...Hair Removal Many people go for hair removal on different parts of their bodies. But there are different ways to remove hair such as waxing, treading, or laser hair removal. All the ways have both negative and positive outcomes. Waxing is one type of hair removal. It was developed by the Egyptians for smooth and hairless skin. They used sticky emulsions made of oils and honey. This is in modern day times called “sugaring” ("Get Waxing"). This procedure is done by putting wax onto the hairy area and taking a piece of cloth and putting it on top of the wax. The profession then presses down getting all the wax on the cloth and rips it off the skin pulling all the hair out with it. Waxing is positive in many ways. For example, it is done quickly and easily. The wax can be spread out all over and remove large areas of hair. Also, this can either be done at home or at the nearest salon. After waxing for a long period of time it can actually make the hair stop growing. Another positive thing is the hair doesn’t grow in until after two to three weeks depending on how fast the person’s hair grows (Torres). There are alson negative effects on waxing. It can cause redness and irritation of the skin, red bumps, and ingrown hairs. It can also cause skin infections (Bhatia). Also, it causes the skin to lose elasticity. This occurs when the skin is ripped when the wax is applied. The loss of elasticity of the skin can lead to a risk of wrinkles over time. ("hairremoval") ...

...kim Jones January 19, 2014 Government II Immigration This paper is about immigration and the D.R.E.A.M Act. This paper will cover the DREAM Act and the pros and cons of immigration. The DREAM Act is simply the development, relief, and education for alien minors and is sponsored by the Democratic Representative Howard L. Berman of California. There are a few provisions within the Act, such as, “The requirement of an alien to apply for cancellation of removal and conditional permanent resident status within one year after earning high school diploma or general education development certificate in the United States or after the effective date of related final regulations” (U.S. House 2011). Another provision being, if required, an immigrant applying for conditional permanent resident status to register under the Military Selective Service Act and undergo a medical examination (U.S. House 2011). According to Harrison, “Each year millions of immigrants enter the United States, some legally and others illegally, to take advantage of the quality of life in the United States.” (Harrison 2011,517). A negative impact that immigration has on the United States is overcrowding. Excessive use of our resources in the United States by immigrants limits the amount of resources available for US citizens. Another negative impact is the spread of diseases from other countries by immigrants entering the U.S. (Oak, 2011). On the contrary, a positive impact of immigration would be the...

...drinking alcohol in public places, with alcohol consumption in the home being mostly unregulated. Some countries also have different age limits for different types of alcoholic drinks. PRO Lowering Drinking Age 18 is the age of adulthood in the United States, and adults should have the right to make their own decisions about alcohol consumption. Turning 18 entails receiving the rights and responsibilities of adulthood to vote, smoke cigarettes, serve on juries, get married, sign contracts, be prosecuted as adults, and join the military - which includes risking one's life. [5] [6] CON Lowering Drinking Age The right to drink should have a higher age of initiation because of the dangers posed by drinking. Many rights in the United States are conferred on citizens at age 21 or older. A person cannot legally purchase a handgun, gamble in a casino (in most states), or adopt a child until age 21, rent a car (for most companies) at age 25, or run for President until age 35.

...Obama Care Obama Care Obama Care is thought by most people to be a US law aimed at reforming the American health care system. The main focus for this care is to provide more Americans with access to reasonable health insurance, improving the value of health insurance, regulating the health insurance industry, and decreasing health care spending in the US (Government, 2012). Many people have mixed feelings about Obama Care and how it is used in the US. In this paper, I will discuss the origins and the history of how Obama Care got started and its difficulties. Then, I am going to talk about the pros and cons dealing with Obama Care and the ways it will affect our economy. Next, I will discuss how Obama Care is funded and how there are still missing pieces that the administration needs to clear up. Lastly, I will argue how some of the American population thinks Obama Care is a scam. Then, to wrap up my paper I will be giving my opinion on this complex matter. Steps in the process of Obama Care The history of Obama Care is very complex but the name is the unofficial name for The Patient Protection and Affordable Care act, which was singed into law on March 23, 2010. The major requirements went into effect in January 1, 2014 even though significant modifications had happened before this date. Many Americans were opposed to Obama Care before it was even passed because they didn’t like the idea of the government taking over the healthcare polices. Now, I am going to...

...Regional Integration for and Against Articles Introduction The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement between the United States of America, Mexico and Canada. The agreement creates rules in the trade block and it was established in 1994. The goal of the agreement is remove or decrease the tariffs and non-tariffs barriers to stimulate trade. The NAFTA agreement included: * Removing all tariffs on 99 percent of the good by 2004. * Protection of intellectual property * Removal of most foreign direct investments with a few protections established for each country * Removal of barriers on the cross-border flow of service * Application of national environmental standard * Establishing two commissions with the power to impose fines and remove trade privileges if needed Regional integration is not only for economical reasons but it is also political. There is much opposition within each country and it takes many years to have an agreement that satisfies ever member country. Pros and Cons for NAFTA Advantages The main purpose for NAFTA is to create a larger and more efficient base for the entire North American region. The first advantage for the members of NAFTA was to reduce the tariffs that had been imposed in all their products. The cost of the products is also controlled in member nations of NAFTA since the import cost are not inflated by taxes. Lastly, the benefit is mutual for US and Canada to move production to Mexico.

