Gandhi
... Here, too, showed determination and single-minded pursuit of his purpose, and accomplished his objective of finishing his degree from the Inner Temple. He was called to the bar in 1891, and even enrolled in the High Court of London, but later that year he left for India. After one year of a none too successful law practice, decided to accept an offer from an Indian businessman in South Africa, Dada Abdulla, to join him as a legal adviser. Unbeknown to him, this was to become an exceedingly lengthy stay, and altogether was to stay in South Africa for over twenty years. The Indians who had been living in South Africa were without political rights, and were generall ...

The Harmful Effects Of Body Pi
... other physical traits such as race or dress. Social groups come in many types. People with body piercing might be accepted into a group or rejected from one because of it. Some might assume because of the piercing the individual would automatically fit in with the group. This assumption might be related to the fact that the musicians the group listens to also have body piercing. The exact opposite also holds true for those who would be rejected from a group because of the piercing. Last, and most importantly body piercing may affect your job. There have been controversies over facial piercing in fast food restaurants. Also, if you are taking an interview and you hav ...

Juvenile Justice
... a century old. However, the
origins of the various components of the JJS go back much further than that.
The notion of separate treatment for children under criminal law goes back to a
very early English law. Children under seven years of age were legally
incapable of committing a crime, and children between seven and fourteen were
presumed incapable, this concept being based upon a child's inability to have a
guilty mind, or mens rea. Thus, from almost the beginning children have been
treated differently from adults who commit the same acts.
The origin of juvenile corrections in the United States goes, back at
least to the opening of the New York House of Refu ...

The US Government
... gubernatorial seat of Arkansas. In the 1980 elections, however,
William (Bill) was defeated by Republican Frank White. As the youngest
governor of Arkansas in 40 years, Bill then became the youngest ex-governor
in United States history. During the interim, Clinton was hired by the law
firm Wright, Lindsey and Jennings. In the 1982 elections, Mr. Clinton went
after the position of governor with renewed vigor and defeated incumbent
Republican Frank White. During the campaigning for the election a Time
magazine article stated: "If Clinton does win, it could seem like less a
comeback than a canny mid-course correction in the path of a young, bright

Analysis Of International Law
... United nations. It shall function in accordance
with the annexed Statute, which is based upon the Statute of the
Permanent court of International Justice and forms an integral part of
the present Charter.
The commands of international law must be those that the
states impose upon themselves, as states must give consent to the
commands that they will follow. It is a direct expression of raison
d'etat, the "interests of the state", and aims to serve the state, as

Destroying Waco
... I was curious. There were questions that I wanted answers to. Schumacher and Koresh weren't pushy and made it clear that all they really were looking for right now was a drummer. "I'd like to play some music with you," Koresh said, "and see where we can go from there." My band was going nowhere, and Koresh intrigued me. So I took the card back, and a few days later gave him a call. Over the next weeks I hung out with Koresh and some other musicians in his band. I got to know Koresh and was tremendously impressed. Having never paid much attention to the Bible, I was astonished to find that it actually did have some relevance to my life. And while Koresh had never g ...

Prejudice
... created to protect the African Americans. Now, the black community is not only being increasingly respect by Caucasians, but they are also being idolized by millions of people all over the world. The most popular watched sport in America, NBA basketball, is played by over 87% of the African decent. Nevertheless, racism is still a issue that will never completely go away. Ageism is also a worrying problem in our society. Though many people think that this is not a serious problem, people are being harassed about their age everyday, whether they are "too young" or "too old". I have dealt with this problem myself, as many other teenagers have. When I walk into some st ...

Censorship And The First Amendment: The American Citizen's Right To Free Speech
... this liberty by assuring a free press, to
gather and publish information without being under control or power of another,
in the First Amendment to the Constitution. So why do we need to be concerned
if we, as citizens, have been properly protected under the constitution? Our
concerns occur, on account of special interest groups that are fighting to
change the freedom of expression, the right to freely represent individual
thoughts, feelings, and views, in order to protect their families as well as
others. These groups, religious or otherwise, believe that publishing
unorthodox material is an abuse of free expression under the First Amendment.

1996: A Turbulent Year For Israel
... called it a ,
"Psychological breakthrough" (Netanyahu meets with Clinton). The issues at hand
were Israel fulfilling it's pledge to the Palestinians to redeploy it's troops
stationed in the West Bank town of Hebron so that they will only guard the 440
Jews who live there, from the tens of thousands of Palestinians. Also at issue
were the exit permits given to Palestinians allowing them to go from there jobs
in Israel to there homes in Gaza and the and the West Bank. That leads to
another issue over whether or not a rail link between Gaza and the West Bank
should be formed. The major problem with that would be the cost. In the next
round of Israeli-PLO pea ...
