Harris V. City Of Zion/Kuhn V. City Of Rolling Meadows
Number of words: 2104 | Number of pages: 8.... of America's own interests, but for something used to strike down and inhibit the free exercise of religion itself.
It is quite clear and has certainly been made quite clear by each of the city councils present here today, that there was no true emphasis on sectarian religion in either city. The designs of each emblem and logo have certain historical pretenses that explain the origins of each logo in question. Granted, the Zion city logo had certain religious intent, but as anyone can see by the testimony given by the mayor and city council members, the only reason it [the seals and logos] remained unchanged all these ye .....

An Ethical And Practical Defense Of Affirmative Action
Number of words: 1719 | Number of pages: 7.... on affirmative action (1), the main one being, that these
attacks are devoid of proper historical context and shrouded in white male
hegemony and privilege. Then, I will discuss the moral and ethical issues raised
by continuing to function within a system that systematically disadvantages
historically marginalized groups. With that as a backdrop, I will make a
positive case for continuing affirmative action programs and discuss the
practical concerns that continuing such programs may raise. Perhaps the biggest
complaint that one hears about affirmative action policies aimed at helping
Black Americans is that they violate the 14t .....

Housing Problem
Number of words: 698 | Number of pages: 3.... 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 affordability. It was consider affordable if housing cost no more than 20% of your income. Nevertheless, the standard has been reduced to no more than 40% until recently. Such dramatic change of the figure has made the goal become ambiguous. Practically, the government has tried many methods in deal .....

Gideon Vs Wainwright
Number of words: 1973 | Number of pages: 8.... is further obscured by the Fourteenth
Amendment which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States.” As a result, many
questions begin to arise which seek to determine the true right of the
accused to the assistance of counsel. Should legal counsel be provided by
the government if the accused lacks the funds to assemble a counsel for his
defense? Or, on the other hand, does this amendment set the responsibility
of assembling a defensive counsel on the accused even if he or she lacks
the funds to do so?
Also, do the states have the right to make their own .....

Development Of Major Political Parties In America
Number of words: 349 | Number of pages: 2.... into control during the Great
Depression when the Republican Policy was ineffective in relieving the economic
problems. The Democrats dominated for the most part through the 1960s. However,
the Republicans have won five of the last seven presidental elections. The
current President is a Democrat but it is not clear if the Democratic Party will
be able to continue to dominate. There have been 900 other "third" parties
throughout history but the Republican and Democratic Parties have remained the
leaders of the two party systems since 1854.
Realignment of the parties have occurred about every 30 years. The first four
were in 18 .....

Dispossable Animals
Number of words: 5500 | Number of pages: 20.... degree of unintentional support towards this global dilemma, but when compiled on paper one must question how mankind can, with conscience, commit these acts which shame us as human beings. Animals possess the same kinds of feelings and emotions as human beings, and without anesthesia, they are subjected to the pain as well. Mankind often fails to give animals the respect and rights they deserve, they are treated as lifeless, unfeeling scientific specimens and items that we may manipulate at our own convenience and for vanity’s sake. The Facts of Animal Tests - Laboratory research involving animals is cruel and merciless treatm .....

Barbie As The Epitome Of Beaut
Number of words: 508 | Number of pages: 2.... pink palace and riding her pink corvette with her molded man Ken. Barbie had taught me that every member of society was living this very same life. I have to question if the weight of responsibility for this beauty myth falls only on Barbie's tiny plastic shoulders? But of course not! To be fair, Barbie was not the only culprit, I can remember getting dolls whose main purpose was to remove or apply make-up, style hair, or spend fake money with a fake credit cards, as if that's all it meant to be a woman! Barbie had now redefined what is was like to be a feminine in our society. Although today I can see more of an ethnic variety w .....

Brief History Of The NRA
Number of words: 1629 | Number of pages: 6.... Act
The Brady Act was approved by Congress in November of 1993 and was then
signed into law by President Clinton later in the month. The act was originally
named for anti gun lobbyist Sarah Brady, and not for former press secretary Jim
Brady. It was through Jim Brady's support and the media coverage that linked
his name to the act. The act requires that there be a waiting period of five
state government business days at the time an individual applies to purchase a
handgun from a federal firearm license. During the five day wait, the local
sheriff or police chief must "make a reasonable effort" to see if the purchaser
is prohi .....

Justice
Number of words: 834 | Number of pages: 4.... because a police officer was shot
and the public was behind her. It was a case of public revenge where the mind-
set was "We're going to get the guy that did this horrible crime. It doesn't
matter that he was defending his home." This type of public revenge could
include the execution of Shively. No matter what verdict would have been
handed-down, someone, somewhere would have been unsatisfied. If Shively were
sentenced to be executed, then his family and friends would have had to fight
for justice until the day he died. As the verdict of "not guilty" arrived,
Paterson's family, many police officers, and friends of the fam .....
