without giving citizens the choice to vote. To add, The Napoleonic Civil Code of France 1804 didn’t address and include clauses that reinforce the rule of the majority. On the contrary, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen included a clause stating that all citizens have a right to decide, however, in the end the people weren’t given a choice to elect Napoleon emperor for life. Even though the revolution didn’t include rule of the majority, they did insure equality under the law for…

Did you know most girls who hit their puberty stages get extremely intimate over the boy they like? Consequently they end up taking birth control pills as their contraception.

In the novel Home, Toni Morrison talks about a Korean veteran…

government is doing this now, and you have no clue. Now that seems pretty insane, does it not? The government would be completely abusing their power if they chose to do this. Just to maintain order the government does not have to use surveillance and watch our every move. That is outrageous and most definitely is an abuse of power. The government would be abusing power because watching peoples every move would be violating their privacy completely; the government would also be abusing power…

One of the most well-known examples of a modern dictatorship is Kim Jong Un’s “leadership” over North Korea. So well known that Hollywood ended up making two satirical films about how poorly North Korea has been lead, one being the assassination of Kim Jong Un called “The Interview” and the other about assassinating his father, Kim Jong Il, called “Team America: World Police”. Kim Jong Un was born into power as an heir to Kim Jong Il and was given the position as supreme leader of the Democratic…

Today we put forth a new proposal to implement legal safeguards to protect both children and adults from the harms of immigration detention. For far too long we have become insensitive towards the cruel treatment of refugees. We have lost perspective on who these people really are and what they have to offer.

only had a choice to sleep outside on such a freezing night, don’t seem to be treated as human even though dogs or cats can sleep inside warm houses. People have rights, which are for people to live as humans. Rights are invisible and valuable, but people tend to take them for granted because they already have them. There is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that promises the equal and inalienable rights of every one of people under the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the…

Censorship Almost since human beings began sharing ideas, the issue of censorship (officially suppressing ideas or writing) has been debated. Proponents of censorship argue, for example, that offensive material might morally corrupt children or that governments have the right to protect their national secrets. Opponents argue that censorship infringes on individual freedom and hinders progress. Censorship has long been an issue regarding books and papers; now, it has become a critical issue…

On the off chance that a pregnancy has happened, once you've settled on one of two options – staying pregnant, or ending your pregnancy, there are three more fundamental decisions to make. Parenthood, fetus removal or appropriation are all just as suitable, lawful (in many areas) and substantial decisions, any of which might be the best decision for somebody at a given time, and nobody of those decisions is any less complex or simpler to make than another. At the point when a woman gets to be…

people yearn for: freedom and beauty. Freedom is a precious and unique gift. In this world, freedom is the ideology everyone wants, but we, Americans, don’t think too much about it. In many countries, people are not free; they don’t have the same human rights as we have. In America, we have the Constitution to ensure the freedom of all Americans.
