But this will entirely change if these people get a job because they can’t rely on food stamps forever. Roughly 85% of the food stamps recipients are single parent homes so it will be hard to go to your job if you have a young child. But Republicans have proposed to spend 1 billion dollars toward child care. People might say what’s the point of working is if you have food on the table. But there is a point because if people start working they can be independent.

The federal government has awarded grants to police departments in excess of $34 billion dollars since 2011 to purchase military equipment. The author believes that this military appearance of the police is pushing the citizens away from being able to trust in the police to protect them during events such as the one in Ferguson, Missouri. While I can see the author’s point of view on this, I can’t help but to disagree. I believe that it shouldn’t matter how the police are dressed or what kind of weapons they are carrying. Obeying the law all boils down to one thing.
When George Washington took command of the U.S. Continental Army under an elm tree in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the United States flag was used.

Industrial hemp has been in use around the world since the Stone Age. China and Taiwan have both been recorded to have used hemp to make clothes, shoes, rope, and paper as long as ten thousand years ago (Wikipedia). Germany and Italy were then introduced to hemp during the medieval period and first started using it for cooking (Wikipedia). Hemp eventually made its way to the United States during the Napoleonic Era where Thomas Jefferson later drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. As hemp started becoming more and more popular, big industries started fearing the possibility of hemp cornering their markets.
9, Pg. 136. By age 50, they will have accumulated a lot more wealth in housing, RRSPs and CPP, and the children will have left home. Thus, their total insurance needs will have reduced greatly, and if they still want some coverage, they can get the lesser amount at higher rates and still fit within the sort of budget they have now. This is partly a practical decision given that we have not provided rates beyond 20 year term in the book.

The tape recorder was big and bulky, so it couldn’t bring their company to the market, but it couldn’t stop their steps either; to pursue their strategy of introducing innovative products, they bought rights from Bell labs to build transistors. After Morita and his partner successfully launched the first transistor radio “TR-55” in Japan in 1956, they considered the domestic environment in Japan since it was still hard hit by war, then they decided to move their company to America. After they moved to America, they came up with a whole new idea; why not building a small, transistorized radio that could fit in everyone’s pocket? Then in 1957, the world's smallest portable transistor radio, TR-63, was introduced to the public and it quickly took over the market. Short after that, in 1958, the company officially changed its name to SONY Corporation, and a year later, Akio Morita was appointed as Executive Vice President.
World population has been increased significantly, while Earth resources are limited and food sources are in danger. In this regard scholars predicted that world’s population would be reached around 10 billion by 2050 and certainly food requirement would be increased more than 70% (Dyson, 2016).These statistical data imply that food sources are increased arithmetically, while population are enhanced geometrically, whereas there should be a balance between population and food supply (Brownell, 2008).To overcome food shortage, some attempts have been done around half century ago which led to green revolution. This paper, aims to have a look on this phenomenon, introduce it and assess pros and cons of it. In this essay, initially, we have a quick look on nature and evolution of green revolution. Secondly, pros and cons of this phenomenon would be discussed and then more holistic solutions for improving this process would be introduced as a real green revolution.
