Hippies
... fought for change by rebelling against the standards of society by using drugs, protesting political issues, and expressing their free love. Music and fashion helped them make their impact. The 1950’s brought great economic growth and with it the dream for a perfect life in a perfect country. Many people got married young and had children quickly, moved into suburbs, and found good jobs. They expected nothing else but for their children to go to college and follow in their footsteps. Adults had faith in the American government, and believed that any hard working, dedicated and honest man would succeed, and of course, they thought that their children would conf ...

Preferred Hiring Practices
... except race. The black applicant is selected, not because of skills or qualifications (in that case the white man would have provided the same result), but for his skin color. This seems to be blatant discrimination, but many believe it is justified. Some feel retribution for years of discrimination is reason enough, but that issue will be discussed later. First, lets focus on why this is not a solution to creating an unbiased society. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." He desired a world wi ...

... other articles, the dependent variable of my research will be the hypothesis of this paper. The support of this question/idea, or the lack of support will be provided by the independent variables, ie; journal articles and/or data compiled. An operational definition of my independent variable will be the reliability and validity of the journal articles selected for the study. One important factor for the operational definition will be what questions the articles ask and how well the findings they produce would support or not support my hypothesis. In fact, I used only studies that mentioned a relation in patient success or outcome and length of treatment, regardless ...

Euthanasia
... Also, modern medicine today has proven to be very beneficial to dealing with pain. A person needs to find a new doctor that can prescribe them drugs pinpointed more to their condition that can actually do something for their pain rather than taking the easy way out and resulting to death. People that have had someone like Dr. Jack Kevorkian assist in their death are crying out for help, they are allowing death to be their last measure to result to in life. activists are allowing people to believe that it is an acceptable solution to result to when life gets you down. How can an individual solve a problem by getting rid of the people to whom the problems happen? O ...

Newly Independent Nation Seeks Advice From Other Nations
... a good high school or college you must pass a difficult exam. Many
students who do not get into a good school often turn to suicide, Japan is
second in the world behind the U.S. in teen suicide. I would not choose this
because a good system of education is not worth teens killing themselves.
The second area in which the nation is seeking advice is in the area of
womens rights. They are seeking advice from Israel. In Israel women are given
as equal rights as men are. Women are allowed to have the samejobs, education,
and also serve in the military under the same conditions of men. The nation
should choose this policy because women are as equal as men and shoul ...

Gun Control
... Then, he must wait one to two weeks while the government performs a small background check for past criminal activities, disorderly conduct, or lack of mental/emotional stability. During this time, if the purchaser of the gun wanted the gun for impulse reasons (out of rage), it is hoped that they will not still want to cause bodily harm after a couple weeks. The problem with this method of is that it stops the ordinary citizen from purchasing a gun on the whim, but it actually protects the common criminal. Underage buyers and other delinquents can purchase mass quantities of weapons through "dummy buyers" that have clean backgrounds. So if a burglar enters a house ...

Euthanasia
... limited existence. This is a fairly rare reason for suicide -- most impaired people cope remarkably well with their affliction -- but there are some who would, at a certain point, rather die. What are the ethical parameters for ? The person is a mature adult. This is essential. The exact age will depend on the individual but the person should not be a minor who comes under quite different laws. The person has clearly made a considered decision. An individual has the ability nowadays to indicate this with a "Living Will" (which applies only to disconnection of life supports) and can also, in Rourke 2 today's more open and tolerant climate about such actions, freely d ...

Loophole Or A Conspiracy?
... Bill is going to increase the price for the other products and cash in on the profits. Why do you ask, because majority of the computers in the world utilizes one or more of Microsoft's products and they have no choice but to use the other Microsoft's products because if everyone is using it and you will be out of the loop. The New York Times article reported that the software security breaches has been verified. This means that if one hacker has the knowledge of hacking through this loophole, then we are in great danger because everything you can imagine is stored in the computers and large databases. This article just proves my point on Microsoft's power to in ...

What is Obscenity? Clearly something hard to talk about constructively.
"Obscenity" is difficult to discuss honestly. After all, what makes a thing
obscene? It is Something too vague perhaps to be defined. It's an elusive term
we use, but can't explain. Different people often see things differently. Some
see obscenity in nude pictures, statues, paintings, etc. While others find less
obscenity in these things. All the same, "obscene" isn't the same as "wrong" or
"bad". Clearly obscenity is not identical with evil. ...

The Influence Of Green Groups On The Policy Of The United States
... changes have remained intact through the study of past
congressional decisions.
Research Problem
1. Research Question
Have environmental groups' strategies been successful at altering the policies
of the United States?
2. Rational for the Research
This research will help environmental groups to identify the effectiveness of
their strategies. This is necessary for these groups to effectively alter the
policies of the United States, which is one of the largest polluters in the
