J. William Fulbright

argument made in “Senator J. William Fulbright on the Arrogance of Power” against military action in the Vietnam War.

The Broken Window’s Theory was developed by Professor James Q. Wilson and Professor George L. Kelling. Wilson and Kelling examined the relationship between disorder in a community and the criminal activity in that community. Their theory is based on the idea that one broken window in a building is a signal to potential criminals that the building and the community is not cared about. This leads the potential criminals to think that criminal deviancy is invited because no one appears to care…

remarked “That’s a might nice looking six-shooter you got there.” In a heartbeat, he stole the gun from Grant’s holster, spun its cylinder to an empty chamber, and casually handed it back. Further into the night, Grant whipped out the same revolver on “the Kid” attempting to fire a shot, except that the chamber was empty. Immediately, “the Kid” drew his own weapon and fired a shot, dropping Grant dead where he stood (Andrews). This senseless murder typifies how the cultural climate of the time…

The people behind the phlogiston theory believed that the whenever a substance sets on fire, the fire gives off phlogiston. The phlogiston was believed be the kind of gas which causes fire. Without phlogiston, the combustible substance won’t be able to set on fire. In the late 1660’s a scientist…
