- 2191: Ground Water In Ontario
- ... mines are closed however, there is no legislation covering who is responsible for these tailings. This example illustrates yet another way by which big companies have polluted groundwater, and poor government control has allowed them to get away virtually unpunished.

Small companies and individuals are equally to ... extensive test of his own well, he found the water to be tainted with the dry-cleaning fluid.

- ... bring land and buildings back into use - to improve housing conditions - to encourage private sector investment - to encourage self-help and improve social fabric, and - to improve environmental quality. The Government also set up programmes which would help these aims to be met, such as the Urban Development Corporations (e.g. LDDC London Docklands Development Corporation) and the availability of grants ... afford the travelling costs to the city for work, and also the inner city often has poor transport links. There are very few offices in the inner city. If the government built some then congestion in the CBD would decrease and business would more than likely have room for expansion.

By improving the inner city the government hoped to be able to stop the segregation of ethnic minorities due to their health, education, status and quality of life etc. They were hoping to close the gap ...
- 2193: Genetic Cloning And Nuclear Fusion
- ... distinguishing forms of cloning using safe and well-tested means.

In the 1980's and early 90's this research was banned by both the Ronald Reagan and Bush administrations due to pressure ... can be dangerous. My analysis of cloning is, it may develop more ideas than we think were ever possible, but we should be careful and take respectful means of precaution. Government oppression will be anarchisticly opposed and science will run it s course and in a few years the government will have little part in cloning and the people who worked for it will receive the credit they deserve. Cloning is the future of science and the answer many ...

- ... and more people are beginning to worry about the future. The next two years have the potential to be the most economically critical time we have ever seen.

- 2195: Disease In Africa
- ... with diseases and helped Africans. Technology is one thing that the Europeans had which gave them so much success in colonizing Africa. Technology was not only seen in weapons and government, it was also seen in medicine and prevention of disease. It is quite obvious that Europeans did not spend an efficient amount of time researching diseases in Africa, before they ... it. The largest impact that Europeans had on solving the problems of disease, was organizing efficient efforts to fix the structure of society. Europeans fixed many problems of disease through government controlled cleanups. The cleanups would take place in disease infected areas. The Europeans would make places more sanitary, by disinfecting places where people lived, separating the sick, administering drugs, boiling ... less disease. Many factors have contributed to the brutal diseases that have plagued the people of Africa. Some of these factors are still present in today's society.

- 2196: Darwinism 2
- ... defend their holding of colonial possessions. As Adolf Hitler wrote, “The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness.” For example, when a European government conquers an African nation, it is in accordance with nature because they were more fit. The stronger government should benefit from the weaker nations because it is in their best interests and they are capable of doing so. The stronger country should not restrict its capabilities out of benevolence because this would lead to a weakening of the entire global political system. When competition is restricted, motivation to advance fades away. This is why forceful acts of government are acceptable under the principles of Social Darwinism. This notion was spread to validate campaigns of governments who received criticism for being too brutal. Therefore, these governments helped place ...

- 2198: Acid Rain 9
- ... are not reduced substantially. Canada does not have many people, power plants or automobiles as the United States, and yet acid rain there has become so severe that the Canadian government officials called it the most pressing environmental issue facing the nation. But it is important to bear in mind that acid rain is only one segment, of the widespread pollution ... nitrogen oxide emissions have tripled in the last thirty years. Acid rain seems to be quite real. Acid rain also is very threatening problem to many things. If only one government decides to take action, that’s just not enough. To help and take care of this problem we must all come together and work together on this for at least a reduction in the contaminates contributing to acid rain.

- 2200: Acceptance Of Homosexual Marri
- ... eyes of society. Interracial marriage was prohibited, and unacceptable in the United States, until the Supreme Court ruled such bans unconstitutional in 1967.

Because it is the right of the homosexual legally, socially, and economically, matrimony between lesbian and gay ... distributing assets in a divorce (Dunlap 18). Ryan wants all of the things that should be entitled to him. It is unfair that only heterosexuals can benefit from this economic government support. Just because the majority of society has not felt the effects of the beneficial neglect that homosexuals have struggled with for so long, does not justify our government in not taking action in correcting this problem. Marriage is much more than the fundamental institution that completes the journey of life for many individuals. Marriage has legal and ...
