If America had stricter gun laws, and background checks instead of hiding behind the Second Amendment, we could…

In order for the government to truly consider it a tool to be used by the citizens of a given country, the laws must reflect the decision-making possibilities that any Canadian adult is entitled to make. With tobacco and alcohol, the government has provided regulation in a previously unruly set of industries in order for adults to make informed decisions. Sadly this has not been the case for recreational drugs. The laws currently in place restrict the use of recreational drugs. In this paper,…

There are two possible ways a person, society, or a country can stop violence. One way to stop gun violence is by record keeping. “The Brady Bill, named after James Brady, the law required federally licensed dealers to conduct background checks.” (Krieg). Background checks would be a significant way to stop giving criminals guns because they could tell if you have a criminal record or not. The other way would be to initiate a prohibition and pass more…

Sales, which included T-shirts and denim jeans, reached $78 million, 98 percent of which came from the domestic market.

In late 1996, China’s leaders vehemently objected to Disney’s plans to distribute the movie ‘Kundun,’ Martin Scorsese’s film that told the story of Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and China’s brutal occupation of that nation. Following the film’s release in 1997, China’s leaders made threatening statements concerning Disney’s future in their markets.

This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
