... treat people as groups or individuals. Affirmative action is a question of morals. The simplicity to form two morals that are both correct but conflicting is the reason for the division of our nation on affirmative action. Affirmative action is very noble when looking at who benefits from the outcome. Take a closer look at affirmative action. The people that are involved and the damage it takes on our society surfaces many doubts. Taking a closer look also stirs up a question of nobility that needs to be answered before making a decision on affirmative action. Does affirmative action simply change who is discriminate ...

... seeds of bitterness were planted. The burning of his house by the Klu Klux Klan resulted in the murder of his father. His mother later suffered a nervous breakdown and his family was split up. He was haunted by this early nightmare for most of his life. From then on, he was driven by hatred and a desire for revenge. The early backgrounds of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were largely responsible for the distinct different responses to American racism. Both men ultimately became towering icons of contemporary African-American culture and had a great influence on black Americans. However, King had a more positive a ...

... is the least of their worries (Evans and Wekerle, 1997: pgs. 45-57). The Canadian welfare state began to decline during the reign of the Mulroney government during the early 90's; with economic crises arising on a daily basis, the government decided to cut social spending and instead focus their energies and resources on combatting recession, labour market restructuring, and the deficit. The transformation and "reform" of the welfare state has huge implications on the lives of many women, and not only those who are dependent on welfare for their livelihood. Welfare, especially women's welfare, encompasses a ve ...

... every state furnished men for the other side, there was little doubt that more Federals than Confederates "crossed over." The South had superior officer personnel. For twenty years before Lincoln's inauguration, southern officers had dominated the U.S. Army. Another source of southern confidence was cotton. Secession leaders expected to exchange that staple for the foreign manufactured goods they needed. The South's most important advantage was that it had only to defend relatively short interior lines against invaders who had to deal with long lines of communication and to attack a broad front. The ...

... that protection What gun control advocates can't perceive is that gun control laws are aimed at the legal buying and selling of guns. What person who plans on using a gun for illegal purposes would go through the legal process of having the gun registered to themselves? Not too many. Most guns obtained by criminals are not obtained through the lawful purchase and sell transaction. The government is aware of this. All the gun control laws are not about preventing crime. Law abiding citizens who are armed will prevent crime. You can hire all the police you want. They do not stop crime while it is happening. Armed ...

... all individuals. Furthermore, the right to vote, mandatory education and justice are all active elements of the Canadian democracy. Is Canada, thus, utilizing democratic principles to its utmost capacity? Many critics believe that this is not so. They point to the evident economic inequality that prevails in Canada and many other democratic countries. The argument that surfaces is that a country simply cannot be truly democratic when large economic disparity and inequality exist. (Chomsky 1994) A known phrase from the American Declaration of Independence states that ‘all men are created equal.’ This stateme ...

... re-election�. (Latham, pg. 11) His portrayal of Communism as the supreme evil allowed his accusations of “disloyalty� to be incredibly effective. “He was a master of the sound bite, and played the press like a harp�. (http://www.dimensional.com/%7Erandl/mccart.htm)McCarthy did not create the communist problem, but he exploited it shamelessly for political ends, accusing the Democrats in general with baseless, sweeping, shotgun allegations. Senator Joseph McCarthy came into conflict with the State Department, President Eisenhower, and the Army in the 1950’s. This conflict was not for any high moral stan ...

... effects often cause the weaker nation to grow stronger. Even when a country feels they must rebel against their suppressor, they gain a sense of nationalism and independence, resulting in a more distinct culture than before. Why then, should a country have to withdraw from such interference? Another argument could be that only when needed, should a country be involved with anothers affairs. Yet with this point of view most would agree that there would be too much diversity in opinion when deciding exactly when help is needed. Also, countries such as Japan would never have developed, whose primary success was ...

... for estimated fetal deaths ranging from 19,000 to 141,000, for 1,900 to 4,800 deaths during or immediately after parturition, and for 1,200 to 2,200 death from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (7). Maternal smoking has been implicated in long term deficits in infant mental development and adverse behavioral problems in children such as attention disorder. Nicotine crosses the human placenta and has direct effects on the developing fetus. Pre-clinical studies suggest that maternal smoking during pregnancy produces changes on the offspring's neural functioning, including reductions in uptake of serotonin, alterations in ...
