Conflict Resolution
... A true disagreement is when people want more than your explanation and further details; they want to change your mind. Define the Problem and Collect the Facts. The book states that the saying, "A problem well defined is half solved" is not far from the truth. It also states that at this stage it is helpful when everyone involved is allowed to define the problem. Clarify Perceptions. This can be done by asking the following questions. What does each party thing the conflict is about? Is the conflict over deeply held values or just preferences? Is the conflict over goals or methods? Generate Options for Mutual Gain. This can be done through brainstorming. Brain ...

Legislative Proposal For New Indecency Language In Telecom Bill
... The
proposal purports to target those who “knowingly” send prohibited communications
-- itself a relatively low standard of liability that may not even require
actual intent or willfulness. Nevertheless, because the proposal i) defines the
elements of criminal liability in vague and contradictory terms, and ii)
eliminates safeharbors in the Senate bill that would define a clear standard of
care, it might hold systems liable for actions that don't reach even a “
knowingly” standard of liability. As a result, access providers, system
managers and operators, and employers may potentially be liable for actions of
users over which they have no specific knowledge ...

Freedom Of Speech, To Bear Arms, And From Dictatorship
... This freedom is guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights making the backbone of this country for over two hundred years. The freedom to bear arms for one is the most important freedom to me because of how important owning a gun is, and how much fun they are. This freedom has come under fire lately because of all the shootings. I think owning guns gives me pride, and is one of the most important rights the American people have today.
Freedom from a dictatorship is another important freedom. We the American people have the right to make choices allowing us to take pride in ourselves. People today can go out sometimes with little or nothing and ...

Time For Reform? Considering The Failures Of The Electoral College
... the candidate who receives the majority
of the Electoral votes for a state receives all the electoral votes for that
state. All the votes are transmitted to Washington, D.C. for tallying, and the
candidate with the majority of the electoral votes wins the presidency. If no
candidate receives a majority of the vote, the responsibility of selecting the
next President falls upon the House of Representatives. This elaborate system of
Presidential selection is thought by many to be an 18th century anachronism
(Hoxie p. 717), what it is in fact is the product of a 200 year old debate over
who should select the President and why.
In 1787, the Framers in their infinite w ...

Indian Suffrage
... good uses. Hence, American Indians suffrages and
nightmares began. The impact of American expansion has turned upon the Indians
and confronted them with social and economic crises never before experienced.
As a result, many tribes torn apart, in many cases extinct, and their identity
was lost. Indians also lost their original lands as a result of direct and
indirect contact with the Europeans. The whites wanted more lands for their
developments, and because of this greed, they created direct policies to clear
the Indians off their lands. For example, one form of direct policy that the
whites used to rob Indians of their lands was by signing treaties. Then lat ...

The Political Parties In The United States
... party, better know at the time as the Whig party, more aristocratic and formed around John Quincy Adams. In 1840, these two parties, together, took up more than 80% of the votes during the presidential elections.
The slavery problem in the mid 1800's literally destroyed the system of parties in existence. Two new parties reformed at the end 1850, however. These two parties are the real ancestors of the parties that are existing today. The Republican party was the party of the anti-slavery North and the Midwest and the Democrat party was the party of the South and of the ethnical minorities.

A Wise Decision
... should think long and hard before reopening the federal death chamber. Because the federal justice system dose not do its job correctly, many innocent people may have or will die on death row. According to the article, A Federal Execution Moratorium-misconduct, unbelievably erroneous evidence and false testimony by jailhouse informants can and has lead to mistaken verdicts. Rolando Cruz is an excellent example of a terrible mistake made by the federal government. He was convicted of the 1983 rape and murder of ten-year-old Jeanine Nicarico, and put on death row. His freedom was suspended to him even after Brian Dugan came forth to admit his sole involvment in the mu ...
