Advocating The Death Penalty
... murderers from ever committing the crime. Unfortunately, the death penalty is currently used so rarely that it isn’t nearly as effective as it could be. In order for it to work, we must put it into practice more often. In recent years, crime in America has been on the rise, in particular, violent crime. This has led not only to an overcrowding of prisons in our country, but also to an increase in the number of death sentences handed down by the courts. Despite the fact that the number of inmates on death row is climbing, the number of death sentences actually carried out in any given year lags far behind. Pe ...

seek to make most firearms accessible only to law enforcement and the military
("CSGV" 1). In the middle there are organizations such as the American Firearms
Association, who seek compromise regarding our rights (Lissabet, "Return" 2).
Some organizations that one would expect to participate in this debate are
noticeably quiet. One such group is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In "The ACLU on Gun Control", the national ACLU policy is neutrality (1).
All factions in this debate have some merit, some more than others. All use a
mixture of facts, ...

Did The Congress Made Amendment 14 To Punish The South?
... vote, its representation shall be reduced. This is obviously hurting
the southern states since the southerners didn't want the freedmen voting, they
would be losing their representation in the House. However, for this to be
effective, the person must meet the current voting requirements.
Paragraph 3 states that People who have been in rebellion are ineligible
for federal and state office. In other words, if you were a military or
political leader for the Confederate States of America, than you can't hold any
United States, or individual state office. This is punishment to those leaders
of the Confederacy who ha ...

Live Together Before The Arrma
... would you? You would be testing the car before you buy it, wouldn't you?" However, this is presumptuous, naive, and wishful thinking. There is often one person in the relationship who doesn't think in terms of a permanent, lifelong relationship. Thus, cohabitation often lacks a common purpose and has less benefit because it is not romantic. There are no lasting responsibilities. And it results in a rate of higher divorce. First of all, cohabitation is not romantic and may kill true love. Those who live together are likely to have a fleeting romance rather than a lasting relationship. A romance is not the same as ha ...

What Is Love?
... be quantified through measurements. Pulse and breathing rates, muscle contractions, etc. Love cannot be charted or measured. Anger and fear have a definite roll in human survival: fighting or running. Love does not. And since it is possible for humans to mate and reproduce without love, all the swooning and sighing is beside the point. Up until the past decade, serious scientists assumed that love was all in the head. Now the research has become more intense. This may be because of the spreading of AIDS and that casual sex carries mortal risks. Others point to the growing number of female scientists and suggest that ...

Rebellious, Risk-Taking Youth
... the 5th grade are most likely to smoke in the 12th grade. Targeting smoking in high school students is important since studies have shown that adolescents who smoke daily in the 12th grade are likely to become established smokers as adults. Results of the study, published in the March issue of Preventive Medicine, show a strong association between rebelliousness in males in the 5th grade and daily smoking in the 12th grade. For example, the most rebellious males were three times more likely to become smokers than the least rebellious males. Risk-taking most strongly correlated with smoking among females, the invest ...

The First Amendment: Sex, Laws, And Cyberspace
... the book. Sex, Laws, and
Cyberspace addresses the legal issues and ethical debates surrounding the
worldwide growth of the Internet. The same qualities that make these networks
invaluable--low cost worldwide reach, lack of censorship, interactivity, virtual
anonymity, and the ability to carry huge amounts of data, text, images, and
sounds--also makes them dangerous. The pressure on the government to regulate
the Internet is tremendous, and the implications of their judicial and
legislative decisions will be far-reaching. Sex, Laws, and Cyberspace examines
these battles and includes interviews with key playe ...

Diplomacy At Work
... eyes of Morgenthau, is fourfold. First of all, diplomacy must
take in respect the objective and the means by which it can be attained. For
example, if a weak nation is trying to use diplomacy, it must first determine
how much power it has in relation to the country it is dealing with, and if it's
goals are attainable with that amount of power. Secondly, Morgenthau says that
a nation must also take into respect the power of the other nation and the goal
it is trying to reach. Basically, all he is saying is that a country must also
take into interest the objectives and capabilities of the opposing nation.
Thirdly, ...

Pros And Cons Of Judicial Review
... by the Supreme Court as a "living" document that is able to be
translated differently over time for the good of the people has as many skeptics
as it does supporters. But, if we do not allow the Supreme Court to translate
the Constitution who then, should the people chose to do such an important job.
If we were to look back at the ideas and thoughts of some of the
greatest political thinkers of our time, we would find that individuals such as
Plato, Niccolo Machiavelli, and John Locke, would share extremely different
views as to whether or not Judicial review, and the Supreme Court as a whole,
would be successful ...
