Within the past year, eleven million Americans abused an opioid pain reliever and two million became dependent on them.

The Scopes Trial (The State of Tennessee V John) was about the teaching of Evolution. Originally in the state of Tennessee it was illegal to teach the topic of Evolution in any state funded school. In the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, John Scopes was teaching Evolution and got caught doing so. At the end of the case he only got fined $100 dollars, which is kind of a joke, but gave the case the new name of The Scopes Monkey Trial. It got this name because most believe…

Mandelbaum believes that U.S foreign Policy has failed since the end of the cold war through different factors. Mandelbaum makes a strong case ideologically crusading into regime change, which invariably fails regardless of how virtuous the intent is. We first need to define what foreign policy and the cold war is in order to evaluate Mandelbaum and whether he thinks U.S. foreign policy has failed or not. He mentions that the years of 1991-2014 were very distinct from any previous period in…

Through the Stand Your Ground Law hundreds of criminals walk away from murder with no sentencing or punishment. Due to its many flaws a murder can walk free. Abused by most people, the law allows for someone to kill in cold blood and simply plead self-defense. The Stand Your Ground Law could have been beneficial in many cases but the constant use of abuse to avoid incarceration is appalling. A law intended to protect our rights and property was written so poorly that it could be twisted in the…

INTRODUCTION There is a Chinese proverb that Benjamin Franklin is famously quoted as sharing “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and understand”. Children may not always remember every lesson you’ve taught them along the way but they will certainly remember what you did and most importantly how you made them feel. When children see a modeled behavior where love affection and love are organically expressed they are able to emulate this same behavior in all aspects of…

The Defense of the Defenseless “If anybody finds anything in this life that brings them consolation and health and happiness, I think they ought to have it”(Linder para 8). This quote came from defensive lawyer Clarence Darrow. Darrow felt that everyone was entitled to life, freedom of thought, and a second chance.
