...Roosevelt and Kennedy’s speeches Both Roosevelt’s “four freedoms” speech and Kennedy’s Inaugural address talk about maintaining peace and defending our freedom however, Roosevelt’s speech talked about freedom all over the world and the need to defend it. Whereas Kennedy’s speech talks more about peace, especially between Russia and the U.S. at the time, and how to maintain it through negotiation. SECTION HEADER Roosevelt’s speech the “four freedoms” was during the time that WW2 was happening and most of the people of the U.S. wanted us to be and stay isolated and out of the war, but roosevelt felt that he needed to do something, and so he did. “We are although committed to all-inclusive national defense and we are also committed to full support...

...Responding to an anonymous tip of a local gun rally without a permit may be tricky for a police officer. Responsibilities of a police officer are varied, and may differ greatly from within one political context to another. Typical duties relate to keeping the peace, law enforcement, protection of people and property, and the investigation of crimes. Officers are expected to respond to a variety of situations that may arise while they are on duty such as an unlawful assembly. Freedom of speech is one of our most dearly held rights and a building block of any democracy. But there are laws that govern the assembly of people for the purpose of holding a protest rally. A peaceful demonstration or assembly can be a productive way to express what we feel is wrong with our government. While such a protest is considered a part of our first amendment rights, most cities do require a permit in an effort to help avoid traffic and crowd problems. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees individuals the right of freedom of assembly. Under the Common Law and modern statutes, however, the meeting of three or more persons may constitute an unlawful assembly if the persons have an illegal purpose or if their meeting will breach the public peace of the community. If they actually execute their purpose, they have committed the criminal offense of riot. Even as a police officer you strongly support Article 2 of the Constitution. Which includes "the right of the people to bear arms." The...

...massive super states, Eastasia, Eurasia, and Oceania, all in a continual state of war and changing alliances. Throughout the novel, the Party, which is the main governing power of Oceania, is constantly falsifying documents and rewriting history to fit past predictions and political promises of the government. These lies and double standards are illustrated by the Party’s three slogans: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. The doublethink of War is Peace is exemplified in these words, "The very word 'war', therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous, war has ceased to exist...War is Peace" (Orwell 164). In the novel Oceania is in a perpetual state of war with ether Eurasia or Eastasia. Whenever a new alliance is made or a new enemy obtained, the Party revises past publications to make it seem that they have always been at war with the same foe. These contradictions go unnoticed by the vast majority of the population, and those who do take note are easily swept up in the frenzy of war. The Party slogan, Freedom is Slavery; even in itself contains two opposing viewpoints that conflict with each other. This process of doublethink is basically the “power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them” (Orwell 155). The Party enslaves the people of Oceania, not literally, but in every action they perform from their morning “jerks” to walking down the street...

...that this was an act to shift the power from U.S to the Soviet Union. After he was completely sure about the situation JFK addressed the public on this issue on October 22, 1962. He explained his decision to perform a naval blockade near the coast of Cuba, he also said that the US was ready to use military force if there is a threat to national security. The Cold War was one of the most important wars and would have been one of the most deadly wars of the 20th century. The Cold War is the closest that the world has come to a nuclear war. One of the main events of this war was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The 2 most powerful countries at the time were fighting against each other for supreme control over the world. This led to both countries keeping close eyes on each other. So, when the US placed their missiles in Turkey, a country which borders the USSR. These missiles were aimed at the USSR, and the USSR obviously didn't want US to have an advantage so they placed their...

...the states and people. This is what we see in the government today and it is also what we know. The Declaration of Independence was also a great aspect in the United States. It also had grievances; these grievances would be helped by the Constitution. In the Declaration of Independence there was a problem with taxes, “For imposing taxes on us without our consent.” This was very troubling to the colonists. So the Constitution stopped this, “congress has the power to collect taxes.” Since the Declaration says “for cutting off trade with all parts of the world.” “Congress has the power to regulate trade.” Also military “congress has the power to declare war…rise and support armies.” As well as Amendment three “no soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered into any house, without the consent of the owner, or in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” There are weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation that the Constitution addressed. In this way the Constitution became Supreme law, levy taxes, regulate trade with states and countries made federal court system, Executive branch of power of checks as well as balanced of Legislature and Judiciary, ratified Amendments if 2/3 of congress 3/4house to pass, and representation of house by population, senates is equal to all states.

...The importance of remembering those who serve(d) our country On november 11th of every year Canada as a whole dedicates that one day to remember those who served and have fallen in combat in the name of Canada. It is especially important to remember those who served in the first world war, the second world war and the Korean war. If they had not been there or succeeded the world would have looked very different politically and socially. It is also important to remember the peace keeping missions Canadian troops have carried out for not our own freedom but someone else's freedom such as the missions into Bosnia and Croatia. Those missions helped establish peace in the world rather than escalating into a bigger war. The people whom we remember gave their time and usually life for freedom so that there could be a better tomorrow for not only Canadians but the world. Remembrance day is a time where we reflect about the courage it took for the veterans to do what they did. When I hear their stories I am always touched. * * * My absence at the veterans day congregation that took part at school is not me showing contempt or disrespect towards people who lost their lives and fought in world war 2. One of my great grandfathers served and died in world war 2, my other great grand father spent time in a german Prisoner of War camp and my grandparents on one side were tortured by the japanese troop. All my grand parents were affected by World War two. I took...

