...I think the open carry law should be allowed because if you are carrying a handgun, somebody attacks you, and you shoot them then you are stopping crime at its peek. The open carry law of Texas states that you are allowed carry any handgun as long as you have a license, but the handgun must be carried in a shoulder or belt holster, and you must be 21 years of age or older to get a license. This means handguns will be in the hands of an adult, and not a kid which is one good thing. Another good thing about the open carry law of Texas is that if someone sees that a store is getting robbed then that person can stop the robber with his handgun from stealing from the store. That way the other people that was in the store is safe from the robber,...

Pro Evolution Atheists would be pro-evolution, as evolution tends to use scientific evidence to justify its assumptions. According to the BBC website, "Atheists say that far from God being a good explanation for the world, it's God that now requires explaining." They would most likely be uncomfortable with creationism, as it is based in Christian values. Pro Atheists tend to stress the equality of male and female, and therefore would likely support the study of women's rights in the middle east. In fact, according to the BBC website,...

...increasing one’s appetite. “Worldwide studies have shown it to be useful for treating pain, reducing nausea and increasing appetite, among a growing list of other things” (Vorenberg. S). When not abused, marijuana’s symptoms are mild and not often people are uncontrollable. While legalizing marijuana cannot only benefit the critically ill, it can help out our government and increase its revenue. Marijuana is tough on our justice system financially, however, if things changed and it were legalized it could be taxed and used for the government’s funding. By legalizing marijuana, each state could bring in more money by taxing it. The state and government could save money because they would spend less money prosecuting against it and enforcing weed laws. There are over 750,000 people who are arrested for marijuana...

...OPEN-SOURCE MOVEMENT AND THE FUTURE ITSU1003 INTRODUCTION TO OPEN-SOURCE Generally computer software sources (the human readable version of the software) are of two kinds; closed and open. Open-source programming has been prominently growing in the past ten years. In this model, programmers share their codes freely in order to be modified and used by others. They are allowed to alter and change the original software as much as they like. This in turn will produce higher quality software with improved features. For the open-source programs to be reliable, some sort of licenses has been approved by Open Source Initiative (OSI) which is a “non-profit corporation dedicated to managing and promoting the open-source definition for the good of the community, especially through the OSI Certified Open-source software certification mark and program.” HISTORY OF OPEN-SOURCE Open-source began to form in the hacker’s society of the United States computer science laboratories such as Stanford and MIT in the late 1960’s. Programmers were members of societies in which each member was expected to share his or her code among the society members. This would apply improvements on different codes by members of the society. In addition, programmers were able to use each other’s knowledge in their own interest mutually. By the early 1980’s the university hacker societies began to collapse, and the hackers were hired by commercial companies producing proprietary systems (systems that required...

...borders (Passel). With this large of a population, immigrants do have an impact on the population and the laws for how to deal with them must be updated. There is a large number of the illegal immigrants working for cash, sharing houses, avoiding taxes, and still sending their children to public schools, and driving on the roads that citizen’s tax money pays for. Currently the law on illegal immigrants is mostly black and white stating that it is a crime to be in the country illegally. However, if the government updates the system to help naturalize them lawfully, states and the immigrants both have a potential to benefit. There are many factors contributing to the immigration of illegal immigrants into Texas. The majority of these immigrants are from Central America through the border shared with Mexico. There are push and pull factors causing them to move here. “The report from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops identifies poverty, paucity of educational opportunities, the urge to join family already in the U.S., and the fear of growing crime as powerful factors propelling immigrants northward” (Millman). In a report from the United Nations, “homicide rates increased in five out of eight countries in Central America over the previous five years” (Millman). These factors make America more appealing than the countries being fled from, but this is not an excuse to break the law. A plan needs to be put into action to help these people seek refuge. The amount of...

