Roe v. Wade was a 1971 - 1973 landmark decision by the US Supreme Court. The court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional. The ruling made abortion legal in many circumstances. The decision said that a woman's right to privacy extended to the fetus / unborn child she was carrying. In the view of the court, during the first trimester an abortion was no more dangerous than carrying the fetus/child full term. The decision was 7-2, with Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and six other Justices voting for " Jane Roe ", and Justices William Rehnquist and Byron White voting against it. The decision divided the nation and is still controversial today. People divided into pro-life and pro-choice groups.

Content: In 1970 a pregnant Texas woman, Norma McCorvey ( alias Jane Roe), brought a lawsuit against Henry Wade, Dallas County District Attorney, in a Texas federal court. Alleging she was a single woman and pregnant, McCorvey wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She wanted it done safely by a doctor but said she could not afford to travel outside of Texas. She could not get a legal abortion in Texas because her life was not in danger. Her lawsuit claimed that the Texas law violated her right to privacy, protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Roe added she sued "on behalf of herself and all other women" in the same situation. The case slowly made its way to the US Supreme Court. Meanwhile, McCorvey had her baby and placed it for adoption. The majority decision
In a 7-2 decision, the court held that a woman's right to an abortion was protected by her right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision allowed a woman to decide whether to keep or abort the fetus/unborn child during the first trimester.

In a 7-2 decision, the court held that a woman's right to an abortion was protected by her right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision allowed a woman to decide whether to keep or abort the fetus/unborn child during the first trimester. This affected the laws of 46 states. Justice Harry Blackmun wrote the majority opinion. “ We … acknowledge our awareness of the sensitive and emotional nature of the abortion controversy, of the vigorous opposing views, even among physicians, and of the deep and seemingly absolute convictions that the subject inspires.” — Justice Blackmun (1973). Dissenting opinion
The dissenting opinion was written by Justice William Rehnquist.

Dissenting opinion
The dissenting opinion was written by Justice William Rehnquist. He objected to the majority decision giving several reasons. He first pointed out there was no legitimate plaintiff in the case and that was a requirement to hear the case. A legitimate plaintiff would be a woman in her first trimester of her pregnancy at some point while the case was being tried. McCorvey (Jane Roe) did not fit that qualification and so the ruling had no application to the case. The court recognized a woman's right to abortion under the general "right to privacy from previous cases.

Same-sex marriage is recognized in all of the United States. As of May 2014, same-sex marriage was legal in 19 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. It was also legal in Washington, D.C.. On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all states, because of the 14th Amendment. The movement to give marriage rights and benefits to homosexual couples in the United States began in the 1970s. It grew in United States politics around 1993 when the Supreme Court of Hawaii declared the prohibition in that state to be unconstitutional. It was not until around the 21st century that public support for same-sex marriage began growing.

Sulfonamide functional group
Structural similarity between sulfonamide (left) and PABA (center) is the basis for the inhibitory activity of sulfa drugs on dihydrofolate (right) biosynthesis
A Sulfonamide (or sulphonamide) is a kind of drug. It is a man-made antibiotic. Their ability to kill infectious bacteria is their main function, but some types have other medical uses. For example, sulfasalazine, in addition to its use as an antibiotic, is also used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Sulfonamides (sometimes called sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) contain the sulfonamide chemical group. The best known of the antibiotic sulfonamide drugs is called Sulfanilimide . Contents

How they work
In bacteria, antibacterial sulfonamides inhibit the enzyme DHPS. The enzyme makes folic acid, a B vitamin. The microorganism is "starved" of folate and dies. Humans, unlike bacteria, get folate (vitamin B 9) through their diet.

Content: They are credited with saving the lives of tens of thousands of patients, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. (son of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) (in 1936) and Winston Churchill. Sulfa had a central role in preventing wound infections during the war. American soldiers were issued a first-aid kit containing sulfa pills and powder, and were told to sprinkle the powder on any open wound. Many thousands of molecules containing the sulfanilamide structure have been created since its discovery (by one account, over 5,400 permutations by 1945). They have greater effectiveness and less toxicity. Sulfa drugs are still widely used for conditions such as acne and urinary tract infections. They are back in favour for use on infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. How they are made
Sulfonamides are prepared by the reaction of a sulfonyl chloride with ammonia or an amine . References

Germany had to give back Alsace-Lorraine. France was still embarrassed that Germany had been taken during the Franco-Prussian War. The French also made Germany take its troops out of the Rhineland, the long stretch of land on Germany's border with France with the Rhine River, which was important since Germany had many factories and businesses there. If German troops returned the Rhineland, the treaty allowed the French were to invade Germany. Germany also had to give parts to Poland, a country made out of Russian and Austrian parts and the Polish and Lithuanian people who lived in them. Poland had been a big kingdom a few hundred years earlier, but Austria, Prussia and Russia, during the Partitions of Poland, taken parts of the kingdom and ended its existence.

Content: In the 10th and 9th centuries BC, Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchs. By the 7th century BC, they were ruled by groups of aristocrats. These aristocrats started to become unpopular. This gave cruel people the chance to get power for themselves, telling the people that they would be good rulers, but turning bad once they got power. Around 650 BC the tyrant Cypselus became powerful in Corinth. There were other tyrants in the Asiatic countries that were ruled by Greece. Cypselus’s son Periander was also a cruel tyrant who ruled for 40 years. The tyranny in Corinth came to an end after he died.

A woodwind instrument is an instrument belonging to the woodwind family. Traditionally they were always made of wood, although some of them are now made of metal or plastic . In an orchestra there are four main types of woodwind instrument. Each of these also has related instruments of different sizes: The piccolo is the highest of the four main instruments. The lowest note is Middle C and it has a range of 3 octaves. The piccolo is the smallest and highest instrument in the orchestra. It plays one octave higher than the flute. There is also an alto flute which sounds a fifth lower than the ordinary flute. Flutes are still sometimes made of wood, but mostly they are metal.

Content: The oboe can play slightly lower than the flute. There is a larger version called the cor anglais (which means: “ English horn”). This is a double reeded instrument. The clarinet plays nearly an octave lower than the flute. The bass clarinet plays an octave lower than the clarinet. The bassoon is the lowest of the four. The recorder is one of the oldest and most popular woodwinds and has been used to great effect by greats, such as Bach, Telemann and Vivaldi. The general public is normally only familiar with the plastic, child's version of the recorder, but professional and high-quality recorders are still made of wood. The saxophone may look like a brass instrument, but it is played like a clarinet and therefore it is a woodwind instrument.

The clarinet and saxophone have single reeds which are clamped against the opening of the mouthpiece. In comparison, brass instruments are all blown in the same way: by blowing against a cup-shaped mouthpiece.

Content: This is why the saxophone cannot be called a brass instrument, although it is made of brass. The way that a player shapes his mouth to blow an instrument is called the “embouchure”. Woodwind instruments have several different embouchures. In an orchestra there may be two each of flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons. In larger orchestras, particularly from the Romantic period onwards, there may be three or four. Sometimes the extra instruments such as the piccolo are used. If, for example, in an orchestral piece the third flute is marked “ doubling piccolo”, it means that the person playing flute 3 will also play the piccolo. However, if the piccolo plays at the same time as flute 3 they will obviously need an extra player for the piccolo part. Woodwind instruments in an orchestra often have short solos. These will be played by the first player (the “section principal”).

