... of President Nixon role in the 1973 Watergate scandal, (burglars broke in to the National Democratic Headquarters.) Richard Nixon resigned from office, his resignation August 8th due to proof on the following charges including obstruction of justice, abuse of presidential power, and the refusal to obey house subpoenas. Did Richard Nixon resign because he knew that he lost the faith of the Republican Party and most important of all, American people? The American people felt that they were lied to, because of the President denying all charges brought against him. Nixon did the right thing by stepping down and l ...

... and government authorities. Their new techniques are market-censorship (dominating the marketplace), constituitive censorship (the control of language), power-knowledge (restricting knowledge), as well as the traditional regulative censorship (law). These new forces can be as equally effective as the forces of remote history. We notice the effect of post-enlightenment civilization as early as the nineteenth-century in the great Russian humanist Aleksandr Herzin. Herzin left his native country in protest of Czarist censorship only to feel "profound disillusionment with the extremely narrow limits of permission impose ...

... The girl is given dolls an d doll clothes to dress them up in. Even going further, eventually the boy may play with Legos and Lincoln Logs and the girl gets a PlaySchool oven and a plastic tea set with which to play house. Sounds pretty normal right? Why? As illustrated in the not-so-fictional scenario above, begins very early in life. Society has accepted such stereotypical things as baby boy blue and baby girl pink to help identify the sex of a child. Heaven forbid the little Joey looks like a girl or b aby Michelle is mistaken for a boy. Mothers and fathers make it easy for everyone to distinguish their bundl ...

... get hurt, they would need some way of paying for their recovery. In addition, if the athlete were permanently injured they would need some way of supporting their family and themselves. Mike Modano, the center for the Dallas Stars, has temporally been injured and probably will not be able to play hockey for the rest of the season. Also a reason why I think professional athletes should receive such high salaries is that the athlete will not be playing the sport that they play for the rest of their life. Most athletes retire after the age of forty. And if that person does not have any skills, other than sports, the ...

... the year 2002, the U.S. Government would have the first balanced budget since 1969. There is doubt by citizens that a balanced budget will become reality. A 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 ...

... is very untrue. is based on the premise that most drug offenses are committed by minorities. Because police look for drugs primarily among African Americans and Latinos, they find a uneven number of them actually in possession of contraband. Therefore these people are arrested, reinforcing the idea that drug trafficking is primarily an Latino or African American thing. At the same time white drivers receive far less police attention, many of the drug dealers and users among them get away. This just feeds to the perception that whites commit fewer drug offenses than minorities. This often results in the persecuti ...

... make it essential that a child knows who their birth parents are. If an adoptees considering starting a family and needs to know his or her chance of passing on a genetic disease, the identity of his or her parents must be revealed. Also if an adopted child would like to know his chance of developing a hereditary disease that will not show effects until old age, he will need information from his biological parents. In the case of rare blood diseases or a needed organ transplant, an adopted child knowing who his real parents are could save the child’s life. An adopted child should have the right to access know ...

... under. This plan was known as the Articles of Confederation. This document would give arisal to a new type of legislative body, but many problems would soon follow. This Congress was too inefficient and clumsy to govern effectively. It had no independent income and no authority to compel the states to accept its rulings. It couldn't levy or collect taxes. It could pass laws but could not enforce them. In short, this Congress was nothing more than an unrespected child trying to get attention. On the contrary, the only possible good thing that came out of Congress during this time was the Northeast Ordinance. ...

... not something that was considered and then chosen. For these women, there was no decision to be made regarding their sexual preference (Marrow, 1997). This is an interesting figure when you consider of those above women, some admitted to having sexual encounters with other women. I believe the choice is heavily tied to our culture, family values, and surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream? Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. ...

... the government turned peaceably inclined men into controllable machines. Thoreau saw how the government dealt with its citizens as only a body, while completely disregarding the sense, intellect, and moral beliefs of its people. In his essay “Civil Disobedience,� Thoreau stated that “a government ruled by majority in all cases cannot be based on justice.� He further believed that “under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also prison.� This point made by Thoreau can be seen as the truth throughout history. A just man never sits by quietly watching the majority degra ...
