Political Morality
... power from the colonists and putting more demands on. In return, the colonists declared their freedom from their tyrant. In this document, it states, "All men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The great men who wrote this down had a strong sense of morals. They believed that men were given rights by God that no one could take away. This is essential to the issue of morality because it determines the rights- that are agreed upon all- are wrong.

Effective strategies include school based curricula that emphasize the development of problem ...

The First Amendment
... countries such as the former United Soviet Socialist Republic, and East German, controlled all forms of media. We can only be so lucky to have our government to be so lenient with their statutes.
Many groups have stepped up to the fight to censor what can and cannot be heard, or even bought from the local music stores. One such group, the Parental Music Resource Council, once headed by the Second Lady of the U.S., Tipper Gore, singled out and attacked select music groups, deeming that the music being recorded was unfit for the public to hear. One of the groups many attackies was long time musician, Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy went through many different attacks for h ...

Affirmative Action
... I can identify with both perspectives on this topic. Not only does deal with discrimination because of race or sex, it addresses discrimination as a whole. is a growing argument among our society. It is multifaceted and very often defined vaguely. Some can define as the ability to strive for equality and inclusiveness. Others might see it as a quota-based system for different minority groups. Is fair? Are minority groups on equal footing?

Legalization Of Marijuana
... I wish to concentrate on, is the fact that the drug problems in this country, as well as the others that are listed above are included in the group of "SOICIAL PROBLEMS". Think about that for a minute. What entails? A social problem is a problem that faces a society. Now I want you to think about your society. Not society, but your specific and immediate society. What does it consist of? Whom does it consist of? Immediate answers might be school, neighborhood, church, work, town, and family. In other words, we can define it as your community. Your community is your society, now exclusive of your friends and others you consider to be in your peer group who may actual ...

From Miranda rights to the right of free council the steps must be followed in order to insure a fair trial for the accused. This process is well defined for everyone involved in the case. Although this process has steps that some may see as trivial, it must be followed in order to prosecute effectively.

TV hosts become the role models to follow, they are gurus and authorities on almost every field of human life from fashion to ethics and morality. They sell some patterns of behavior that other people can consider weird or outrageous. Their ideas can be good and honorable as well as freak and dumb. TV creates an ideal of a 'perfect' woman and man with all the paraphernalia and pressure connected with it. Many young women (as they appear to be more susceptible to that tension) put themselves on die ...