The Sacramental Nature of the Church
Lucas Goetz
A sacrament is a sign of grace that Christ gave to us. The word sacrament comes from the Latin word “sacramentum,” meaning “a sign of the sacred.” They are God’s channels for supplying His grace to us human beings. They are very important to the life of the Church. The Catholic Church recognizes seven sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick. The more you learn about the sacraments, the more fully you can celebrate them and the more graces you get from them. Chapter 1
Definition of Sacrament
Although we don’t always think of it, there are many, many Catholics outside of us here in the United States. We are part of the Western Roman Catholic Church.

Although we don’t always think of it, there are many, many Catholics outside of us here in the United States. We are part of the Western Roman Catholic Church. There is also the Eastern Catholic Church, who is under the authority of the Pope in Rome, just like us. The Eastern Catholic Church does a lot of things similar to us, but there are some differences. For example: they call sacraments, “mysteries”. They do have a point by calling them this because the sacraments are mysterious.

Why fly so high?
Why don’t aircraft fly higher?
Some aircraft can fly higher
Justin Hayward
Content: For optimal operation, most aircraft will be guided to fly slightly lower than this, typically around 35,000 feet. Why fly so high? There are several reasons why airlines would want to fly their planes at such altitudes. The primary purpose of such operations is to optimize efficiency. At higher altitudes, the air is thinner. This produces less resistance, allowing the aircraft to fly faster using less fuel. Jet engines also operate more efficiently at a higher altitude, as they can be run closer to their maximum capabilities. Flying at higher altitudes can help increase an aircraft’s efficiency.

The exact height chosen for a given flight will also depend on wind conditions.

What is Minimalism? Plus 8 Things it’s NOT
What is Minimalism?
Finding your own version of a minimalist lifestyle
What Minimalism Isn’t
8 common misconceptions about minimalism:
1. Minimalism is about getting rid of everything you own
2. Minimalism is so restrictive it makes life harder
3. Minimalism and being frugal are the same things
4. You can’t have collections or hobbies if you are a minimalist
5. Minimalism means stark, all-white rooms that look cold and uninviting
6. You have to follow a certain set of rules or standards to be a true minimalist
7. You can’t be a minimalist if you have kids. Minimalism only works for young, single people
8. Minimalism only applies to your stuff
Minimalism is a tool, not the end goal
This post was originally published in February 2017. Updated August 2019.
Content: At its core, minimalism is being intentional with the way you live your life. Only allowing what aligns with your most important values to take up your space and your time. Finding your own version of a minimalist lifestyle
Using this definition, minimalism will look different for everyone. If you ask 100 different people to show you what is minimalism using this definition, you will end up with 100 different pictures of minimalism. What we each value is personal and unique to us. That’s one of the things I love about minimalism, you can create whatever version of minimalism works for you. The only key is that you decide what is most important to you, and then remove anything that doesn’t line up with and support those values. What Minimalism Isn’t
There is no one single answer to the question “what is minimalism?” The concept of minimalism is very open to interpretation. Rather than trying to include everything that minimalism IS, it is more helpful to figure out what minimalism is NOT.

Ideas that make minimalism seem hard to relate to it, undesirable or out of reach for the average person. By addressing these common misconceptions, I hope to show you that minimalism is attainable for and can benefit anyone. 8 common misconceptions about minimalism: 1.

This post was originally published in February 2017. Updated August 2019.
Content: Keeping only the supplies you will actually use, rather than stockpiling supplies that are never used. Minimalism is not about depriving yourself of the things you love. That is exactly the opposite of what minimalism really is. The whole point of minimalism is to remove all the excess so you can truly value, see and use the things you love. You get rid of the things you don’t use or love in order to make more room for what you do. 5. Minimalism means stark, all-white rooms that look cold and uninviting
While there is a minimalist design aesthetic, often characterized by all-white rooms with little furniture or décor, that doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY way minimalism can look. In fact, minimalism as a lifestyle doesn’t have to look a certain way at all. A minimalist room can also be colorful with books, candles, throw blankets, pillows, etc. Minimalism is when the only things you keep in your space are those that you use often and/or love.

How to Potty Train a Child with ADHD | What You Need to Know
When should you start potty training an ADHD child?
Before potty training, keep a ledger
Like any job, potty training requires the right tools
Start by getting the child used to sitting on the potty
Be prepared for accidents – They are going to happen
When your child is too distracted or too hyper-focused to go potty
Reward your child for potty success
Be sure to teach proper hygiene
Graduate from diapers, to pull-ups to underwear
MORE ADHD ARTICLES THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST
Content: So, keep note of what kind of things they like to do that will keep them sitting in one place for a few minutes that they can also do while sitting on the potty. In the beginning take them to the potty about 15 or 20 minutes after they have eaten, and maybe at 90 minutes to 2 hours intervals through the day. If you have kept a ledger of their potty habits use that to determine how long you should go before taking them to the potty. Be prepared for accidents – They are going to happen
Be sure to communicate to your child what the potty is for and what you are expecting of them. But just be aware that in the beginning going potty is going to be somewhat hit-and-miss. Accidents are going to happen. Be prepared for them. When an accident happens, do not make a big fuss over it. Instead, express your confidence that they will do better next time. Try to build up their confidence.

Content: 3. Make Your Virtual Classroom Interactive with Different Types of Online Educational Tools
Most online educational tools for students provide the collaborative tools necessary to make classes interactive. You should consider including presentations, demonstrations, and other interactive activities into your lesson plans. For professional development courses, this is particularly useful, allowing participants to demonstrate to you that they’ve learned new skills. The same is true for high school students. Traditional classrooms are engaging places with lots going on: group work, individual learning, as well as teaching. The virtual learning experience should–in so far as possible–try to be the same. To achieve this, the best online teachers mix up their teaching techniques to boost student engagement. From mind mapping to role playing, several classic teaching methods can make the lesson more lively and interactive.

Content: Use this goal as the basis of your lesson plan. Then start creating the structure of your lesson from there. These plans will also make it easier to track your students’ progress. 8. Make Use of Multimedia for Online Learning or Student Work
One of the main advantages of virtual teaching is the option to easily use various types of web content: text, images, diagrams, audio, and video. This can significantly improve the learning process, but it also has to be flexible and tailored to different learning styles, preferences, and needs of students. If done correctly, multimedia can retain the attention and interest of learners. This is particularly critical when teaching today’s video-oriented generation. This VEDAMO checklist for web-content accessibility is an excellent resource.