...Abstract Engineering vs. Tech-Ops Any airline operating in the United States must operate under the regulations handed down from the Federal Aviation Administration. While the regulations handed down to U.S carriers come in many forms and cover all areas related to aviation, our discussion is focused on one of the most common regulations related to aircraft maintenance, the AD (airworthiness directive). These ADs are mandatory, however, at times the FAA allows operators to develop their own method of compliance based on a particular companies resources as long as the original safety requirements are met. When they do this it’s called an AMOC (Alternate Method of Compliance). On August 11, 1999 The FAA issued AD: # APA 87-99 FAA, to order insulation replacement on select aircraft. While this directive applied to all U.S. operators we will look at implementation at Delta Airlines. As Delta began reviewing the requirements, the maintenance planning team officials decided to implement it in its own way. We will look at how communication worked and in some cases did not work in this process. When AD 87-99 was issued by the FAA in August 1999 to order the replacement of insulation certain aircraft Delta was hugely affected. In total the AD covered 699 aircraft, 247 of which were operated by Delta. The problem, according to the FAA, was the original insulation blankets were covered with metalized Mylar. Over time this metalized Mylar had become flammable and replacement was...

...term, and debts. Import and Export China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has given U.S. farmers, manufacturers and service providers access to a large and growing market, resulting in the rapid growth of U.S. exports to China. Upon entering WTO, WTO required China to reduce its tariffs and other barriers to U.S. exports without requiring the United States to reduce any tariff. In 2001, China agreed to this and has become the United States’ third largest trading partner behind Canada and Mexico. An important component of that increased trade is U.S. exports. Although the U.S. exports declined by 10 percent throughout the rest of the other countries; the U.S. exports to China increased by 66 percent. Removal of import quotas for American-made automobiles and motor-cycles has given U.S. producers access to one of the world’s largest and fastest growing markets for those products. “China adopts two-column tariff for imports: a general rate and a preferential rate. The general tariff rate applies to goods from countries and regions that have not signed reciprocal tariff...

...importantly, the president called the Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM), a group which met continuously for next twelve days and almost daily for some six weeks thereafter and wanted an air strike on the missile sites. “The President…knew he would have to act.” Kennedy instructed the members to come forward with recommendations for one course or possibly several alternative course of action and various alternatives like quarantine, blockade, and air strike against the missile bases alone were suggested. While the argument went on about the possible sanction the missiles were already in Cuba and they realized that a blockade would not solve the problem. Moreover, if U.S demanded the removal of missile from Cuba the soviets would demand the removal of missile around Europe near the Soviet Union. This was a time when Kennedy really showed what he was made of and never wanted to take rash decision that may have tempered the world into nuclear devastation. Meanwhile the missiles were directed at...

...The Constitution is central to the American Life. The Declaration of independence asserts the ends of American government: equal rights and the consent of the government for the sake of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But the constitution is the fundamental act of lawgiving which orders our politics, secures our rights, and defines the nation. It creates the institutions and practical arrangements by which we express our consent and govern ourselves. The development, design and structures of constitutionalism in the United States are important not because these concepts are old, or even exclusively ours, but because they form the basic architecture of American Liberty. Who controls the nation’s immigration laws- Congress or Executive? Although the question seems straight forward, the historical picture is mixed, and the text of the U.S. Constitution does not point clearly to the answer. While the Constitution’s text and the various Supreme Court cases interpreting this text suggest that the federal government has the exclusive power to enact and enforce the nation’s immigration laws, state and local authorities still play an important role in regulation of immigration because they shape the conditions of daily life for immigrants in their jurisdictions. This piece of writing will in the best possible way, clearly explain who between Congress and Executive should be responsible for immigration laws and conclude that, Congress according to the U.S constitution, is and...

...“Pro-choice Abortion” Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe it is immoral and even consider it to be murder. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth.” 1 These pro-life believers do not support the idea of induced abortion and believe it should be illegal. Many of these supporters do not know that if abortion were illegal they would still be performed, unfortunately by an uneducated staffs. Over 70 thousand maternal deaths occur every year because of unsafe abortions1. These women die, so the idea of supporting pro-life is contradictory, this is why the nation should be pro-choice. Pro-choice believers support the right to privacy and the idea women should have the choice to do what she pleases with her own body. As an example; a woman is raped by a man and becomes pregnant with his child. She decides she doesn’t want to keep the baby; she has an abortion because the idea of raising a child of her rapist is too painful for her to cope with. Pro-choice defenders take sympathies to this woman while she then gets called a murderer by pro-life supporters. Abortions sometimes results in the woman being harassed because of the choice she has made about her own body. That’s what pro-life supports. Often time’s situations like this turns into harassment which can be considered to be part of anti-abortion violence1...
