Should Children Be Allowed To Testify In Court?
.... on a prior memory representation must be taken into account when it
comes to seeking answers to the reliability of their testimony, especially
because sexual abuse and sexual assault cases are a big part of children's
testimony and they are often the only witness.
Those psychologists who feel that children can be rated as “Highly
resistant to suggestion....” etc. seem to have a good argument, whereas those
who take the opposite view also seem to have just as valid an argument. Which
psychologists are right? Maybe both. It seems that without outside influences,
social encounters, or other interference's, children's .....

Should Quebec (or Other Provinces) Separate From Canada In Order To Best Protect Its Constitutional Rights?
.... Separation also leads to the decreasing of
trade in Canada, and even the whole world. Quebec is a big trade market in
Canada. People will lose this big market if Quebec is no longer a province of
Canada. This will not only harmful to Canada, but also the separated Quebec.
Quebec separation is also a morality problem. In fact, it is part of Canada.
People in a nation are like brothers and sisters, they should help and protect
each other. If Quebec separates, it will act like one of the family members
leave the family and no longer maintains his last name. Nobody wishes to have
this happens in his family.

The Bill Of Rights
.... patriots." Bush has not retracted, commented on, or clarified this
statement, in spite of requests to do so. According to Bush, this is one nation
under God. And apparently if you are not within Bush's religious beliefs, you
are not a citizen. Federal, state, and local governments also promote a
particular religion (or, occasionally, religions) by spending public money on
religious displays.
FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION: Robert Newmeyer and Glenn Braunstein were jailed in
1988 for refusing to stand in respect for a judge. Braunstein says the tradition
of rising in court started decades ago when judges entered carrying Bi .....

Origin of the CIA and KGB
The CIA was a direct result of American intelligence operations during
World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized the need to coordinate
intelligence to protect the interests of the United States. In 1941, he
appointed William J. Donovan to the head of the Office of Strategic Services
(OSS) with headquarters in London. Four departments made up the OSS: Support,
Secretariat, Planning, and Overseas Missions. Each of these departments directed
an array of sections known as 'operation groups'. This .....

The Evolution Of The First Amendment
.... Amendments early years were not entirely auspicious.
Although the early Americans enjoyed great freedom compared to citizens of other
nations, even the Constitution's framer once in power, could resist the string
temptation to circumvent the First Amendment's clear mandate. Before the 1930s,
we had no legally protected rights of free speech in anything like the form we
now know it. Critics of the government or government officials, called
seditious libel, was oftenly made a crime. Every state had a seditious libel
law when the Constitution was adopted. And within the decade of the adoption of
the First Amendment, the founding .....

The Graying Of America
.... share of the population over
the age of 65 will continue to grow well into the next century. Today,
approximately 13 percent of the population of the United States is over age 65.
By 2030 that percentage will increase to more than 20 percent. Even more
surprising, in less than 50 years, there will be as many Americans aged 80 and
older as there are now people over 65.
People are also living longer; In 1900 life expectancy was 47 at birth, and if
you lived to be 65, your life expectancy was suddenly 77. In 1993 it was 76 at
birth and 82 if you turned 65. At the same time, retirement ages have sunken. So
suddenly there were people l .....

Important Cases Of The US Supreme Court
.... to the free exercise of his
religious beliefs. The Supreme Court did not agree with Reynolds claiming that
congress was not without the power to punish violations of social duties or
subversive of good order. The court said that to place religious belief
superior to the law of the land, would in affect permit every citizen to become
a law unto himself. Government would exist only in name under such
circumstances. The ruling in this case has upheld that ones religious beliefs
do not permit him/her to break the law to suit his religion, and that that
governmental law presides over all religious beliefs. This is an example of t .....

Meissner said the latest effort, an extension of Operation Gatekeeper,
would add five Border Patrol agents on horseback to patrol the back country and
three dog teams to be assigned to checkpoints along rural roads. Meissner also
announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would join the operation to
break up illegal smuggling rings at the border. She said the Border Patrol

The Role Of The U.S. In The Third World In The Year 2000

particular actions of foreign government, whether it be environmental, social or
economic. Too many of current policies are aimed at creating markets for our
commercial interests.
We must also link aid with environmental issues, making the rain forest
and jungles more profitable to locals without bulldozing them. This has been
demonstrated in Uganda with the mountain gorillas. Eco-tourism is helping the
local economies and the national governments. This was also working in Rwanda
until Civil War tore this country apart. Fortunately the mountain gorillas
have been left alone for the .....

Most countries feel Japan deserves a permanent seat on the Security Council.
The UN proposed an elimination of 70 worldwide UN information centers on May
13,1996, With the supporting argument that with our current information
superhighways these centers are becoming antiquated. Nations such as Indonesia
and Chile argue that such cuts are unjust to those who have not been given the ”

Why The Taxes Are So High In Canada

until they find the job. Every-time, people get the job, they have to pay 5% of
their salary for unemployment insurance. Unemployment insurance provide a good
working condition for every worker. Also, it help unemployment people to find
the second job easier.
Second, senior pension and child tax benefits. Senior people and
children can not work and most parents have over two or three children in the
family. It would be very hard for parents to raise more than two children.
