... gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, urinary tract, liver, brain cancers, and leukemia. About 75% of cancers of the esophagus and 50% of cancers of the mouth, and throat are attributed to alcoholism.

Number of Words: 2225 / Number of Pages: 9

... meet together and decide
what is best for the community and enact the appropriate laws. Any law which
was not directly created by the citizens is not valid, and if those laws are
imposed on people, that is equivalent to the people being enslaved.
The citizens of a society must both develop and obey `the supreme
decision of the general will', which is the society's determination of the
common good. It is not even thinkable that all citizens will agree on what good
is. Rousseau recognized this and accepted a term of majority rule. Those who
voted against a policy which is found to be the be ...

... more than an unrespected child trying to get attention. On the contrary, the only possible good thing that came out of Congress during this time was the Northeast
Ordinance.
This accomplishment, seemingly insignificant, gave the nation a method by which states could enter the union. This one success was not enough to save the Articles. Another convention was called to correct the weaknesses but the decision was made to prepare an entirely new document which is known as the Constitution.

... there would be too much diversity in opinion when deciding
exactly when help is needed. Also, countries such as Japan would never
have developed, whose primary success was to take the ideas of other
nations and better them.

for the gain of both nations. A more powerful nation can better its own
economy by sharing the resources of other nations and weaker nations are
able to obtain an improved standard of living by learning new technologies
that are more advanced than their own. Third world countries can receive

Political Process Of Early 1800’s
Number of Words: 638 / Number of Pages: 3
... It was not really until the early 1850’s when the voting bracket was truly changed to include nearly the entire white male American population.
The voting process from the beginning of this country was a horrible thing. It started off with people saying in front of their peers which candidate they were voting for. This made peer pressure a great influence in the voting process. “Vote for the wrong person, get beaten” (that was you, Wood.) Most states changed over to a written ballot where the voter had to write the names of fifteen electors on the ballot. Now this would turn off most voters today ...

Affirmative Action
Number of Words: 1237 / Number of Pages: 5
... because 50%
of their employees are Asian. Under the affirmative action, they must
employ someone who is underrepresented. This type of situation happens
often. It is not the qualifications, but the color of the skin that
employers look for today. Affirmative action is a step backwards. We are
back to color and race differences. We are all Americans and should be
treated as so, not what ethnicity we are. Affirmative action should be
abolished solely because we do not want to make the same mistake our
society made in the past --- discriminate according to color. Two wrongs
do not make a right. ...
