KKK

Because Blacks had been given rights, the Klan felt it was their duty to prevent the former slaves from using them. For years, the harassment from the was successful. Until the civil rights movement of the 60's, it seemed as if the Ku Klux Klan had achieved their goal. The Klan rose again, even stronger than before with hundreds more people joining their "movement". The Klan doesn't use the same tactics as they did years and years ago. Realizing they would get more attentio .....

Facts About Marijuana
Number of words: 1254 - Number of pages: 5.... The folk medicine of Africa and Asia have used it as an
herbal preparation. A "mythical" and "legendary" pharmacist and

Capital Punishment
Number of words: 1039 - Number of pages: 4.... the past, capital crimes were much different than they are now.
Robbery and the selling of alcohol to underage customers was a serious capital
crime (McCuen and Baumgart 21). Rape was also a crime where the criminal was

murder to warrant the death penalty (Nardo 32). The first condition is that it
must be first degre .....

Abortion - Pro-Choice Views
Number of words: 1424 - Number of pages: 6.... my research, I found numerous women who led (and continue to lead) prominent and scot-free lives after their abortions. I think that the mental state of the mother depends very much on her personal feelings toward abortion, and the actual experience the had before and during the abortion.
Pro-life propaganda
In my study of pro-lifers, I have found that most of the time, they employ the use of a few strategies for making their views known. One tactic pro-lifers use to convince people of their views is to play on fear and emotions. Their graphic descriptions .....

Response To Wilson's "Just Take Away Their Guns"
Number of words: 628 - Number of pages: 3.... a gun? I don't
think it is possible to look at someone and tell if they are carrying a gun
or not. That is ridiculous. Just because of the way someone looks doesn't
mean that they are carrying a gun. What criteria should be used to
determine if someone looks like when they are carrying a gun? Do they put
on baggy pants with a do-rag before they put the gun in their pants or
pocket? As of right now, there is not one, and never will be one. I know
many people that carry guns that probably would be stopped because of the
way they look. They look like yo .....

White suburban kids do not have to live with the constant violence on the streets. White suburban kids do not have to worry about drive-by shootings. With so much violence in inner cities, one can only expect teenagers to be easily misguided. Many inner city kids are able to avoid the gang life, however, there are still the others that have succumbed to the lifestyle. With the violence, peer pressure, and the need to fit in, it is not surpris .....

Military Pay
Number of words: 680 - Number of pages: 3.... The soldier is given months of specialized training, prompted to pursue a higher education and given more responsibility than their civilian counterparts. Being a soldier means uprooting your family, moving them to a new duty station several times and spending lots of time away from your family.
The military has shrunk since 1986 due to the draw down yet, it has experienced a fourfold increase in the number of deployments. This has increased responsibility and stress on the soldier. I believe that the soldier is underpaid when compared to the private sector. .....
