Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike the United States' Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of Rights was written first, as a statement to the French people of the supreme guarantee of rights and as a symbol of liberty and egalitarianism, which was modeled after the beliefs of the American Constitution. The author points out that the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen ensured freedom to a society under absolute rule and outlined the basic fundamental principles enjoyed by a free society: No longer is the power invested in the king but in the people. The paper stresses that the National Assembly disjoined politics and religion because they considered the Catholic Church to be an enemy of liberty, a power that would try to revoke what the Declaration had just guaranteed.
From the Paper
"In declaring sovereignty for the French, the declaration was a loose interpretation of what America had scripted fifteen years earlier. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776, to break colonial allegiance with Great Britain. The document asserts the right to be free and independent states, where under a fair government there is a promise for man's entitlement to independence. Such beliefs have a direct correlation with what the French conveyed in their declaration. Jefferson wrote, "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" (Brophy 190). This line is almost identical to the one found in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen."

"PROBLEM STATEMENT AND HYPOTHESIS
Increased societal emphasis on the problems associated with drunken driving behaviors has resulted in the creation of many new programs. Some of these programs are enhanced law enforcement programs (increased enforcement and more severe penalties), while others emphasize treatment (the correction of individual problems). What continues to be unknown with a high degree of certainty is whether any of these policy approaches is dealing effectively with the real causes of drunk driving, or even whether these various policy approaches are effectively reducing the incidence of drunk driving behavior (Evans, 1996, p. 104).
Worldwide, approximately 50.0 percent of all fatal automobile accidents are due to the influence of alcohol consumption by.."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer describes that the Temperance Movement blamed booze for several issues. The writer discusses that excessive drinking can lead to crime, "moral degeneracy", broken families and business failure. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the factors leading to Prohibition and its outcome. The writer also discusses the reasons why it was ultimately revoked.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, the basic moral perspective has been that excessive use of alcohol is a willful act that leads to intoxication and other sinful behaviors. The Temperance Movement viewed drunkenness as a serious problem and most of the public continues to do so today. However, where today, we see alcoholism as a symptom of larger societal and psychological problems, temperance leaders saw alcohol itself as the cause of the problem and advocated control and eventually prohibition of its availability ...

Abstract
This paper explains that the Fairness Doctrine was a law that balanced mass media information, allowing time and credibility to all sides of a given argument so that the listener would receive credible and reliable information. The author relates that, along with the new pioneers of broadcast journalism, advertising, and editorial commentary, the Fairness Doctrine came about in the mid-20th century as an extension of First Amendment rights, which remained in place for most of the latter half of the 20th century, but was revoked by the FCC in the early 1980s after long years of misunderstandings, political conflicts, and conflicting precedents in various court cases. The paper stresses that, although networks even advertise that their news is ?fair and balanced?, it is not; the Fairness Doctrine must be reinstated as an ethical broadcasting rule designed to provide controversial issues with a balanced presentation, not censorship.
From the Paper
"The Fairness Doctrine is involved explicitly with radio and television
broadcasters, and states that there are responsibilities which these broadcasters must uphold to the public so that the information that the viewing and listening public receives is fair and balanced and opposing viewpoints get a chance to be presented. In essence, it is a measure of responsibility and accountability for the free press that is able to give counterarguments and provide a space for counterarguments regarding issues that are controversial and require a public forum so that the viewing and listening public can get a full cognizance of the issues being presented on both sides. Objectivity has always been a key tenet of journalism, but the achievement of objectivity is less clear and the Fairness Doctrine has responded to a need for clarity in this presentation by highlighting balanced reportage of issues that concern the public or may be political, controversial, or the subject of dis- or misinformation."

Abstract
America has one of the worst alcoholism problems in the world. This paper asks what America is doing differently compared to other Western countries and why alcohol is such a large problem here. The paper argues that it seems that the best answer to the problems caused by underage drinking is to end youth prohibition and replace it with intensive alcohol-responsibility training, zero-tolerance drunk driving laws and putting more social pressure on parents and establishments to monitor the drinking of the young. The paper shows that by reducing situations conducive to binge drinking, secretive drinking and drunk driving and replacing them with socially controlled situations, we reduce both health risks and drunk driving risks. The paper suggests that all arbitrary age-restrictions be revoked in favor of better societal monitoring and more pervasive anti-drunk driving regulations, aimed at risky behavior rather than specific targeted groups.
The paper includes a detailed outline.
From the Paper
"Another important benefit of a change in the laws would be that less law enforcement money spent on prohibition means more money and time spent on serious problems like drunk driving and crime. By decriminalizing under-age drinking -- by removing the age limits which define it as underage -- then one ends the problem of illegal drinking. Of course, there?s a certain degree of Orwellian double-speak at work here. If one were to nationalize personal property, that would also strictly solve the problem of theft as well. Obviously removing underage status makes underage drinking an impossibility and therefore not a problem. The real question is whether or not this move would decrease problems. It does seem reasonable, though, that more focus on enforcing drunk driving and erratic driving rules would be far more successful than wasting societal time checking IDs."

Abstract
This literary study examines the short story "The Lady and the Pet Dog" by Anton Chekhov. By learning of the sexist and often misogynistic behavior of Gurov toward women, one can realize his love for Anna revokes his views of gender stereotypes. By understanding how women can be seen as individuals with intelligence and beauty, Gurov invariably cannot hold onto these naive gender belief systems in Chekhov's narrative. The paper explains that, in essence, the basis of Chekhov's short story creates a larger perspective relating to how Gurov transforms his gender based misogyny in his love for Anna. Gurov is a male that has a great tendency to make generalizations about women and then places them within a certain category in society.
