Bureaucratic Pathologies
Number of words: 517 - Number of pages: 2.... forms must be filled out.
Conflict exists because some agencies seem to be working at cross-purposes with other agencies.
Duplication, usually called “wasteful duplication”, occurs when two government agencies seem to be doing the same thing.
To end conflict and duplication, Congress would have to make some policy choices and set some clear priorities, but with all the competing demands that it faces, Congress finds it difficult to do that.

Pro-Death Penalty
Number of words: 997 - Number of pages: 4.... in the number of death sentences handed down by the courts. Despite the fact that the number of inmates on death row is climbing, the number of death sentences actually carried out in any given year lags far behind.

Gangs
Number of words: 1506 - Number of pages: 6.... small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of television watched by children are educational, so other ideas are being absorbed during this period of time. M .....

proof. But, Jerome Frank, one of delegates of legal realists, criticized
jury system in Law & the Modern Mind, 1930. " A lot of verdicts are
irresponsible juries' products of caprice and prejudice, for example, the
defendant is a rich corporation, the plaintiff is a poor boy and the
counsel is an eloquent speaker. Such facts often decide who wins or loses."
He characterizes that juries have tendency to like weak people and hate
strong people. Jury system seems to have many problems. A sophisticated and
rich person, a person of position an .....

the public eye by Harry J. Anslingler, the commissioner of the Federal Bureau of

Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. This law made the use and dale of marijuana federal

The Misconception Of The Death Penalty
Number of words: 897 - Number of pages: 4.... offered arguments for the death penalty are filled with holes. Defenders of the death penalty have said it is a deterrent, removes killers, is the ultimate punishment, is biblical, satisfies the public's need for retribution. It has also been said that it relieves the anguish of the victim's family. Realistically, imposing the death penalty is expensive and time consuming. Retroactively, it has yet to be proven as a deterrent. Morally, it is a continuation of the cycle of violence and degrades all who are involved in its enforcement, as well as its victim.
Perhaps the most frequent .....

Capital Punishment, Should It Or Should It Not Be Used In Today's Criminal Judging System

jurisdictions that provide for capital punishment" The highest homicide rates
were also in Death Penalty states .....

Number of words: 632 - Number of pages: 3.... upstream, why would you want to go against 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

any more comfort or ease to the woman. The
elective lesbian is seen as having "elected" to be
lesbian. These a .....
