... you would have easy access into the next apartment. Desolate lots surround the homes. These projects were made with catwalks giving them the jail appearance. There are no playgrounds or community activities for the children. There are no signs of grass because grass was never planted. The people dwelling in these developments have no sense of pride in their community since its appearance is rundown and nothing is kept up. The cracks in the basketball court's cement have weeds growing out of them; proving the unkempt conditions. The children don't ever see anything more than the long strip of housing developm ...

... tried to attach Ireland to the kingdom of England. He established control in a small area around Dublin known as Pale. Over the next four centuries this area was the beachhead of the kingdom of Ireland, adopting English administrative practices and looked to England for the protection and leadership. Numerous attempts were made to have English rule over the rest of Ireland, but the major expansion did not take place until the sixteenth century. For the Irish clans who disputed the rest of the Island with each other, England became a threat to their sovereignty and customs. By the end of Queen Elizabeth's re ...

... must, therefore, regulate economy so that one class does not overrun the other. “The real struggle is over a vastly more important issue: who owes what to whom. This most hoary and basic of all social debates usually afforded reverence and inattention of great art: People know its there and mostly they ignore it�(Wines238). Society will constantly debate this issue. By very definition, however, there will also always be a wide spectrum of opinions because of social status. Naturally, the poor will always feel cheated because they feel as if opportunity never has and never will pass them by. The rich, conve ...

... nuclear power plants core to overheat were due to a few overlooked problems that were not taken care of. The Chernobyl Nuclear power plant used steam as a coolant, where water is a better coolant than steam for it also acts as a moderator, and second, it was found that the reactor’s emergency cooling system was disabled. These lack of actions lead to the catastrophic consequences at the Chernobyl power plant. If I were in the same position before the accident, I would’ve made sure that the minimum amount of control rods were being in used considering the dangers of the reactor and their radiation ...

... people to call him that, he was actually great warrior on the field of battle…and he was well over 6 feet tall. And Hannibal showed us that elephants couldn't fly, but they could climb mountains. Unfortunately, none of these men were as successful as Julius Caesar, and France's own mighty giant Napoleon Bonaparte. Well, maybe they were…I don't know, I was only covering Caesar and Napoleon. Napoleon Bonaparte's success as a military leader and conqueror can clearly be seen in Julius Caesar. Caesar achieved great glory by bringing his country out of turmoil, as did Napoleon. Looking to the past, Napo ...

... and Delaware, all of which involved the same basic question: Does the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment prohibit racial segregation in the public schools? It was not until the late 1940's that the Court began to insist on equality of treatment, but it did not squarely face the constitutionality of the "separate but equal" doctrine until it decided the Brown case. In a brief, unanimous opinion delivered by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the Court declared that: "separate education facilities are inherently unequal" and that racial segregation violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. In ...

... a third view, free of obscuring bias and passion, can be presented. First, the dropping of the bomb was born out of complex infinite military, domestic and diplomatic pressures and concerns. Second, many potentially viable alternatives to dropping the bombs were not explored by Truman and other men in power, as they probably should have been. Lastly, because these alternatives were never explored, we can only conjecture over whether or not Truman’s decision was a morally just one, and if indeed it was necessary to use atomic energy to win the war. The war in Asia had its roots in the early 1930s. Japan had ...

... From childhood one it was his dream to become an artist or architect. He was not a bad artist, as his surviving paintings and drawings show but he never showed any originality or creative imagination. To fullfil his dream he had moved to Vienna the capital of Austria where the Academy of arts was located. He failed the first time he tried to get admission and in the next year, 1907 he tried again and was very sure of success. To his surprise he failed again. In fact the Dean of the academy was not very impressed with his performance, and gave him a really hard time and said to him "Yo ...

... of Germany the United States took action upon testing their own atomic bomb. Once the bomb was tested, the United States had to decide whether it should be used and if so, where?

The was overall one of the highest and most significant projects ever done in the United States.2 The United States government was shocked by the news of German scientists discovering nuclear fission.
