrims sailed to America. To go somewhere where they could think for themselves and not be told what to do or how to live. If we gave all of our , then we would no longer be a Democracy. We would live in a nation where we are told what is best for us and what we should and should not do. We would all be treated like children and the politicians and the rich would become the arist .....

.... 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 trend in federal spending in a state may be different from a particular agency's pattern of spending. Some states may get very little overall federal funding, but may get much more than the average amount of money from a certain federal agency's grants. American state-level politics can be .....

.... moving them to a new duty station several times and spending lots of time away from your family. The military has shrunk since 1986 due to the draw down yet, it has experienced a fourfold increase in the number of deployments. This has increased responsibility and stress on the soldier. I believe that the soldier is underpaid when compared to the private sector. They deserve annual pay raises that at least match the average American's as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics" Employment Cost Index. The government should also have a "catch-up" raise to close the pay gap. The Army does provide lots of extra benefits othe .....

.... 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 passed instead of a government caught up in gridlock. In the government today, getting re-elected is the main concern of our Congressmen. Therefore, their first priority is not always what is best for the country or for their political party. Instead they will ask, "what will get me re- .....
