1973

global conflicts, we have become a nation based around “self-defense” instead of “just cause” (Boylan & Kedrowski, 2004; Fisher, n.d.; Hathaway, n.d.). One of the prime examples of War Powers literature comes from the 1973 War Powers Resolution passed by Congress (Rep. Zablocki, 1973). As Vietnam was winding down, Congress sought to prevent other divisive wars with US involvement, Congress must be consulted within 48 hours if military action is…

Like Ray Charles, Gray’s music crossed over and appealed to the pop, soul, and country listening audience. The title track peaked at number five on the Hot 100 charts. In 1973, the RIAA certified Dobie Gray’s single “Drift Away” gold for its over half a million US sales. Also in 1973, Willie Nelson recorded a few tracks of his album, Shotgun Willie, at Quad studios. While the album sold respectably, Shotgun Willie is considered one of the first recordings of the “Outlaw Country”…

Operation Badr is the codename given to the joint Syrian and Egyptian attack on Israel. The surprise attack began on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur at 1400 on October 6, 1973. Coincidentally, not only did this war start on the holiest of Jewish holidays, but it was also fought during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which is why it is still referred to as the Ramadan war in the Muslim world. The purpose of this essay is threefold: first, to explore exactly why this war was fought in the…

within a workforce. Affirmative Action’s help create a diversified workforce which could help an organization. I will discuss EEO compliance requirements that impact a federal subcontractor such as, Executive Order 11246, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act. Further, I will explain some of the components of an Affirmative Action plan and expounded upon placement goals. Lastly, I will explain how Affirmative Action goals go hand-in-hand…

In 1973, the Roe v. Wade law was passed after there was a vote of 7-2 in-favor of abortion because it falls within the right to privacy. In 1973, pro-choice campaigners marched across mid-town New York to demonstrate how they believe in women's rights to choice. In the 1976 presidential election, Republican…

Spirit is the actual giver of these gifts at the time a person makes a conscious decision to become saved and edify God. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit at the time of Pentecost with the sign gifts in order to confirm the works of the Apostles [(Sons 1973) (1Cor. 2:17)]. Also this was a way prove to the Jews that God and Christ were real, as well to lift up and edify the Church (Towns 2008, pp.271). There are many more gifts, however they do not all fall in the same category. These are the non…

What is your topic? The topic I have chosen to study is the Aquarius Festival held in Nimbin, NSW. The 9 day festival from May 12th to 21st 1973 may have been the best thing to happen to Nimbin. The dying dairy town in desperate need of business was approached by the Australian Union of students and asked to hold an alternative lifestyle festival on the showground of the town. Although the values of the conservative town members differed from the alternative festival attendees they agreed for…

keep their support. Furthermore, Milk was elected in San Francisco, which in a 1964 Life magazine article was described as the ‘gay capital of America’. So, it is possible that gay people were almost universally accepted in San Francisco in the period 1973-80 but it is equally likely that there were many parts of America, such as in the conservative deep south, where being openly gay was very dangerous, as it ultimately was for Milk himself. The usefulness of Source 9 is further limited by its…

year of 1960, there were only 292 abortions. These numbers have climbed high over the past couple years. In 1990, the year with the highest number, there were 1,608,600 abortions. It has decreased to 926,190 in 2014 (U.S. Abortion Statistics by Year [1973-current] 1). Although there are very few similarities, numbers were relatively close as time got closer to Roe v. Wade. As you can clearly see, the decision made in Roe v. Wade forced the number of abortions to sky rocket. Before Roe v. Wade…

on Crime The authors John J. Donohue and Steven D. Levitt released their journal article “The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime”, in May 2001. Both authors have the strong opinion that the legalization of abortion in the years between 1970 and 1973 is the main reason for the decline of the crime in the 1990s. Donohue and Levitt are able to support their findings with evidence from their research throughout their whole article. Moreover, this research was not the first in this area; the…
