Ellen G. White

STUDENT NOTES AND COMMENTS ON THE CASE: I stand by the Court’s decision to uphold Roe v. Wade because I believe that whether a woman chooses to abort her fetus or not should ultimately be left up to her. The State should not have the authority to forbid abortions up until the fetus is able to live outside of the womb, at which point I believe that it is not moral nor should it be legal to abort the fetus. I agree with the decision made in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey to uphold the…

Trump the abortion controversy has re-resin and is being debated more and more frequently in day to day conversations. As communities’ debate point of views…

A utopia is a perfect society, but even the slightest mishap in the attempt of a utopia could develop it into a dystopia, a horrible and oppressive society. In 1961, a dystopian short story was written called Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut. The society has measured the strength, intelligence and looks of the average person and put handicap on the citizens who are above those expectations. Harrison Bergeron, a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, exhibits dystopian characteristics such as…

a fetus—a developing infant in the womb—is a person. Therefore, the fetus cannot be said to have any legal "right to life." Because it is unduly intrusive, the Texas law is unconstitutional and should be overturned. By a vote of 7–2, with Justices White and Rehnquist in dissent, the Court agreed with Roe and upheld her right to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester (90 days). The Court observed that Section 1 of the 14th Amendment contained three references to “person”. Blackmun's opinion…

The decades following the Civil War were a time of explosive growth for the United States, by the end of the Nineteenth century American economic wealth dwarfed that of its former colonial overseers. With this growth came challenges, the growing disparity between the wealthy and the poor led to deplorable and unsafe working conditions as the demand for production and more wealth for business owners became a more powerful motivator than human life and safety. This increase in economic success had…

Presidents of the United States encountered affairs that determined their legacies and how they were remembered throughout the nation. When looking back in history, the presidents were remembered for serving during important events and the solutions they produced to resolve the issues. Most were not remembered based on their characteristics, but on how well they lead the nation during difficult dilemmas. The particular circumstance involving economic situations, world affairs, or social issues…

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Just as it has been more interesting to take this class during an election year, perhaps now is also one of the most interesting times to study a Supreme Court justice. I chose John Roberts for two reasons, first, because he was a conservative and it is very likely that Donald Trump will choose a conservative justice this year. Secondly, because I thought it was interesting that he became a Supreme Court Justice at a relatively young age. I wondered, “Did he…

Negro slavery. Students spend years doing research projects and lessons pertaining to the history of America through the eyes of the White race. Even in today’s society, African-American history is not a main subject, but is offered as an elective. Woodson said “The destroying of one’s history will lead you to the destroying of their future.” He discussed how Whites thought they were more superior than Blacks because of their ‘cultural contributions’ throughout history. Because African-Americans…