...Hi The articles "Freedom of Speech: Missouri Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. Kansas City" and "Freedom of Religion: Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association" both engage in conflicts pertaining to the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. "Freedom of Speech: Missouri Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. Kansas City" is an article about the KKK's attempt to spread their beliefs through a public access cable television channel. Dennis Mahon and Allan Moran, both of the KKK, asked to be broadcasted on air in 1987, and the whole situation led to a major problem. The KKK is known for its killings, prejudice, and cross burnings, and they wanted to be shown on television to further spread their message. The First Amendment states the right to the freedom of speech, but many of the community members had a problem with the whole situation. People with race relations, local leaders, and members of the cable company did not want to grant the KKK the right to appear on air. Black ministers and important politicians were not happy with the KKK's request to voice their opinions. The KKK complied with all of the rules that were presented by the cable company, even when they were told to create a locally produced show and receive training in video production. They happily obeyed the regulations and didn't cause additional problems to what they were soon to face. The cable company studio was located in a neighborhood that was 95% black, and violence was a major concern for the cable...

...LAW/421 October 27, 2014 Richard Simon Role and Functions of Law Without law there would be no order in our everyday lives. The law is intended to create order where there would otherwise be chaos, to set boundaries to keep this order and to protect people against wrong doing. The law is a guide to what is and is not acceptable behavior both in society and in business practices. The law allows people to embrace freedom and justice and live within a fair society. Business law deals with the creation of new businesses and the issues that arise within current businesses (Business Law). The law allows government rule that is intended to allow society and businesses to operate effectively and efficiently. According to Melvin law is “a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority, and having legal binding force” (Melvin, 2011). The law aids individuals, businesses and the government in normal everyday operations and in more perilous times. The law is meant to be enforced and reinforced when they are not followed. The law affects the way that businesses are formed and structured. Once business is up and running the law continues to regulate business practices to ensure that rules are being followed and everyone is treated fairly from the employees to the consumers to the suppliers and so forth. According to the law there are certain standards of practice that must be adhered to in business. The law not only helps structure...

...One effect of working with Great Britain is that we could eventually lose the very freedoms in which we are trying to preserve. This is not an option. In working with great britain we must defend our values and beliefs while still avoiding war with the british. With the right deals and compromise it is completely plausible for the colonies to gain the freedom that we wish while avoiding war altogether. This more passive-aggressive approach is much more safe then the potentially fatal aggressive approach that Governor Henry has proposed. This approach could save country from destruction while still keeping the freedom that we insist to...

...Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge, Now, therefore, The General Assembly, Proclaims this Universal Declaration...

He participated in various protest followed in the footsteps of this father and grandfather by becoming the co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. His belief in using an approach based on non- violence and peaceful protests was something that impacted many around him, and despite his being treated like an outcast, being arrested, having his house bombed and ultimately being assassinated, he worked to make the world a better place and to change the minds of society about persons of other races and ethnicities and cultures and his sole goal in life was to create peace and harmony within the bounds of unity. Martin Luther King attended Morehouse College in Atlanta in a program for gifted students and received his Bachelors of Science for Sociology in 1948. As an undergraduate he wanted to study fields such as law or medicine but in turn decided by his senior year that he would enter the world of ministry and continue his family’s level of the church. He then went on to Crozer Theological Seminary to receive his bachelor of divinity and from there to Boston University receiving his PhD. He chose to focus his attention to the relationship between both man and God and came to the conclusion that one must truly place their faith in God’s guidance (Micropeadia 6/870).

...life.” To summarize what Adams is saying, the government should allow us to enjoy our natural rights and freedoms while protecting us and keeping us safe using order and laws. Some may say that the government’s sole purpose is to our happiness and life while others think that the purpose of government is to keep strict order and to control its citizens. Adams is simply saying that it's a little bit of both. Thomas Jefferson actually said something similar in the First Inaugural Address said ,”A wise and frugal government . . . shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has...

... The United Kingdoms constitution organises and regulates the power of the state. The difference between the UK and other states constitutions e.g. USA is that the constitution of the UK is not written, but has been passed over generations by the power of ‘word of mouth.’ This is due largely to the fact that the UK has never felt the need to begin a new ‘set of established’ rules largely due to its stability, it can be said that Britain has an ‘uncodified constitution.’ [1] Within the UK constitution, the Prime Minister acts as the executive, so therefore the leader has the power to enact law upon the state. The right to protest is seen as one of the fundamental human rights in the form of a manifestation of a the rights of freedom of speech, association and assembly. It has a statutory basis in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the "Convention"), which has been incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998. Our opinion of the UK’s police has been one which has been described with bravery and largely courageous attitude The image of protectors springs to mind, they are responsible for upholding the law and deterring away criminals, they also have the right to defend themselves and others in civilised manner and sometimes apparent force becomes necessary. In the instance of large members of the public being in one place at a time the necessity to maintain order becomes pivotal. The challenge for police in these situations such as...

...Jacob Staples Miller English 1010-37 28 September 2015 Divided Within Ourselves Within every great nation lies that of a great leader, and behind every great leader lies that of a sophisticated council of intelligent individuals guiding their decisions through logic and reason; But what happens when the council is divided and the leader has no clear goal in mind? In a country based on democracy, we are challenged with the task of thinking for ourselves and nominating the most qualified individuals to that of leadership roles in which they make crucial decisions on our behalf for our benefit. But how does a country that’s divided within itself make the right choice? As competent Americans, we must use what resources we have at our disposal to point out the motives of those who long for our support in order to lead our great nation into prosperity. The Nation magazine and National Review magazine present us with such a debate to consider. Should we, or should we not pull our military forces out of the Middle East? “Stay” poses a very liberating debate on why our troops should stay in Iraq. With talk about military success, the National Review uses large amounts of logos when referring to the onslaught of Iraqi resistance and how we are making significant progress and pulling troops out of the country would destroy any hope of success. They fail to personalize the reader with any real emotional ties beyond simply comparing our military force to theirs and stating that if we...
