The Americans With Disabilities Act: Successes and Failures
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page overview of the history and provisions of this 1990 Act. The ADA has resulted in a tremendous improvement in regard to the lives of the disabled. There are, however, certain facts which we must acknowledge. These include reports on continued discrimination as well as concerns that the Act results in an unfair cost for employers and the requirement that they hire and retain employees who are inappropriate for meeting the demands of a particular job. This paper addresses each of these concerns to conclude that the advantages of the ADA outweigh any potential disadvantages. Includes a one-page letter to a Senator complimenting him on his role in implementing the ADA and encouraging him to turn legislative attention to educational partitioning in the educational arena which too often sets the stage for discrimination in the workplace. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Amish Culture
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Humanity's initial - if not involuntary - reaction to an unfamiliar concept is typically couched with disdain toward whoever it is trying to maintain an existence outside the norm. The extent to which Amish culture represents the antithesis of everything inherent to contemporary mankind is both grand and far-reaching; that this particular population of Americans lives and thrives as though they were still in the 1800s speaks to the tremendous diversity that exists between the Amish and all other cultures throughout the country. This conscious decision to live off the land and eschew modern conveniences is not merely a façade in order to garner attention, but instead is a statement of how a community is more genuine, productive and tight-knit if its approach to life is very fundamental in thought and in action. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The Amish: Comparison To Conventional Society
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Simplicity is the affirmation of the Amish, a community of people whose religious beliefs mandate them to forego ownership of modern amenities including electricity, automobiles and telephones. Their choice to eschew the conveniences of contemporary technological advancement speaks to the obvious importance of fulfilling basic needs with the standards of natural application. The uncomplicated lifestyle the Amish lead is often subject to ridicule and contempt from outsiders who contend that the Amish have purposefully separated themselves from the rest of society as a means by which to build a community of their own jurisdiction; however, the extent to which the Amish live and work as members of an unadorned population thriving amidst a larger society of constant problems clearly endorses the benefits of a simple existence. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
