...Johnson struggled with the basics of reading, grammar, or math until he met his wife at the early age of seventeen. Abraham Lincoln in the eyes of many people was America's greatest President, Andrew Johnson, his successor ranked as one of the worst. In the eyes of many people Andrew Johnson was one of the worst to have ever served as President at the end of the American Civil War. Johnsons gross incompetence in federal office and his incredible miscalculation of the extent of public support for his policies, Johnson is judged as a great failure in making a satisfying and just peace to the United States. Andrew Johnson was known to have been a rigid, dictatorial racist who was unable to compromise or even attempt to accept a political reality at odds with his own ideas. Instead of forging a compromise between Radical Republicans and moderates, his actions united the opposition against him. His bullheaded opposition to the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the Fourteenth Amendment eliminated all hope of using presidential...

...History Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was in office during the civil war and gained the likeness of most of the country. Lincoln was born in the backwoods of illinois. He grew up in poverty, but became a politician and came out of poverty. As president and commander-in-chief, he passed the 13th amendment and won the civil war. During his presidency, Lincoln was a successful leader because of his different traits that allowed him to be president and enjoyed by many Americans. This was demonstrated by his strategist, intelligent, good leadership and good decision maker personality. Mr. Lincoln was a great strategist, both in the office and fighting the war. Lincoln had the ability to learn on the job. Abraham was considered by many a great commander in chief and strategist because he thought long and hard about decisions, whether it be about the war or other decisions. Sometimes he even visited officers in the field(Smithsonian,1). The 16th president used a big...

...President Abraham Lincoln once said, “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters (Quotes About Voting).” This statement is not true when it comes to the United States’ presidential election, even though Americans perceive it to be. The United States of America has a president that gets elected every four years. Every American citizen that is at the age of 18 or older has the choice to vote for the president. There is a common saying that goes along the lines of, “Everyone’s vote counts.” Americans like to think that if they vote, then their vote will make a difference in the election. But in actuality, one vote...

...Should Medical Marijuana be legalized? Matthew Witkowski BCOM/275 10NOV2014 Lynda Sohl Should Medical Marijuana Be Legalized? The legalization of medical marijuana is a sensitive subject both politically and individually. There have been many field tests and trials validating marijuana as an aid to help various medical conditions from cancer to traumatic brain injuries. My argument has little to do with the political argument as I will be focusing mainly on the individual argument. The Pros and Cons of Legalization In an Oxford University journal report from 2013 states that the endocannabinoid system plays an important roles in the reparative mechanisms that are shared with minocycline pathways reduces the lesion volume and decreases TBI-induced hyperactivity. (Oxford University Press, 2013) . In another study led by Prof. Yosef Sarne from Tel Aviv University suggests that a single, low dose of THC was able to protect the brain from long-term damage induced by a variety of experimental toxins. (Truthonpot.com, 2013). The most recent study was reported by Jeffrey Carpenter of ABC News. He cites the research done at the Hebrew University that shows that a cannabinoid, similar to the active ingredient found in marijuana and produced in the brains of many animals, protects mice from brain injury. This reports quotes Dr Shohami as saying she didn’t “see any problems with using...

They have been hypnotised into wanting something, they didn’t even know existed, before they were coming to this place. When they are born as clones, they all wants to go to The Island, because this should be the dream place to be. Dr. Merrick is the man who rules everything in this isolated building.

...Pros in public schools are, the children learn in a group setting, there are extracurricular activities available, more curriculum opportunities, diverse social education, and the cons would be, Less independence, school chooses curriculum, high teacher student ratio. And the pros for homeschool are, teaches students to be more independent in their learning choices. And the cons are, usually more expensive than public school; teachers are not always qualified to teach certain subjects, harder to provide social interaction, colleges sometimes have stricter admission polices involving homeschooled children, You as the parent can control what they learn and when, You can show you child that learning is not boring but a fun thing, you have a smaller teaching area that u can tailor your teaching style to your child’s needs, you can give you child personal in depth attention in any subject he struggles in or excels, Create a schedule that best fits you and your child’s needs, instill you values and beliefs’ in your child and address question when they have them, protect your child from negative influences they may encounter, nurture you child’s (artistic, musical and mathematic) abilities Address big issues with your child when you feel they are ready.

