Florida National University is one of the leading universities in the region. While it is replete with many facilities, it glaringly lacks a chemistry lab. Online laboratory exercises are no substitute to the actual experiential learning in a chemistry lab. Reid and Shah argue that the absence of the laboratory experience may leave students with perceptions of chemistry that would be very ‘abstract and theoretical’. While students might perceive that the theoretical understanding is gained at a relatively slow pace through lab work, it is undoubtedly true that the knowledge gained would stand in good stead in future professional ...

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government.

In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections.

While the allocation of tax dollars is a constant debate amongst Americans, regardless of legislative positions, the issue of welfare seems to be a particularly complicated one. To that end, many states (including yours) have instituted (or tried to institute) laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug tests. While this is an admirable idea in concept, the social and economic effects far outweigh any sense of moral righteousness one might feel for keeping welfare recipients in their place, as well as deals with unconstitutional ideas of unreasonable searches. To that end, I humbly propose that these programs be ...

The 14th Amendment, on the other hand, ensures that states enforce this guarantee and all other civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

One of the key essentials of a fair trial is availing legal representation to a defendant. This is embodied in the right to counsel. Basically, this right enables a defendant during proceedings to be aided by a lawyer at their own expense, or if unable to pay for one, at the state’s expense. The basis for this right is that a defendant may be greatly disadvantaged, especially in criminal proceedings, if they are deprived of legal representation. This right enables the defendant, through counsel, to take part actively in the pre-trial process and also the trial itself.

This right is so fundamental ...

Prison Gangs Gang violence has been a reality of the American people since not long after the Revolutionary War, though at that time the legitimacy of the predominant gangs was in question. The resurgence of gang life didn’t occur until after the 1870’s and then escalated into the 1940’s, when crime rates soared thanks to a nation that had become largely divided thanks to several contributing factors such as race, ethnicity, money, and control over illegitimate businesses. It’s not entirely clear when prison gangs became such a notorious aspect of the penal system, but one thing is ...

For those individuals who work in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and a number of other service jobs the wages are not ...

Immigrants form a very important part of Florida’s population and culture.

In self defense, the basic philosophy is that the amount of force to ward off the threat must be proportionate to the force that was being threatened to be used. In essence, lethal force is only permitted to be used in cases in stopping the infliction of grievous bodily harm that can result in possible death, the death of the person or loved ones, or rape or “sexual assault” in Michigan. The person using deadly force legally must possess a reasonable belief that by using such force, one if not all three of these scenarios will be prevented, and ...

In some situations, it is crystal clear that force used against a malicious criminal is in self-defense and necessary to prevent serious injury or death, but in other cases, there is significant gray area in the space where self-defense and excessive, or aggressive, force meet. In this murky space where self-defense and aggression meet are “Stand Your Ground” laws. As the recent George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin incident and subsequent trial has proven, Stand Your Ground” laws can ignite passionate debate about gun control, the right to defend property and self, race and other factors. Most self-defense laws in the United ...

Introduction Pedagogy is the term used to describe the teaching of children. Until recent times, according to “Moving from Pedagogy to Andragogy” (n.d.), it was also used to describe the teaching of adults, but that is nowadays known as andragogy (sometimes spelt androgogy). The reason for this change of terminology, according to the article, is that whereas pedagogy means teacher-directed instruction, whereby those being taught need to learn only what the teacher decides to teach them and are in a fully dependent and submissive role in that environment, which demands obedience from the learners. In contrast, adult learners are ...

Engineering an Image: Smoking and the Youth Market Thesis statement -

Tobacco companies have traditionally played on the desire of young people to project an image in order to create a continual supply of customers. Advertising for cigarettes and other tobacco products has, over the years, sought to ingrain in young people (and others) a sense that smoking reflects desirable qualities, ranging from sophisticated and chic (i.e. Virginia Slims) to manly and independent (Marlboro). This manipulation of an important aspect of human development – the search for identity – is ruthless and exploitative, and is emblematic of a dark streak in America’s ...

In addition, the Crime Control Model puts emphasis on additional security agents and powers of prosecution. On the other hand, the Due Process Model highlights the view that the accused rights should be well safeguarded in the process of investigation. The Due Process ...

Currently, approximately close to 5 million citizens of the United States that represent close to 2 percent of the United States population is denied the right to vote because of felony conviction.

In my view, denying the vote to ex-offenders is antidemocratic and compromising to the values of freedom and self-determination. Upon completing their ...

Franchising involves the purchasing of rights to own and run a business designed by someone else (the franchisor) and using the successful business networks and models of the franchisor’s business usually in another geographical location.