Content: For example, redesigning a shelve to solve a problem of clutter in a classroom. Postmodernism
Constructionism and its rejection of objective reality is a defining characteristic of postmodernism. This is a broad academic trend that has had great influence over the social sciences since the 1960s. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are less influenced by postmodernism because objective reality is important to these fields. For example, if you're designing an aircraft it is important to calculate the objectively correct answer to how much thrust is required in a particular scenario such that the constructionist idea that there are "no correct answers" is useless or dangerous. Notes
While many schools are purely based on constructivism, in practice it is possible to balance this with other methods. For example, constructionism may not be useful for mathematics where convergent thinking is important but may be useful for computer science where real world problems are often open-ended.

8 Examples of Anecdotal Evidence
John Spacey, April 25, 2018 updated on June 30, 2020
Anecdotal evidence is a body of information based on accounts and narrative. The term suggests weak evidence based on examples and personal accounts as opposed to information that is statistically significant. Anecdotal evidence is dangerous because it is easy to mislead yourself or others with it. This doesn't mean it has no value as storytelling and word of mouth information can be useful in many contexts. The following are illustrative examples of anecdotal evidence. Storytelling
A successful individual tells a story about the failures they faced on their path. Although the information is anecdotal, the audience finds it interesting and instructive. Word of Mouth
Coworkers talk about a new restaurant near the office and one says they tried it and that the food was mediocre and the staff were rude. The coworkers don't trust this opinion because this particular individual is often complaining about restaurants in an unreasonable way. Politics
A politician tells a story about a specific person who lost their job due to the policies of a political rival.

What is Cold Logic? John Spacey, October 06, 2016
Cold logic is a term for logic that fails to consider human factors such as culture, language, social dynamics, personality and emotion. It is certainly possible for logic to consider human factors. However, human factors are extremely complex. As a result, it is common for logic embedded in processes, rules, practices, validations and algorithms to ignore human factors. This produces suboptimal results that fail to account for social, legal and business realities that are driven by human needs and judgment. Overview: Cold Logic

Content: Rights & Freedoms
A nation that grants rights and freedoms to people may allow culture to flourish whereas oppression may subvert culture. For example, freedom of speech whereby people aren't penalized for voicing unpopular ideas allows for brave literature and art. Law
Laws and regulations have broad cultural impacts. For example, laws requiring businesses to close at a particular hour that restrict the night economy of a city. Design
Design impacts culture. For example, the urban design of cities influences how communities interact such as a city full of parks, public space and cafe terraces that develops a lively feel. Infrastructure
Hard infrastructure such as public sidewalks and soft infrastructure such as hospitals. For example, the construction of roads for automobiles beginning in the early 20th century that transformed cities into concrete jungles with vast suburbs. Health
Health can have a significant impact on culture. For example, the theory known as the lead–crime hypothesis that links declining crime rates in multiple countries to the phase-out of lead in gasoline and other products.

18 Characteristics of Postmodernism
posted by John Spacey, August 06, 2019
Postmodernism is a rejection of the very idea of objectivity and universal truisms in favor of subjective experience and flexible realities. This is a broad movement in social sciences, art and architecture that is still emerging such that it is notoriously difficult to define. Practically any venturesome liberal idea that has emerged since 1970 has been labeled as postmodern such that it lacks consistency and cohesion as a school of thought. The following are broad characteristics that can be ascribed to postmodernism. Relativism
Rejection of the very idea that universal truths exist. Rejection of Objectivity
A rejection of the existence of objectivity and sense that historical and current truisms are simply imposed by oppressive power structures. Facts may be viewed as tools of oppression invented by the system or simply as meaningless and flexible trivia. Complexity
A rejection of the minimalism that characterized modern art and architecture. Abstraction
Embrace of jargon and complex theories that are heavily abstracted with many conceptual layers such that they are almost impossible to communicate in plain language. Power Structures
Postmodern theory tends to view history, society, culture and language as imposed by oppressive power structures.

5 Types of Product Demand
John Spacey, July 20, 2017
Product demand is customer willingness to purchase a product or service at a given price. Demand is a basic economic force that drives a firm's revenue. The following are the basic types of product demand. Unsought Product
A product with little or no demand because it doesn't serve a customer need or customers don't understand it. Unsought products also include things that are depressing to buy. Commodity Demand
Demand for a commodity such as apples. Individual producers don't influence demand as consumers see commodity products as all the same. Market Fit
A product that uniquely serves the needs and preferences of a target market. For example, a movie that is entertaining with good reviews and many fans. Latent Demand
A customer need or preference that isn't served by any products or services in the market.

11 Examples of Zoning
John Spacey, April 03, 2017
Zoning is the regulation of land use by area. It is a primary tool of urban planning that is based on national law, regional regulations or local ordinances. The following are common examples of zoning. Use
Zoning often regulates activities such as residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial use of land. This tends to raise the value of property as people don't want to live beside a site that is unattractive, noisy or generating pollution. Single-use
Historically, North American cities tend to have large single-use zones. This is often criticized as negatively impacting quality of life due to factors such as long commutes and large areas with little sense of community. Mixed-use
Mixed-use zoning can be used to simulate reasonably dense neighborhoods where people can walk to shopping, work, school, medical appointments, restaurants, green space and other useful features. Night Economy
Many zoning laws exclude things like bars, night clubs, performance venues and karaoke. In some cases, mixed-use zoning embraces these features of the night economy as part of a strategy of fostering lively neighborhoods.

How Does Recycling Help to Reduce Pollution
Who are the biggest polluters?
How does recycling help?
Content: Burning charcoal and wood to generate heat also results in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and dust particle emissions. This is a great problem in low-income countries, where most of the energy generated for heating is acquired by burning coal. 3. Agriculture is also a significant contributor when it comes to pollution. Both crop cultivation and livestock contribute to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The use of pesticides and fertilizers is considered a must in almost every plant production, bigger or smaller. If not used properly, which happens more often than it should, these chemicals can contaminate soils, underground waters and kill certain beneficial species, thus disrupting and impoverishing entire ecosystems. Raising cattle for food emits 14,5% of all greenhouse gas emissions, significantly contributing to increasing methane levels in the atmosphere. 4. Last, but not least, we ourselves are also contributing to both local and global pollution with improper waste management and overuse of plastic.

How is civic engagement measured?
What civic engagement tools can I use?
What’s the best way to get started with civic engagement?
Content: Improved relationships – Engaged community members develop stronger connections with one another
Increased social cohesion – Community members develop a sense of trust, belonging and reciprocity
Improved community – Engaged people actively work to improve their community and care for it through volunteering, education and other activities
Better education – Engaged citizens are more likely to read and discuss the news and share information with others
Greater understanding – The right civic engagement opportunities can help keep the community informed about local events and opportunities
Growth and development – Civic engagement can mean investing in community members with skills, information and motivation to contribute and make a difference
Individual responsibility – It encourages individuals to see themselves as part of a wider community and feel responsible for contributing to and improving that community for the benefit of all
Better quality of life – Community members can address their concerns and influence decisions to improve the quality of life for the community as a whole
Better government – Civic engagement is essential for a functioning democratic government
On that last point – in order for democracy to succeed, it needs public participation. Civic engagement helps citizens to become aware of their community’s needs and how problems could be solved. This motivates them to become more involved in politics through voting, sharing their opinions and encouraging political actions that support their values. Examples of civic engagement
Civic engagement is primarily focused on political and community related activities. Here are a few examples you might find in your local community…
Community groups and projects
Clean-up programs like Clean Up Australia Day
Food pantries like Foodbank
Neighbourhood groups
Encouraging civic engagement through these groups might look like more sign ups, more people volunteering or more donations. Or members might represent their interests at council or community meetings. Education groups
School boards
College or university groups
College unions
Again, civic engagement in these instances might look like more memberships and more time spent volunteering. Or a community member may write to these groups to encourage action on or attention to a particular issue. Advocacy groups
Disability rights groups
Homelessness advocacy services
Animal rights groups and/or animal shelters
Homeowners’ rights groups
Participation in these groups might include sharing their content and spreading their message online or offline. It might involve volunteering time and skills, writing to the media or local politician about current issues, or donating funds.

