Employee Drug Testing
Number of words: 1197 - Number of pages: 5.... testing those involved and conduct random drug tests. Recent litigation has focused not on whether an employer may test but on how the test is done.
For preemployment screening, the ADA requires that medical exams not be done before the applicant has received a conditional offer of employment, but it specifically excludes drug tests. However, many companies hoping to avoid defamation suits retain a medical review officer to examine test results and possibly talk with the person concerned, to see if there's an innocent explanation for a positive test result. In some interpretations, that tur .....

National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People
Number of words: 704 - Number of pages: 3.... figures in history signed "The Call" , e.g., Ida Wells
Barnett, Jane Adams, W.E.B. DuBois and John Dewey. In a matter of two months,
another conference was held. As a result of that conference, the NAACP was born.
A distinct factor of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, which set it apart from its congruent movement, the Niagara Movement,
was involvement of both races. The early success was due in large part to the
interracial membership (Franklin 91). A large part of the membership consisted
of white socialist and liberals (Franklin). For some time the NAACP .....

The Wild Life: Single And Married Couples
Number of words: 758 - Number of pages: 3.... filled
with chaos. Everything is up in the air. They have no idea what day it is
much less if they have plans for the next weekend. Married people operate
on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is necessary to fit
everything in. A couple of weeks ago I ran into an old friend, an old yet
single friend. We talked for a while, reminiscing about high school and
past boyfriends, and decided we had to get together some time soon. She
and I tried to set a lunch date, or even a dinner date. After I offered
several possible days and times she concluded that she would have to get

Privacy For Public Officials
Number of words: 1544 - Number of pages: 6.... personalization of politics and made it impossible for public officials to have any kind of private life.
One of the more interesting aspects of the recent coverage of political scandals has been the press' extensive coverage of itself. Not only has the behavior of political leaders been under fire, but also the media's reporting of it. Media outlets are now more plentiful than ever, with online news sources joining those established in radio, print and television and all are competing for breaking news. The pressure to get the story, some argue, has led to the reporting of rumor and unveri .....

Interracial Adoption
Number of words: 2690 - Number of pages: 10.... is to a person depends of the individual. The more you learn about your own heritage, the more enlightened you are to others. Some families celebrate their heritage by cooking certain types of food, with recipes handed down from generation to generation. Others celebrate holidays differently or not at all.
America is known as the “melting pot,” where people of different backgrounds live together. People with different background marry and start their own traditions. These differences are not visible, but skin color and hair texture are visible. In Ivor Gaber’s article, He writes h .....

Legalizing Of Homosexual Marriages
Number of words: 1737 - Number of pages: 7.... marriages. The second part of the bill would define
"for federal purposes" as the union of a man and a woman. Under such a
definition gay and lesbians, even if they win the right to marry in Hawaii
or elsewhere, would not be able to file joint federal tax returns, claim
federal pension, or survivor's benefits, or be allowed to file for green
card status (Gallagher 21).
I don't feel that marriages between gays or lesbians should be given the
same status as heterosexual marriages. Since when do gay people think they
can broaden the institution of marriage to include themselves? The .....

Knights And Chivalry
Number of words: 935 - Number of pages: 4.... Middle Ages, rulers
formed secular orders of chivalry such as the English Order of the Garter and
the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time, however, chivalry had
become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in which knights had
originally risked their lives in jousting combat before the ladies, became
simply elaborate, stylized, and harmless entertainments. Moreover, the expense
of this and other trappings of knighthood led many nobles who were eligible for
knighthood, having served the customary apprenticeship of 7 years as a page at a
noble court and another 7 as a .....

The Problems Of Affirmative Action
Number of words: 592 - Number of pages: 3.... that did fit the requirement would not fit the quota. Thus, many more deserving majority Americans were denied jobs and acceptance to college because the quota had to be met.
Affirmative Action promotes the hiring of less skilled workers, thus creating reverse discrimination. It upsets employers, forcing them to choose the best employee from a limited pool of minorities, not just simply the best employee. This creates a hostile environment where the employer is not satisfied with his choice, and where the peers of the employee look down upon him. All of these affect the moral of the workers .....

The Art Of Reasoning
Number of words: 3566 - Number of pages: 13.... daily lives.
2. Method of Authority
Once the state/church reaches a settled opinion, then let them teach that
belief and have those who reject it be terrified into silence.
This method has been much more successful than the method of tenacity
historically. For most people, this is the method that they use to fix
their beliefs, so long as they don't mind being intellectual slaves.
However, the state/church cannot regulate every opinion, and of course
people from other countries/cultures/religions who hold contrary beliefs
may influence public opinion.
3. A Priori Method
Since the two ab .....
