Equal Employment Opportunity Affirmative Action Programs
1,452 words
The Necessity for Affirmative Action: During the
American Revolution Thomas Jefferson and America's
founding fathers struggled for freedom and
equality. Years of agonizing battling took place,
and finally emancipation was gained and America
was formed. As a society we have grown to believe
that America equals equality, when in fact it does
not. When the declaration of independence was
created only white male colonists were created
equally. Over 224 years have gone by since our
foundation was lai...

Majority Of The People Proportional Representation

John Stuart Mill on Proportional Representation
Two very different ideas are usually confounded
under the name democracy. The pure idea of
democracy, according to its definition, is the
government of the whole people by the whole
people, equally represented. Democracy as commonly
conceived and hitherto practiced, is the
government of the whole people by a mere majority
of the people, exclusively represented. The former
is synonymous with the equality of all citizens;
the latter, strangely confou...

Culturally Integrated Society Persons With Disabilities
1,924 words
Canada has long been called "The Mosaic", due to
the fact that it is made up of a varied mix of
races, cultures and ethnicities. As more and more
immigrants come to Canada searching for a better
life, the population naturally becomes more
diverse. This has, in turn, spun a great debate
over multiculturalism. Some of the issues under
fire are the political state's policies concerning
multiculturalism, the attitudes of Canadians
around these policies, immigration, the global
market, and a central ...

Scotland Pride Or Shame
976 words
Gazing round the streets of Glasgow at around one
in the morning, I fill with shame. Police sirens
scream in exasperation and drunken fights cloud my
eyes. The smell of alcohol and stale cigarette
smoke advances towards me, making the food in my
stomach churn. This is hardly a sight to be proud
of I think, as I begin to realise just how ashamed
I am of being Scottish. Although some people may
argue over Scotland's good points. For example
some of the scenery we hold is beautiful and that
we have...

Leadership Skills Good Leader
969 words
A strong leader is not necessarily a good one. In
a group, there are always people who prove to have
better leadership skills then others. The
strongest of these people can often influence the
weaker people into following them. However, the
strongest person is not necessarily the best
leader as it is proven in William Golding's novel,
The Lord of the Flies. Although Ralph is the
weaker person, he is still able to demonstrate a
better understanding of people than Jack who is
stronger. Ralph demon...

Living on a Lifeboat In his article Living on a

what is going to happen to the world, as we know
it, if proponents of Liberalism will be allowed to
impose their degenerative social doctrines upon

scientifically proven statistical data, Hardin
leaves us with no doubt that it will only be the

Characters In Great Miss Havisham
2,712 words
Characterization in Dickens (1) It is not a secret
that Charles Dickens is now being referred to as
one of Britains greatest writers. This can be
partially explained by the fact that he pioneered
the method of literary realism, which is the
reason why his books provide readers with the
insight on the realities of Victorian era. Despite
the fact that plots of Dickens masterpieces often
incorporate fantastic elements, the actual
portrayal of characters in his books is
distinguished with utter real...

Religion And Science Science And Religion
1,753 words
Psychology of Religion The relationship between
religion and science is a problem significant for
a psychology based on the notion that individuals
construct their own worlds. The issue is equally
pertinent to any of the constructivist
perspectives but is most clearly seen in one
particular psychology, personal construct
psychology. In this last perspective, we see the
clearest example of the apparent tension that
arises between that psychology's model of the
person as "scientist" on the one han...

Shakespeare's treatment of illegitimacy in the
play King Lear can be interpreted in many ways
depending on the audience. The situation of
illegitimacy is portrayed through the
relationships of the characters the Earl Of
Gloucester and his two sons Edgar and Edmund.

Dualism Defending Materialism Defending
Materialism Dualism means the complete separation
of the mental world and the physical world. In
philosophy, it is the theory that the world is
explicable only as a world composed of two
distinct and mutually exclusive factors: the mind
and the body. Socrates and Plato are called
dualists because they think that mind and body are
separate and distinct substances. Mind is
conscious and non-spatial and body is spatial but
not conscious. While separate, the t...

Evolution of Profanity The evolution of written
profanity began roughly in the sixteenth century,
and continues to change with each generation that
it sees. Profanity is recognized in many
Shakespearean works, and has continually evolved
into the profane language used today. Some cuss
words have somehow maintained their original
meanings throughout hundreds of years, while many
others have completely changed meaning or simply
fallen out of use. William Shakespeare, though it

Law Of Nature Categorical Imperative
1,211 words
Whereas a teleological theory of ethics holds that
an action is right, depending on the consequences;
a deonteological theory states that an action is
right, depending on the nature of the act itself,
or of the intention of the person performing the
act. Immanuel Kant, a deonteologist, once said, It
is mans ability to reason, his own ability to
think objectively and apart from his own
circumstances and doings, that distinguishes him
from all other creatures. Reason is an innate
