Gun control and crime rate have a very complex relationship. In the Bill of Rights, the Second amendment states that every man has a right to bear arms. Does gun control protect the Second Amendment? Is it possible that gun control saves lives? In today’s political society, the correlation between gun control and crime rate is a highly controversial topic. The question is: does gun control reduce crime rate or not? A Harvard study was done to determine if banning firearms would reduce murder…

challenged. (Pine, Bradford). High school students are challenged, so they have put effort into their work. Being challenged will develop work ethic and growth in an individual. Receiving good grades in challenging courses is what colleges value the most (Hawkins, David). Parents pay for education, but often times do not get anything in return. Many parents put in extra work, so they can see their child, or children, excel. Morals and education come first, and sports come second. With good…

healthy and well-kept parents. According to the article, “The parents seemed healthy, police said, but their five children, ranging in age from 4 to 14, were filthy, fatigued and so malnourished that their bones were protruding from under their skin” (Hawkins, 2016). This solidifies the necessity for advocates of child welfare policies. The abuse or neglect not only impacts the life of the children yet extends to communities and society as a…

Whether school uniforms should be mandatory or not has been a debate that has lasted many years. Not many studies have been conducted over the issue, but the ones that did, presented positive effects with children who wear school uniforms. The board of education needs to enforce a school uniform policy amongst all public schools because regular clothing may be destructive to students’ social and learning skills. Doing so will present a stress-free environment that will help children improve…

a voodoo doll, which Hale responds by asking the orphan to tell the truth, which is that Mary Warren is actually the one to blame, according to Abigail. On page 48, Abigail makes the comments of, “I saw Goody Sibber with the Devil!...I saw Goody Hawkins with the Devil!...I saw Goody Booth with the Devil!” (Miller). Without even thinking, Abigail just continues to pour out names of girls with absolutely no evidence to show for it. The power that Abigail possesses, which is to apparently be able…

Obviously there will be people that do not agree with my views. For example, one might argue the “punishment” example. First, they might claim that if they do use contraceptives and they do not work, should potential parents really be punished for their actions? You could say that abstinence is 100% effective, but that can be viewed as unrealistic because that would take away one’s lifestyle approach. These people can argue this is like claiming that an extremely safe driver, gets in an…

Yesterday I received a letter of dismissal from DePaul school of nursing. I am aware that my grades have been low for the last two semesters in which I take full responsibility. I write this appeal letter to explain the cause and ask you to please consider reinstating me. I wish to state that my poor grades are not due to low ability or not being able to retain the material. Neither was it procrastination to study. Instead, my grades have suffered because I have been trying to juggle between…

Why having a basketball team would affect a city ? Pittsburgh is in need of another sports franchise because, it would enhance the city and add value as well as pride to the city. Having a basketball team would help bring revenue to our city. People would travel all over the country to see the high level competition. It would allow more job opportunities because they would need employees to work at the games. We will also have top basketball players living in our city which would attract…

to be the focus of Huxley writings. I particularly admire his thoughts in professing his thoughts. Even though his writings on Darwin’s bulldog meant to advocate for Darwin’s theory of evolution, I find his writings more profound and insightful (Hawkins, 1997).…

Public schools in America provide opportunities for all the children in the United States, and people from all over the world come here for a better education, but it’s undeniable the school system has flaws. Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), is a survey used to rank 15 year olds from the 64 participating countries worldwide. In the most recent data (conducted in 2012) Shanghai, China had the #1 scores in mathematics, reading, and science and on the contrary the United…
