The Immigration Problem
... (Hernandez A1). Today, immigrants are lucky to cross the boarder
without being shot--God forbid they become citizens.
Contrary to what many believe, many immigrants are not here to become citizens.
Many wish to stay for a short time and then return to their home. In fact, many
immigrants are reluctant to become legal. Many harbor hopes and dreams of
eventually returning to their friends and family back home. Then there are the
distinct few who do not wish to decide, and would like have "dual citizenship."
To be loyal to more than one country, to vote in both countries, and to travel
back and forth easily (Limo ...

Bulldozing Our Past
... filled with drug
dealers, prostitutes and vagrants. After living in the house, a large,
two story, Victorian style, for over 60 years, the home had decade into a
large pile of rubble with no windowpanes, massive foundation problems and
filthy conditions. The Houston Historical Society had enforced a multi-
million dollar order to refurbish the district. Unfortunately, they were
not going to grant the owner’s of the elderly woman’s rental house
government money to improve the home. Why? Well, the owner’s of the home
were not financially in the poverty zone. They actually were making above
$35,000, which ...

Different Images Of The Wife Between Sixteenth Centuries And Today
... about roles".
The first different image is that many wives liked to live with their
husband together in sixteenth centuries. In "The Taming of the shrew", Katherine
needed to live in the Petruchio's house. When she pointed out the mistake to her
husband, her husband would call her who came back to their home. We can see that
the respect of Katherine " Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, and be
it moon, or sun, or what you please." 1 In fact, she needed her husband to
support her life. If Petruchio didn't support her life, then she couldn't live
only herself. Oppositely, many wives have their ...

Treatment Of Women In Voltaire's Period
... treated the women in Voltaire’s period was so deplorable that women could not do anything that they wanted to do. Their level of education was poor. Despite the fact that the Baron had tutors, in the sciences and philosophies, the women in the household were not entitled to any sort of training or education by the philosopher Pangloss. They were not formally taught and if they wanted to learn things, they would have to go to private tutoring without the knowledge of the Baron.

The Increasing Prison Population
... 5.1
million adults were under some form of correctional supervision two years
ago. That is more than the population of Wisconsin.
The number of state and federal prisoners has more than tripled since 1980,
due in large part to a national wave of tough anti-drug laws. While those
laws removed thousands of drug dealers from America's streets, they also
created a huge and rapidly growing industry funded by American taxpayers.
The private sector is heavily involved in prison management, and prison
privatization is one of the country's hottest industries. Some companies
manage entire prisons, while others specialize ...

Social Structure And Its Role In Society
... whole. Each group behaves according to the roles of the other two groups, thus forming a chain. The administrators are there to govern the school, and to ensure a proper learning environment for the teachers and students. Teachers perform their duties by educating the students and providing proper methods of learning. The student's role is to learn from the teachers and become well educated.

The Right To Life
... wanted an abortion and was not legally permitted to have one
where she lived. She could not afford to travel elsewhere to have it "preformed"
so she went to court. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court said that it was
legal for any woman to have an abortion and terminate her pregnancy at any given
time. The Roman Catholic Church has said that abortion is murder and violates
all terms of human morality. My personal opinion lays between that of the Roman
Catholic Church and the Supreme Court. I believe that a woman should have the
right to an abortion only if she was raped and can not afford to have the child,
or if ...

Appearance Vs. Reality Of Modern Music Affect On Teenagers
... subject to power corruption but so is the "rock star". This is the
important thing to remember when dealing with the subject at hand.
There are many reasons why teenagers cling to "rock stars", but there
are always more popular reasons than others. One main reason that this occurs
is because of the accessibility of what these "rock stars" are publishing.
Think of all the things that teenagers have in front of them day-in, day-out;
radio, television, clothes of peers etc. All of which are covered with popular
musicians. So if they are so accessible then most people are aware of this so
they start to pay attention ...

Violence On Television
... behavior" (Methvin, 49).
Given that the majority of scientific community agrees that "the research
findings of the NIMH publication support conclusion of a causal
relationship between television violence and aggressive behavior" (Wurtzel,
21), why is it that "the Saturday morning "kid vid ghetto" is the most
violent time on T.V." (Methvin, 49), and that "despite slight variations
over the past decade, the amount of violence on television has remained at
consistently high levels" (Wurtzel, 23)? Why is it that, like the tobacco
companies twenty years ago, the present day television broadcasting
companies refus ...
