... A distinction or preference adopted by a state party to promote the social integration or personal development of persons with disabilities does not constitute discrimination provided that the distinction or preference does not in itself limit the right of persons with disabilities to equality and that individuals with disabilities are not forced to accept such distinction or preference. If, under a state's internal law, a person can be declared legally incompetent, when necessary and appropriate for his or her well-being, such declaration does not constitute discrimination. ARTICLE II The objectives of this Convention are to prevent and eliminate all forms ...
... not subject to the laws of Georgia. Jackson, who sympathized with the frontiersman, was so outraged that he refused to enforce the decision. Instead he persuaded the tribe to give up it's Georgia lands for a reservation west of the Mississippi. According to Document A, the map shows eloquently, the relationship between time and policies which effected the Indians. From the Colonial and Confederation treaties, a significant amount of land had been acquired from the Cherokee Indians. Successively, during Washington's, Monroe's, and Jefferson's administration, more and more Indian land was being commandeered. The administrations during the 1790's to ...
... States, at different periods, has been victimized by the dark forces of war. Though reasons (or excuses) the American people have been given to the American people to justify military action were given before most of our wars, not every war has been popular. Ever since the Revolutionary War up until the Vietnam War, and even through to the Gulf War, public support has sequentially increased or decreased. For example, less than half of the early colonists backed America’s war of independence.1 According to historians, more than one third wanted to maintain their status of colonists.2 During the Spanish-American War, such a strong anti-war mood was ...
... by him, but his conversations and sayings were written down by his disciples in the analects. CONFUCIANISM Confucianism was the single most important thing in Chinese life. It affected everything in China; education, government, and attitudes toward behavior in public and private life. Confucianism is not a religion, but it is more a philosophy and a guide to morality and good government. At the time Confucius was born, China was in a constant state of war, and rapid political change altered the structure of Chinese society so much that people no longer respected the established behavioral guidelines. Confucius stated that the id ...
... Parris to get rid of the evil forces that were plaguing them. Pressured to identify the witches, the girls named three women. On Feb 29 warrants were issued for Tibuba, an Indian Slave, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne. These women were the first three to be accused. Tituba confessed to practicing witchcraft and to seeing the devil. She claimed the devil would appear to her "sometimes like a hog and sometimes like a great dog". She also testified that there was a conspiracy of witches at work in Salem. This marked the beginning of the Salem witch-hunt that would plague Salem residences for most of that year. A pattern started to emerge which reflected the ...
... bill. In this revision, Wilmot proposed "...neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of the territory...". This was not well liked by the South and eventhough it was given thumbs up many times in the senate, our newly formed country was now bordered by fresh land. The Wilmot Proviso underwent quite a bit of pressure so that compromises could satisfy each side. The Compromise of 1850 was soon to follow but the real catch of the same year was the Fugitive Slave Act. This act was invented so that the slaves of slaveowners, who took them to a slave-free state on a vacation or something, could not escape. In this act, the harde ...
... calculus and Newton's method of fluxions into mathematical analysis; refined the notion of a function [f(x)]; made common many mathematical notations, including e, i, the pi symbol, and the sigma symbol; and laid the foundation for the theory of special functions, introducing the beta and gamma transcendental functions. He also worked on the origins of the calculus of variations. But his work did not only reside in math. He was also a pioneer in the field of topology and made number theory into a science, stating the prime number theorem and the law of biquadratic reciprocity. In physics he articulated Newtonian dynamics and laid the foundation of analytical me ...
... During the shogunate of the Tokugawa family the samurai as a class were transformed into military bureaucrats and were required to master leadership skills as well as military arts (Wilson, 1994). This trend became more and more apparent as time went on. The samurai no longer believed that being a good warrior was all that was necessary. The samurai now believed that the complete man was one with a balance of both martial and literate skills. Training now involved leadership skills, meditation and poetry. By doing this, the shoguns ensured an army of elite soldiers that had the capacity to lead others or think for themselves if necessary. This training ev ...
... one hears in the Middle East, is that British and French policy at the time was a straightforward betrayal of the Arabs”(Field 28). Because of the Ottoman rule in the Middle East, the Europeans began to persuade the Arab leaders to revolt by promising them their independence. But what was meant, was independence from Turkish rule with the aid, supervision and/or protection from Britain and France. In simple terms, the Europeans powers would be the new occupiers of the Middle East. The deception came in the form of two documents; one important to the Europeans powers, and the other to the Jews. The Sykes-Picot Agreement of February 1916, was the document that divi ...
... versions were created, when crowds increased so much, that seating extended out onto the steps and streets. Finally the church refused to allowed priests to partake in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around the square. This was as such, because there were no proper theaters, or areas large enough to hold the entire stage. Elizabethan Theater England's theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage. There were three parts to the stage: 1 The fore ...
