.... the project, but he was ignorant to the fact that proposing is just as important as the unique design of the building. In other words, he did not realize that allowing Keating to propose the project to be a threat to his individualistic ideals. Roark’s unnoticed failure greatly changes the logic of his testimony. He explains how the great scientists and thinkers were condemned for their new ideas. He is obviously paralleling this to the Cortlandt project. It is incredibly true that as the ideas endured criticism and condemnation, they were eventually seen as good and very useful. This .....

.... from South America. It is estimated that about 400 tons of cocaine is smuggled out of South America each year. Half of this cocaine ends up on the streets of the United States. Cocaine is a stimulant. That means that when it is used, it speeds up the way the brain works. It causes the brain to send out too many electrical signals that then get mixed up. Because the brain tells the heart how fast and often to beat, using cocaine can make the heart pump so fast that it damages the muscles or can lead to a heart attack. Since the brain also tells the lungs how often and how deep to .....

.... children to view a program showcasing the sexual adventures of a 14-year-old girl who married her 71-year-old foster father"(Flint and Wharton). To those who do not tune into these shows this discription may sound like an exaggeration; however, it is not. This is exactly the type of topics on some shows. Not only are half the shows ridiculous with topics of deceit, revenge and "extreme behavior", but some of them are false(Flint and Wharton). On the Jerry springer Show a Canadian comedy troupe went on the show and created a story. The story was that one of the men had an affair with his b .....

.... pay if they fall behind on their quotas. These workers often live seven to a room in barracks that are surrounded by inward-facing barbed wire. The lawsuits maintain that some companies forced pregnant women to have abortions to maintain production levels. The lawsuits also contend that the foremen of the factories often limit bathroom breaks, and the exits in the buildings are often locked, which create fire hazzards. These discoveries were found by private investigators. There are three lawsuits that seek more than $1 billion in damages, which have been based on the private investiga .....

.... post-war America, is almost wholly responsible for the policy of containment. Nuclear weapons were part of an integrated system of containment and deterrence. Truman told Kennen in early 1947 that, "Our weapons of mass destruction are not fail-safe devices, but instead the fundamental bedrock of American security". They were never intended as first strike weapons and had no real tactical value. The bomb is purely strategic, and its value comes not from its destructive capabilities, but from its political and psychological ramifications. Kennen was never naive enough to view the bomb as .....

.... it is transformed from a flower to an illegal street drug. The entire metamorphosis starts with the opium poppy plant. This flower is grown chiefly by impoverished farmers in remote regions of the world. The opium poppy flourishes in the dry, warm climates of countries such as Turkey, Pakistan, Laos and Colombia. After three months, the flower’s petals fall away, exposing an egg-shaped seed pod. The opaque, milky sap is extracted from the seed pod by slitting it vertically in parallel cuts with a special curved knife. When the sap oozes out, it forms a thick, brownish-black gum which is the .....

.... this essay, there will be a better understanding of who really has political power in Canada. Though this paper is an analysis of elitism, we must also dissect the concept of democracy. Needless to say, without democracy in a political system, elitism would not exist. Democracy was a concept developed by the Greeks and the Romans during the classical period. It comes from the Greek word "demos", which means "the people"; and "kratien", which means "to rule". In essence, democracy is a nation’s people rule themselves through elected representatives. Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia reminds us .....

.... government would concentrate on other harsh crimes, and that public treasuries would have an increase of ten billion dollars a year. The importance of the issue for the legalization of marijuana is gaining importance as the use of marijuana increases. In the 1970’s, America faced a significant drug problem. Through education, law enforcement and treatment, illicit drug use was reduced in the 1980’s by fifty percent. Teenagers graduating in 1992 were fifty percent less likely to use drugs than were those who graduated in 1979. (“Marijuana as a Medicine,” California Narcotic Officers .....

.... a secret confession? Wouldn't you love to be cloned? I've never admitted it before, but I think I would. This has nothing to do with vanity, with thinking that the world would be a better place if there was another one of me going on after I'm dead. It is pure curiosity. I know how I turned out having been born in the 1940s, schooled in the 1950s, come of age in the 1960s, and so on. I find it a personally riveting thought that I could watch a small copy of myself, fifty years younger and wearing a baseball hat instead of a solar topee, nurtured through the early decades of the twenty .....
