.... laws were in some instances, implied and were not clearly defined. Even though these laws existed, their failure to describe themselves left some shortcomings in the way they were interpreted. Laws that pertained to people of lower than equal status, such as women, were even more vague and ambiguous. It was this ambiguity that made it difficult for women to advance in society. The earliest known written law was from Mesopotamia under its king Hammurabi1. These laws were written on eight foot slabs of concrete and were explicitly defined. These laws that pertained to men, as well as women were laid out in a fashion that made .....

.... then plan when we would have children. However, until we did decide to have children we agreed that contraception would be used. The discussion we had on which topics which couples should agree upon was filled with lots of disagreements. We agreed that couples should agree on topics such as issues concerning the children, and major career decisions. We began to disagree on the issues of finances and the distribution of housework. I felt that I should handle all the money as well as do my share of the housework. Laura however, felt that she should be in charge of the money and that I should do all the housework. In t .....

.... be far away from the people and that a small number of representatives would lead to the election of the wealthy and well known, and that would lead to a national power. Madison one of the many Federalists stated that in a small republic, tyranny could be much easier to accomplish since it would be easier to dominate others, unlike in a large republic which is made up of many views. Madison also said, “The more the people the less chance of bribery and inducement.” Another benefit of a large republic is that there would be a variety of people representing them and there would be many candidates to choose from, ensuring the .....

.... national studies homeless children aged 16 and under, somewhere 41,000 and 106,000 children are literally homeless at any given time” (36). Homeless meaning they live in shelters, churches, or public places with no permanent residence. “Between 39,000- 296,000 are precariously housed, meaning they live with either relatives or doubled up with friends” (38). Why are poor families with young children poor? It is believed that children are poor because their parents are poor. Child can only be reduced by attacking the multiple causes of family . “Children under the age of six with single mothers are much more likely to b .....

.... people who want to prevent , is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the victim does everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential victim feels. Just as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the victim wishes the same. To die in peace with no argument from others. The argument of "look at the people you will hurt" also does not hold. Imidiate family members will be the only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with thier lives and in time forget about the death. Imidiate family too will forget the loss in time .....

.... by zoning are phenomenal. In many cases the taxes rise depending on how property is zoned. For example, if property is zoned as commercial property the taxes are considerably higher than if property was in a residential area. Consequently the minority here is being punished. More permits must be acquired and plans must be approved before anything can be done to ones own land. Zoning was voted in by the majority, however the minority’s rights were not completely maintained. People need to maintain certain basic rights, and these rights pertain to what they may do to their property. Justification of how the gove .....

.... though he married Daisy. No one objects to this because of his old money status. On page 19, Jordan Baker informs Nick of this scandal, "Why- Tom’s got some woman in New York." Jordan also informs Nick of the commonality and wide acceptance of this fact. Tom’s mistress, Myrtle, despite her status as a lower class citizen, tries to pressure him into leaving Daisy. Tom refuses because marrying into a lower social class would develop into even more of a scandal than having a mistress. This corrupted American dream prevents Tom from openly allowing Myrtle into his life. Old money’s highly discriminating nature allows its membe .....

.... When do they stop censoring, and how do they decide what is obscene? "The equation is simple: Those who have power get to censor, and those who lack power get silenced. If you find yourself in a position to demand and get censorship, you can be sure you are among those who have the power, and you are acting to oppress others." (Avedon Carol: BM FAC, Ph: (0181)552-4405) Another reason against censorship is that the Internet is a responsibility. Although a large percentage of the material on the Internet may be harmful and inappropriate, adults should be able to decide what they are exposed to, and parents have the responsibility to .....

.... state of Georgia. That sounds like a whole lot of incentive for young adults to make a 'B' average in school. I just don't understand why North Carolina does not have the same incentive for our children. To keep the college student a good student, you must also keep a 'B' average in college to keep your scholarship. Georgia has given more than 1 billion dollars toward college bound students since 1993 (HOPE scholarship 1). North Carolina has no programs of this sort. Two years after starting college, HOPE recipients have a higher G.P.A. (grade point average), and have earned more credit hours than their counterparts who do not have .....

.... freely represent individual thoughts, feelings, and views, in order to protect their families as well as others. These groups, religious or otherwise, believe that publishing unorthodox material is an abuse of free expression under the First Amendment. As we will come to find, our Supreme Court system plays an exceedingly important role in the subject of free speech and expression. As well as, understanding that the court system is the nucleus of the construing our First Amendment rights. First we must focus on the motivation and foundations behind these individuals attempting to challenge the right to free speech. There are .....
