.... discrimination. does not eliminate discrimination. By highlighting the fact that some groups of people because of their sex, color, or origin, need special rules to advance in our society, only increases discrimination. Those people who are denied employment or education at the school of their choice because a certain number of minorities must be admitted, are undeniably hostile towards the groups that they see as "taking their jobs." If we continue to stress the color lines of the past discrimination will never disappear. We need to start thinking of everyone in America as equal, each .....

.... for a variety of crimes. The most famous people to be executed are Socrates and Jesus. Only in England, during the reigns of King Canute (1016-1035) and William the Conqueror (1066-1087) was the death penalty not used, although the results of interrogation and torture were often fatal (Kronenwetter 12). Later, Britain reinstated the death penalty and brought it to its American colonies. Although the death was widely accepted throughout the early United States, not everyone approved of it. In the late-eighteen century, opposition to the death penalty gathered enough strength to lead .....

.... was just brutully murdered... and on top of all this he has to control his rage in the court room. Put your self in shoes for a minute, would you really want this man back on the streets on parolle for good behavior in prison. Would you find any relief in knowing he is locked up in a comfy jail cell with cable tv, and recieving a chance for parolle in 20 or so years. No this man needs to be on death row, awaiting execution. Rehabilitation isn't used on death row because the criminals have aready been found to be a future risk to society, but if there was no Death Penalty do yo .....

.... larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. The American colonies adhered with Englands' view on the death penalty, for there was little they could do about it. However in the 1750's reform movements spread through Europe, and in 1847 they reached the United States. In 1847, Michigan became the first state to abolish the death penalty for murder. Beginning in 1967, executions were suspended to allow the appellate courts to decide whether the death penalty was unconstitutional. In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty for murder or for rape violated t .....

.... by comparing it with an extreme form of the punishment he is proposing, simply leaves the reader with a negative feeling towards both forms of punishment rather than bolstering his view. The third paragraph of this essay is primarily concerned with persuading the reader that the rate of imprisonment is on the rise, and that this form of punishment is now the form of choice in the United States. He cites the statistic,” 1.6 million Americans are behind bars today. That represents a 250 percent increase since 1980, and the number is climbing.” Lets look at this piece of information and a .....

.... to death each year (although most sentences were commuted by royal pardon). In the American colonies before the Revolution, the death penalty was commonly authorized for a wide variety of crimes. Blacks, whether slave or free, were threatened with death for many crimes that were punished less severely when committed by whites. The Reform Movement Efforts to abolish the death penalty did not gather momentum until the end of the 18th century; in England and America this reform was led by the Quakers (Society of Friends). In Europe, a short treatise, On Crimes and Punishments (1764), by the I .....

.... not protected by the First Amendment, it becomes a question of, how far will the government go? When do they stop censoring, and how do they decide what is obscene? "The equation is simple: Those who have power get to censor, and those who lack power get silenced. If you find yourself in a position to demand and get censorship, you can be sure you are among those who have the power, and you are acting to oppress others." (Avedon Carol: BM FAC, Ph: (0181)552-4405) Another reason against censorship is that the Internet is a responsibility. Although a large percentage of the material on the .....

.... 16, 1920, the great law went into effect. The Eighteenth amendment made it forbidden to manufacture, sell, transport, import or export any intoxicating liquors. This was controversial because it turned the common hard working man or woman, who enjoyed a drink after a hard day's work, into a criminal in the law's eyes. In The History of Prohibiton, a web site by J. McGrew, it states that Prohibiton also gave criminals, such as Al Capone, the opportunity to feed off the illegal substance. The organized crime circuit ate up Prohibition and began to boot leg alcohol. Local pharmacies and ba .....