...Paper #3 Hotel tax. Car Rental tax. Bar and restaurant tax. This is what Lincoln has increased to help fund the new Haymarket Arena. 350 million dollars is the bottom line amount when someone asks how much this new arena costs. That would include the cost to move railroad tracks, buy railroad property, build a new Amtrak station, build new roads, the arena itself, and three parking garages and two surface lots. I am going to look at the details of the new arena and the effects this new arena will have on the Lincoln community. Targeted to open for the 2013 Nebraska Basketball season, the new arena will be a much-needed addition for Lincoln. Currently the arena we have, Pershing Center, is really old and beat up. It’s time for change in the capital city. As for the Huskers, they have been playing in the Bob Devany Sports Center since 1976. That is quite some time to play in the same arena. There are no suites in the Bob either. In the new arena, there will be about 15,000 club seats, with 2,000 left for the students. When Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm talks about the arena he emphasizes branding. This is important to the University because it will be the new home for Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball teams. With recruiting being as huge as it is these days, the importance of a big ‘N’ on the outside of the arena was very important. On the inside the renderings also show a lot of dedication to the University. Whether it’s banners from the rafters...

...A quote from The Philosophies and Opinions of Marcus Garvey: Africa for the Africans states “The world ought to know that it could not keep 400,000,000 Negroes down forever."Even with all trials and tribulations African American ancestors went through one well-known phrase is “Forty Acres and a Mule”. The thought of repayment for the injustice of slavery has been around for many years. This thought of reparations is a controversy topic in existence in political discussions, school systems, and newspapers. The ideas of reparations for slavery have different perspective from a white and black point of views. According to: Reparations: Pro & Con which states “As table 1.1 shows, whites overwhelmingly oppose reparations payments, and a majority of blacks support them”( Brophy 4). People believe that the reparation for slavery was Forty Acres and a Mule, which was supposed to given to each former slave family. However, it was never given to any of them. Will it ever be given? Was this concept used to pacify the cries for justice? The Reconstruction era of slavery begin when the slaves were being abolition of slavery and the final ends of the Civil War. The blacks were in need of economics independence . The need for money forced the former slaves to work for the white landowners to make a living. William T. Shermanwas a West Point graduate. He soon volunteered his services for the American Civil War when it first arose. While the Civil War was going on, he later became...

...Throughout history slavery has been put in the spotlight. Whether it be positive or negative, slavery was at the forefront of an economy President Abraham Lincoln, in his second inaugural address said this, “One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the sourthern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war.” Was the civil war really about the freedom of slavery? Or was there an underlying reason for the Civil War? Before the Civil War began, we see the life of one young African American slave, Celia, a fourteen year old girl. Celia was bought by a man named Robert Newsom who had the mindset to make her his mistress, when he initially bought her. Throughout Celia’s life on the plantation, she was sexually abused, and gave birth to three children. George a slave himself, convinced Celia to confront Newsom about his abuse towards her. Since Celia was in love with George, she agreed. When Newsom came to her cabin intent on having sex with her, she resisted his advances, and has he counted to advance towards her, Celia began striking Newsom across the head until he was done. To help cover up her crime, she burned him in her fireplace, and had Newsom’s grandson to get rid of his ashes. When his daughter’s discovered he was missing they sent a search team to look for him, finally Newsoms neighbor figured out that Celia...

