... is simple. Racists from many years ago raise their kids in clans and white supremacy groups and teach them the ways of hatred. These kids grow up "brain-washed" that black people are their enemies and, taught by example, will continue this trend (The Volume Library; 1988). The Ku Klux Klan has been around since the end of the civil war. It is a roller coaster of a history. From extreme power, to rapid decline, and slow reemergence (Software Toolworks Encyclopedia; 1992). The clan, who is notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was formed from some veterans from the confederate a ...

... the impoverished. Both sides in this case could present reasonable arguments that the text of the amendment itself proves their respective opinions. I also refuse to guess what classifications the writers of this amendment intended to ban by granting equal protection to all Americans. In my opinion, the only way to answer this question is by deciding whether contemporary values require us to make accommodations for people who can not afford the monetary costs of covering appeals. The courts have throughout the years given new interpretations to old documents based on changes in society. After giving much thought ...

... districts.� They were called “hetaerae� which meant “good friends.� They provided only royalties of entertainment such as music, dance, and so on, and they hardly provided sexual services. They are very different from what we call prostitutes today. However, as the time passed, non-religious related or non-royal prostitutes appeared. These prostitutes were the same as the ones today. They provided sexual services to customers and earned money (“Prostitution� 669). Now in America, there are almost 2 million prostitutes, and “prostitution is an estimated $20 billion industry� (Sion 1). ...

... of failure later in life. Many people loose their focus. A wise man once said, “Dreams are what life is made up of.� This statement is true in the sense that if you have dreams you have something to look forward to; something to focus on; even something to live for. Knowing that you are a VIP is important in the decision-making process. To accomplish your dreams, you must first face adversity in the eye and conquer your fears. For me personally, training to be a lawyer will take time and commitment. I must constantly look at where I am now and evaluate where I need to go from here. There will never be ...

... why do the police exceed the parameters of their power and authority? This is an issue that is predominant in urban settings, but not exclusive to these settings. This is an important issue because it effects all people. The police is a government service to all people, but all people do not feel they are being serviced. Not everyone is satisfied with the conduct of the police. Why do people feel that police are crossing boundaries that they should not be? This will be observed from four different aspects in which police are capable of exceeding the parameters of their power and authority: police and use of ...

... glorified? Do we glorify boxing (most of the time bloody shows) because it is entertaining, or maybe because it is a multi-milion dollar business? The scenery of boxing is broken bones, black and blue faces, blood...The more severe the fight the more exited and happy the audience seems to be. Violence simply stimulates people. Big glory comes when one passes out! YES...here is the hero! What is the message here? It is, we will like you more since you are physically stronger, and we will respect you because we are afraid of you. That is again, a wrong message. Violence is glorified the most throught medi ...

... Peter Singer, who is a utilitarian. A utilitarian is someone who believes the greatest amount of good for the greatest number. Singer wants the suffering of animals to be taken into consideration. He states “If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration. No matter what the nature of the being, the principle of equality requires that its suffering be counted equally with the like suffering...�. What this means is that the suffering of animals is not justified. He also states how he thinks a major way to stop the suffering of animals is to sto ...

... civilization, and certainly since the founding of the United States of America. Theories suggest that even the primitive caveman was very loyal and respectful to his particular family unit. People of our time have followed these beginnings of the ideas of family values and citizenship up until the present day. Today however people are more diversified and separated in their ways but they all share similar values of the family. A nation, being of mostly socially compatible people, functions in a similar way as a family. The nation selects its “national family values� by legislation which becomes law. Civil ...

... that were based as powerful as the law in our very own society. Four separate levels of social standing were used with an additional class outside of the system. This class was the "untouchables," the lowest of class with no power what so ever. Working its way up from servants to peasants, warriors and the last and most powerful being priests and royalty. The Hindus set up their city so that the most powerful (priest) would be closest to the center of the city nearest the temples of worship. Each step down lived farther away. A common rule for many civilizations and religions (although not as strict in others) ...

... that unusual circumstances in Ancient Egyptian culture provided for women to be given equal status to their male counterparts: notably, matrilineal inheritance and emphasis on the joy of family life over maintaining ethnic purity. Legally, women in Ancient Egypt held the same legal rights as men. A woman could own property and manage it as she saw fit. One example of this, the Inscription of Mes, provided scholars with proof that women could manage property, institute litigation, and could act as a witness before a court of law. Surviving court documents not only showed that women were free to take action with th ...
