children and the aged and infirm work not at all, and yet have all the comforts and necessaries of life provided for them. They enjoy liberty, because they are oppressed neither by care or labor. The women do little hard work, and are protected from the despotism of their husbands by their masters. The negro men and stout boys work, on the average, in good weather, no more than nine hours a day. The balance
of their time is spent in perfect abandon.

& Technology Information, asserts that "Although the Civil War and subsequent bills ended slavery, White Americans did not end racial discrimination toward blacks. In fact, segregation in public places in the United States as a legal system existed for more than 70 years. Due to the long-term effects of slavery, racism, and racial discrimination, African Americans as a whole in many areas were at a significant disadvantage compared to whites" (Jiang 210). While all ethnic minorities are still discriminated against in the US, blacks are more vulnerable to discrimination by all races, even though discrimination has become a part of their daily life. Thus visible that racism is an inescapable problem

I have read a lot about the cultural differences between Asia and the United States. I have talked to some of my Asian acquaintances here in Okinawa. There are quite a few cultural differences in the business worlds in Hong Kong and the States.In the states, employees have stronger feelings about and opinions of the intrinsic contracts of a business. The employees' inner images come into play with these feelings because they feel that if they have a good and strong inner image then the outer image will automatically be a good one. They feel that extrinsic contracts are not as important, but still an issue when it comes to business. Employees in the United States are not as respectful to

Immigration and Nativism in the United States
A country known to many foreigners as the “Promised Land” became the attraction of many immigrants who were searching for job opportunites, economic advancement and freedom from religious persecution. Many such as the white, western European settlers, Asian, Japanese and Italians all left their homelands in search of better lives for themselves and their families. A country rumored to be the ideal place to start a new life, soon morphed into a multicultural nation as many immigrants from countries across the globe poured in. However

capital crime. A capital crime is defined as the crime that is so atrocious that the offender be sentenced to their death. This may be done as an act of retribution, to ensure that the individual cannot commit any future crimes, and/or as a deterrent for other potential criminals. This practice has been extremely controversial and is heavily debated upon around the world. Supporters of the death penalty argue that a serious crime deserves an equally serious punishment—such as death, while opponents argue that capital punishment is revenge rather than punishment. Most nations have abolished the death penalty in law or practice, however, the United States is one of few industrialized countries

Civil Liberties
From the beginning, the United States Constitution has guaranteed the American people civil liberties. These liberties have given citizens’ rights to speak, believe, and act freely. The Constitution grants citizens the courage to express their mind about something they believe is immoral or unjust. Through civil liberties we are able see evidence of structural and procedural balance of power. In this essay I will discuss the importance of these terms and how they shaped the Bill of Rights.
Civil liberties are basic freedoms granted to individuals in the Bill of Rights. Individual freedom can survive only under a system of law by

sentence. Parole is only eligible to prisoners who have significantly observed and obeyed the rules of the prison. The release does not reduce the seriousness of the offense or promote disrespect for the law. Also, the release of a prisoner would not be believed to jeopardize public wellbeing, or the person would not be released from prison early.
The number of people on parole and probation across the United States has tripled to 5.1 million between 1982 and 2007. According to Pew Center on the states report, which says financially struggling states can save money in the long run by investing in better supervision of these offenders.

Prevention of Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity is not only an issue in the United States, it is an outbreak. The number of overweight and obese children in America has increased wat too much over the past years, and if there is no action taken it will just keep going downhill. A trend of fast food has flooded every state in the country, leaving every state in a poor nutrition state. Fast food corporations seem to be encouraging children to eat regular amounts of unhealthy foods by giving away toys with the meals. Televisions, computers, and video games, have started to take over, leaving exercise out. These influences can lead to

The first foreign policy of the United States was neutrality. Just overcoming the English and getting liberty, the US faced the difficult undertaking of forming a new country. In an attempt to protect themselves from taking part in the quarrels of the Europeans and focusing on domestic affairs, a path of neutrality was followed. The roots of this first strategy can be seen as early as the administration of George Washington.Soon after Washington's inauguration in 1789, the French Revolution began. As the revolution deepened and became bloodier, the English wanted to utilize the weakness of the French government. While disagreement between the French and English greatened, America was

The True Problem with Immigration in Today’s United States
When you think of immigration and the problems that are arising now due to it, which side of the sword do you stand at? In today’s United States, it seems that every day there’s a new problem arising with the topic of immigration, to be exact, illegal immigration. You’ll hear of a murder or an arrest for all sorts of crimes occurring at the hands of these illegal immigrants, and the news paints a gruesome picture of them, turning a country that was founded as a country of immigrants, against each other.

Is Communism the Solution to Poverty in the United States?
When the average American thinks of poverty, we think of someone in a below-average earning household. My thoughts immediately go to children I went to school with. Many students came from uneducated families (less than high school diploma) who weren’t sure if they’d have dinner that night or when their next meal would be. Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic necessities including food, clothing, healthcare, and shelter. However, poverty is much more than just not having enough money. According to The World Bank Organization, poverty can be described as…

President Wilson publicly and formally stated that the United States would adhere to a policy of neutrality., However, in three short years, the United States would find itself involved in the conflict which would later became known as the first World War.As war raged in Europe, America sympathies undoubtedly sided with the Allies. American propaganda encouraged citizens to buy war bonds and support the Allies. The Kaiser and Germans were portrayed as the aggressors in the war.

The institution of slavery grew to be a primary element in the economy of the southern colonies. Slavery's rapid growth was ignited by several important economic, geographic, and social factors. In the eyes of an early southern settler, each factor helped justify the use of slavery.The settlers of the southern colonies depended on their plantations for their wealth and prosperity, thus making plantations an integral part of the early southern economy. The most prominent of southern settlers were plantation owners. Settlers discovered the economic success associated with slavery in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies and did not hesitate to incorporate the institution into their plantations

against the common good: healthcare. Our current structure for this crucial aspect of civilization is stuck in the past – we allow companies to profit billions, even trillions, of dollars while men, women, and children go without the care they so desperately need to survive. With respect to this facet of society, “greed has poisoned men’s souls… machinery that gives abundance has left us in want,” and more than machinery, we need humanity in the structure of our health system.[footnoteRef:1] A 2009 Harvard Medical School study revealed that 45,000 deaths yearly in the United States are directly linked to a lack of healthcare; uninsured working-age Americans have a 40% higher chance of death than
