... to keep the woman alive. Also, sometimes women would receive physical blows to their abdomen an effort to kill the fetus. Since both of these methods were very dangerous for women, infanticide was a much more popular form of abortion. Infanticide is grossly just the killing of the baby directly after birth (3 Gilbert). J. Gilbert, the author of an informative Texas state web-page, states that some time after 1750, a new procedure was introduced to abortion. The new procedure consisted of probing objects through the cervix and into the uterus of the women to accomplish the abortion (4 Gilbert). Laurence Tribe, author of Abortion: The Clash of Absolutes, states tha ...

... be present in the criminal's mind prior to committing the offence. The criminal must be aware that others have been punished in the past for the offence that he or she is planning, and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can also happen to me. B ut individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions. Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves. Every human has a personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not tolerate. How far they will and will not go. This personal set of conduct can be made or be broken by fr ...

... ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed'. One can say that it clearly states that the people do have a right to have firearms. Who are ‘the people'? Some argue that the people are just what it says, citizens. “[M]any legal historians have concluded that the right is corporate rather that individual”(Hook, 30). Meaning that the right is giving to the state government not to individual citizens. Others argue that it does give people the right to bear arms, but only if you belong to a certain group. This group is defined by the beginning preamble to the Second Amendment, ‘A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security ...

... promise of elimination of classes and guaranteed employment seemed to be the best way of life for all the Russian people. This new government started when Lenin seized power in 1917. Under his rule the Soviet Union underwent radical changes. In it’s new economic doctrines they adopted a mixed economy, which was termed the New Economic Policy. This economy called for some private owner but the government controlled the majority of production. Lenin’s government made many achievements. It ended a long civil was against the remains of old Czarist military system and established institutions in government. Lenin died in 1924, and was quickly followed by Joseph ...

... tourism industry was lacking direction and focus (Levin 5). Top tourism officials were beginning to realize that the “traditional products of sun, sea, and sand were losing inherent value in a continually more competitive market” (Levin 3). Essentially, the country was losing the upper-end of the consumer market, which had greater purchasing power. For a few years, Mexico’s tourism officials tried to rejuvenate many of their popular tourist destinations through various marketing strategies and additional funding. This was an attempt to prevent decline in tourist arrivals. The rejuvenation process proved to be difficult as many of these areas had no additional la ...

... responsibility. It is inappropriate to make excuses for these criminals simply because they were not reared in well-to-do circumstances. neglected, or perhaps suffered abuse as a child. None of these forced them to make the choice to commit the crime. As stated by Ernest van den Haag, "by committing the crime, the criminal volunteered to assume the risk." (1)If an individual commits the crime of murder, or rapes a child, that person has forfeited any moral right to continue to live, even if imprisoned for life. Their victim had no choice and no chance to live a fruitful, productive life. Why should society be required to pay the costs associated with imprisonm ...

... violent nature. The idea is that violent behaviour is learned. Many people suggest that limiting the violent graphic content found on television might lead toward a less violent society. The assumption is that without a catalyst (violent programming), violent behaviour will be less prevelant. I can see how one might think this way; 1. chilren appear to behave more violently than their parents did as children. 2. Today's television has more violent shows, both in abundance and degree. There appears to be a simple causation there. It may be just a corelation. American television networks operate on the supply and demand curve just like any other industry. There has to ...

... changes to the government before them. In this, I mean that when the Articles of Confederation were being written, they used the English Government as a base, and improved from there. They didn't want the president to be too powerful, like the king. The Constitution made changes to the Articles of Confederation by making a stronger government, rather than a weaker one. Thirdly, both governments had the power to coin money, but the Articles of Confederation didn't use that power. Now let's get to the differences. For one thing, under the Articles of Confederation, you must need a unanomous vote under all states to make an amendment, while in the Constitution, yo ...

... A group of men representing the residents of a particular land would make laws that were meant for them. This was democracy at its earliest stage in America. Everywhere one goes today in America, there is democracy. Whether a church council, school club or the state general assembly, a representative group is always present. Democracy shapes America. One could view the first democratic group responsible for today's freedom. This was the assembly formed by George Yeardly (p.13). Perhaps, if the Virginia Company had not instructed the governor to establish an assembly, the idea of democracy might not have instilled into the minds of the colonists. Surely, witho ...

... the best for LDCs, and the one we should impose on them? For instance, what is the point of giving complex macinery like tractors and harvesters, which need expensive fuel and maintenance, to people who have harvested their crops by manpower for hundreds of years? We know for a fact that the money we grant is not being used adequately. A lot of the money is taken by the governments of the less developed countries, and a great amount of the sum are not being used to the purposes they are meant for. Bribery and corruption are huge problems in developing countries. It makes more sense to dig wells for people who walk for miles every day to get their daily water sup ...
