... school's purpose is to educate, not to be a fashion parade. The students get used to wearing the school uniform and just don't really think about it and just get stuck into their schoolwork. Having a uniform makes everything easier because nobody can really complain as they all have to wear it. Everyone wearing the same uniform allows students to be easily identified. If everyone was wearing different clothes, nobody would know where a student was from.

These gr ...

However, more recently than now Republican-controlled Congress, with the backing of the NRA, has reignited that battle with plans to repeal the Brady Bill. The second amendment to the constitution guarantees Americans the right to keep and bear arms without government interference. gun control advocates seem ready and eager to disregard this right which is currently being exercised by 70 million Americans. (METSKA) I believe that the governments struggle to keep guns out of the hand of juveniles and criminals is a ...

... families which I believe is filial piety. As I believe that filial piety is the common thread that runs in every Chinese family. I am fully aware that my study of filial piety does not apply to every Chinese family, so I can only say that I am sure filial piety endures in different forms, having been infiltrated through many generations and eroded by different events. In order to make my stand, I will be exploring the traditional meaning of , if and how various incidents may have impacted .

... counts. A writer can manipulate the reader into thinking that the results are very high or very low in some cases. In The Toronto Star on October 23, 1999, the article “ Pregnancy biggest threat to women, V.N. says� uses statistics to give an estimation, “ an estimated 585,000 women do every year�.

Chief Justice Rehnquist, Justice Kennedy, Justice Scalia, Justice White, Justice Blackmun, Justice Stevens, Justice O’Connor, Justice Souter, and Justice Thomas. This case had been tried twice, in 1971, and in 1972 as well.

A woman was expected to be home whenever her husband was home (Bringa 87-8).

... even more was that Davis had been in and out of prison his whole life and was still free to kill again. Soon people began calling for laws that would put repeat violent offenders behind bars for life. The premise of the new laws became an easy issue for politicians to back. To oppose such legislation seemed to be political suicide, so most politicians backed the initiative. Although many civil liberties groups opposed such mandatory sentencing measures there was little they could in the face of tremendous voter approval. Many voters did not realize that this bill could put potentially incarcerate people for l ...
