Josef Mengele
... were brought to Auschwitz in cattle cars, hundreds of people would be put into a car and then not let out for days, without food or water. Even when the trains arrived at Auschwitz they would often sit on the track for days until all the many trains which had come before were unloaded.

Impacts Of Birth Control
... or gonorrhea doesn’t fight too well. President Wilson was very concerned about the American soldiers getting sick and not able to fight. He also wanted to stop the spread of VD Wilson decided that during boot camp the soldiers would be taught about VD’s, and the effect of them. The recruits had to take a sexual education class. In the class the men were shown pictures and movies that showed what various vaginal diseases looked like, and what they would do to a mans sex organs. This was an effective in stopping the American soldiers from going to the French whorehouses. Another program the U.S. Government instituted to stop the spread of VD was to give out c ...

Harsher Penalties For Violent
... a job. I realize that there are people out there who
believe that the system we are currently using is acceptable. In which case, they
may argue that the criminals of today are just misguided and misunderstood. They
are the ones who want less crime, and a hardly demeaning lifestyle for criminals.
What is the point of having a life sentence? We have people who have killed
in cold blood, sitting in jail to rot. This makes me think. Why should a criminal live
better than I am? We give the criminals of today too much credit and not enough
hard time. I would give them enough food to live on, a cot, toilet, and sink. if more
people could read the college essa ...

Flaws In America’s Legislative Branch
... yet still concerned for the people along with their rights and needs. The forefathers envisioned Congress to be the primary institution, which it became, but loads of problems were occurring within the congressional walls themselves. Issues over “slavery, the admission of new states, the development of internal improvements, tariffs against foreign goods, the regulation of business” (pg. 286), and the most controversial, the distribution of power in Congress itself. In order to protect the individual, the founders had to allow for decentralized powers that included “weak leadership, rules allowing for delay and discussion, and many opportunities for commit ...

Iran Iraq War
... appeared to have been put to rest by the Algiers Treaty in 1975. This agreement settled the border dispute over the Shatt al Arab waterway in Iran's favor. At the same time, Iraq renounced a long-standing claim to the southwestern portion of Iran; an area called Arabistan by Iraq and Khuzestan by Iran, and recognized Iranian control of the disputed Gulf Islands. Saddam Hussein took over the presidency in 1979. When the Iranian monarchy was overthrown, Iraq denounced the Algiers Treaty and demanded restoration of the eastern bank of the Shatt al Arab as the border. After a period of mutual sporadic border violations and skirmishes, Iraq attacked its neighbor i ...

Inclusion
... to regular curriculum. Many people believe mainstreaming only helps disabled children, but there are many challenges that hurt their education rather than help. Both faculty and students can be cruel to disabled students. Because they are not used to interacting with disabled children, faculty and students may be uncomfortable with the situation and be insensitive to the disabled children. By ignoring the disabled children or treating them badly, the children will lose self-esteem and may disrupt the class in order to show their unhappiness. Some teachers are not familiar with teaching disabled children, so the education is lacking for the children. Teachers ...

Gideon Vs Wainwright
... this right, that which gives a person accused of a crime to have
lawyers for his defense, is common knowledge being that it is among the
most basic rights given to the citizenry of the public. However, the simple
manner in which this amendment is phrased creates a “gray area”, and
subject to interpretation under different circumstances. The legitimacy of
the right to mount a legal defense is further obscured by the Fourteenth
Amendment which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States.” As a result, many
questions begin to arise which seek to determine the true right of the
accused to the assi ...

The First Amendment
... on the abuse of power by the states. In England in 1665,
there was such a thing as The Conventicle Act. This act stated that anyone
over the age of sixteen was cecptible to imprisonment if they were caught
practicing any other religions other then the established one. In the years
to come people would come to America to seek religious freedom and they got
it. In 1811, when James Madison was president, he vetoed a bill passed by
Congress incorporating a church organization. England was also an influence
on how we handled the press, since we were trying to break away from them
and be different and independent. England had pollicies wearies printers,
publishers, and w ...

The Presidential Election Of 2000
... vary greatly. Three issues in which this is evident are the candidate's views on taxes, Social Security preservation and reform, and education.
Forbes and Bush's differing views on the issue of tax reform is probably the widest gap between them. Forbes plan is nothing short of radical. He feels that we should totally scrap the graduated income tax system that we now use in favor of a flat rate tax of 17%. This plan also calls for the dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service, one of Forbes' chief adversaries. He is in favor of a Tax Limitation Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment would make it extremely hard for Congress to raise taxes. Like ...

Congressmen And Their Influences
... were divided this way to ensure that all new laws would be
debated and decided not by a few but through a heirarchy that gives every
citizen a part to play in our collective decision making.
Each of the individuals in the House has an equitable voting relationship with
the others, 1=1=1, when it come to passing legislation, but in the earlier
phases of formulating policy some relationships are dominant over others. The
only ones that would be lower than a freshman Democrat in the 105th Congress
from a rural, low industry district are probably those that represent our
protectorates Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. Many levels within the parties and the
institution affor ...