Virtual and augmented reality are revolutionizing the learning experience. They allow students to take journeys into ancient history, travel across the universe, and visit museums in different countries, all without leaving the classroom. One of the biggest feats of such technologies is that they make the learning experience more engaging, awe-inspiring and transformative. They allow us to shift mindsets and send powerful messages through immersive experiences. For instance, the Google Expeditions Pioneer Program will allow teachers to take their students on a journey anywhere in the world. Whether it’s “exploring coral reefs or the surface of Mars in an afternoon,” teachers can take students on immersive virtual field trips. Could this be the beginning of an entirely virtual school? These immersive experiences have the potential to contribute to faster learning, better retention, and improved decision-making. It is important to note the curricula integrated with the technology are just as important as the technology itself. There is no point digitizing already flawed curricula.

The World Bank and UNICEF are now providing Bangladesh financial support to develop alternative drinking water supplies from sources such as stored rainwater or treated pond water. Source: Harvard Arsenic Project
In recent years, exposure to arsenic in drinking water has also been identified as a health concern in regions of the United States where bedrock contains unusually high levels of arsenic, such as areas of New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan and regions in the Southwest and Rockies. Scientific advances including new techniques for accurately measuring small amounts of arsenic in rock and in water are now enabling scientists to detect the presence of arsenic with accuracy and to assess the long-term effects of relatively low levels of arsenic on ecosystems and human health. Who is at Risk of Harm from Arsenic Poisoning? Tobacco itself contained high levels of arsenic until recently, due to the extensive use of arsenic-based pesticides in tobacco farming. In the past, people exposed to arsenic in the workplace were at greatest risk of arsenic poisoning. People involved in the mining, processing or smelting of arsenic ores and people involved in the manufacture or use of arsenic-containing pesticides often inhaled arsenic on the job. Their risk of developing lung cancer was high, and even higher if they also smoked cigarettes.

Content: Brady, 2016) The extreme rise in banned and challenged books led to the American Library Association to respond with the creation of Banned Books Week in 1982. When Banned Books Week was first implemented, it consisted of libraries and book stores displaying books which had been banned. The purpose of doing so was that people who passed by would see what books were banned. “ Those displays were enormously effective communication tools,” says Finan, “because people would wander over and find out that the books they love had been challenged. Suddenly they understood that censorship isn’t just about fringe literature.” ( Brady, 2016)
As of 2017, Banned Books Week has sponsors and events such as city-wide scavenger hunts in order to get the public motivated and involved with learning about banned books and becoming aware of how hard it is to find some of them. Keeping the public informed on books which are in the process of being banned, or which have been banned, allows them to understand that literature which is made to broaden the mind is at risk of being taken away. In an interview given on the condition of anonymity, an employee of a local bookstore noted, “we do it every year because we know it’s important…we make sure it goes front and center.” ( Quail Ridge Books, 2017)
Although fewer books are being banned each year, many are still being challenged at the state and local levels. “ Between 1990 and 2000, there were 6,364 challenges reported to or recorded by the Office for Intellectual Freedom.” (

Another twenty-four percent were to material in public libraries. Sixty percent of the challenges were brought by parents, fifteen percent by patrons, and nine percent by administrators.” (

Content: Schools and Censorship: Banned Books, 2008) Libraries are institutions which are most often found to have books being challenged. “ When filling their shelves, librarians do not judge the content of books on whether it would be suitable for all audiences. As public institutions, libraries may not discriminate on disseminating information on the basis of age, sex or race, which means that people can check out whatever materials they choose.” ( Conger, 2008) Libraries usually have boards which approve or disapprove of the addition of new titles, yet many books fall through the cracks. Today, roughly 250-350 books are challenged each year. ( Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books List, n.d.) The following infographic displays reasons books were challenged in 2013, confirming the fact that some of the most common reasons include ‘sexually explicit’ and ‘offensive language’. ( Crum, 2014)
Among the states which ban books the most are Texas, Oregon, North Carolina and Connecticut. ( Crum, 2014) As previously stated, parents and librarians are those who are most often found to ban books.

( Crum, 2014) As previously stated, parents and librarians are those who are most often found to ban books. In an excerpt of an interview from Scott DiMarco, a librarian and library director, we learn why banning books can sometimes be used to prove a point. “ By using a familiar and well-liked local author [Dennis Miller], the sharp point of what harm censorship can really do to a community could be driven home in a way that it never could with the standard list that we all hang up every year.” ( DiMarco, 2013) DiMarco banned a book in order to make his community aware of the effects of having free speech taken away. “ In conclusion, a typical set of programs on the topic of censorship were met by our campus community with general apathy and pleasant indifference. Our unorthodox (okay, heretical) experiment was very successful in highlighting how a simple bureaucratic decision can curb our freedom to read.” (

Industrialization refers to the development of machine production of goods and new energy resources. Industrialization had many positive and negative effects on the citizens of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Positive Effects
Industrialization had many positive effects on society in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The creation of power machines and factories provided many new job opportunities. The new machinery increased production speed of good and gave people the ability to transport raw materials. Industrialization also lead to urbanization. Urbanization is the movement of people into cities and city building. Citizens wanted to live closer to the factories that they worked at. The Western World went from rural and agricultural to urban industrial. Industrialization in Europe is known for rapid development of manufacturing and trade.

Despite its many positive effects, industrialization had a negative impact on Europe too. Urban areas doubled, tripled, or quadrupled in size which led to over crowding in cities. Sometimes a large population is a good thing, but in this case the population was too big and caused many health problems. Living conditions were dirty and unhealthy. Cities were unsanitary and diseases filled the streets. There were no sanitation codes in cities. Many citizens got very sick. This picture is an example of what the streets and city looked like. Work in Factories: Factory work was dirty and dangerous.

C. Overland Trade and the Plague
1. The Mongol conquests opened overland trade routes and brought about an unprecedented commercial integration of Eurasia. The growth of long-distance trade under the Mongols led to significant transfer of military and scientific knowledge among Europe, the Middle East, China, Iran, and Japan. 2. Diseases including the bubonic plague also spread over the trade routes of the Mongol Empire. The plague that had lingered in Yunnan (now southwest China) was transferred to central and north China, to Central Asia, to Kaffa, and from there to the Mediterranean world. II.

Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration
Content: By 1890, there were 58 cities that size with nearly 12 million people. Most were in the Northeast and near the Great Lakes. The vast majority of cities grew with only minimal, if any planning. Most choices about land use and construction were made by individual landowners, developers, and builders who wanted to make large profits. Thus, everyone buildt the most working and li\ving space for the least cost - leaving little room for pleasant or open space. Consequences of Rapid Urbanization
On the positive side, urbanization brought new jobs, new opportunities, new housing, and new transportation; but on the negative side, urbanization gave rise to widespread urban poverty, sub-standard housing, environmental degradation, increasing crime and violence, violent clashes between labor and management, and political corruption. Housing problems… Urbanization in the late 1800s was especially bad in New York City. Crime: crimes against persons, crimes against property, crimes agains societal morality
Environmental degradation
Political corruption, patronage, and the "well-greased" political machine
The Democratic Party bribed the state legislature to pass laws that increased the power of the city to tax, borrow, and spend.

Housing problems… Urbanization in the late 1800s was especially bad in New York City. Crime: crimes against persons, crimes against property, crimes agains societal morality
Environmental degradation
Political corruption, patronage, and the "well-greased" political machine
The Democratic Party bribed the state legislature to pass laws that increased the power of the city to tax, borrow, and spend. Then a leader built public support by spending tax funds on various charities, helping the poor, and funding construction projects. The poor and those receiving jobs and construction contracts, in turn, were expected to vote for the politicians. When helping construction businesses, city governors expected kick backs from the already inflated construction budgets, as well as votes. It all worked like a well-greased machine. When a machine amassed great power - as it did in New York City, it would often have a well-known boss.

In a region to the north, King Leopold II of Belgium commissioned explorer Henry Morgan Stanley, of whom the British had denied support, to "explore the Congo (Zaire) in the hope of riches," (Rowell 6). Eventually, Leopold "carved out a personal colony and filled it with lucrative rubber plantations run by forced labor," (B&Z 740). Nationalism
European superiority not only translated as the notion of being greater than Africans, but also as the desire to promote patriotism within individual imperial powers: for example, Italy sought out colonies because "They were something to show your neighbor," (Rowell 6). In the words of historian Giuliano Procacci, King Umberto I desired
"...to convince the Italians that Italy too was a great power, and so to surround with a halo of prestige a state that would otherwise have had little" (6). Kaiser Wilhelm II viewed Germany as the greatest nation, sharing his views in "A Place in the Sun:" http://www.fordham.edu/Halsall/mod/1901Kaiser.asp
The Scramble was in part prompted by the fact that Europeans were propelled into taking subject lands to prove that their own nationality was superior to others, and thus Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and others attempted to acquire the largest, most profitable section of Africa to simply out-conquest other governing bodies and glorify their own nation. Religion
Religion, too, shaped the course of events that took place in 19th century Africa, as Christian missionaries ventured to "The Dark Continent" to share their beliefs with unenlightened individuals. The best known missionary was David Livingstone, who spread the Christian message throughout Central Africa. Historian R.R. Palmer wrote that "He gave himself to humanitarian and religious work, with a little occasional trading and much travel and exploration, but without political or true economic aims."

Light Intensity and Rate of Photosynthesis (Carol Cao)
Research Question and Hypothesis
Does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea plants? Hypothesis: Yes, light intensity does affect the rate of photosynthesis. Too much light may cause plants to "burn out" while too little light will not provide enough light for optimal photosynthesis activity. Standards
Biology Standards
Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide. Experimental Design
This experiment will look at the affect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis on Elodea plants. The rate of photosynthesis is determined by the number of bubbles formed by the Elodea plants. The
oxygen bubbles are a product of photosynthesis. Plants have shown to produce more bubbles when
placed closer to a light source than further away. The efficiency of photosynthesis can be measured
by the amount of oxygen bubbles formed during a given amount of time.

Content: These new policies expanded the use of imprisonment as punishment for all felony charges, eventually becoming widely used for sex and drug offenses. Additionally, more policies were adopted with the goal of increasing the likelihood and longevity of imprisonment. The implementation and strict enforcement of harsh drug laws is viewed as one of the main reasons for the large racial disparities that are seen in prisons today. According to scholars, black people are four times as likely as white people to be arrested for drug offenses and 2.5 times as likely to be arrested for drug possessions despite the fact that white people and black people use drugs at the same rate. The creation of policies like “Stop-and-frisk” allowed for police officers to stop and question anyone who they deemed suspicious. Because racial disparities begin at the initial encounter people of color have with police their race is more likely to impact the outcome of the interaction. Evidence shows that initial police stops are unlikely to result in incarceration, however the prevalence of prior convictions increases chances of future incarceration, something that disproportionately impacts people of color. Implicit bias impacts the perceptions the public can have on people of color. Multiple pieces of evidence point to the fact that beliefs about the dangerousness and threats to public safety are related to these perceptions. Scholars have found that people of color receive harsher punishments than their white counterparts because they are perceived as being more violent and imposing a greater threat to public safety.

Discussion Questions
Content: Disparities that occur during imprisonment are the result of social factors including things related to poverty, employment, housing and family issues that may impact what happens to them during their very first encounter with law enforcement. Scholars have found that African Americans make up the majority of people living in poverty where a large amount of socio-economic vulnerabilities can cause higher crime rates, thus exposing them to disparities in the criminal justice system that may negatively impact them. People of color in America are disadvantaged from the very beginning. America makes up 5 percent of the world’s population; however, we house 25 percent of the world’s inmate population as a whole causing us to have the largest incarceration rate in the world. Out of the total 6.8 million incarcerated population, 2.3 million are black. According to a report by Dr. Ashley Nellis, African Americans are incarcerated in state prisons across the country at more than five times the rate of whites, and at least ten times the rate in five states. Because of this, mass incarceration has become a method of disenfranchising Black voters, shrinking the electorate, and engineering voter suppression. Additionally, Black Americans are incarcerated for drug-related offenses at a rate 10 times higher than that of white Americans although drug usage among the races is roughly the same. The high rate of incarceration among black people has major impacts on their mental and physical health and overall quality of life.

Racial Stereotypes in Film/TV written by Omar, Adeline, Alyssa, Jon, and Alex
The United States is now more diverse than it ever has been, but from watching Hollywood films and television programs it’s easy to overlook that development. That’s because characters of color remain underrepresented in mainstream movies and TV shows. In addition, many actors of color are asked to play stereotypical roles—from maids and immigrants to thugs and prostitutes in Hollywood. This lecture breaks down how African American, Irish, Hispanics, Italian, Jewish, and Middle Easterners continue to face stereotypes on both the big and small screen. These common misconceptions about groups of people are still being portrayed in the media. The inaccuracy of ethnic groups can affect how we perceive one another and relate to one another. Children are especially vulnerable to the media’s stereotypes because they have a very limited view of the world. African Americans
African Americans are the most stereotyped people in the modern and historical United States. They are portrayed as lazy, unintelligent, loud, immoral, destructive, and obnoxious as well as being portrayed as criminals or thugs in the media. As with all stereotypes, these stereotypes are lazy and only used to denigrate people who are seen as “different” from the person asserting the stereotype.

