... was not among the countries main economic objectives (Miller 4). However, after close scrutiny, the economic woes of the approaching millennium were projected as "higher then we thought it would be" (Miller 4). In fact, "in the twelve years before Clinton took office, the deficit quadrupled in size" (deficit 1). As a result, Clinton must engage in creative cost cutting techniques to keep the budget under control. Money afforded to state and local governments for development programs, such as those which relieve "urban blight," will eventually be cut by two-thirds, a third more then Gingrich's last congress proposed (Rauch 2). In addition, cuts to transporta ...
... it in his Democracy in America. It is a kind of filial piety. But no one, not even a Spartan, is born loving his country; such love is not natural, but has to be taught, or inculcated, or somehow acquired" (Berns, 1997, pp. PG). Though the definition of patriotism has an expectation that it must be learned, the connotation, the shared meaning within the current cultural setting, demands that there be an element of free agency to patriotism that is not part of the shared definition of the totalitarian policies of either Fascism or Nazism. This element of choice is the difference between pledging one's life to fight for the love of their country and being coerc ...
... sell their children in order to get a loan from corrupt employers. The child is treated like a slave; he has no say in the matter and can be forced to work up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week (Barry 1). The conditions of these children are of great public concern. U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich and other notable politicians attempt to end the suf-fering of these impoverish children. Several companies and organizations are also con-cerned with the squalor these workers live in and their staggering working conditions. They attempt to not purchase products made by ers (Boukhari 2). Children all over the world are suffering from physical, emotional, and se ...
... rights for heightened judicial protection. Such landmark court decisions as Palko v. Connecticut stated this category includes those fundamental liberties that are “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty,” such that “neither liberty nor justice would exist if any fundamental liberties were sacrificed.” In Moore v. East Cleveland, fundamental liberties are characterized as those liberties that are “deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition.” Proscriptions against a fundamental right to homosexuals to engage in acts of consensual sodomy have ancient roots. Sodomy was a criminal offense at common law and was forbidden by the laws of th ...
... taken by injection or the pill it increases strength and endurance. Steroids also help in the healing process of muscular tissue by first injuring them, then the muscles heal quicker adding more fiber increasing their bulk. Many athletes turn to steroids more often because they're cheaper then marijuana or cocaine. A ten week cycle of testosterone cypinate and methandrostone costs only about one hundred dollars. Steroids are also very hard to trace because of their water base composition. They can pass through the body within two days. All these benefits of steroids help an athletes become more compe ...
... in other countries. It is quite obvious that the system currently running is quite imperfect. This paper will attempt to show flaws in Canada's immigration policy and suggest new policy's which fit better with Canada's social landscape. All over the world populations are growing at tremendous rates. Nothing in this world happens by accident, the populations are moving because they expect an increase in quality of life in the new country. Country's all over the world view Canada as a great place to live, the United Nations bills Canada as the best place to live. When third world people look at their present situations, they think that they could i ...

Whether or not conduct is unwelcome is a critical concept. Conduct is not welcome when it is unsolicited, when the victim has done nothing to incite it and when the victim views that conduct as undesirable or offensive. Simply because a woman acquiesces ti sexual demands-or par ...
... to elect the delegates and caucus participants go to meetings in their precincts to discuss and openly elect the candidate that they support. The party conventions, held in the summer before the November general election, formally nominate the winner of the primaries and caucuses. During the primaries, aspiring candidates for the nomination traditionally begin campaigning in the states that have the earliest primaries. As a result, voters in the states with early primaries receive exaggerated attention from the primary contenders and the news media. In many states, only a party's registered voters can vote in the party primary, which is known as a closed primary. ...
... 6 years later, he found himself totally isolated from the sport and unable to continue. Why you may say? Was it a great injury sustained? Was it a financial problem he faced? Did he lose interest in the sport? None of these actually. The only problem John Mcewick faced was a moral one. Unfortunately John Mcewick believed that sport was something that tested the combination of natural ability, training and determination and not the determination to do anything to win, even if it meant abusing their own bodies. What am I talking about, well John Mcewick was encouraged by people in the sport including his trainer to take substances such as steroids to improve his ...
... Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear. I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." He accurately describes American's as arriving with nothing but dreams ...