...Rough Draft Chad Coble 1-14-2014 ENG-102 Growing up, everyone is told that, “Drugs are bad for you,” time and time again. When you are a kid you don’t really understand the reasoning behind it, but you listen to your elders regardless. I remember being told this my entire life and even to this very day. But when I got older I realized that people would still use drugs even though it’s illegal. I could never understand why someone would go against the law and risk there future just to use drugs? The drug that I am talking about is marijuana, and surprisingly it is all around us. Marijuana is even referred to in today’s media Mainstream media sources that people enjoy, like music, movies, and TV shows, do not even bother to leave the drug out of their system. Now being a young adult and having my own personal experience with the drug and knowing its effects on others, I wonder why it’s not legal. Why is it that this drug has become illegal all over the world? The debate to legalize marijuana in the United States of America has been fought over nonstop since the existence of the drug and its effects. Marijuana has been tested and proven to provide a very positive impact on the American society for many reasons. Some of these reasons are for America’s economy, health and even crime. These reasons could very well help America thrive in the future and that is why Marijuana should be legalized in the United States of America. This naturally found plant known...

...controversy, hostility and even violence. The church, State and special interest organizations expound on the pros and cons of abortion rights. Often these abortion rights are fueled by moral, ethical, religious and legal arguments both in favor of Right to Life, as well as Pro-Choice. The issues become more complex where abortion involves a teenager, as the teenager's rights vs. parental involvement contributes to the hot debate on who has the legal right to choose. The woman has every right to decide whether she wants to carry the pregnancy to full term or to have an abortion. However, since unprotected sex results in unplanned pregnancy, parents should have a say in abortion decision. The physical health risk of abortion is very low when done in the early stages of pregnancy and in qualified abortion clinic. Ninety Seven percent of women who have abortion in their first trimester have no complications, and the risk for adolescents is low if done in the first trimester. (O'Keeffe & Jones.) The physical risks of abortion for teens is greater than that of their adult counterpart because teens have a longer approval process that increase the risk of the abortion been done in the second trimester. If the parents are a part of the decision then the approval process maybe shorter, eliminating the complications associated with late term abortions. Early term abortion carries less risk for physical health issues and reduces the potential for pregnancy related health issues that can...

...One of the most controversial and widely-discussed topics in the culture of today is marijuana and its medicinal and recreational use, along with the pros and cons associated with it. Currently, the states of Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington, along with the District of Columbia have made the recreational use of marijuana legal. There are, however, some laws regarding things such as possession of plants, public consumption, and whether or not you can give or receive it as a gift. First up is the state of Colorado. Amendment 64 went into effect in late 2012, making the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes legal. Adult residents of Colorado 21 and over can possess, use, and/or purchase up to 1 ounce of marijuana at a time. Adult non-residents may purchase up to ¼ ounce at a time. It is illegal to give marijuana to minors, and there are no exceptions to this law. Marijuana can only be consumed personally and privately.

...is still rising at a disrupting rate. The question that we need to ask ourselves is if the people that get out of prison deserve a second chance at a normal life. Everyone has a different opinion on this topic. Some people will agree that once a person serves time for the crime that they committed then they deserve a chance to start over. While others think that those who committed a crime should have thought about their actions before they did the things that they did. This paper will not just go over to the pros of why inmates deserve a second chance but the cons as well, in hopes that whoever reads this paper will make their own judgments based on all the information and not just part of the evidence. There are many pros for why a criminal deserves a second chance at life. For instance, many criminals have families that are in need of their assistance, financially, physically, and emotionally. There are also just as many cons to contradict all of those pros. A con would be that is statically proven that people are more likely to repeat their offenses. In the end many believe that God should have the final say when it comes to judgment and that flawed human beings should have the inability to decide the fate of another human being. After you have read this paper, I can confident that...

Milestone 1 Problem: The business problem to be solved is how can an entrepreneur start and maintain a successful E commerce business online?

...A Vaccination is something that most people face at least once in their lifetime. Many people are scared of shots, but get them because they know that it will prevent some gruesome disease. Jeffrey Kluger, author of Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio once stated, “Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It’s a simple message parents need to keep hearing.” If vaccines are so great, then why are people against it? B There is a debate in hospitals all over the world today over whether vaccination should be required by law. This law could be federal or state. A/B People are questioning whether vaccination is safe for their child. If there are harmful ingredients that could cause a life threatening disease. But do the disadvantages outweigh the benefits? C The choice of vaccination will reach everyone's life at some point. They will have to decided whether to vaccinated their child or themselves. They can not have their judgment clouded by outside forces that are not important to them. They have to decide whether the vaccine is worth it for them. Will the disease they are preventing be one they could possibly see in the future? However, leaving your child unvaccinated could lead to an epidemic of some sort. Most recently,...
