The Effects Of Television Viol
... violence and children has been shown. Some are trying to fight this problem. Others are ignoring it and hoping it will go away. Still others donŐt even seem to care. However, the facts are undeniable. The studies have been carried out and all the results point to one conclusion: Television violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life-long.
The information can't be ignored. Violent television viewing does affect children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he had learned to do so to not lea ...

Russian Reform And Economics: The Last Quarter Of The 20th Century
... of a reforming economy?
C. There are many changes that are still needed in order for the Russian
economy to grow. III. What will be the future of Russia's Economy?
Main Body
As the reformation of the USSR was becoming a reality, Russia's economy was
crumbling beneath it. Russia began its economic challenge of perestroika in the
1980's. The Russian people wanted economic security and freedom, while the
government was trying to obtain democracy. The previous management styles
needed to be changed along with the way that most businesses in Russia operated.
The Russian Federation consists of 17,075,400 square km, which is roughly
76.2 per ...

Sectionalism And The Breakup Of The U.S
... North, as it was not an
agriculturally based economy and needed little in the way of unskilled laborers.
It was very easy for the North to bash the South's slavery because their economy
did not depend upon slavery. They had no slaves, no need for slaves, and saw
slavery as inhumane and unlawful. The south, however, depended upon slavery as
a basis of production, and the only way to operate large farms at the time,
primarily being the large cotton plantations of the south.
Several people tried to resolve the issue of slavery with compromises
and bills that set clear rules and laws to appeal to both sides. The most
prominent being the Missouri compromise. This ...

Communism In The USSR
... to be equal, no one in the government could have too much power, and that is why they made took people who were elected from each area and these were supposed to be the government. They were supposed to make the decisions, elect all the other government officials and all the other very important things. That made the ordinary man think that the government is controlled by people just like him, with only high school education (some even without it), poor, being in politics for the first time in their lives. That is impossible. Such people can run no government.
The most annoying thing is that almost no one noticed that, and if someone did, they were immediat ...

Independence Of Judiciary In Australia
... and efficient branches of government and it
also reduces the abuse of government power by dividing it.
a) Why is the independence of the judiciary an important feature of Australia's
system of justice?
The judiciary is the government branch that is concerned with the administration
of justice. The judiciary is absolutely separate from the executive and the
legislature, so it can check the concentration of government power. The
independence of the judiciary is crucial of a democratic community because when
judges are presiding over cases, there must be no interference and intimidation
from the external forces. The independence issues touches upon the con ...

Apartheid In South Africa
... they own 86.3% of the land. However, it must be said that the
Afrikaaners are entitled to the Orange Free State and Transvaal as they were
first to use it after the Great Trek of 1836.
The average South African White earns eight times as much as the average
black man. Coloureds earn three times as much as black while colords earn well
over half of what whites earn.
During Apartheid, media censorship was at an all time high. People were
even banned from showing Soweto on television. It was common to see a newspaper
shut down, and then start again after being halted by the government.
Up until 1985, mixed marriages were banned. This ...

Interest Groups
... Interest groups also
educate, by trying to inform both public officials and the public at large about
matters of importance to them. Lobby groups also keep track of how programs are
working in the field and try to persuade government to take action when problems
become evident when they monitor programs. The traditional interest groups have
been organized around some form of economic cause, be it corporate interests,
associates, or unions. The number of business oriented lobbies has grown since
the 1960s and continues to grow. Public-interest groups have also grown
enormously since the 1960s. Liberal groups started the trend, but conservative
groups are now ...

Assisted Suicide
... reasons for opposition were.
It always seemed unusual to me that suicide was not illegal, but yet it was illegal to assist in one even with a consenting party. I wondered how this could be, and how people could deny people this right in unending pain. There never seems to be a prosecution of doctors who participate in these acts, even though they frequently go to court. I wondered why this occured and what the laws really said regarding this. I also wondered how people distinguished between forgoing medical interventions and actually assisting in the suicide. As I approached the research, my main questions were regarding opposers. I really did not know all ...

Doing It Publicly
... a young age. For this reason talk shows are misleading not only to foreigners but to children and young adults who are learning about morals and our society. In a letter to the corporate CEO's distributing these programs, William Bennett and Senator Joseph Lieberman asked: "Would you want your young children to view a program showcasing the sexual adventures of a 14-year-old girl who married her 71-year-old foster father"(Flint and Wharton). To those who do not tune into these shows this discription may sound like an exaggeration; however, it is not. This is exactly the type of topics on some shows. Not only are half the shows ridiculous with topics of deceit, reve ...
