Privilege And Justice
<view this essay>.... allows a more stable existence. Two examples of privilege that are not material, but are equally as important, are justice and piece of mind. Unfortunately, these two privileges are likely to be less attainable to the lower class.

How The Canadian Economy Is De
<view this essay>.... Free trade agreement came into effect in 1989 even though three fourths of trade between Canada and the United States was already free. This agreement to Canada is huge because it set up a free trade zone between the U.S and Canada, which is the largest free trade zone in the world.

Tobacco
<view this essay>.... U.S. efforts have been a huge
disappointment. Some 30% of high school seniors smoked through the 80's
and now there is an alarming increase.
Clinton's program doesn't include a stiff tax increase and experts say

Provincial Governments slashed cigarette taxes in early 1994 to combat a
flood of cheap smokes smuggled in from the U.S. A pack of 25 now sells for
around $2.50 in Ontario, down almost 44% from 1993. Now, a University of
Toronto survey found a third of Junior High School are puffing more.

Affirmative Action In Seattle
<view this essay>.... candidates. This view
fundamentally misrepresents the reality of affirmative action in the City of
Seattle. The City's affirmative action program does not establish numerical
quotas for hiring decisions, nor does it result in the hiring of unqualified
candidates on the basis of gender or race.
What the City of Seattle's affirmative action program does is very
simple: first, it gives City managers and personnel officers a snapshot of the
labor market, so that they are aware of the availability rates for different
groups for a given job classification. Through these availability rates, the
City can determine whether or not women, people of color, or p .....

Military Governments
<view this essay>.... altered as technology progressed and the nobility and kings no longer
controlled weapons nor could prevent the disintegration of the feudal society.
Modern military governments usually occur after the military stages a

Power and Choice, Shively questions the notion .....

<view this essay>.... their ideologies by blowing up airplanes, buses, government buildings, or taking hostages. By defining terrorism thoroughly, we can begin to look at what terrorism is really about. The use of terror is usually a tool to promote ideologies according to the dictionary but what about the use of terror for revenge? After the Serb withdrawal from Kosovo this past month, there was a rash of terrorist acts committed by Albanians against Serbs. The Serb civilian population of Kosovo was not a threat to the Albanians but the violence against them was not one of coercion but of revenge. The hostage crisis at the American embassy in Teheran twenty years ago was anot .....
