...Imagine not being able to own a Saint Bernard, a Great Dane, a German Sheppard or even an American Bulldog. Not because your mom or dad said no, but because they were banned. One day this thought may very well become a reality, all due to the breed specific legislation. Breed specific legislation is an act in which a certain breed of dog is banned from being reproduced or even owned in certain areas. This legislation mostly focuses on breeds traditionally known as "dangerous," or those that have demonstrated particular propensities for aggression and violent behavior (www.animallaw.info/articles). Though, there are many for this banning of certain breeds, but many are also against the idea; including President Obama. Along with Obama I too am against this act for many of reasons; it will not prevent dog attacks all together. By implementing the breed specific legislation, it is not going to change anything because the dog itself is not just the problem; the owners are a big part of it as well. First off, dogs are a product of what their owners make them. There are 78.2 million dogs owned in the United States alone and out that only 4.8 million have attacked; that is 12% of the population of dogs (www.humanesociety.org). Moreover, out of the 4.8 million dogs that have attacked most of them were raised and trained to attack by their owners. In the United States alone, dogfighting has been a big issue within urban areas. Dogs are put in a small closed off area to fight one another...

...(Bozzo, 2015) stated that” based on the fact that jamaica Economy is in such shamble, the implementation of the Logistic hub would be the best thing as it would boots the economy”. Another journalist (Lean, 2010) said it would be very good as it would breed young entrepenuers, create jobs in other sections such as food and Beverage, transport, tourism and other sectors.

...Edexcel AS Politics Edexcel AS Politics ExamBuster 2009 Introduction to Unit 1- People and Politics Understanding the Examination and Exam Technique Choosing your questions In this unit you are presented with four questions. They are of equal value and each question covers one of the four sections of the specification. These are: Democracy and political participation Party policies and ideas Elections Pressure groups There is no significance to the order in which questions appear. Each question is divided into three sections (a), (b) and (c). When choosing which questions to do, the following principles are recommended: It is almost certain that you will be better off choosing your strongest question to do first. You should choose questions on the basis of how well you can answer the section (c) part. The (c) part carries 25 of the 40 marks available for the whole answer. Do not choose a question simply because you can do part (a) especially well. The (a) question is only worth 5 marks. It would be illogical to choose your strongest (a) part if you cannot do well on section (c). If you cannot decide between several (c) parts, i.e. you can do more than one equally well, make your choice on the basis of part (b) which carries 10 marks. But remember, it is the (c) parts that will determine most what your overall mark will be. So, when you first look at the exam paper, look at the (c) sections first. Assessment Objectives Each question is divided into three sections,...
