...Name Instructor Course Date Civics - Final Project Summary An Amendment calling for mandatory military service after high school graduation should be passed to help all students be successful upon graduation. Military services should be allowed to recruit in high schools which would give high risk students an opportunity to be successful. Besides, it offers students who will not attend college a way to gain skills as well as provide an opportunity for low-income students a way to pay for college. If the government does not allow military services to help educate students about their options after graduation, it will be doing an injustice to the future generations leaving a child left behind. Make a difference in the future and someone’s life and allow the military services to recruit in high schools. There are many benefits that people take for granted daily that many would do not worry about in the military. Health care is not a topic many 18-year-olds think about because the majority are still covered by their parents to the age of 21 and sometimes further than that with the right plan (Simon and Lovrich 372). Enrolling in the military service is a feasible option to earn money, gain technical skills and training as well as leadership skill that will assist one for the rest of his or her life. One of the difficulties in getting a job fresh out of college is lack of experience consistent with the working knowledge in their field. After the compulsory military service...

By 1910, Lars Magnus Ericsson installed a mobile phone in his car, this was not a radio telephone. 1926 first class passenger trains in Europe first used radio telephones.

...Civics Lab puts elementary and middle school students in virtual control of decision-making in their communities to encourage civic participation, critical thinking, and sense of place. In Civics Lab, players will assume positions of power in the community from an urban, suburban or rural perspective and explore how decisions-based on social need and demand, proper planning (as defined by our civic experts), political pressure, and most importantly, their imaginations-might impact the community. Through manipulation of real mapping information and current data sets, students navigate social and political pressures to explore the cause and effect of civic investment and public policy as they attempt to create a sustainable future for their region. The Proposed Civic Innovation Lab is a path-breaking model that will provide a common ground for Civil Conversation among citizens and decision makers and a highly flexible, interactive, and technology-rich space that will bring people together to seek innovative approaches to our challenges.
