Trying Juviniles As Adults
Number of Words: 2492 / Number of Pages: 10
... Young offenders commit these crimes because they feel neglected, that no one cares, and this is a way to get attention. However, professional¡¦s say that juvenile offenders commit these crimes due to being abused or even ignored as a child (Valentine). Telling a parent to not ignore, punish, or leave your child home alone or your child could grow to become a criminal, seems severe. Why don¡¦t we just tell them how to raise their children? We as a society can not place the blame on a parent the juveniles are the ones at fault. Juvenile crime is dated as far back as the 1600¡¦s. Where ¡§in the Massachuse ...

... ugly than to subject her to thousands of unrealistic, airbrushed pictures of models to compare herself to. This way of thinking is further drilled into the female mind through women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue and so on. Never do you find an article entitled “Big is Beautiful”. More often you will find “How to lose 20 lb.. so your man will love you!” sprawled across the cover of the latest issue. Occasionally magazines will run a heart touching article about an ex-models fight with bulimia. They will often forget to mention, however, that the same model was portrayed as the pinnacle of heal ...

Harsher Penalties For Violent
Number of Words: 647 / Number of Pages: 3
... We have people who have killed
in cold blood, sitting in jail to rot. This makes me think. Why should a criminal live
better than I am? We give the criminals of today too much credit and not enough
hard time. I would give them enough food to live on, a cot, toilet, and sink. if more
people could read the college essay I read before writing this they would
understand. The writer says in his paper that even though the death penalty is used
in a state, there is not usually a change in the crime rate. This means that no one is
afraid of it.
If we would start punishing criminals, with punishments ...

... by the executions which they
considered to be needlessly brutal. What they lacked was new leadership to
focus the restless energy of the Irish into effective political action, but it
was not long in coming. At Christmas 1916 all rebel prisoners who had been
interned without trial, those that the British had considered insignificant,
were released as a goodwill gesture to the United States which had been very
angry by British conduct regarding the rebels. This proved to be a costly
mistake. Among those released was a cadre of IRB men who had spent their time
in prison educating and organizin ...

Written Speech On Teen Suicide
Number of Words: 3263 / Number of Pages: 12
... Even more
amazing is that 400,000 to 2 million teens attempt to commit suicide
each year. Psychologists and therapists, teachers and school couslers,
leaders of youth groups, and researchers who study society and young
people have come up with a list of reasons as to why the teen decided to
kill themselves. The list of culprits is long: too much divorce, too little
religion, too much television, and too little communication between parents
and children have been blamed. Absent parents, too much sexual freedom,
widespread use of drugs and alcohol, too many guns, not enough love, and
a world that ...

Real Face Of Terrorism
Number of Words: 1523 / Number of Pages: 6
... to the Albanians but the violence against them was not one of coercion but of revenge. The hostage crisis at the American embassy in Teheran twenty years ago was another example of terrorism based on revenge. While that incident involved the political theme of the revolution in Iran and the authorities used it to promote their Islamic ideology, those that carried out the hostage crisis took over the embassy in a fit of rage and under the euphoria of anger against anything American. They had already achieved their goal, which was to rid the American backed Shah who ruled the country with terror; the ...

The Power Of The Judiciary
Number of Words: 1643 / Number of Pages: 6
... of
"Checks and Balances" would then be the Executive watching over the Legislative,
and the Legislative watching over the Executive. To be more specific it would
be Congress watching over the President and the President watching over Congress.
(The Federalist Papers, #51)
This system, as I mentioned earlier seemed to be the perfect protection
against tyranny of any kind, and in fact it is quite effective, but I feel the
problem is in that the Federalists didn't take into account that the Judiciary
would in fact become a policy making branch in itself, with the power to check
any one of the other t ...

Social Security recipients, most all elderly and some of the poor.

... "The ACLU on Gun Control", the national ACLU policy is neutrality (1).
All factions in this debate have some merit, some more than others. All use a

presenting some of their history, their views, and how they make their cases.
The NRA is perhaps the most well known of the participants. They were formed
after the Civil War, in 1871, as an organization dedicated to the rifle
marksmanship of the state Militias. This was due to Union Army's lack of
marksmanship. Following World War II, many returning veterans joined the rank ...

Is The Unites States Political System A Legitimate Democracy?
Number of Words: 1313 / Number of Pages: 5
... is doing if legitimacy is to occur.
The U.S. government may be considered legitimate in some aspects, and illegitimate in others. Because voting is class-biased, it may not be classified as a completely legitimate process. Although in theory the American system calls for one vote per person, the low rate of turnout results in the upper and middle classes ultimately choosing candidates for the entire nation. Income and education determine class, and differing levels of these two factors can help explain why class bias occurs. For example, because educated people tend to understand politics m ...
