Youth with mental illness disorders should not be kept in the same rehabilitation centers with juvenile delinquent youth.

Recommendation Separate rehabilitation centers should be constructed to take care of youth with mental illness disorders and separate them from juvenile delinquent youth currently in rehabilitation centers.

Introduction

The number of youth who are suffering from mental illness disorder and reside in juvenile correctional centers is rising and this has become an issue of concern. Youth who become disruptive because of mental instability that is brought about by either anxiety or change in moods end up being treated as juvenile delinquents rather than patients. In the rehabilitation centers where they are kept in order to remove any ...

In a primetime broadcast President Trump announced that his nominee to replace the vacant seat on the Supreme Court left by the untimely death of Antonin Scalia would be U.S. appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch. Interestingly, the headline shows a touch of “Texascentrism” by pointing out the Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett had been “bypassed.” Willett himself declared the selection “a magnificent choice.” There were other Texas connections in the selection. Senator Ted Cruz figures prominently in this article. First, it notes that Cruz had been discussed by some as a possible nominee for the ...

Introduction

Data from the US Census Bureau shows that in 2014, some 33 million people (10% of the population) in the United States did not have health insurance (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development -OECD, 2015). While all governments should offer universal healthcare to their people, some poor countries have plenty of socio-economic complexities to handle it, and for now developed countries like the United States are the ones highly capable of offering free healthcare to all their citizenry. The United States has one of the most unstable healthcare systems in terms of its affordability and access to all citizens ...

During the first 2 centuries C.E., there was a period of peace and prosperity, called Pax Romana , which remained in history as one of the happiest and prosperous periods in the entire human history. However, the achievements of the 3 emperors of the Flavian dynasty, Vespasian, and his sons, Titus and Domitian, laid the foundations for Pax Romana because it represented a period of able administration and important political, social, military and educational changes which brought prosperity in the empire. The succession of the first of these emperors, Nerva, put an end to the Flavian dynasty and in particular, ...

Introduction

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

Jim Inhofe, James Lankford and Tom Cole are Oklahoma’s senators and representative respectively. Jim Inhofe is the senior senator in Oklahoma. Jim worked in aviation and insurance fields prior to joining the Congress. In fact, he was once the president of Quaker Life Insurance Company. He is the only individual in the Congress who has ever flown a plane. I like that this Republican has gradually nurtured his capabilities to venture into various life paths. He is stubbornly persistent. Despite losing the gubernatorial election in 1974, he was determined to crack the political arena. This is mainly evident ...

The United States has very notable historical events. One of which is what is known to many as the McCarthy era. During the 1950s, communism is one of the great issues that many politicians are providing their views about it. Joseph McCarthy, one of the Republican Senators, has accused the hundreds of members of U.S. Department of State personnel as members of communist party. This proclamation came from his suspicion without having a concrete evidence against these individuals. From then on, the act of accusing without proper evidence has been named McCarthyism. This terminology was used many times on ...

“Et tu, Brute?” Many people recognize this pithy question as Julius Caesar’s last words upon seeing Roman senator Marcus Julius Brutus, with whom he had a relationship akin to that of a father and son, among his murderers on March 15, 44 BC. The phrase roughly translates to, “You too, Brutus?”. However, there is no historical evidence these were Caesar’s last words; more likely; they were popularized by William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in the sixteenth century. Known as the Ides of March, Caesar’s death is one of the most famous political overthrows in all of ...

This is a quick summary of that speech along with an analysis of how it is relevant in relation to the upcoming Civil War. The bulk of the speech by Senator Hammond was devoted to the size and relative strength of the Southern American states, also known ...

The 1992 presidential election resulted in Democrat Bill Clinton defeat sitting president, Republication George H.W. Bush. Clinton was former governor of Arkansas.

Both candidates had fundamentally different points of view on the most vital issue of that time: the economy. Bush was saying that the economy was fine and that the government should not interfere and “let the free market thrive” (Rosenbaum par. 1). On the other hand, ...

Governing structure in Texas usually includes the executive officials, legislators and state judges.

It popped up as anxiety, fear and something that could actually work to change the country for the better. America’s anxieties with the Cold War were very prominently ...

Some of the men felt intrigued by their presence while others saw them as equals. Hence, it was a struggle ...

Persuasion is a significant element of everyday lives. People are manipulated either intentionally or not to have perceptions against or for different ideas.

Five different ways demonstrate belief; it is a form of communication where people can send out messages to others directly or indirectly. It is used as an attempt of influencing people’s decisions.

1. How did the Cold War emerge after W.W.II? How did the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. view actions such as the Berlin Blockade and a policy stance such as the Truman Doctrine differently? First off, after WW2, the U.S emerged as the sole superpower, mostly because of its nuclear bomb capacity. In addition, the Soviet Union had millions of citizens and was in no position to engage in any new militaristic operations.

The legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States has caused a conflict between legality and moral-religious normalcy. For one, there are those who believe that that amending the nation’s laws on marriage does not in any way change what God has laid down from the very beginning; that the sacrament of marriage is only between a man and a woman. In this respect, the Bible is replete with teachings and warnings that clearly illustrate God’s attitude about marriage, from the Book of Genesis of the New Testament. As such, this continuity on the norms of marriage ...

The LGBT Protection Act would provide the necessary federal protection to persons who identify as LGBT by prohibiting various forms of discrimination.

The Act would make it unlawful for employers or business proprietors to discriminate against LGBT individuals. As the law currently stands, race, gender, religion, and national origin are protected classes; however, sexual orientation remains unprotected. History shows that persons who identify ...

Sanctions are complex middle-ground responses that are often intertwined with party politics. Sanctions are employed when diplomatic talks are not enough to reach a consensus between two states, especially in critical situations that require immediate solutions to prevent armed conflict. At the same time, sanctions are also used because deployment of military strength is not appropriate to the situation or use of arms is likely to hasten rather than prevent conflict. Effectiveness of sanctions hinges on the determination of the appropriate sanctions and obtaining sufficient support for the sanctions from within the ranks of government. Partisan politics often determine ...

There is no better example of the unethical, irrational, and questionable discussion than watching the circus of politicians’ debate during this election year in the United States. In the most recent farce by the GOP candidates in New Hampshire was quite a spectacle. One must ask where the rational, believable, and trustworthy politicians have gone, if there ever were any to begin with. However, the role that political leaders take on should involve respectable rational dialogue that can be trusted by the people who elect the officials rather than putting on a spectacle that is nearly as entertaining as ...

It was passed in response to what was felt to be inadequate regulation. There had been calls for comprehensive legislative reform but Congress was not convinced about the necessity for such reforms. A series of accidents laid bare the inadequacies of the existing regulation. The public outcry that followed these accidents forced Congress to react by passing the Act.