As with all stereotypes, these stereotypes are lazy and only used to denigrate people who are seen as “different” from the person asserting the stereotype. These stereotypes are pushed even further by the media and how African Americans are portrayed in films. They tend to be cast in only certain roles that can be considered racist or at a minimum, stereotypical. These roles include the “Magical Negro”, thugs, a maid or butler, and a brash woman. These casting patterns can have a huge impact on how African Americans are viewed, especially when they reinforce stereotypes that are demeaning. The thug role that African Americans portray in movies may be the most common stereotyped role.

Title: Colonization in Africa and the United States | AFR 110: Intro to Contemporary Africa
Headings: Colonization in Africa and the United States
Colonization in Africa and the United States
Content: These Empires traded slaves with the Europeans for guns that would help them secure and grow their empires. The slave trade had led to underdevelopment of the continent. This led to Africa being vulnerable to colonization by European forces in the late 1800’s. The Scramble for Africa following the Berlin Conference divvied up the continent between the European powers, leading to annexation of the continent. The impetus for the African colonization of the late 1800’s was much different to that of the colonization of the United States and the “New World.” American colonization was driven by the desire to conquer this “New World” and to lay claim to as much of the Americas as possible. The impetus for African colonization was driven by profit, and was done so take advantage of the continent’s resources and to dominate the continent. It wasn’t until after WWII did African’s begin to make strides towards independence from the European control. Ghana was the first colonized nation to gain independence from European colonial rule, and did so in the late 50s. Many African nations followed, but not without armed conflict in many regions, primarily where many European’s had settled.

America’s Prison System is Flawed
Content: Mass incarceration breaks up families and causes former convicts to become unemployed. This has raised the American poverty rate by 20%. ( 2017). Overall, Prisons in America are flawed in many ways. One flaw that plagues our system of punishment is racial bias. Black men are incarcerated more than white men even though they make up less of the population. Also, five times as many white people use drugs as African-Americans, but black people are imprisoned 10 times more (Lichtenberg, 2016). The third requirement of a good prison system is that similar crimes should be treated similarly, which is clearly not the case in our prisons. Colored people who commit the same crimes are not treated the same way as white people would be. Our prison system has many problems and is in desperate need of reform.

Some of these problems include inhumane living conditions, racial bias, and increased risk of reincarceration. We can solve these problems if we meet three requirements of an effective system. Firstly, the punishment has to fit the crime. Secondly, it has to do more harm than good. And, thirdly similar crimes should be sentenced in the same way.

Title: The Roman Empire: The Fall of the Roman Republic | Tiberius
Headings:
Content: Roman tradition became less and less important to political figures later on in the Roman Republic, until 30’s BC where much Roman tradition was considered a thing of the past. The fall of the senatorial power in Rome can be described by different specific events; for example, Tiberius Gracchus, elected tribune of the plebs in 133 BC, proposed a law known as Lex Sempronia Agraria, which in essence gave land to those who are poor and have fought in the army and had no land to return to. This is the first of many acts that started to define the different views and wants of the Optimates (the people of power, such as the senate) and the Populares (the roman people as a whole). Knowing that the senate would disagree with his proposal, he bypassed the senate and took his proposal directly to the Popular Assembly; this was considered a major insult to the senate. Tiberius Gracchus’s younger and more persistent brother, Gaius Gracchus, also broke many rules of tradition and was blatantly insulting towards the senate. Gracchus, however, focused much more on the enfranchisement of the Italian allies of Rome (this is seen as a move towards populares ). C. Marius began to break tradition and law as well by taking men into his army who did not own any land previously. Marius and Sulla were the first two political figures in Rome who used considerable military force to get what they wanted, and this trend continued all through the fall of the Roman Republic and into the Roman Empire.

Gaius Julius Caesar, previous general and consul of Rome, played a vital role in the fall of the Roman Republic. Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius (Pompey), and Marcus Crassus together formed what was later called the “First Triumvirate” in 60 BC. Political differences and bickering eventually led to the fall of the Triumvirate, and Crassus’ death in 53 BC after a lost battle against Parthia in the East was the first true unsettlement in the Triumvirate. After years of civil war between Pompey and Caesar sparked from conflicting views, 48 BC marked Pompey’s brutal death in Egypt. 45 BC marked the true end of the civil war, leaving Caesar to be the only triumvir left of the First Triumvirate.

The Cost of Recycling E-Waste is becoming a Problem
April 27, 2016 Corrie Struthers
Starting July 1 st, dump trucks can drop old CRT TVs and other electronic devices into West Virginia’s landfills because the state overturned a bill that banned throwing away electronic waste. A recent article in NBC News expresses how old TVs and other electronics are creating a problem for recycling programs across the United States. The problem emerged because companies used to be able to recycle televisions for free but now they are being charged to send them somewhere else. Many companies can’t afford these charges and have to stop their recycling programs. Why is it important to recycle old TVs? Many electronic devices contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, beryllium and cadmium. When these devices are not disposed of properly, they become hazardous to our health and the environment especially if they leach out of a landfill. If e-waste does not get recycled, it will continue to cause harm to ourselves and the environment. Why Recycling E-waste Got Expensive? Many old TVs used to contain about 6 lbs of lead.

This lead could be melted down to make new cathode ray tubes (CRT) for TVs. Now many televisions use LED and plasma which doesn’t contain lead. This created a weak demand for lead filled glass used in TVs. Other materials like gold and copper that are used in TVs have had a decline in prices which makes stripping old sets unprofitable. When the prices used to be higher, companies were more willing to recycle the old televisions.

Content: Companies are finding it easier to throw away e-waste into a landfill because of the increased cost of recycling. It is approximately $40 a pound to process a ton of trash and $360 a pound for electronic waste. Many companies can’t afford this cost of recycling. What Should Be Done? It is important to teach people the importance of properly recycling their electronics instead of dumping them even if it cost more. States should also provide financial assistance to the recycling companies to provide a cheaper and easier way to recycle e-waste. Manufacturers should also be more involved and provide funds for recycling programs. With this combination, recycling e-waste should be affordable and easy again. Post navigation

Third Genders: New Concept? Or Old?
Content: Or Old? February 19, 2014 Lee Bader 8 Comments
In nearly all of human history and, in particular, human culture, we have recognized and integrated at least two genders. For most societies, this means labeling two sexes (male/female) and two genders (man/woman) with the ideas of transsexualism and homosexuality being their own separate sect as novel and unprecedented, however cases of a “third gender” are well documented in multiple societies. There are an overwhelming amount of examples of another or “third gender” in cultures in the past: In indigenous Hawaii, before its colonization, there was a long standing multiple gender tradition, where the mahu could be a male or female biologically, but decide to inhabit a gender role either opposite theirs, somewhere in between the traditional sex roles, or even both masculine and feminine roles. Instead of being written off as outcasts, as persons of atypical gender identities often are today, these mahu were revered in their social roles as sacred educators of ancient traditions
In ancient Incan culture, the Incas worshipped a “dual gendered god” known as chuqui chinchay, who could only be attended and honored by third gender shamans or servants who wore androgynous clothing as “a visible sign of a third space that negotiated between the masculine and the feminine, the present and the past, the living and the dead.” Among the Sakalavas of Madagascar, there is a third gender group reserved especially for little boys thought to have a feminine appearance and personality. These boys, rather than labeled as “gay men” after maturing and experiencing the upbringing of a male, are instead raised by their parents as girls from a young age. Though many of these societies may refer to transsexuals or homosexuals as a third or separate gender, most of the time, these extra genders represent individuals who identify neither as men nor women. To most of these cultures, this means that the third gender symbolizes the intermediate condition between the genders or a state of being both. (

