Extreme Roles
... there are still women. Women willing to sacrifice themselves for the love of a man. Even a man whose love is completely without worth."(Act three, scene three, pg.92). Song knew from experience that men of the Western world loved submissive women who would do anything to please the man they were with. Femininity is displayed as weak and passive. In order to find a man, a women had to do anything, even accept the fact that there husbands would find a mistress on the side. It was socially acceptable to be intentionally blind to what your husband was doing. The same also seemed to take place in the Western world as well, although not at such extreme cases.. Helga a ...

Development Of Major Political Parties In America
... started in 1854. This party was former Whigs who were
opposed to slavery. Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, was
elected in 1860. This party was dominant until 1932. It has a platform based
on probusiness policies, a belief in volunteerism and the ability of the
American people to take care of their own problems without government
intervention. The Democratic Party came back into control during the Great
Depression when the Republican Policy was ineffective in relieving the economic
problems. The Democrats dominated for the most part through the 1960s. However,
the Republicans have won five of the last seven presidental elections. The

Democracy Best Form Of Government?
... people will govern themselves in mass meetings. This can only work if you have a very small community where the problems of government are relatively few and simple. On the other hand representative democracy is a small group of persons chosen by the people to act as their representatives. They are responsible for representing all the ideas and beliefs of the people they are representing. Indirect democracy is usually found in large areas like the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. A word closely associated with democracy is equality. The only way a for a government to be a true democracy, there must be certain kinds of equality in society. The four m ...

Violence On Television

(Methvin, 49), and that "despite slight variations over the past decade, the amount of has remained at consistently high levels" (Wurtzel, 23)? Why is it that, like the tobacco companies twenty years ago, the present day television broadcasting companies refuse to consent that violent films and programming can and do have harmful effects on their viewers (Rowland, 280) What can be done to combat the stubborn minded broadcasting companies and to reduce t ...

Should The Government Of Canad
... on the government for all of their basic needs and wants. They believe that when they go out and make their hard earned money, they should be able to keep it, instead of giving most of it away, so people that sit at home all day, even though fully capable of getting a good job, have the same benefits as themselves. My position on this issue would have to be with the Canadians who don't believe in the government increasing the proportion of salaries to income tax. I believe every man for himself. What an individual earns, he deserves, because he worked hard for his pay. It's not that I don't agree with government intervention, I do, I just believe it should be tryi ...

The Importance Of National Security
... as this agreement was, there was a huge loophole. Underground testing wasn’t prohibited and all the countries took ample advantage of it. In the last three decades the nuclear countries club has expanded. The original threatening four have now been joined by China (with a Communist dictatorship), India, Pakistan (with a very unstable political/governmental system), Israel and South Africa.
When the Soviet Union fell apart, all the republics sent their nuclear weapons to Russia. However, there is no proof that the new countries that were formed and now have dictatorships, such as Belaruse (which used to have nuclear weapons), Khazakstan and even Ukraine gave up ...

The Advisory Opinion Of The IC
... ended and it seemed clear that we are at crossroads. Disarmament was a political reality for the first time since the bomb was created. It soon became clear however, that there was no real political intention to do so. Security continued to be identified by nuclear strategy.
It turned out also that the cease of enmity between the superpowers did not turn the world into a peaceful heaven. The last decade of this century has been just as violent as the previous ones, with the major conflict situations in Yugoslavia and the Gulf and several bloody conflicts in different third world countries. It seemed also that the international community’s attention had been avert ...

TLO Vs. New Jersey: When Is The Constitution Invalid?
... cause for suspicion, the school does have the
legal right to search its students, and finally, the school officials had the
right to search her purse because there was a reasonable doubt of her claiming
to innocence being true.
TLO's 4th amendment rights were however, in fact not violated due to the
reasonable cause and suspicion of her smoking, so the search was truly
reasonable. And there is the fact that the teacher caught her smoking.
Obviously it is the teacher's responsibility to take the student to the
principal for suspension or other means of punishment. When TLO was asked
whether or not she had been smoking, she said no.
The school officials then h ...

The Great Gatsby
... social-economic class differences, Fitzgerald depicts the illusion of the corrupted American dream. Old money, living in the guise of the American dream, denies the entrance of new money and the lower class into their social hierarchy. In the novel, Tom has a mistress who lives in the "valley of ashes," where most of the lower class citizens reside. Tom has been seeing her for years even though he married Daisy. No one objects to this because of his old money status. On page 19, Jordan Baker informs Nick of this scandal, "Why- Tom’s got some woman in New York." Jordan also informs Nick of the commonality and wide acceptance of this fact. Tom’s mistress, My ...

Delinquints
... offenders, rather than to punish them. But the term juvenile delinquency itself has come to imply disgrace in today's society. A youngster can be labeled a delinquent for breaking any one of a number of laws, ranging from robbery to running away from home. But an action for which a youth may be declared a delinquent in one community may not be against the law in another community. In some communities, the police ignore many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime statistics, ...
