.... welfare system has difficulties supporting the huge numbers of immigrants coming into the country each year.

The Urban Institute is a non-profit organization that investigates the social and economic problems of this country. Statistics from a Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) newsletter shows, “. . . the share of immigrant households below the poverty line (29 percent) is much h .....

.... essay, The Future of Diplomacy. Diplomacy, in the eyes of Morgenthau, is fourfold. First of all, diplomacy must take in respect the objective and the means by which it can be attained. For example, if a weak nation is trying to use diplomacy, it must first determine how much power it has in relation to the country it is dealing with, and if it's goals are attainable with that amount of power. Secondly, Morgenthau says that a nation must also take into respect the power of the other nation and the goal it is trying to reach. Basically, all he is saying is that a country must also take into interest the objectives and capabilities of the opposing nation. Thi .....

.... worse if Congress does not try to target the tobacco industry. Many teen smokers take up smoking as a daily habit. The number of teen smokers has increased to 73 percent between 1988 and 1996. This percentage was proposed on October 8, 1998. More than 1.2 million Americans under the age of eighteen started smoking daily in 1996, up from an estimated 708,000 in 1988. The rate teens become teen smokers has also increased up to fifty percent. In 1996, 77 out of every 1, 000 nonsmoking teens picked up the habit. In 1988, the rate was 51 per 1,000. The study was based on surveys of 78,330 Americans between the ages of 12 and 66 conducted by the CDC between 1994 an .....

.... was determined by the clash of opposing forces rooted in the economic system and the ownership of property. Just as the feudal system had given way to capitalism, so in time capitalism would give way to socialism. The class struggle of the future would be between the bourgeoisie, who were the capitalist employers, and the proletariat, who were the workers. The struggle would end, according to Marx, in the socialist revolution and the attainment of full communism (Groilers Encyclopedia). Socialism, of which Marxism-Leninism is a takeoff, originated in the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in the middle of the ninet .....

.... Bryan’s complaints were very ineffective and McKinley overpowered him even more than he had done in 1896. Unfortunately, a year later he met his death cause by an assassin’s bullet. Theodore Roosevelt, whom McKinley’s friend senator Marcus Hanna had once called a "wild man", was now the president of the United States. Roosevelt was soon to have a tremendous impact of the office of presidency. Theodore Roosevelt was born in 1858 and led his life with much influence until 1919. He was an energetic man.

.... results in great social discomfort to everyone involved. Initially, in the mid 1960’s, Affirmative Action programs were intended to protect minorities from racial and gender discrimination. Today, we need to demonstrate to ourselves that we have truly progressed towards a gender and color-blind society, since the inception of Affirmative Action. To materialize that goal, we must start adopting feasible alternatives that may allow us to value and select the most suitable individuals, among ourselves, based solely on the merit of our abilities and actions, and Not on our God-given skin-pigment and/or gender. Affirmative Action Programs have ingrained and e .....

.... a society where equal opportunity, or at least a fair opportunity, was a reality for more of our citizens. These programs were a response to economic, political and cultural circumstances that demanded, then encouraged, and then tolerated widespread discrimination on the basis of such factors as color, gender and ethnic background. The common hope was that these programs would be transitory in nature and would enable us as a society to reach a point, at some future date, when they would no longer be needed" (Shapiro). It is my opinion that we have now reached that date. Continued use of the policy is much like continued use of a strong medication. When a .....

.... or wrong, is whether or not society is going to treat people as groups or individuals. Affirmative action is a question of morals. The simplicity to form two morals that are both correct but conflicting is the reason for the division of our nation on affirmative action. Affirmative action is very noble when looking at who benefits from the outcome. Take a closer look at affirmative action. The people that are involved and the damage it takes on our society surfaces many doubts. Taking a closer look also stirs up a question of nobility that needs to be answered before making a decision on affirmative action. Does affirmative action simply change who is discrim .....
