- 1262: The Failures Of Affirmative Ac
- ... racial tension was at its peak. Most of the corporate executive and managerial positions were occupied by white males, who controlled the hiring and firing of employees. The U.S. government, in 1965, believed that these employers were discriminating against minorities and believed that there was no better time than the present to bring about change. When the Civil Rights Law passed, minorities, especially African-Americans, believed that they should receive retribution for the years of discrimination they endured. The government responded by passing laws to aide them in attaining better employment as reprieve for the previous two hundred years of suffering their race endured at the hands of the white man. To many, this made sense. Supporters of affirmative action asked, ”why not let the government help them get better jobs?” After all, the white man was responsible for their suffering. While this may all be true, there is another question to be asked. Are ...

With the presence of HMO's and the control of schools, one may say that the government is playing a significant role in the increasingly difficult life of those with lower g.

- 1265: Violence in the Media
- ... this violence doesn't mean it doesn't happen. We all know it happens, we're not stupid, we watch the news, we read the newspaper. So why does the government try to censor violence? Why does the government try to censor sex? Is it because we can't handle it? No. I can handle it. I may be what most psychologists would call desensitized, but that doesn't mean I'm going to shoot up my junior high school. I could never do that. After all, the government has kept me away from guns. We simply aren't allowed to view violence and sex because... well, I can't think of a good reason. But, hey, at ...

Federalism, though not a particular ideology, is a means of sharing political power among different peoples within a state. The various systems of government which fall under the definition of federalism are not problematic to the people; unless, of course, they are not completely legitimate.

Despite the diversity of a state's population, ...

The level of spending on air pollution control in 1972 was $8 billion. By 1990 that figure has risen to $30 billion (Meiners 5). Many experts doubt that money was spent wisely by the government, and claim that the same amount of reduction in air pollution could have been attained using half of the money spent if the government was more efficient.
