- 841: Adult Entertainment and The City of New York
- ... is not clear by the second regulation by the city in legal terms set by the Supreme Court in the matter of a takings occurrence. Reasoning. Within the course of owning property and having certain rights in property ownership, the interests of the public good have been superior to the individual property owner. In a democratic society, it is accepted that the public good outweighs the interest of the individual. There ... for public good. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, the government within the states cannot take property without "just compensation". When the interests of the Department of City Planning are integrated into the simplicities of the property rights vested in the Constitution, the department has the power to set regulations on the public's behalf, but in exchange, must compensate the individual for his loss of control or total loss of the property ownership. Furthermore, as these matter has been litigated in the past, and standards have been set to determine specifics in whether a takings occurs in the aquistion of property or rights of that property by the government, the court's determining factors all favor just compensation for an individual harmed economically by regulation. Conclusion. It would be to the advantage of the client of NYAEE ...
- 842: Gun Control - A Firing Issue
- ... the majority of violent crimes that take place. They wish to instill many types of bans and waiting periods on firearms, making it nearly impossible to obtain a handgun. In fact, in 1993 the Brady Bill, which mandates a waiting period on buying firearms, was passed. Their arguments range from protecting children to saying that guns are diseases, but when one looks at the facts, though, the arguments of gun control ... support their claimā€¯ (Silver 78). The 2nd Amendment supports gun owners, and hard evidence that it does otherwise is nonexistent. Gun control advocates have been lobbying for 7 years for the passage of the Brady Bill, which makes a waiting period mandatory for all national firearm sales. Ironically, the passage of this bill in 1993 has done nothing to reduce crime; in fact violence has risen still since the passage of the bill. This bill, which was most definitely oversold by its supporters, has become the prime ...
- 843: Bilingual Education
- ... to speak English, but the concept was that this is America and we speak English here. There are basically five arguments coming from opponents of English only education. They say it ignores our countries civil rights tradition; it fails to promote the integration of minority citizens into the American mainstream; it neglects the need for American merchants to be able to communicate with foreign markets; it restricts the ability of the ... only legislation is racially motivated and instills hostility towards minority groups who use another language other then English. I’m firmly in favor of English only. First, Bilingual education does not ignore our countries civil rights tradition. It’s simply stating that if you want to be ignorant, live in poverty, collect welfare and detract from society, that’s fine but you will do it on our terms. To say America also has a civil rights tradition is also questionable. Is this not the country where slavery was permitted for 300 years, where women couldn’t vote, and where abortions are readily available. People’s civil rights are being infringed ...

- ... of this problem we can analyze the conditions under which they are incarcerated. States vary in the procedures on treatment of inmates. The topic to be debated on the basis of its effectiveness is the rights of prisoners concerning conjugal visits.

This justice view on criminal welfare calls for a reform in the current system. Dissatisfied citizens cry out to the legislature with plans of taking away many of the rights currently advocated in prisons. The current law in states that allow conjugal visits is most criminals except those on death row, those who have life in prison, or those who are sentenced for high risk ... make California a role model or precedent state for the rest of the country. The second view is the rehabilitative approach to handling prisoners.

- 845: Australia And Asia Relationshi
- ... especially true of China which has such a different socio-political system. This close relationship continues to raise political questions for Australia to grapple with, such as her relations with Taiwan, Tibet and Chinese human rights issues. In some instances Australias interests will be confined mainly to trade and investment; in the more substantial bilateral relationships, the Government will implement comprehensive strategies which attempt to integrate Australia's security, economic and ... and China do not share the same view. The Government consequently places a high priority on expanding its bilateral dialogue with China in areas such as defence and security issues, as well as on human rights and consular cases. Yet these relations don't come without their problems. On the issues of human rights Australia is in a position whereby they trade with countries that don't recognize the rights of individuals as we do.

- 846: Gun Control: Is It A Problem?
- ... laws the number of deaths would drop accordingly. Winthrop addressed such a dilemma almost 350 years ago in his "Speech to the General Court" in 1645.

According to Winthrop, people are naturally evil, and if left to their own devices, they will become even worse. Therefore, authority is a necessity. This same principle ... the "right to bare arms," but with that right comes responsibility. As an American with that right you're not free to shoot anyone or anything at will. Government should create laws to protect the rights of others. I believe stricter gun control laws and better education on the use of guns is necessary. People of the U.S. aren't as rigidly regulated by gun laws compared to our European ... have a complete background check, take a course, and pass it to show that you are capable of using such dangerous equipment, like a gun. Just as Winthrop struggled with the conflict between people's rights and the authorities impending on their rights, we today, have those same struggles.

The most important of these were the right to trial by jury and the right of habeas corpus. Often liberties such as these were suspended. Many of these rights can be measured under the old "Life, Liberty and Prosperity."
