... lead toward a less violent society. The assumption is that without a catalyst (violent programming), violent behaviour will be less prevelant. I can see how one might think this way; 1. chilren appear to behave more violently than their parents did as children. 2. Today's television has more violent shows, both in abundance and degree. There appears to be a simple causation there. It may be just a corelation. American television networks operate on the supply and demand curve just like any other industry. There has to exist a demand for violent programming first. The demand for violent programming leads to the broadcasting of such programs, but do violent shows lea ...
... law, death. Nearly 3 of 4 Americans support the death sentence as a form of punishment. The sacredness of life has been taught for centuries. One can find its teachings throughout the bible and other post modern documentaries. "Those who base their opposition to the death penalty on moral grounds argue that life is sacred and killing is always wrong, whether it is done by an individual or by the state" (Honeyman 3). It is safe to say that most of us would agree that our lives are precious, and even sacred. Most of us also agree that killing is wrong. Miller says, "To punish a murderer by incarcerating him as one does a pickpocket cannot but cheapen human lif ...
... they which are labeled, "Illegal Aliens". I know you're not laughing, because it's not funny. For example: 7-11? Once an American dream, before the Illegal Aliens came into the picture! Conceive that you walk wearily into a 7-11, yearning for a large Pepsi, filled with ice, and brimming with tiny bubbles popping at the surface. . . But no!! the cashier can only say, "Thank you, come again" in a bad accent. You've probably also taken an extensive trip once or twice along a barren interstate. But before leaving, you want to make sure your family doesn't starve on the journey. So you drive through at McDonalds, and order 2 big macs with cheese, 2 quarter poun ...
... 60’s many laws were passed to protect the rights of children, in a court of law. The major decisions of this time were: Kent v. United States, In re Gault, and In re Winship. Since the time that these laws were enacted, the number of juveniles committing violent offenses has risen dramatically. There are two distinct schools of thought in this argument: side A believes that a persons age should not prevent that person from feeling the full effect of the adult court system, while side B feels that you simply cannot apply the same rules to juvenile offenders that you do to adults. I will first present side A’s case then B’s and finally end with my own opinio ...
... effect, depending on person's social group and one can follow one path of the other. We are greatly influenced by the people around us. In today's schools drugs are very common, peer pressure usually is the reason for their usage. If the people in your social group use drugs there will be pressure a direct or indirect pressure from them. A person may be offered to try drugs, which is direct pressure. Indirect pressure is when someone sees everyone around him using drugs and he might think that there is nothing wrong with using drugs. Person might try drugs just to fit in the social norms, even if a person had no intentions of using drugs one might do it just ...
... and letting nature take its course, examples of this are, removing life support systems, stopping medical procedures, stopping food and water, not delivering CPR and letting the patient’s heart stop. The most common form of passive euthanasia is to give a person large doses of morphine to control pain, despite the likely hood that the pain killer would suppress respiration, thus causing death earlier than normal, passive euthanasia is usually used on patients who are terminally ill, suffering greatly, or in a persistent vegetative state (Robinson, p. 1). There are three types of euthanasia that are illegal or very close to illegal even in places where euthana ...
... other would countermove. It was finally America that came out on top and the Soviet Union a collapsed failure, but not necessarily because the US was stronger and out muscled the Soviets militarily. The end of the Cold War was primarily due to economic factors. What America proved was that the economy works best when the government stays out and individuals within the society do the work.2 It is only the individuals within the society that truly understand what products are in demand. Under Communist regime a few select rulers decide what are the needs of the society, what resources are their country's scarcities, and how to obtain these scarcities. Finding ...

... Grandpa what’s propaganda, hopefully I w ill still remember the answer. “ I stand for freedom and the American way,” wow so does everybody else. This propaganda technique is called glittering generalities. When a candidate says things that appeals to everyone in hopes to sway your vote. That’s just one psychological mind game that politicians use to spread propaganda. Johnson had a controversial commercial during cold war times, which implied that is opponent was trigger-happy. In a time were everyone ‘s worst fear was that they were going to get blown up by Russian nukes, how could anyone in the right minds vote for a man who would get the U.S blown up. ...
... exchange of power seemed impossible to ever achieve but this election proved all the skeptics wrong. The Revolution of 1800 was so named by the winner of the 1800 election, Thomas Jefferson. He called this election a revolution because his party, the Republicans, peacefully and orderly received the power with nothing but acceptance by the federalists. This was how the founding fathers designed the government to be. It was revolutionary for America because this was not even achieved in England until a full generation later and this country was only a little over 20 years old. Other countries began to look up to a respect, maybe even copy the advances that this ...