...the Republican party, realign their leadership, promote Christian morale like never seen before, and give the name "Republican" an aura of honor. This debate should be restricted to Reagan's direct accomplishments as a President, none of which should relate to his contributions to the Republican party or to his revolutionizing Conservatism. These traits make him a very favorable President to some, however they do not make him one of the greatest Presidents of all time. The Con should present a case supporting Ronald Reagan's status as one of the greatest Presidents of all-time, and the Pro should defend its stance that not only is Ronald Reagan 1)"overrated", but that he is also 2)Not one of the best Presidents of all time. This issue may be taken as relative, to prove Reagan's superiority to other Presidents, or as subjective, by evaluating Reagan's accomplishments in domestic and foreign policy in relation to his failures. The American public voted Reagan the 4th Best President in US History, behind Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington, and this should be used as the standard of this debate. I know that this opening argument is very vague, however I feel that it is much easier and convenient for the both of us to argue for and against a President when his positive attributes are first presented. Nevertheless, you still get the final word as the Contender giving you an advantage in...

...Ethical issues regarding the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports In the history of 20th century sports, specifically in the post World War 2 era, there has been an ever increasing use of performance enhancing drugs in all avenues of sport. Sports have become money making machine for both athletes and big business and the “win at all costs” attitude which has permeated itself into all aspects of professional and college level athletics. Winners make money, losers don’t. The temptation of fame, notoriety and million dollar contracts in all venues of sport is a lure for many athletes. Elite professional athletes are worshiped in today’s society. This paper will elaborate on the use of performance enhancing drugs in the sporting world and the associated sports ethical issues. It is a majority belief in all sporting circles that the “true” spirit of sportsmanship does not allow any aspect of performance enhancing drugs. There are several arguments both in favor and against the use of performance enhancing drugs which will be presented and discussed in this paper. While addressing this ethical issue, we need to define the term ethics. Ethics can be defined as the socially accepted norms and values. These norms and values are varied from society to society and are based on culture and tradition. Ethics also could be defined as the unsaid, un-written and understood laws that prevail in a society. Ethics also cover what is right and what is wrong in society and teaches...

...George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Julius Caesar, These individuals were considered by many to be three of the most successful leaders in history, who were loved by the people they led. But is it better to be loved, or feared? Other people throughout history have been successful on the other side of the spectrum; people who lead by fear. Leaders such as Genghis Khan, and Attila the Hun, were widely feared by the people they ruled. However, this did not get in the way of their success as leaders. In fact, that same fear may have benefitted them. There are many pros and cons to both ways of ruling. For example, you can be loved by your people and only do things that benefit everyone, but your actions will prevent you from advancing in any way. You cannot gain a new territory, or take control of a new resource without a cost to others-There is always an expense. Now let's say that you decide to use fear to your advantage and rule with an iron fist. It will without a doubt provide many short term wins in the beginning and make your people happy, but eventually you may have control of more land than you can manage. You may have also made more people and/or countries unite against you than you can handle. A major advantage of ruling through fear is that...

...Overall Case Summary Ted Katagi was recently put in charge of turning around the struggling Kansai Digital Phone Company. They are trying to compete in the Kansai market against three main competitors (DoCoMo, Cellular, Tu-Ka) and three PHS startups. Katagi and his team have developed several initiatives to try and turn themselves into a customer-centric organization. These incentives include: * Zutto - Operating without contracts. The customer pays up front and receives some benefit at the end of the commitment period in an attempt to elicit behavior (such as paying for another period) * Welcome Calls – Personal contact with each new customer in an attempt to keep customers from switching carriers. * Brand Strategy – Sign movie stars to produce a trendier image, and brand with a different name (J-Phone) that doesn’t make them sound like a regional operation. * Upgrade Mailing – Offer free upgrades for renewed service. * Expanded direct sales – An attempt to develop a bond with customers and increase loyalty. * Channel Incentives – Agents will be rewarded for enrolling higher value customers. * Subsidized calling plans – Cheaper plans targeting part of the population that does not have phones. Ted and his team have to decide which initiatives will provide the most benefit to Kansai and demonstrate the value those initiatives would provide. Case Questions 1. What is the value of a KDP customer in 1997? For this calculation you may want...
