across the US. Pennies just aren’t worth it anymore. Pennies cost a lot. In fact, they cost more to produce than they are worth. “In the United States, the mint says, each copper & zinc coin cost 2.41 cents to produce & distribute,” Jeff Sommer says in his ‘Penny Wise, or 2.4 Cents Foolish’ article from 2012. Money adds up. Over…

When I carried to him my weekly wages, he would, after counting the money, look me in the face with a robber-like fierceness, and ask, "Is this all?" He was satisfied with nothing less than the last cent. He would, however, when I made him six dollars, sometimes give me six cents, to encourage me. It had the opposite effect. I regarded it as a sort of admission of my right to the whole. The fact that he gave me any part of my wages was proof, to my mind, that he believed me entitled to…

survival. To weaken the power of Indian chiefs, who seriously oppose the removal, Jackson proposed the annuities for tribal capital improvements and tribal education, however, are currently terminated. Moreover, the Cherokee receives only forty-four cents per cents, which are obviously insufficient to their survival. Is it worth it to deliberately cause all the slaughterous bloodshed in the Seminole War for “the nation’s interests” for lands? Are Indians lives negligible enough to…

According to the first article, the focus of the study is based on a “protocol of a quasi-experiment to increase the engagement of pregnant women who smoke in NHS Stop Smoking Services” (Bennett et al. BMC Public Health 2014). The study carried out in the first article’s aims to gather reliable and valid information on how effective the three different models of service delivery to deal with the breach in the evidence base about how to carry out a flexible, customized stop smoking service for…

Agricultural growth must be underpinned by a reliable and efficient financial system capable of making compatibility between the expansion or adequacy of credit flow and both the investment and working capital needs of the agricultural sector. The financial sector reforms of 1991 had created a basic fear that this would lead to the dilution of the directed credit policy or priority sector lending by the commercial banks and the deregulation of interest rates which consequently reduced the flow…

traced all the way back to 1776 and although the discrimination has weakened over the years, it still remains (Pay Scale). The idea that the gender wage gap does not exist is a hoax. Karin Agness Lips writes, “Using the statistic that women make 78 cents on the dollar as evidence of rampant discrimination has been debunked over and over again. That statistic doesn’t take into account a lot of choices that women and men make—education, years of experience and hours worked—that influence earnings”…

Historians often regard the eighteenth century as one of the most criminal in the history of Early Modern England. Property crimes were the most common sort of vagrant behaviour, but some violent incidences did take place, usually in the form of riots. Many times, these riots were to express the general discontentment of the population against certain factors. Property crime was a certain eventuality, especially when the growing economic prosperity of England is considered. It is likely that the…

Newspapers and book publishing was expanding. As the population became more educated people wanted a say on the way they were governed. In 1750 only a small five per cent of the population could vote in the elections in the houses of commons. But women were ruled out. Five per cent of the population could vote in the houses of common but women in 1825 still couldn’t vote. At a political meeting held in Manchester in 1819 to demand reform of parliament, troops…

Many Aboriginal children were left with no proficiency in any language, including their native language, due to poor teaching (Barnes, Josefowitz, & Cole, 2006). In 1930, 3 per cent of Aboriginal children had gone beyond grade 6, compared to 33 per cent of the general Canadian school population. By the 1940s, it was evident that residential school systems were failing (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2012). There were many immediate impacts on Indigenous…

Police Response to Domestic Violence Domestic violence has been an ever growing epidemic and it has become more prevalent now more than ever. In the 1960’s wife battering was considered a social issue and seen as a matter between husband wife in which the police were rarely called out and neighbors didn’t get involved. According to "Police Response to Domestic Violence"(n.d.), “Police officers were trained on how to respond to family violence crises by separating the parties for a cooling-down…
