When a city and its metropolitan areas are designed and settled, the purposes for which an area is used are taken into consideration. This subject is examined by Sociologist Ernest Burgess in "The Growth of the City," in which he examines Chicago and vicinity. In addition, Bruce Epperson (2007), the author of “Eminence Domain: Reassessing the Life and Public Works of Robert Moses” examines the way in which Robert Moses geared his projects for New York City and the surrounding area (p.1).

However, there are many media reports which illustrate a completely opposite narrative, they indicate that the government has been taking many steps to stop this damage and these steps have even produced some fruitful results. Reports have mentioned that “to a large extent, land-grabbing in mangrove areas by unscrupulous builders in the city has stopped” because of the mangroves being classified as forests (McDermott n.p., 2011). The government has also taken steps like unclogging water channels…

follows: New York Times v. Sullivan, Morse v. Frederick, Bethel School District v. Fraser and Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District case establised the “disruption test” that many court cases that followed adhered to. The “disruption test” meant that an act of expression should be permitted within a school facility as long as it does not disturb school functions or attack the rights of another…

the possibility of creationism being taught in public schools as an alternative/or alongside evolution. Instead of using the Bible solely for spiritual purposes, many of those who follow it believe that it should be honored as a legitimate science. However, since creationism is unable to be scientifically tested and undergo the same extensive fire that evolution has for centuries, it should not be taught as a science course in public schools. The Bible has been said to date back as far as 3000…

From my earliest recollections I knew I desired to be a teacher. My bedroom closet served as a one-room school house where I taught Raggedy Ann and Andy, an overstuffed bear…
