America’s states alone have changed their drinking age multiple times from 21 to 18, 19, or 20 and now have finally settled on 21 thanks to the passing of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. However, this has not silenced the underlying grumble of the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) being too high and not without good reason. The current drinking age should be lowered to 18 as…

The current law in America states that a person who is the age of twenty-one or older is legally allowed to consume alcohol.

When the hardcore facts concerning this substance are thoroughly examined and thought over, one would see there is only one answer to this dispute. The United States has many problems concerning alcohol and younger people in…

Estrogen replacement was given to the surgically induced menopausal women evaluating the levels of homocysteine. A…

“…over 11 million people cycle through local jails each year,” (Prison Policy Initiative 2015). Because of this constant transfer of people from the jailhouse to the real world, correctional counselors are definitely needed. The purpose of having correctional counselors is to help inmates process the transition from jail or prison back to the real world. This counseling gives inmates the opportunity to express their fears and obstacles they think they will have to face before actually being…

Republican Ronald Wilson Reagan stepped into office as the 40th president of the United States of America on January 20, 1981. At age 69 he began his two-term journey as one of the most charismatic presidents in history. His past as an actor, his great communication skills, and his inspirational and comforting whimsy led the public to form nicknames for President Reagan, such as The Great Communicator and The Gipper, that mimicked his inspirational nature.

Nations are not the only entities capable of providing aid, and much of the individual work done in foreign countries comes from the private sector of society. Military aid will almost always require a government presence, but smaller expeditions, such as volunteers sent to teach, or distribute medicine, or provide service, act independently from the government. These organizations often provide a large amount of disaster relief as well, collecting and distributing donations of food, clean water…

Despite this, however, government agencies are not all on board and lack the understanding as to why they need to open up data about their activities…
