Intentional Destruction Of Native American Cultures
... broke treaties with the
Indians in attempt to get their land.
Government officials wanted the United States to spread from ocean
to ocean. The Indian civilizations were in the way of this goal. They
pushed multiple Indian tribes into small reservations. This caused an
unwelcome blend of cultures. The government officials, in attempt to break
up the Indian tribe, passed the Allotment Act. This act broke the Indian
tribes into individuals. It allotted small parcels of land to Indians.
Many settlers adopted Indian children to obtain their land. This act, not
only destroyed the tribal system, but also damaged the lives of many
Indians. Indian children were of ...

First Stand
... will be the most important in the future because it
could be the answer to most of our problems.
The single word that most Americans know and sometimes fear is WAR.
It hurts, maims, and kills millions of Americans. And why are wars
started? Because some power hungry dictator wants more space, money or
natural recourses. I think that a lot of the wars that we have had in
countries could have been prevented. Especially with all the new

troops there probably wasn’t anything that could have stopped that. I think
most of the violence in wars can be prevented by just sitting down and

To Help The Poor
... in the industrialised
countries think these charity aids are needless, because the government
donates a share of its budget to help the developing countries. Yet
governments cut their foreign aid, the multinational companies take even
higher adventage of the cheap labour force in the developing countries and
if , after all, people think the future will offer equal chances for
everybody without any help from the rich, awakening from this fantasy is
needed.
The information the media give is inadequate, therefore people
should obtain information spontaneously. Yet, common people find it
frustrating, if the information is not very easy to obtain. Like people w ...

Humanism During The Renassiance
... Roman and Greek paintings to gather ideas from their works. Gietto was considered to be the father of renaissance painting. Many other painters soon then followed in his footsteps. Masiccio, Lenardo De Vinici, and Raphael were just a few of these painters whose works we admire today. Before the Italian Renassiance nude paintings were unheard of. Now with such great talent flourishing out of Florance, nude art works were accepted and common to see. Donatello was considered to be the father of sculpture using such details in all of his works. Michelangelo was considered to be the greatest of Italian artist. Michelangelo’s greatest works can still be seen a ...

Improving Public Schools

Its not in high school, neither is it in middle school that students are suppose to learn the basics to better study habits. Its elementary school that students are to be taught skills in memorization, writing, and better studying.

Animal Rights
... snaps its neck attempting to struggle to escape. You retch into a nearby pail and ask a blank-eyed technician if he is practicing torture techniques. In fact it is nothing of that sort. The room you have walked into is a testing laboratory for cosmetics. The technician gives a short bark of laughter and asks if you would like to see the skin-testing lab.
Every year millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine ‘the safety’ of items ranging from eye shadow to oven cleaner. The eye irritancy test described above is only one of the tests that convince me that animal product testing is absolutely wrong. A lethal dose test force-feeds ani ...

Problems With Being A Teen In The Twentieth Century
... I grew very close to my dad. I was able to talk to him by expressing my feelings and hurts, rather than turn to other alternatives to try to solve my problems.
After my dad re-married, we went through some rough times. However, my father and ‘step’ mom have always been there for me during all of the problems that every teenager must face. For example, I just went through a rough time after my boyfriend broke up with me Saturday night, the day before Valentine’s Day. Not only was my best friend able to comfort me, but also my parents. My best friend told me that I should no longer let guys beguile their way into stressing me out, and that all guys are ‘jerks’. ...

The Real Threat Of Nuclear Smuggling
... of nuclear material can have extremely vast consequences and dangers. They
say that although secrecy rules make precise numbers impossible to get, Thomas B.
Cochran of the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, D.C., estimates
that a bomb requires between three and 25 kilograms of enriched uranium or
between one and eight kilograms of plutonium. A Kilogram of plutonium occupies
about 50.4 cubic centimeters, or one seventh the volume of a standard aluminum
soft-drink can.
In addition to this, analysts have found that security is much to lax in
even the supposedly "most protected locations". For example, the Russian stores
in particular suffer from ...
