Immigration Should Be Restricted
.... anyone hire an American worker at a higher rate, when an immigrant will do the same work for less pay? This increased competition for jobs is certainly related to the saturation of unemployed immigrants in the U.S.
In addition to the economic problems that arise with immigration, there are also many social issues as well. Some of these issues include education, communication, and assimilation. The public school systems of the U.S. today are inadequate enough, without the hassle of trying to cope with immigrants. Assuming that the immigrant children are bilingual(most of which are not), they will still have much trouble adjus .....

The Theories Of Hobbes And Locke
.... state of war. Hobbes also contends that if there is not a power to keep people in awe, they will continually be in war against each other. In other words, there is no security without a system such as our own, with consequences for actions that infringe on the rights of others. The crucial part of this system is thus enforcement of policy. Hobbes explains this as, "And covenants, without the sword, are but words, and of no strength to secure a man at all." This makes sense that, without something for people to fear if they go against the laws, they will naturally infringe on the rights of others simply because it may be in thei .....

To Have Intellectual Freedom Or To Be Censored
.... when you limit the freedoms, you prevent everything that can be used for the good of human beings, as no freedom means no development.
From the beginning of the existence of human beings, intellectual freedom has been seen as an inevitable fact of his/her life. So intellectual freedom - as a part human life- by experiencing many changes in different periods of the history, has also evolved itself. As Bekir Özgen (1994:20-27) expresses in his book ‘Düşünce Özgürlüğü ve Laiklik’that, “Özgür düşüncenin insan kafasına yerleşmesi uzun zaman almıştır. Kolay olmamıştır. Çünkü insan her zaman bir ‘otoriteye bağımlılık’ duymuştur . . . .....

The Constitution And Gun Control
.... all the police you want. They do not stop crime while it is happening. Armed citizens can stop the crime before it ever even happens.
How many times have you read about someone walking into a public place and opening fire? Sometimes the person even stops and reloads. What would you do if you were there? Hide and wait to be shot? Or would you hope that someone else is armed? After all, one armed citizen could stop the shooting! Criminals don't wait for you to call the police! Why should you have to wait on the police to come to your rescue? Don't you have the right to defend your own life?
Does the constitution offer protection .....

Democracy Best Form Of Government?
.... the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. A word closely associated with democracy is equality. The only way a for a government to be a true democracy, there must be certain kinds of equality in society. The four most well-known are equality of rights, suffrage, schooling, and justice. The equality of rights means that “all men are created equal”. This being true, all people have the same natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Suffrage is the most basic right because it is the main safeguard of democracy. All citizens should have the right to vote there are no exclusions on the basis of race or .....

What Is America?
.... southern states seceded, and a war was fought between the rebels and the Union for four long, bloody years. However this battle did not end without a gain, for in 1863 President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves.
Even after slavery was lifted from America’s moral back, the movement to reform America continued. Soon after the Civil War, women began to fight for equal rights, and in particular, for enfranchisement. After battling “old guard” politicians as well as common prejudices for many years, women were eventually granted suffrage in 1920 under the 19th amendment.
Another social problem .....

The Death Penalty
.... "even a light error in dosage or administration can leave a prisoner conscious but paralyzed with pain, serving as a witness for his own demise." The following is an eye witness account of an Arizona gas chamber execution given by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: "When the fumes enveloped Don's head he took a quick breath. A few seconds later, he looked again in my direction. His face was red and contorted as if he were attempting to fight through tremendous pain. His mouth was pursed shut and his jaw was clenched tight. Don then took several more quick gulps of the fumes. His body started convulsing .....

Political Parties
.... Europe and North America in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when elected legislatures became a dominant force in government.
In the earliest decades in which political parties existed, their memberships were quite small. In the United States and England, for example, most citizens were not allowed to vote. Party membership, therefore, consisted mainly of landowners, members of the nobility, factory owners, merchants, and other wealthy individuals By the third decade of the 19th century in the United States, and somewhat later in Europe, the right to vote was extended to include most white males. When more people could v .....

Imperialism
.... give themselves a boost. It's survival. Humans are that way, only more complex and less instinctive. That in no way makes imperialism right... but it does remove some blame from Europeans. The world powers had a "right" to take the land because they said that they did, and back then, as now, supreme rule makes the rules. Also, they thought that they were civilizing the "poor" Africans. Unfortunately, their involvement in Africa held catastrophic results for the Africans: slavery, poverty, civil unrest, not to mention years of already successful civilization, if primitive, wasted. The worst thing in the world is a well-intentione .....

The Secret Service
.... of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Gutenberg Bible, and other valuable documents during World War II. Additionally they have provided protection for a number of foreign leaders who visited the U.S. during World War II as well as protecting Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" while on exhibit in the United States. This showed that the Secret Service could do more than protect just the president.
This is a short history of the Secret Service. The secret service has provided many services to the U.S, most of which in our day is protection. Hopefully, the Secret Service will continue its protective servic .....

Juvenile Crime And Prevention
.... to the Little Hoover Commission about the proper state role, the California Youth Authority said that while history shows that the juvenile justice system has been a shared state-local responsibility, prevention activities have been primarily local activities:
The state role is limited to advising, evaluating, coordinating and providing technical assistance and information. Indeed, the juvenile justice system in its entirety is somewhat limited in its ability to fundamentally alter the causes and correlates of juvenile crime. Rather, the Youth Authority believes that the most effective approaches to prevention of youth crime an .....
