- 542: The Meaning of Abortion
- ... s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The right to choose to have an abortion is so personal and essential to women's lives that without this right women cannot exercise other fundamental rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution (Paltrow 72). The state can't interfere in the private lives of a citizen. Without the right to choose an abortion the 14th Amendment's guarantee of liberty has little meaning for women.

In exchange, the sovereign was to safeguard their lives by use of his sovereign power. Hobbes defines this absolute sovereign, as a ruler totally ... society started. Assuming first that everyone is in a state of nature. Then by the definition of what the state of nature is, it is impossible for anyone to trust someone with his or her rights and powers and have a sovereign govern over them. Hobbes tries to explain this by saying that if everyone gave up their rights, then they would all still be on an equal level and society would be born and working. This is not very realistic. In the state of nature, everyone is absolutely, terrified and has been ...

- ... everything I've been doing on my computer? This is a true story that occurs on the campuses of many colleges and universities around the country.

The major question, which is brought to attention, is that do educational institutions have the right to monitor what goes on in the school's network or is it an invasion of privacy ... after showing the students a warrant. These illegal monitoring of student activity between computers could be seen as the same thing as eavesdropping on telephone conversations, which is illegal.

- 548: Eisenhower 2
- ... Solarium to under take a comprehensive reappraisal of national security policy. Project Solarium became under the supervision of the National Security Council, an organization on which Eisenhower relied heavily to formulate Cold War policy. Civil Rights "No one is more anxious than I am to see Negroes receive first-class citizenship in this country," claimed President Eisenhower to a group of leaders in May of 1958, "but you must be patient." This statement of let someone else change things seemed to be Eisenhower's view towards civil rights throughout his presidency. Despite his endorsement of "first-class citizenship," Eisenhower was unwilling to use his powers as president to end discriminatory practices except in those few instances in which the federal government had clear ... who wanted to topple the system of segregation, extremists. For the first time since Reconstruction, the president ordered federal troops into the South to maintain public order and secured legislation from Congress to protect voting rights.

- ... America down. The government kicked them off the high horse to the ground, and as a Black Nation we jumped back on the saddle and rode on to victory.

Nonviolence was the main focus that propelled King s basic philosophy on blacks gaining equal rights. King developed his philosophy of nonviolence for specific reasons. It is a natural response for human beings to defend themselves if they are physically attacked. So did he develop a philosophy that would appease White America?

In the struggle to gain equality if ...
