- ... foundation for this class. The driving force behind my final decision to apply myself to an advanced placement class is due to the fact that I want to be able to go into the real world with some understanding of how and why it functions as it does on a daily basis.

To be humane is to be aware that you can negatively effect the lives of others (any living thing), and to try to avoid that at all costs. So from our opposable thumbs to our upright stance, to the uniqueness of our spirituality or closely knit families we have the power to revive or kill the world as a whole so use that power wisely.
- 10485: Standard Oil 1911
- ... Oil Case of 1911 Out of the cases decided by the Supreme Court I feel the most influential dealt with the issue of Civil Rights. Two cases in particular that dealt with the post Civil War use of the Thirteenth Amendment were Jones v. Mayer, 1968 and Runyan v. McCrary, 1976. Although the Thirteenth Amendment was added to the constitution in 1865 it was not fully put to use until one ... the way our government can evolve to fit the times.

During the course of war the enemy may kill many of our own soldiers, but that fact still doesn’t prevent us from going to war. We must accept the few risks of wrongful deaths for the sake of defending public safety. There’s a claim that it is more expensive for the state to execute a criminal than to incarcerate ...
