... of the American principles. His views were not met with unanimous applause from the American people. He battled against an equally strong constituency – the slave owner's and their presidential candidate, Judge Douglas. Abraham's grounds for the abolition of slavery were based on the words that were scripted in the Declaration of Independence and the meaning of those words as they related to American citizens and the celebration of the 4th of July. Many American's argued that the Negroes were not entitled to the same rights because they were not legally citizens of the United States of America. Th ...

... We are being treated like recalcitrant teenagers by those that think they know what is best for us, regardless of our feelings. Generally, it is later discovered that the proponents of these kinds of controlling maneuvers had something personal to gain. Be it power, control, money, sex or property. Those that wrote this bill, pushed for it, bargained away our rights in order to trade favors for something of their own, should be scrutinized closely, in every aspect of their own lives. If we continue to demonstrate, to march, to speak out, to make our voices and our wishes heard, maybe-- just maybe, the wi ...

... the biggest complaint that one hears about affirmative action policies aimed at helping Black Americans is that they violate the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and the Civil Rights laws. The claim is that these programs distort what is now a level playing field and bestow preferential treatment on undeserving minorities because of the color of their skin. While this view seems very logical on the surface, I contend that it lacks any historical support and is aimed more at preserving existing white privilege than establishing equality of opportunity for all. Just looking at the history of this count ...

... of tax payer dollars to investigate Paula Jones, one of two or three women whom claimed to have sex with the President of the united states. At this point in the show he was just poking around to see if he could find an impeachable offense, even though way back then people said that there wasn’t the two thirds needed to do so. Evdently, Kennith Starr took it upon himself to spend millions of tax payer dollars to investigate Paula Jones, one of two or three women whom claimed to have sex with the President of the united states. At this point in the show he was just poking around to see if he could find an im ...

... privilege that are not material, but are equally as important, are justice and piece of mind. Unfortunately, these two privileges are likely to be less attainable to the lower class. Wealth and privilege seem to go hand in hand in today’s society; great advantages come with being wealthy. For example, material items are abundant for people with money. Wealth allows people to own anything they desire, from finest clothes and furnishings to the automobile of their dream. Those who posses these items are already at an advantage, they have what the latest magazines say you need and what everybody else wants. I find it ...

... organizations believe that free speech is a right and it will be taken away by censoring the Internet. Does freedom of speech include pornography and “obscenity�? Some argue that obscenity is a matter of opinion and it cannot be defined. The truth is that it has been defined by the Supreme Court, and in 1957 in the Supreme Court case of Roth v. U.S. the Supreme Court decided that obscenity was “outside the protection intended for speech and press at the time during which the First Amendment was written.� (Roth v. U.S., 354 U.S., 476) Therefore, the First Amendment does not protect it. So what about the childr ...

... with moderate alcohol intake appears to be confined to adults over 60 who have risks for heart disease. Adults who drink moderately (about one drink a day) have a lower mortality rate than their non-drinking peers, their risk for untimely death increases with heavier drinking. Alcohol may not cause cancer, but it probably does increase the carcinogenic effects of other substances, such as cigarette smoke. Daily drinking increases the risk for lung, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, urinary tract, liver, brain cancers, and leukemia. About 75% of cancers of the esophagus and 50% of cancers of the mouth, and throat ...

... Sometimes, Robert watches his peers to see whether or not what he is doing is right; as shown in Kates letter "B" lesson on 3/7. Robert has shown that he enjoys Tyler's company in Lindsey's nursery rhyme lesson on 3/14. In Katie's lesson on 3/14 Robert shows that he also enjoys Justin's presence as they danced together. On 3/14 Robert also shows that he likes parallel play when he says no to Kate when she asked him if she could play blocks with him. Robert only speaks to the teachers when he is asked a question or when he asks a question. He doesn't tend to seek approval from the teachers or his peers. Overall he se ...

... to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condem ...

... show us why we have a system to provide organization, authority, and protection. Hobbes first points out that we always do what is in our best interest, whether it be killing an intruder, lying in order to gain an advantage over another person, or worse, all of which add up to a state of continual war, fear, and chaos. Similarly, in the sense that we do what is in our best interest, Hobbes says that at one point in time we decided to voluntarily and mutually transfer our rights to another person or group in an attempt to get out of that miserable state of war. Hobbes also contends that if there is not a power to keep ...
