...WOMEN IN AMERICA 1 ! Women In America Katarina Davison HIS204: American History Since 1985 Laverne Peralta February 2nd , 2015 WOMEN IN AMERICA 2 ! In the history of the world, women have ruled the world, shaped the world, and changed the world and in the United States, women have had a storied and grand history that has evolved the role of women from typical housewife to leaders of women's rights movements and has shown their true worth and true potential to their male counterparts. In this paper, I will be talking about six key events and time periods that have changed not just women's history but the overall history a nation. Three of these events and time periods will be before 1930 and three of them will be after 1930 to give the reader an overall sense of the evolution of the role women have played. The events that I will be talking about are the roles that women played in World War One beginning in 1914, the second historic event is the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, the third time period I will be talking about before 1930 is that of the roaring 1920s. After 1930, the changes were still happening for women and World War II was a major point in the evolution of what it means to be a woman, this time period was quickly followed by the baby boom. The final time period I will discuss is the Feminist Movement in the 1960s and how those efforts have led to a lasting impression of who women are in today's modern era. WOMEN IN AMERICA Annotated...

...America’s Cash Crop “Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?” ― Bill Hicks The legalization of marijuana is a debate being held all over the country. Everyone has their own opinion on the whole idea of marijuana. There are legislators who think that if marijuana is legalized that it will be grown illegally, and medically abused. There are potheads who think it would be cool and that they would get cheaper weed. But what it comes down to are the numbers. Marijuana is a cash crop. How can Wisconsin say no to numbers like fourteen billion, and thirty five billion dollars? Can legalizing marijuana rescue Wisconsin’s economy? Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington. In seventeen states, and DC it is legal to have at least an ounce of marijuana. In fourteen of them it is legal to even have plants (ProCon). Should Wisconsin be state number eighteen? NBC News produced an article Marijuana Called US Cash Crop and within that article they state “The study estimates that marijuana production, at a value of $35.8 billion, exceeds the combined value of corn ($23.3 billion) and wheat ($7.5 billion).” Wisconsin is in forty six billion dollars of debt and increasing every second (WisconsinDebtClock). If marijuana can bring in millions...

...Manny Rodriquez HIST 4306 Research Paper Dr. Keith King Impact of the Great Depression and the Repeal of National Prohibition In 1933 Although both the coming and the arrival of the Great Depression did have some influence over the decision to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, other factors played a part – most importantly the simple fact that prohibition didn’t work. In the early 1920s and throughout the 1930s America suffered through a period of economic decline, and because of this, the government in particular, was in need of funds to fuel its weakening economy. Taxation on alcohol would contribute towards the resources for relief, and prevent higher taxes in other areas of business which would only compound the situation. Each year the government was missing out on a sum of around $500 million which would be brought in by a tax on alcohol, and would significantly help America during the crisis. As well as this, an end to prohibition would eliminate the costs required to enforce it – an extra expenditure the government could not afford at this time. Economically, an end to prohibition would help strengthen the unstable situation in America: ending unproductive government spending as well as bringing new money into the system. Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment would also meet social demands brought about by the crisis. Those facing hard times wanted to drink, and wanted an end to the law to allow them to do so more easily; thus the Great Depression added...

...Research Paper Your name: Matthew Turner Your Capella email address: mturner86@capellauniversity.edu The course number: IT3006 Instructor name: Professor Julie Krummen Date submitted: 2/26/16 Title of your paper: PIPA & SOPA Introduction In this paper, the topics to be discussed are what is PIPA and SOPA, prior related acts or laws, impacts on the first and fourth amendment, impacts on e-commence, supporters, and oppositions. This topic may seem old, but it could always come back later. Back in 2011 and 2012, there was a big fight between Congress and the Internet sites. This fight was over PIPA and SOPA which people associated it with censoring the Internet. However, it was much more than just censoring the Internet. It violated not one, but two amendments that are granted to every U.S. citizen. It also had the potential to hurt e-commence. As Wikipedia said on one of it’s blackout pages in 2012 “Imagine a world without free knowledge” and that is exactly what these sites were trying to protect. Yes, they may have won for now, but there is always a chance these acts could show up again. What is PIPA? PIPA is short for PROTECT IP Act or Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act. This bill was introduced to the Senate on May 12, 2011 (U.S. Senate, 2011). This act would “enhance enforcement against rogue websites operated and registered overseas” (U.S. Senate, 2011). Once the Attorney General gets a court...

...changes have not made as large of an impact as they should have. Many people see the education in India as inadequate, which it may certainly be. Before the British East India Company took the steps to intervene into the educational system, education had little to do with government. The education of India has an interesting history. It is believed by many historians that in the ancient days, the material that was to be taught was done so by word of mouth and was to be taught by the sages and the scholars. The information was passed on from one generation to the other. After the development of letters obviously people started to write. These ancient people were using things like palm leaves and the barks of trees as their form of our everyday paper, in doing so this also aided in spreading the written literature. Places like temples and community centers posed as schools. Some...

...Topics in Native Hawaiian Law – Fall 2013, Prof. Sproat Final Paper – December 20, 2013 Oliver Manglona Affording the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Island’s Groundwater Constitutional Protection: A Contextual Review of Groundwater Use and Management I. Introduction Chamorro elders often speak about the abundance of freshwater when they were growing up. They established personal relationships with these waters and gave them Chamorro names. Uncle Ben from Songsong Village, Rota recalled one particular spring, which he called “Agaton.” According to Uncle Ben, “Agaton” came from Bobo Mames. Bobo in Chamorro means, “spring” and Mames means, “sweet.” Thus, Agaton refers to the “Sweet Spring.” Uncle Ben recalled that Agaton would flow directly behind his house, which fed the marshland in his parent’s backyard. He reminisced about how he and his younger brothers would often go to the marshland at night to pick Ayuyu (Coconut Crab). He then lamented, “Oh, how I miss those days.” Uncle Ben also shared that in the early 1940s almost everyone dug wells. He noted that his father and mother would walk several miles to Songsong Village to fetch pails of water from a dug-up well that had supplied the entire village before European contact, as well as during the Spanish, German, and Japanese occupations. He described it as “fresh,” “cold,” and “sweet.” He again lamented, “Oh, how I miss those days.” Uncle Ben’s recollections raise concerns regarding the future...

Lee Bollinger (defendant) was president of the University of Michigan. Grutter filed this suit because the University had discriminated against the basis of race.

This however, is not a current issue. In fact, the importance of good air quality was reco ng or heart disease, the elderly, and very young children under the age of five (Buchdahl "Health Effects" 1). In a study taken, it was estimated that six of every ten Americans live in an area that fails to meet one or more federal air quality standards What therefore should the citizens of this country do to prevent such catastrophes? This paper aims to expose the different types of air pollutants, where they come from, their specific effects on the environment, and what we as human beings should do t Air Pollutants First, one must take a look at the different pollutants and air toxins. Ozone is a gas that can be both beneficial and very harmful. High in the upper atmosphere it may shield the earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation waves from the sun.
