U.S. Scourge Spreads South Of The Border
Number of Words: 2053 / Number of Pages: 8
... 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 exactly what I was planning to do
my paper on. Soon he is nosing his long yellow Oldsmobile through scruffy
streets choked with pharmacies. I asked fo ...

Date Rape
Number of Words: 902 / Number of Pages: 4
... while on the other hand, girls are brought up being passive and
"what you say goes" (Shuker-Haines and Stark 23) . This shouldn't be going on
in our society...not with the advancements we have made in our country.
It is sometimes said that the woman who was the victim of rape shared fault for
the rape for wearing a skirt too short, or maybe if she stops over at his house.
It shouldn't matter what women wear, or where they are. If a woman says no to
sexual activity, then everything should stop. There are also ways that men
"mis-interperate" things women say. For instance, when women sa ...

Capital Punishment: The Only Defense
Number of Words: 614 / Number of Pages: 3
... among the guilty and not to the punishment of the innocent. Maldistribution of any punishment among those who deserves it is irrelevant to its justice or morality. Punishments are imposed on a person, not a race or economic group. Guilt is personal. The only question that needs to be asked is, does the person who is to be executed deserve the punishment? And that is up to our justice system.
Equality in short seems morally less important than justice. The ideal of equal justice demands that justice be equally distributed, not that it be replaced by equality. Justice requires that as many of th ...

White Collar Crime Vs. Street Crime
Number of Words: 655 / Number of Pages: 3
... give for solving street crime is
more money for the Justice system. More cops, more judges, and definitely more
jails and prisons. There are shows, such as "Cops," that shows America the
"truth" about crime in the US. All the attention is given to street crime.
Unless it is a huge scandal, you will seldom hear of white collar crime through
the media. When white collar crime is reported, it gets little publicity
compared to a gang shoot-out that killed a mother and her three kids. There is
a reason for this. Since violent street crime is predominantly an urban problem,
there is no better ...

Raising The Minimum Age For A Driving License: Necessary Or Useless?
Number of Words: 250 / Number of Pages: 1
... simply do no good is the heart of this argument.
Some would say that raising the minimum age for a driving license will
clearly reduce the amount of car accidents in Israel. There will be fewer
drivers on the road, and this means fewer accidents, mathematically
speaking. Young drivers aren't mature enough to drive. They can not
comprehend the responsibility that is given to them by letting them sit
behind the wheel of a potentially lethal machine. It is risky to hand them
the access to this sort of transportation which can be misused in the form
of car races and speeding. The excessiveness of this a ...

Capital Punishment: Right Or Wrong?
Number of Words: 1153 / Number of Pages: 5
... an eye, tooth for a tooth” comes into play here. For example, New York State has a “zero tolerance” policy for murderers. Since this policy went into effect, the murder rate has been cut in half. This is because the killer knows he himself will be killed if he committs the crime. Also, no one has been put to death in New York State since 1976. This proves that the death penalty can help prevent murders, and kill the murderers. It also proves that just because a state has the death penalty, people don’t get executed every other day. Another reason killers should be dealt with by the death pena ...

Drinking Age

... at big risk. I'm not
blaming the accidents that involve drunk in just teens. Drunk drivers are
of all ages. And I'm not trying to say that all teens drink either. But
the ones that do and are stupid enough to say they're sober and can drive
home safe. Those are the ones that put innocent citizens at risk. The
drunk teens that drive are looking at getting their license provoked.
They go to jail, their car gets impounded, and of course they get a DUI.
At parties where teens get drunk, they can easily forget stuff. A
lot of times that's where teens get pregnant. The girls don't always kn ...

... whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.”
The Supreme Court’s decision that separate but equal is not equal began the desegregation of public schools. The decision resulted in forced busing of students. Some students now have to travel extremely far so that schools meet their quota of African American students. This is reason that some people, including some African Americans, wonder why such a decision is still in effect. These people believe that it is no longer necessa ...
