... of it and the majority of these victims are between the ages of twenty and forty. The only solution to this problem, as is the only solution to any problem, is prevention through education. Of course it is easy to hand out literature and condoms to adults, but are they really going to listen? As a community, we can encourage HIV/ testing, but will it be taken advantage of? Since these are adults being familiarized with HIV/, how to contract it, the consequences, and the raw statistics, they will probably disregard all of the information. Education on the issue of HIV/ obviously needs to begin at an earlier age. HIV is spread most commonly by sexual contact with an ...

... the patients own choice. But can we allow some one to take their own lives? Doesn't this mean that everyone else around the patient have failed, that more could have been done? From the patients point of view, a lot of arguments talk in favor of euthanasia. For one, no body wants to be a burden. If a person has had a car accident which paralyses him from neck and down, and is doomed to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he knows that he will be 100% dependant on the ones that care for him, his lived ones, forever. It can also be mentioned that the life quality of a terminally ill patient, gets reduced a lot. Never being able to walk again, never being abl ...

... of dons, who live in the Capital. The capital of Sicily was Palermo. They were inducted into the Mafia through an oath which to this day says: A vow never to reveal any Mafia secrets or members under the threat of torture or death. Complete obedience of the boss. Always help out fellow Mafia members. Avenge attacks on members of the family, because every sheep is part of our flock. Stay away from police and other government disciplinarians. In the 19th century the Mafia grew into a large criminal society. Creating the Mafia’s own forms of authority. The Mafia began to extort many people by handing out Black Hand notes, which been around since the 1700s. They hand ...

... where they are likely to commit murder again? is one of the oldest forms of punishment in the world. Most societies have considered it a fair punishment for severe crimes. It is even mentioned as an appropriate punishment in the Bible. American colonists used before the United States was a country, and most states use it today. Currently, however, there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the death penalty. Capital cases are long and expensive, and there is no proof as to whether deters crime. For these reasons total abolition may be the best way to resolve the controversy. If the laws concerning were modified, however, could become much cheaper, and ...

... 1994). As the popularity of the public school movement began to rise behind Horace Mann many states soon passed compulsory-education laws. These were designed primarily to prevent farmers, miners, and other parents form keeping their kids home to work (Clark, 1994). Ironically another factor behind public schools was the desire to use them to spread Christian morality, with its concern for the larger good over individualism (Clark, 1994). Massachusetts enacted the first such laws in 1852 requiring children ages 8-14 to be at school at least 12 weeks a year unless they were too poor. The laws proved to be effective, from 1870-1898 the number of children enrolling in ...

... Many of you may be puzzled by the title of this paper-"Women in a Qur'anic Society." You may ask yourselves, "Why didn't she say "Women in Muslim Society" or even "Women in an Islamic Society?" Let me explain why the expressions "Muslim" and "Islamic" were rejected for this paper, and how the use of the rather unusual appellation, "Qur'anic society," is justified. There are at least three reasons for my choice of that title. The first of these derives from the concern that many beliefs and practices have been labelled "Muslim" or "Islamic" without warranting those names. There are approximately 40 nations of the world which claim to have a Muslim majority populat ...

... some Panthers and arresting others. After I and most other Panther 21 members were held in jail and on trial for two years, We were all acquitted of all charges and released. Most of us returned to the community and to the BPP but by then COINTELPRO had taken its toll. The BPP was rife with dissension, both internal and external. The internal strife, division, intrigue, and paranoia had become so ingrained that eventually most members drifted or were driven, away. Some continued the struggle on other fronts and some basically cooled out altogether. The BPP limped on for several more years, then died what seemed a natural death. History will be the ultimate ...

... children away, but to no avail. A truck full of stones was brought in to be used during the stoning. In the middle of the stoning, although her eyes had been gouged out, the victim was able to escape from the ditch and started running away, but the regime's guards recaptured her and shot her to death." From China comes the following observation. "Still in the streets an occasional old crone hobbling around on her miniature bound feet was a relic of the pre-Revolutionary, almost dead past. I also heard an echo of that past in a silk thread factory in Wuxi, China. A woman member of its Revolutionary Committee was introduced to me as a ‘veteran worker’. The description ...

... means by which it can be attained. For example, if a weak nation is trying to use diplomacy, it must first determine how much power it has in relation to the country it is dealing with, and if it's goals are attainable with that amount of power. Secondly, Morgenthau says that a nation must also take into respect the power of the other nation and the goal it is trying to reach. Basically, all he is saying is that a country must also take into interest the objectives and capabilities of the opposing nation. Thirdly, he states that diplomacy must determine how compatible the two nations needs are. In simpler terms, diplomacy determines whether or not two nations ...

... of the 1st amendment of the Constitution. The holding of this court has completely overlooked the historical facts and suppositions present here today. The court's decision enjoining the City of Zion and Rolling Meadows, IL, to remove the "religious" symbols from their town seals and emblems, has made the Lemon test into something that is no longer of the specific nature, used for the protection of America's own interests, but for something used to strike down and inhibit the free exercise of religion itself. It is quite clear and has certainly been made quite clear by each of the city councils present here today, that there was no true emphasis on sectari ...
