.... opened more combat support jobs in an effort get more women to join the military. Virtually every job is open to women in the military; infantry, submarines, and artillery are the only ones that are still off limits (Congressional Quarterly Weekly, 1996, p. 368). The only focus of my paper is whether there is still a need to ban women from direct combat. First, let me explain the distinction between combat support units and direct combat units. The military changed its definition of direct combat for women. This opened up more jobs for women that had been off-limits (Congressional Quarterly Researcher, 1992, p. 844). The performance of women in these positi .....

.... who smoke marijuana feel no effects; others feel relaxed and sociable, tend to laugh a great deal, and have a profound loss of the sense of time. Characteristically, those under the influence of marijuana show incoordination and impaired ability to perform skilled acts. Still others experience a wide range of emotions including feelings of perception, fear, insanity, happiness, love and anger¡¨ (Annas 19). Although marijuana is not addicting, it may be habituating. The individual may become psychologically rather than physically dependent on the drug. Those who urge the legalization of marijuana maintain the drug are entirely safe. The available data sugges .....

.... The Federalist party was the first political party to hold a congressional caucus. In creating the Electoral college, the constitutional convention explicitly rejected a proposal to have Congress elect the President. The Electoral College is still the center of the system, but all the related institutions and processes have changed dramatically. This is because the Constitution is so vague. It contains no provisions for organizing political parties, nominating candidates or campaigning for office. The Framers, assumed, incorrectly of course, that the selection process would be a reasonable one that would transcend partisanship. The original provis .....

.... Act of 1935. Shortly after the 74th Congress convened in January of 1935, FDR sent his "Economic Security Bill" to Capitol Hill in Washington. Shortly there after, the Bill was submitted to the Senate by Congress on January 17, 1935. The House Ways and Means Committee held hearings on the Bill from January 21 to February 12, 1935. During a Ways & Means meeting on March 1, 1935 Congressman Frank Buck (D-CA) made a motion to change the name of the bill to the "Social Security Act of 1935." The motion was carried by a voice vote of the Committee. On August 14, 1935 President Roosevelt signed the bill into law at a ceremony in the White House Cabinet Room. From .....

.... southern share croppers was their lack of education. There were several reasons the share croppers didn’t get the education they needed. One main reason was because many children didn’t go to school. Harold Walker writes that Southern cotton states ranked lower in rate of attendance for each student enrolled than any of the other states in the nation (4). A factor that contributed to this was their excessive mobility, which inhibited many children from going to school (Corder 27). It is common knowledge that any child who constantly moves around will not be able to attend school on a regular basis, and even if they go to a school when they get a chance they w .....

.... less influential but still passionate religious and government authorities. Their new techniques are market-censorship (dominating the marketplace), constituitive censorship (the control of language), power-knowledge (restricting knowledge), as well as the traditional regulative censorship (law). These new forces can be as equally effective as the forces of remote history. We notice the effect of post-enlightenment civilization as early as the nineteenth-century in the great Russian humanist Aleksandr Herzin. Herzin left his native country in protest of Czarist censorship only to feel "profound disillusionment with the extremely narrow limits of permission i .....

.... for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. This sets out broad and definitive rules governing the recognition of liabilities and income and expenditure in financial statements. Specifically the following paragraphs need to be considered: Recognition of liabilities: 91. A liability is recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement will take place can be measured reliably... Recognition of expenses: 94. Expenses are recognised in .....

.... concerns, the government feels as though social welfare is the least of their worries (Evans and Wekerle, 1997: pgs. 45-57). The Canadian welfare state began to decline during the reign of the Mulroney government during the early 90's; with economic crises arising on a daily basis, the government decided to cut social spending and instead focus their energies and resources on combatting recession, labour market restructuring, and the deficit. The transformation and "reform" of the welfare state has huge implications on the lives of many women, and not only those who are dependent on welfare for their livelihood. Welfare, especially women's welfare, encompasses .....
