Gun Control
... we must look at the history of our country, and the role firearms have played in it. The second amendment to the Constitution of the United States makes firearm ownership legal in this country. There were good reasons for this freedom, reasons which persist today. Firearms in the new world were used initially for hunting, and occasionally for self-defense. However, when the colonists felt that the burden of British oppression was too much for them to bear, they picked up their personal firearms and went to war. Standing against the British armies, these rebels found themselves opposed by the greatest military force in the world at that time. The 18th century ...

- International tracing services
- Public education on the principles and rules of international humanitarian law
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement was created in Geneva, Switzerland, in October 1863. Its purpose was to provide nonpartisan care to the wounded and sick in times of war. As a symbol of neutrality, the Red Cross insignia was adopted at this first International Conference and was to be used by national relief societies. The representatives of twelve governments, in August 1864, signed the First Geneva Convention Treaty. The extraordinary ...

Under The Influence Of Televis
... to educate and inform. The bright colors, quick movements, and sudden flashes capture the public's attention in a way like no other medium. TV programming has helped many viewers confront major social issues, such as domestic violence, homosexuality, and drug abuse. Since the 1950's, the American public has embraced the visual aspect of TV and shown an interest in world events like never before. Television has given the common man the power to see and learn about other cultures thousands of miles away. Through the power of TV broadcasting, images and ideas can be viewed from around the world. In the fifties and sixties America was gripped with fear over the sp ...

Prejudice Child Of Ignorance
... parents may have been wealthy, and put him in a private school that only other rich kids can attend. This would be an environment where there may not be racial differences. Because of the way, he was taught and raised, the child has become prejudiced, and the beliefs that his parents once had are now his own. When this child leaves that school, he has not had any contact with anyone from a different lifestyle. He will not know how to react to someone like a homeless person on the street. Like the child, everyone in America has a right to be here. Just because someone looks or acts different from him, that does not make his prejudices right. The nicest person i ...

Seeking Pleasure And Aggression Is Part Of Human Instinct
... one degree of human happiness to another. Freud said that “what
we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the ... satisfaction of
needs which have been dammed up to a high degree, and it is from its nature only
possible as an episodic phenomenon.” (25). At the sametime, we explore those
human instincts in the presence of civilization which set some rules and
regulation that are surpassingly acting as guidelines for the survival of
humanity. Hay Ibn Yaqzan and The Island of animals, are two different human
experiences that discover our two core human instincts, pleasure and aggression.
In Hay, we will find that his journey with his own instincts is diff ...

Chemical And Biological Weapons
... use. Biological weapons can cause
disease or death in living organisms, and are depended upon for their further
ability to multiply inside the organism that it attacks. Even though the two
weapons are closely related, chemical weapons are used far more commonly because
they are inexpensive to make and use. Chemical weapons are more dangerous to
America because of the conflicts we have involved ourselves in. Iraq for example,
has a long and extensive history of using chemical weapons. In the 1980’s, Iraq
released poisonous gases against Iranian troops. Iraq has even used chemical
weapons against it’s own Kurdish citizens to subdue rebellions. As one of the
aftermath ...

In Search Of Excellence...
... deal with strategy, structure, style, systems, staff, skills, and shared values. This has 7 S's and a graphical representation to visualize. This shows the businessman that problems can be managed. For example, anyone assuming that a new manager of a Macdonald’s will perform exactly as the old manager did is ridiculous. The workers must adjust and adapt to the new manager's way of business.
The first principle is a bias for action. This is basically saying "Stop talking and do something about it." When Macdonald’s has a rush of customers and their supplies for making food are low, they (usually) don't say "You know what, I have no more cheese" or ...

Does Plato Believe There Can Ever Be A Just Society?
... cannot define justice by a man because a man can decay into
ugliness. Instead you must define justice based on forms. Plato says that the
forms are eternal and ever lasting.
What constitutes an unjust society is a lack of knowledge. So ignored
to create a just society we must educate people. The society must be well
rounded in their education for if they are not they will have problems in
society. A society must be fit, participation in athletics, they need to be
sensitive to prose poetry, and have knowledge of mathematics and science.
Education can not be on specialties, but everything mind, spirit, and body.
Having a well rounded education will help peopl ...

My Lai: The Event, The Trial,
... inhumane actions, cruelty, violence, and the absolute truth of what was really going on in Vietnam. In reality, it was a blood bath (Almond).
When the truth of the extremity and the reality of the war broke ground and reached the public eye, society's realization of the truth collided head-on into the government's world of lies, and all hell broke loose. The people's opinion began drifting non-stop against the war, as opposed to their previous pro-war attitude. There were anti-war demonstrations and peace movements (Almond) that shut down colleges, and sometimes towns across the country. Then one day, as the media was delivering their daily recurrences of the h ...