( This is often described as the “spirit of a man in a woman’s body” and vice versa.) In layman’s terms, this means that individuals included in this third gender either have no gender affiliation, have the ability to cross or swap between genders, or are a gender category all together independent of the traditional male and female roles. It doesn’t always stop at third. Third genders are widely accepted as being understood as an “other” gender, but fourth, fifth, and sixth genders have been documented by anthropologists as well. In contemporary societies, people have started to draw a line between sex (biological and anatomical nature) and gender (social and psychological nature).

Many modern societies continue to be conservative with their idea of gender and only recognize a two-gender system, which they, ethnocentrically, believe to be the social norm. This is known as “heteronormativity”: female genitalia = female identity = feminine behavior = desire male partner
male genitalia = male identity = masculine behavior = desire female partner
Third genders are still documented in contemporary society today. The most well known of these cases are recorded in the Indian subcontinent in the roles of the “hijras”. Hijras are born intersex or male, but dress in feminine clothing, retaining a gender that is neither male nor female.

The OBRA gave mental ill patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution and the freedom to administer their own medication but it also put a stronger burden on families and those very people who are ill. It removed guaranteed access to individuals with the expertise to treat the mentally ill. It removed the ability for families to easily navigate the system to find sound help. It allowed each state to decide how much funding should be put into caring for the mentally ill-which after everything else that the state budget must consider–depending on its importance receives or doesn’t receive funding. Whether the state provides a lucrative budget for mental health facilities, dictates the level of care one can receive. Then it’s up to the private companies to supplement the lack of facilities. And, only the elite or well-off have access to such facilities as they can be quite expensive or only accept a certain type of insurance.

Race in the Media: Is Representation a Problem?
Content: According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American will spend a total of nine years watching TV in their lifetime. If this activity can eat up so much of our lives, it’s reasonable to think that it has some power over how we see the world. If the shows, movies, commercials, and news that Americans watched included more racially diverse people in diverse roles, viewers would probably become used to and more accepting of people of different races. In addition to this, media exposure could be a positive thing for members of minorities who feel ignored in American society. Lack of representation can be seen as a form of racial erasure, which is naturally disheartening for the people who are being overlooked. Many people even suffer from poor self-image because of their color and how it is portrayed in the media. This anonymous post on the Experience Project demonstrates how lack of representation in the media can make people feel insecure: “All the time on TV and in the magazines, I see these beautiful white girls with long, silky blond hair and flawless pale skin. And I ask myself: why am I stuck with almond brown skin and a head full of curly hair?”

After all, the depiction of people of color can be stereotypical and more harmful than helpful. But as a first step, the inclusion of racially diverse people works pretty well. It would serve a dual purpose by exposing viewers to people different than themselves and building up those who feel excluded. By doing this, the media can play a significant part in creating a more harmonious environment in the United States, where hateful comments like those against Amandla Sternberg, Nina Davuluri, Richard Sherman, and anyone who has been attacked like them would not be said.

Content: Bills are presented to the House of Representatives where subcommittees and interest groups have the power to add amendments. The approved Bill is then sent to the Senate where more provisions may be made. Once approved through the Senate the bill is passed on to the President who can either chose to sign it making it a law, or veto it in which case the bill could only be overturned if 2/3 of Congress vote to pass the bill. Finally, once the bill has passed the legislative process it is forwarded to the agency which will be responsible for it’s implementation. The states are then responsible for establishing the bill protocol within their own governments. Now that you understand the complex process through which health policy is created, let’s take a look at this process in action. While I was in D.C. I attended a White House convening between Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Secretary Julián Castro of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
. Image Source
The convening focused on a proposed policy which would ban smoking within 25 feet of all public housing in the U.S. In the audience was a variety of public health professionals; physicians, government health agency employees, health advocates, non-profit employees, policy developers and health communicators. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the potential ramifications of passing the bill as well as identifying concerns that community members had with the proposed legislation changes.

Title: Augustus | Warfare in Roman Culture
Headings: Augustus
Augustus
Content: Previously, the Roman army was an Greek/Italian style army made up by the common man. The average Roman soldier would be a volunteer who might have been a farmer or artisan in everyday life, was untrained, and would serve for around 10 years. Under Augustus, the Roman army was transformed into a true, professional army. Roman legionnaires were highly trained and served for closer to 20 years. Since the army is still made of volunteers, Augustus needed convince young Romans to dedicate their working life to the army. Thankfully for him, his entire reformation process was based around centralizing the Roman focus to the needs of the state, so he was already on his way to building a massively strong army. However on top of that he enacted a few laws that provided benefits for soldiers in the Roman army. For example, Augustus set aside a portion of the Roman treasury for the aerarium militare, or military treasury, which provided financial support such as pensions for the troops (“Augustan Army Reforms”). With more reason to join the army, Roman men jumped on the opportunity, and once again followed along with the visions of Augustus. Like every reform Augustus made this strengthened both Rome itself and the desire of the common man to further Roman glory.

Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia
General Christian View
Christians are mostly against euthanasia. The arguments are usually based on the beliefs that life is given by God and that human beings are made in the image of God. Life is a gift from God . All life is God-given. Birth and death are part of the life processes which God has created, so we should respect them. Therefore no human being has the authority to take the life of any innocent person, even if that person wants to die
Human beings are valuable because they are made in God’s ima ge. Human life possesses an intrinsic dignity and value because it is created by God in his own image for the distinctive destiny of sharing in God’s own life. Saying that God created humankind in his own image doesn’t mean that people actually look like God, but that people have a unique capacity for rational existence that enables them to see what is good and to want what is good. As people develop these abilities they live a life that is as close as possible to God’s life of love. This is a good thing, and life should be preserved so that people can go on doing this.

Content: Furthermore, no one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for another person entrusted to his or her care, nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly, nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action. For it is a question of the violation of the divine law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity. It may happen that, by reason of prolonged and barely tolerable pain, for deeply personal or other reasons, people may be led to believe that they can legitimately ask for death or obtain it for others. Although in these cases the guilt of the individual may be reduced or completely absent, nevertheless the error of judgment into which the conscience falls, perhaps in good faith, does not change the nature of this act of killing, which will always be in itself something to be rejected. The pleas of gravely ill people who sometimes ask for death are not to be understood as implying a true desire for euthanasia; in fact, it is almost always a case of an anguished plea for help and love. What a sick person needs, besides medical care, is love, the human and supernatural warmth with which the sick person can and ought to be surrounded by all those close to him or her, parents and children, doctors and nurses. Position of Protestant Denominations
A number of Protestant denominations have issued statements on euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. Conservative faith groups tend to be most vocal in their opposition. Liberal denominations tend to be more in favor of individual choice.

Euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and all other types of suicide are almost unanimously condemned in Jewish thought, primarily because it is viewed as taking something (a human life) that belongs to God for “only He who gives life may take it away.” For Judaism, human life is, “created in the image of God.” Although life is considered to be God’s creation and good, human life is related to God in a special way: it is sacred.

The sanctity of human life prescribes that, in any situation short of self-defense or martyrdom, human life must be treated as an end in itself. It may thus not be terminated or shortened because of considerations of the patient’s convenience or usefulness, or even sympathy with the suffering of the patient. Thus euthanasia may not be performed either in the interest of the patient or of anyone else. Jewish law strongly condemns any act that shortens life and treats the killing of a person whom the doctors say will die in any event to be an act of murder. Positive euthanasia is thus ruled out.

How Did the Roles of Women Change Over the Course of the Late 19th Century?
Content: They enjoyed few political, legal, or social rights and were expected to be subservient to their husbands and fathers in all matters. However, with the coming of the First World War and the industrial revolution the demand for workers to produce goods was higher than the available men in the U.S. at the time. As a result, women gained entry into the workforce and from that grew to establish gender equality within the United States permanently. Prior to World War I and the Industrial Revolution, women were primarily homemakers. The few jobs that were available to them were being a maid or a servant to a noble family, which entailed the exact same work ethic they applied when caring for their own families. There was little to no education for women and almost no opportunity for growth and advancement within the workplace. Along with the long-hours and hard working conditions, pregnant women were also expected to continue working up until their due date and return to work almost immediately afterward. Combining exhaustion with the sub-par medical practices of the time, most women had a severely low life expectancy and ended up literally working themselves to death. Toward the late 19 th century World War I broke out, also bringing on an increased demand for wartime goods and weaponry. With the men abroad, women stepped in to fill their shoes working in factories and acting as nurses to the wounded who returned home.

This was the first time women were able to branch out in the workforce and try their hand at manual labor. Following the war came the Industrial Revolution, which increased production drastically, and the need for workers even more so than before. Utilizing this platform, women of the late 1800’s utilized it to increase their involvement in politics and enforce their right to vote. With these developments came a drastic shift from rural to city life and the lessening of women dealing only with domestic affairs. The end of the 19 th century marked a time of change and reform for women.

Technological advancements in communication play an important role in influencing electoral behavior, easing the accessibility of political information. The Internet makes it easier to find out a candidate’s platform, what they want to work for, and their history. By using the internet in this way, people are engaging in what is now known as “ digital citizenship .” A “digital citizen” is one who engages in democratic affairs in conventional ways by using an unconventional medium such as their laptop or smartphone. The media’s role in elections and politics has grown exponentially since the 1960s. Prior to television, presidential candidates relied on the radio, think of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats, and other interpersonal means to communicate with voters: caucuses, party conventions, town halls, and so on. As technology progressed and television became widely accessible, reliance on interpersonal connections diminished and reliance upon the media grew. Power transitioned from party leaders and bosses to the candidates – as they were able to take control of their campaign, so long as their actions were worthy enough to make headlines.

Content: The
use
of
the
word
shattering
has
particular
meaning
here,
as
loss
often
renders
incomprehensible
many
aspects
of
life. If
we
have
loved
someone,
the
loss
of
them
is
excruciatingly
painful; if
we
lose
someone
with
whom
we
have
had
a
conflicted
relationship,
the
ensuing
loss
is
complicated
by
ambivalent
feelings; if
we
lose
someone
with
whom
we
have
had
angry
feelings
and
the
time
to
repair
them
has
not
be
granted,
then
loss
can
mean
relief
and
guilt. Loss
is
a
part
of
life
and
living
as
is
connection
and
caring. When
death
occurs,
there
is
usually
a
complex
package
of
feelings
and
emotions
for
the
survivor(s). There
are
many
theorists
who
have
described
why
there
is
such
pain
when
there
is
a
death. The
work
of
John
Bowlby
(1980)
stands
out
as
seminal
in
understanding
the
nature
of
attachment
and
loss. Bowlby
is
the
chief
architect
of
attachment
theory. His
formulation
is
based
on
work
with
children
struggling
with
maternal
loss
and
subsequent
psychopathology
and
delinquency
(Shaver
&
Tancredy,
2001).

Content: When
there
is
an
absence
of
an
attachment
figure
through
death,
an
innate
motivational
system
is
activated
that
compels
the
individual
to
search
for
the
deceased
and
do
everything
possible
to
regain
that
person’s
proximity
and
care. When
these
efforts
fail,
the
bereaved
individual
experiences
profound
sorrow
and
despair. In
time,
the
bereaved
individual
reorganizes
his
or
her
representations
of
the
world
in
a
way
that
allows
him
or
her
to
return
to
normal
activities
and
seek
out
or
renew
social
relationships
(Farley
&
Shaver,
1999). Attachment
theory
implies
that
the
loss
of
an
attachment
figure
will
be
an
important
and
deeply
troubling
event,
especially
if
there
are
levels
of
emotional
dependency
involved. Interestingly,
adults
also
show
the
need
for
attachment,
especially
when
they
are
under
stress
and
are
disposed
to
cling
to
one
another
(Kastenbaum,
2001; Shaver
&
Tancredy,
2001). Attachment
behavior
leads
to
the
development
of
affectional
bonds
(attachments)
at
first
between
child
and
parent
and
later
between
adult
and
adult. The
attachment
behavior
is
instinctive
and
it
creates
a
bond
which
endures. When
the
attachment
bond
is
endangered
by
threat
of
loss,
powerful
reactions
are
noted
(Bowlby,
1980; Raphael,
1983).

Content: This page explores the social structure of Britain, its impact on life, both private and public, as well as the new developments that changed the way the people spent their leisure time. There was a clear gap between the wealthy and the poor, which made itself visible in almost all aspects of life, but there were certain areas where class was unimportant. Family Life
The family lives of people were separated by two distinctions: roles for men versus roles for women, and social class. In general, men were the breadwinners, providing income for the family, whereas the mothers were in charge of the household. This role grew more prominent with more wealth, as with that came more estate to manage. Marriage was also very closely tied to social class; women were seldom married into lower social rungs. It also came with heavy social implications for the family’s legacy and reputation among their peers. Role of Women and Men
Women had to take on various roles in the household during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Women had to take on various roles in the household during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were responsible for running the household, and for more affluent families, managing the servants. Women, or mothers, were also responsible for raising and educating their children. In addition, they were responsible for cooking and feeding the family. This required women to be well-educated in medicinal and culinary uses of herbs and plants, needlework, reading, and writing. In general, women had very few rights and experienced oppression at the hands of the patriarchy.
