- 23831: The Right of Autonomy
- ... is a group of people who have supreme authority within a given territory or over a certain population, according to Wolf. and the right to be obeyed which is different from power. Power in Wolff's terms, is the “ability to compel compliance.” Moral autonomy is “a submission to laws which one has made for oneself.” Wolf believes that there is a problem between authority and autonomy. Autonomy overrides the importance ... not from the divine right of the monarch, nor from the hereditary authority of a noble class, but from the fact that he himself is the source of the laws which govern him.” Wolf doesn't think that it fully solves the problem between authority and autonomy. A unanimous direct democracy is the closest to resolving the conflict, yet in only exists in theory. Representative democracy seems to solve the problems ... not will. Here Wolf again shows democracy fails to solve the problem between authority and autonomy. In conclusion, Wolf believes that there is a problem with the concept of political authority. It conflicts with man's obligation to autonomy. If a man fulfills his obligation to autonomy, then he will reject the authority of the state, resulting in philosophical anarchy. Democracy seemed to be a solution to this problem, but ...
- 23832: The Prospect Of Cold Fusion
- ... such as electricity or even acoustic energy, is required to provoke the "cold fusion" effects. Both ordinary hydrogen and deuterium are abundant in ordinary water so the process would likely end many of the world's energy concerns, if it can be developed commercially. One of the biggest reasons that cold fusion is so difficult to replicate is that it is not easy to supersaturate a metal with hydrogen or deuterium ... confirmed that under the proper conditions it is possible to obtain to many thousands of times the input power. In fact, in experiments reported at the Fourth International Conference on Cold fusion, one researcher, D. T. Mzuno of Hokkaido University, reported an output/input ratio of 70,000! Sometimes this power comes out in bursts, but it has also appeared continuously in some experiments for hundreds of hours, and in some ... research is not "Big Science." It does not need massive installations; just relatively small-scale work at national laboratories, universities, and in private industries, which are already beginning to enter the field in the U.S. Cold fusion does, however, require the talents of top scientists and engineers, combined with sophisticated analytical instrumentation. Federal laboratories, in search of a new mission, are well equipped to support cold fusion research. Cold ...
- 23833: The Media and the Fear of Victimization
- The Media and the Fear of Victimization Tonight's presenter spoke on the images of crime that are presented on television and the media and how they affect the public perception on being victimized. She gave examples of how the media has the tendency ... Though the crime they are reporting is a portion of the normal crime that goes on everyday and almost unnoticed for the most part but because of the attention it is getting and the media's tendency to sensationalize events Americans all of a sudden feel threatened by juvenile crime and demand that something be done. Americans in other words are getting a false representation of the real situation. Politicians who ... This predisposes white women to the fear that they will be victimized by a black person, thus creating a bias towards blacks. In regards to the candidate as a professor I feel that she didn't involve the students enough. As a result of this I found her presentation boring despite having an interesting topic. She failed to properly deliver her presentation. She read from her notes entirely too much. ...
- 23834: The American Dream 3
- ... another. All our citizens must be viewed and treated as equals under the law because they are already considered equal before God. Our nation was created as an indivisible entity under God. If we don t learn to live together in harmony and as equals, our nation will be divided. The cement that will hold our society together is the peace of mind that the government will give in the form ... importantly, healthcare. Another hot issue on Capitol Hill is the funding of social security. It is my belief that social security should not be tampered with at all, because the monies paid in by America s hard-working people should rightfully come back to them at a stage in their life when it is most needed. If all the people of this country, young and old alike, cannot have the confidence in their lives to be supplemented if needed to obtain life s necessities, then we have created a flawed society. America is in the best financial condition it has ever been in. All its citizens should share in this prosperity. A non-socialistic coherent system of ...
- 23835: The Canadian Senate
- ... nothing. The Canadian Government could work fine without the Senate. Just get rid of it, and have the governor look at the bills closely before he signs them. Just in case the governing party try's to pass a bad bill. Or it could be changed, have less senators that aren't paid as much. Or change to an American Triple E type of senate. Which stands for elected, effective, and equal. The Senator should be elected by the provinces and have a limited time in the ... Senate much more effective and fare. If the Senate continues as it is right know people will get more and more frustrated with it. And soon they wont want it at all. Which probably wouldn't be much of a problem anyway. I believe that we should keep the Senate, and just reform it to be more effective.
