... all aspects including defense. The reason for US choosing Pakistan as one of its major ally's is due to its critical and strategic locations in Southeast Asia. It was from Pakistan's Air Bases, basically from the Frontier region, that US spy planes used to operate their missions. This close relationship between the two countries flourished during the 1950's, but started to diminish during the 1970's. After the Russian invasion in Afghanistan in December 1979, Pak-US military ties once again gained importance as Pakistan was considered to be the only buffer state left to fight against Communism. During this era the United States of America in the form of cash, mil ...

... one that takes human lives based on ideals of vengeance and violence, is an immoral system that is unacceptable. The most widely used argument in support of capital punishment is that the consequence of execution influences criminal behavior more effectively than imprisonment does (“Against the Death Penalty”). Although the argument may sound reasonable, in reality the death penalty fails as a deterrent. First, punishment can only be a useful deterrent if it is rational and immediately used. Capital punishment cannot meet those conditions. The number of first degree murderers who are sentenced to death is small, and of this group an even smaller number of peopl ...

... American rebels took up arms against the British in a Revolutionary War. Although America had escaped from British oppression, the struggle for justice was far from over. Social problems existed in our society that had never been predicted by Washington or Jefferson. Slavery, for instance, became more and more a controversial issue until finally, it led to a civil war within the less than united States. In 1861, the southern states seceded, and a war was fought between the rebels and the Union for four long, bloody years. However this battle did not end without a gain, for in 1863 President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slave ...

... homosexual marriage is natural and that it should be legalized. I however, am opposed to this because homosexuality is not a natural alternative lifestyle. First let’s define homosexuality. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, homosexuality is “having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.” Men and women are obviously biologically different. “People of the same sex having intercourse goes against what is biologically natural” (Baird 114). Part of the homosexual agenda is to make people believe that homosexuals are the same as heterosexuals when it comes to engaging in sexual behavior. This is absolutely not true. In Michelangelo Signorile’s bo ...

... We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy, ...

... positive ideals. Crime & Criminology describes, in depth, the relation between family and criminal activity in youths. Page 126 (chapter four) sited two relevant facts; 1) Blacks have much higher rates of illegitimacy and female headed house holds. 2) Blacks have a much higher rate of crime than their white counterparts. In Nathaniel’s case, it can be said that his lack of a positive role model, or father figure lead to his involvement in criminal activities. His mother, Gloria, was struggling to raise three children by herself. Nathaniel’s father had left when he was born, leaving her with no one to depend on. The family moved in with an older couple who offere ...

... Political or Economics departments (and possibly others). In particular, several universities now offer an advanced degree specializing in what is called Public Choice Theory. Public Choice Theory is directed toward the study of politics. I would think you would be immediately puzzled by this, since most universities already have a Political Science department. The problem is that until Public Choice Theory came along, universities did not teach the way politics actually functions but, instead, taught the way it should work ideally or the way they wished it would work. This practice of teaching what should be rather than what is is fairly common at universities and ...

... everyday. Children should feel safe when they walk into school. Many people use violence as an expression to release feelings of anger or frustration. They think there are no answers to their problems and turn to violence to express their out of control emotions. Others use manipulation as a way to control others or get something they want. Violence is a learned behavior. Like all learned behaviors, it can be changed. This isn't easy, though. Since there is no single cause of violence, there is no one simple solution. The best you can do is learn to recognize the warning signs of violence and to get help when you see them in your friends or yourself. Teachers tend ...

... for their actions. Juvenile crime is stated as ¡§an act committed by a minor that would be considered a crime committed by an adult, such as vandalism, burglary, assault, or murder¡¨ (Silverstein 11). Juveniles are committing these crimes against families, classmates, and strangers. In many states, a juvenile is any one under the age of eighteen. Young offenders commit these crimes because they feel neglected, that no one cares, and this is a way to get attention. However, professional¡¦s say that juvenile offenders commit these crimes due to being abused or even ignored as a child (Valentine). Telling a parent to not ignore, punish, or leave your child home alone ...
