Addiction Treatment

... selected for the study. One important factor for the operational definition will be what questions the articles ask and how well the findings they produce would support or not support my hypothesis. In fact, I used only studies that mentioned a relation in patient success or outcome and length of treatment, regardless of whether the outcome; or dependent variable, was positive or negative. There are other factors that have to be considered as variables and how they might influence the outcome of a clients treatment, ie; motivation for treatment, denial, family/support systems or the lack of them, ...

Lesbian By Choice
Number of Words: 632 / Number of Pages: 3
... your
group and swim downstream?
Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes
reference to two groups. There are many lesbians
that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand
on this subject, one would say these women never
questioned their sexual attraction. From day one,
they were attracted to other women. Although this
is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t
believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or gives
any more comfort or ease to the woman. The
elective lesbian is seen as having "elected" to be
lesbian. These are women who have experienced
heterosexual relations and have ...

It Is Time To Reaffirm Our Act
Number of Words: 1465 / Number of Pages: 6
... ourselves, based solely on the merit of our abilities and actions, and Not on our God-given skin-pigment and/or gender. Affirmative Action Programs have ingrained and extended into a very wide array of social programs and minority groups in the United States. Therefore, It would be impossible to fit every Affirmative Action issue within the length and scope of this research assignment. As a result, I will confine the discussion in this paper to the general philosophical ideology that serves as the core of Affirmative Action. That is preferential treatment based solely on race and gender, in the workpl ...

How Dole Could Have Used The Issues To His Advantage
Number of Words: 1229 / Number of Pages: 5
... political career,
President Clinton has been adamant on supporting a women's right to choose.
Clinton stands firm on the fact that abortions should be "safe, legal and rare"
without many unnecessary restrictions. To further show his hard stance on
abortion, Clinton vetoed a bill in April that would have banned a rarely used
procedure termed "partial birth abortions." President Clinton defended his
decision, calling it justifiable in extreme situations, such as cases of rape,
incest and to save the life of the mother. Unlike Bosnia and gays in the
military, Clinton has not wavered on this issue. Bob ...

Communism Is A Better Form Of Economic Organization Than Capitalism
Number of Words: 854 / Number of Pages: 4
... is good is because everyone in the country is
provided with a job, house and food; no one is denied the essentials of
life.
One of the most fundamental human rights is access to adequate health
care. In Communist countries the right of access to health care is very
well practiced, because no one is denied health care. In a Communist
country you could go to the Doctor for lets say a Flu shot or a complicated
procedure such as a triple coronary bypass surgery and the government will
pick up the tab, because in communist countries every life is valuable.
Economic systems which operate in a ...

Sex Education In The Classroom
Number of Words: 643 / Number of Pages: 3
... children need to know that there are diseases in our country like Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Genital Herpes, Genital Warts, Hepatitis, and even AIDS. Since 1986, Syphilis cases have increased by 100 percent (Haas and Haas 441). These kinds of facts need to be brought to students' attention. However, just because we inform our children of these diseases does not mean that they will not catch them, but they still need to be informed of the number of diseases that are incurable and can lead to death.
Diseases, though, are not all our youths have to worry about. Pregnancy is another major concern. "Th ...

R. V. Keilty

... needed to be proven as was in R.v.Russo
where the defendant was convicted of possession and trafficking even though he
did not posses at any time the narcotics. In the case R.v.Piscopo it was
demonstrated that an accused can be convicted upon circumstantial evidence. The
accused can be convicted using all of the aforementioned cases. Another issue
is that if this case becomes precedent it would open a "floodgate" or loophole
in the law where other criminals may escape through. This would allow for more
dangerous dealers of narcotics, who operate their business "long distance" to
escape prosec ...

Atomic Bomb

... as well. It was also a fact that the Japanese government had been equipping the commoners with any kind of weapon they could get their hands on. It is true that this could mean a Japanese citizen could have anything from a gun to a spear, but many unsuspecting soldiers might have fallen victim to a surprise spear attack! The number of deaths that would have occurred would have been much greater, and an invasion would have taken a much longer period of time. The Japanese would have continued to fight the US with all of what they had; spears, guns, knives, whatever they could get their hands on, just ...

Facism And Patriotism
Number of Words: 1265 / Number of Pages: 5
... (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 coerced and intimidated into obedience. There is also an element of equality associated with patriotism, as opposed to submission and sycoph ...