- 23836: Digestive Systems of Humans, Earthworms, and Grasshoppers
- ... area in the small intestine. The lacteal, also located in the small intestine, help with the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol. Other organs and processes take place to help the small intestine complete it’s part in the digestion process The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder, and then passes through the bile duct and into the duodenum. The bile then goes through emulsification and breaks ... and typhlosoles. But, the small and large intestine of the human are large enough to do the same work as the typhlosoles in the grasshopper. The human also contains many organs that the grasshopper doesn’t. Also, the human can undergo reverse peristalsis, which the grasshopper cannot. The systems of the earthworm and the human have few like characteristics that the grasshopper doesn’t have also. The earth worm and the human both have a pharynx, although in the human it covers the larynx and in the earthworm it provides a sucking action to help bring in food. ...
- 23837: Capital Punishment: For
- ... innocents to live” (Haag, 67). Other opponents argue that there is the chance of executing an innocent prisoner. Hugo Adam Bedu and Michael L. Radelet collected evidence of every capital punishment case after the 1930's. They concluded that 23 innocent people, out of several thousand cases in the twentieth century, were convicted and executed, but all of these mistakes were made because there was a “forced confession, suppression of evidence ... means not one of these persons was actually innocent they just had bad lawyers, or no lawyers when they had their trial. The last time a truly innocent person was executed was before the 1930's. The biggest argument for capital punishment is retribution. The victims family often feels relieved when the prisoner has been executed. “Retribution satisfies the demand for justice. It channels public outrage into the acceptable form of ... punishment are in the minority today in the United States. “By 1989 more than 80 percent of Americans favored the death penalty (Samaha, 437).” So with support for capital punishment on the rise, why doesn't the government do what we the people want and endorse capital punishment in every state. So what is the rest of the country waiting for? I have given many good reasons for the death ...
- 23838: Gender And Communication
- ... Most men will take every opportunity to show their masculinity and to declare to the world that they are indeed a “real” man. This fact is evident when men gather in a bar. The beer’s going down, testosterone is pumping through the veins, and the motto is, “I ain’t takin’ nothin’ from nobody.” Most males are looking for a brawl and are looking to solidify their masculine place in the world. Inevitably a fight ensues, people get hurt, and the goal is accomplished. Well ... control human beings. Their sole purpose is to dictate how we should act in society, yet they lend themselves not to allow people to be what they want. I believe the concept of being one’s true self to be the most liberating. For when one is being who they truly are, the societal concepts of masculinity and femininity are of no importance.
- 23839: The Drinking Age Should Be Lowered to Eighteen
- The Drinking Age Should Be Lowered to Eighteen Why is it that eighteen-year-olds can legally obtain a driver's license, register to vote, be forced into jury duty or a draft, can be tried as an adult and even put to death, but cannot buy and consume alcoholic beverages legally? I think these laws ... perhaps the number of alcohol-related incidents would decrease. Schools could also aid in the awareness of alcohol and its’ effects. They could make alcohol awareness classes mandatory for young adults. This may make today’s young adults more aware of the seriousness of alcohol. In many countries, drinking alcohol is part of everyday life for an eighteen-year-old. As they grow up, they are taught by their parents to ... be a nineteen-year-old college student. I consider myself to be a mature nineteen-year-old, and I feel that I could drink responsibly, if I were permitted to do so legally. I don’t understand why we are considered to be legal adults, and are expected to play the role accordingly, if we lack the ability to legally have a drink with friends. I feel that it is ...
- 23840: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
- ... maybe to the government? What if the police and government are the parties threatening your rights? All you have to do is just call the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). Sounds like a commercial doesn't it. The ACLU blankets the United States with its legal protection. It is involved in so many aspects of the fight for civil liberties that it is difficult to cover it all. To fully understand ... the Bill of Rights. Officially established in 1920, the ACLU now claims over 270,000 members. With offices in most of the states and the District of Columbia the ACLU justifiably calls itself " the nation's largest law firm."(Walker 4) The ACLU, despite its noble goal, has a terrible public image. The reason for such hatred or support is the fact that civil liberty cases generally involve moral and personal ... may not like the liberal policies of the ACLU and its members, but I have to respect the principles and ideals it was founded on and still expound today. Bibliography "American Civil Liberties Union." Webster's New Lexicon Dictionary. 1989 Walker, Samuel. In Defense of American Liberties: A History of the ACLU. New York: Oxford UP, 1990.
