... ways. He states in Document C why the veto was unreasonable. Webster also warns how it may backfire due to the injustice. Foreign observers viewed that in America everybody is free and independent, as taken from the opinion of Harriet Martineau, a British author (Document D). On the other hand, the outlook from inside the country was opposed according to New York City businessman and Whig politician, Philip Hone. Hone described two riots he witnessed that had broken out between minorities in the country (Document E). Martineau viewed America in the big picture; she saw the country as an outsider, a tourist, seeing the sights. Whereas Hone observed the U ...
... I noticed that female customer service representatives were more apt to offer immediately friendly assistance than were the male attendants whom I observed on another occasion. Males are not as cocky nor as confident in this sort of situation; their eyes tend to dart around the area while the eyes of a woman remain focused upon the eyes of the customer. The man seems to communicate with fewer smiles--apparently they have to get past a certain "ice-breaking" point before they will feel comfortable with a genuine look of happiness. Verbally, the actual process of speech is also quite different between males and females. The former usually tends to have a more base- ...
... spice trade which was dominated by the Dutch." But after colonizing a post a Madras in 1640, the company was re-chartered to include such rights as coining money and act as government to British subjects at the East India Company's posts. As well, the British government also gave the company the right to make was or peaceful arrangements with powers who were non-Christian. This control expanded with the founding of a port at Bombay in 1668, and the founding of Calcutta in 1690. Then in 1756, a young employee named Robert Clive, who had been named lieutenant-governor in 1755, was sent to take back Calcutta from the Bengal nawab. He accomplished this in Janua ...
... success of the Internet is its protection of free speech, not only in America, but not in other countries where free speech is not protected by a constitution. To be found on the Internet is a huge collection of obscene graphics, Anarchists’ cookbooks and countless other things that offend some people. With over 30 million Internet users in the U.S. alone everything is bound to offend someone. The newest wave of laws floating through law making bodies around the world threatens to stifle this area of spontaneity. Recently, Congress has been considering passing laws that will make it a crime punishable by jail time to send “vulgar” language over the net ...
... equality in all aspects of a criminal trial is the central ideal, research shows that the system falls short of this. Nagel and Weitzman (1972) summarized research by various investigators. When data was compiled on criminal cases, a clear discrimination was found in favor of women. It was found that women were awarded lesser sentences than their male counterparts for the same crimes; these differences were found for both larceny and felony cases. The leniency given to women was found to be similar to that of minors, both male and female. Nagel and Weitzman offer explanations for this discrimination, although no clear explanation has been discovered. They ...
... necessary to separate in order to protect French culture and language. Furthermore if French-Canadian wants to avoid any influence from other culture, France is the greatest place for them. Moreover, the Canada government will lose money if Quebec separates by dealing with the separation affairs, like to help people in Quebec back to Canada who do not want to separate. Separation also leads to the decreasing of trade in Canada, and even the whole world. Quebec is a big trade market in Canada. People will lose this big market if Quebec is no longer a province of Canada. This will not only harmful to Canada, but also the separated Quebec. Quebec separat ...
... which need expensive fuel and maintenance, to people who have harvested their crops by manpower for hundreds of years? We know for a fact that the money we grant is not being used adequately. A lot of the money is taken by the governments of the less developed countries, and a great amount of the sum are not being used to the purposes they are meant for. Bribery and corruption are huge problems in developing countries. It makes more sense to dig wells for people who walk for miles every day to get their daily water supply, than to support officials with BMWs and grand houses. The World Bank was established, and a large amound of capital was poured in, despite of the ...
... problem with other types of drugs like Heroin, Crystal Methamphetamine, and Cocaine." I recently visited the neighbor city of Tijuana and rode in a Tijuana taxi and was immediately met with a taxi driver named Jose, a Tijuana taxi driver in an open-necked, baby blue silk shirt, he sizes up the tourists trudging off the footbridge from the United States. “Taxi, sir? You want pharmacy? I get you a good pharmacy,” he urges, stepping from a line of beckoning taxi drivers in big belts and straw cowboy hats. “Good prices! No prescriptions!” Do I look like I want drugs?! I didn't even solicit the business. I almost felt weird because this is exact ...
... smaller crime rate. Some say that if we cut down on prison terms we will save loads of tax money. There will be less need to build, maintain, and expand existing staff if there are fewer prisoners. But how much more can we cut these sentences, aren't they short enough already? The average jail sentence is seven years and eleven months, but the actual average time served is two years and eleven months. I think there are better ways to save money. For example, we should cut back on the funding of foreign governments. We have plenty of our own problems in the United States that we need to take care of. We should take care of our own before we try to help other ...
