Can't We All Just Get Along?: Competition
.... of moving forward.
Next, look at the way a cooperative nation would operate. The entire
system of employment, money, education, etc. would have to be completely
revamped. Instead of trying to surpass someone at something, you would help
that person come to your level. Everyone would have an equal opportunity to
education, a job, land, food, etc. This is called communism. Communism looks
brilliant on paper, but does it really work?
History suggests that communism doesn't work. This is thoroughly backed
by the fact that the inventor of communism, the Soviet Union, have fallen out
of its government, and demanded. Without .....

for Canadian food products. Europe had a large population explosion and tax
increase caused more and more to move to Canada. With the construction of the
CPR it was much easier to go west and settle the land which was cheap or free.
The Canadian government was promoting it's self every where with it's fur and
grains to encourage new comers and settlers that moved to the U.S. back to
Canada.

Charles Darwin And Imperialism
.... of Darwinism, they were fit to be the
imperial hegemon in the world. The issue this essay will deal with is
Imperialism and how Darwinism justified its practice. Darwin argued in his work,
The Decent of Man, "When civilised nations come into contact with barbarians
the struggle is short except where a deadly climate gives its aid to the native
race. . . the grade of civilisation seems to be a most important element in
success in competing nations."(Darwin, Decent of Man, p. 297).
In this observation, Darwin connotated superiority to civilized nations.
In this same work, he referred to the indigenous people as "savages .....

Child Labour
.... of this legislation is available. For example, the Ontario
Employment Standards Act states that individuals under the age of 18 must be
paid a minimum of $6.40 per hour1. Furthermore, through the Ontario Occupational
Health and Safety Act, regulations have been created which allow for a minimum
age of 16 for logging activities, 15 for factory activities other than logging,
and 14 for activities other than factory work2.
Unfortunately, an examination of child labour on an international scale
reveals the extent to which this situation exists, as well as the degree to
which problems can arise. "A systematic estimate, un .....

Communism: Overview

were also massive strikes by the workers. It was furthered by the abdication of
Czar Nicholas. The Russian Revolution itself occured throughout 1917, with the
start of the March Revolution. In April of 1917, Lenin return from exil in
Switerland and denounced the established provisional government. The next
general step was the gaining of the seats in the Petograd Soviet Parliment by
the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks picked Lenin to then head the government, just
several days after the November Revolution. During this revolution the peasants
storm the palace, taking total con .....

Did The Congress Made Amendment 14 To Punish The South?
.... state office. This is punishment to those leaders
of the Confederacy who have committed an act of treason. This is a suitable
punishment for these people who are not suited to hold any office.
Paragraph 4 states that debts incurred in aid of rebellion are void.
This drastically hurts the people who supported the south. If someone had sold
products to the south, expecting that after the war they would get paid a great
sum of money, than they would get nothing from the United States government and
nothing from those states. This was a sort of "payback" for those people who
aided the south.
These first four paragraphs, whi .....

The Doctrine Of Fascism
.... crushed after World War I. The humiliation imposed by the
victors in the Great War, coupled with the hardship of the economic
Depression, created bitterness and anger. That anger frequently found its
outlet in an ideology that asserted not just the importance of the nation, but
its unquestionable superiority and predestined role in history.
Italy was the birthplace of Fascist ideology. Mussolini, ironically a former
socialist journalist, organized the first Fascist movement in 1919 at Milan. In
1922 Mussolini led a march on Rome, he was given a government post by the
king, and began transforming the Italian g .....

The Equal Rights Amendment
.... strong opposition by some women and men, the NWP introduced and
Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1923. In order to
become law, the amendment needed a two-thirds vote in both houses of the
congress of the United States, or a supporting petition of two-thirds of the
state legislatures. Then the amendment would have required ratification by
three-fourths of the states. However, it failed to get the two-thirds majority
required to move onto the states for approval. The proposed amendment also
failed in following sessions until 1972, when it won a majority vote in Congress.
The main objectives o .....

Government Regulation
.... yourself the question, does the costs or regulation out weigh the benefits,
I believe they do not.
Regulatory programs normally are started by a group of people with a
single interest and pressure the government and people to believe that there is
a major crisis, creating panic to an alleged problem. When this happens it
pressures Congress to pass a reform law in fear of not being reelected. Media
groups also aid in creating panic by focusing on the bad and not the possible
solutions to fix the problem. What happens is Congress passes a reform that
they have little thought over and create costly new standards that could make

juveniles and criminals is a worthy one, but when it comes to unconstitutional
interrogation then its getting out of control. The government is currently

The people on capital hill say that they want a safer America, they want the

really want is a more productive best in its class nation.
History proves that criminal behavior cannot be controlled by the

Gun Control: Overview
.... These legislation's are some what effective and in
different ways. The only real way to eliminate most gun violence is to eliminate
the availability of guns. Surely making guns illegal would do this but this
raises a very important issue.
If you outlaw guns, only the outlaws will have guns. Simply put, no
matter how many bans you put out, there will always be the black market to
support the criminals in the U.S. Needless to say the law abiding citizens of
our country would be defenseless. The NRA has made sure that this will never
happen. What the United States needs is some one to pass a bill that will
protect all our citi .....
