Abortion
... no
more risk to the mother. Then, she can try an have another baby if she wishes.
Poor women are more likely to have more abortions than that of the middle, or upper
class. Poor women don’t have the financial means to take care of the child, therefore abortions
would help them. Also, a lot of the poor women already have children to take of, and adding
one more would greatly burden the already financially troubled parent. Again, allowing them to
have an abortion would help them. Once the fetus has been aborted, then the parents can
concentrate on their other children.
Teenagers are more affected by ...

Homosexuality
... claim that there are several million homeless people; however, recent studies suggest that the homeless number from 600,000 to 700,000. Exact numbers are impossible to collect because researchers define homelessness in different ways and because the homeless are transitory. The number of people predicted to become homeless in any given year is estimated to be three to five times the number of people who are homeless at any given moment. The US Census Bureau attempted to count homeless people in the 1990 census. However, most people consider this attempt as a failure. The homeless population is largely made up of a ...

The Vote To Breakup Quebec And Canada
... professor, and had led a
ponderous campaign, since his Parti Quebecois (PQ) won provincial power 13
months earlier. The No side, led by provincial Liberal's leader, Daniel
Johnson, was winning, with warnings of a slump and heavy job losses if
Quebec broke away.
On October 9th, Mr. Parizeau, realizing that his campaign was
failing, handed over leadership of the separatists cause to Lucian Bouchard.
Bouchard was head of the Bloc Quebecois (BQ), a distinct, federal level
party which swept[t the polls in Quebec in the 1993 federal elections, and
whose 53 members in the Ottawa parliament are second in numbe ...

Labor Union History In Califor
... inspired workers every where to fight for living wages and reasonable working conditions, and it proved that poor people can claim their rights when they organize and speak in one voice. In a word, labor unions equal POWER. But it didn't start with Chavez. In 1894, California held its first strike organized by San Francisco and Sacramento Carpenters who pushed for a whole sixteen dollars a day. Well, they settled for fourteen. However, a year later the first official union was organized in California, the San Francisco Typography Society. Formed by printers at the Alta California newspaper, the San Francisco Typogra ...

Nuclear Power For All
... at us?” asks Kent Harrington, a former CIA Intelligence Officer for Asia. “I don’t think today, we can reach that conclusion. But we need to talk to them about it now, to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future” (Waller). This effort of the Chinese now seems more like an attempt at intimidation than one of simply becoming equal to the other nuclear super powers.
The idea behind China’s recent frenzy to get all the weapons and technology available is for them to be able to elevate themselves to the level of a major world power. As stated by Mao Zedong, “The atomic bomb is not so big, but if you d ...

Animal Rights
... they have many other ways to find out if it harms the human race. The testing that goes on is harmful to the animals and can cause serious side effects. The cosmetic companies hold down bunnies in vices and spray the cosmetics into their eyes to see if it causes them redness, stinging, or even blindness. They also have baboons strapped down with their heads in vices to do certain tests on them. Animals are also used by pharmaceutical companies to produce drugs and health supplements. They estimate that 17 to 22 million animals are used each year for medical research, and these estimates do not include rats, mice, fis ...

Same-sex Marriage
... one of these rights being marriage. If it is proven that there is indeed a gene that causes homosexuality, than we can draw a parallel between not allowing homosexuals to marry and not allowing blonds to marry. This is why it is of great importance to public policy whether or not homosexuality is predetermined. Some now believe that homosexuality is genetically predetermined by a gene on the X chromosome. If this is the case, then gays cannot decide their sexual orientation, for it is predetermined. Hence, not allowing those who are genetically inclined to prefer the same sex to marry leaves homosexuals ...

Fascism As Opposed To Communism
... God. Hitler wanted the world. The government in
Russia established by Lenin was based on a book called Communist Manifesto
by Karl Marx, a call to the proletariate to unite and rebel against their
selfish employers. It is my belief that Lenin had entirely good reasons for
doing as he did, and felt he was helping the world as apposed to Adolf
Hitler. Immediately after Lenin's death, a man very much the same in nature
as Hitler, Stalin, came to control the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a
civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations
soon to be in control of two very similar governments. ...

Government Funding For The Arts
... buildings which we design, as a whole, explains
our culture. Future historians will look back at these things and judge us by
our accomplishments in these areas. When we look back in history, we recall it
through the greatest past achievements in art: the Sistine Chapel, the great
pyramids of Egypt, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and the works of Plato.
Shouldn't we be able to show feats just as grand?
Most Americans do agree with me. In 1992, a study called the "Americans
and the Arts VI" was conducted; it ended with these results:
* 60% of the people support the federal support of the arts.
* 6 ...

The Importance Of The Bill Of Rights
... of Rights warrants basic individual liberties which are an undeniable standard of the proper protection of human and civil rights even now. But some sceptics maintain that this act did not enshrine the liberties of the Americans because some groups were outside the system of protection. However, we must keep in mind that the amendments were ratified over 200 years ago and they simply did not intend to protect all the inhabitants of the new-born United States.
Similar regulations were commonly met in other countries' legal acts of the time. For example, in the Polish Constitution ratified in 1791 only the nobility ...
