Recently, according to CNN, “The brutal murder of Farkhunda, a young…

mistreatment. Thomas Jefferson conveys his frustration of his shady leader as well by writing, “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government… Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.” In simpler terms, Jefferson is…

Today, more youths are involved in gangs, murders, and assaults than history has shown. So, if these children are capable of committing adult crimes, shouldn’t they face adult consequences? It seems that the severity of juvenile crime has risen so much, that it is hard to distinct it from adult crimes. On the other hand, most adult offenders we find today, who commit murder or assault are not first time offenders. The unfortunate thing is that a survey given by the Pretrial Services Resource…

does in fact fall under free speech. Even though it disconcerts some of the student body, it cannot be outlawed, but just because it’s a right doesn’t mean that its okay to take it to an offensive level. Bok states “The fact that speech is protected under the First Amendment does not necessarily mean that it is right, proper, or civil” (par. 4).

strived for enfranchisement since they had very few rights, especially the right to vote. Without the right to vote they could not help their children at the time who were being treated inhumanely. These children had varying ages from 6 to 16 and they were working for 12 hours or even more. Without child labor laws this was going on in the states without much opposition other than the children’s mothers. In her speech, Kelley pushed for women’s rights in order to gain political power to change…

The Evolution of Women’s Rights Many historians mark the beginning of the Women’s Rights Movement on July 13, 1848. It all began with a tea party when Elizabeth Cady Stanton was invited to have tea with four of her women friends. During the course of the tea party, she expressed her concern with the way women were treated in this “New America.” Within two days of this conversation, Stanton and the other four women picked out a day to hold a convention. This date was July 19 and July 20 ,1848…
