...A “vice” is a generic term for a bad habit. Almost all human being s have some vices. Smoking, dringking, swearing are the common vices. A few common vices do not make a person “bad” person- merely a normally weak (that is to say “human”) person. Evil vices such as racial or sexual bigotry are maligant vices, tahat lower the humanity of the person possesing that vice. Even extremely ordinary thing (like a weakness for rich desserts) can be considered a vice in an overweight person, or one who suffers from diabetes, for example. Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime --- that is, the design to injure the person or property of another --- is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practises his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property; no such things as the right...

...It seems to be a "coming of age thing" when a student goes to college and ecounters vices such as drinking, unprotected sex and gambling. Such vices cannot be ignored anymore as to the more students seem to be detaching from their parents, they seem to be enjoying freedom too much. Some studies show that between non-college and those who are taking up college, drinking maybe quite a "thing" for college students when there are parties, events and other celebrations that can be thought of. Is this normal? A natural reaction to transitions might be the issue. From being under "rules" to the crossroads of the real life, things from the real life they might be experiencing might not come off good from the start. Such crossroads may be a time for experimenting, discovery and risky decisions. Although this might not apply to others, some of the college students who involve themselves in binge drinking, vices and even unprotected sex are either failing, dropping out or worse, ending up dead, making parents and administrators worried and that some of the laws and policies lack being implemented properly. Yes, there are deaths in students who have binge drinking and too much partying, this is caused by drinking and driving and other alcohol-related crimes. Is it because of kids' morality and views with drinking, peers and sex? Young people still need guidance, and the crossroads of their life like college, are one of the risky periods when they are tempted to try almost anything...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The rate of students involved in bad vices such as smoking, hard drinking, gambling and sometimes illegal drugs, addiction in computer games and variety of gadgets are serious problems that need diplomatic actions. There are lots of reasons why the youth nowadays are being involved in bad vices. One of the major reasons per observation is the lack of quality relationship with their parents because a lot of parents are just being parents who provide material and physical needs and forget the needs of their children in terms of the emotional and moral aspects. High School senior students are driven to do bad things just to satisfy themselves with their bad vices, like stealing money from their parents, cutting their classes hours, getting into troubles in the community or even inside the school. These things may lead to even more unlikely things that they may even do notorious things to their people. The child-parent relationship is even gone worse because youths are being more and more stubborn while the parents are losing their temper and patience to understand the situation of their children. Parents tend to become stricter and they are being more authoritative to their children that may lead to a rebellion against them. Parents should not only be simply just a parent, but they also be a best friend to their children. They should spend more quality time with their family, talk to them intimately so they could...

...San Jose Pili National High School San Jose,Pili,Camarines Sur A Research paper in Fulfillment of the Requirements in English 10 Submitted to: JAEL P. OLAÑO Subject Teacher Submitted by: CHARISH JOY B. BAYOT 10-EINSTEIN March 2016 HISTORY OF VICES IN TEXAS The history of vice in the U.S. state of Texas has been an important part of the state's past and has greatly influenced its development. Vice activities, such as gambling and prostitution, have historically been a significant facet of both the state's culture and its economy. Law enforcement organizations have traditionally defined vice as including prostitution, gambling, alcohol and narcotics, and pornography. These activities, though always controversial, represented major influences in the state with some enterprises at times holding legendary status. The legal status of the individual activities has fluctuated substantially over time. Additionally during some periods individual communities and public officials have been accepting of many of these activities, even when they were illegal, because of corruption, because the activities were seen as inevitable, or often because the activities were economically important. Early Texas and the Republic of Texas Before the arrival of the European settlers in Texas, the plant peyote (peyotl in Nahuatl) had become a popular hallucinogenic among tribes in the Rio Grande Valley as well as parts of West Texas and Chihuahua. Tribes in the area included the Carrizo...

...“The Vice-President of the US has no real importance, only potential importance as the next president.” How far do you agree with the view? The executive is the core of the government, where policy is formed and executed. In the USA there is a presidential executive, providing the political leadership of the country. The role of the president is outlined in Article 2. All executive power is vested in one president, elected separately from Congress with his own mandate. It is a single-person executive and president’s cabinet has no constitutionally derived power or electoral mandate, and the president may or may not seek their advice when making decisions (unlike the “cabinet government” in the UK, which is a plural executive drawn from Parliament). Although the president does have enumerated powers, more media attention than the Vice President and more overall power in the executive, the Vice President has more importance than just potentially becoming the next president. The president has formal enumerated powers, which makes him more important than the vice president who is elected under him. The president is chief executive and executive power is only given to the president, rather than shared between the president and the vice president. The executive branch is under presidential control and he is responsible for the federal budget, setting out and implementing the policy agenda for the USA. The executive powers also include the power of patronage and pardon. For example...

...A recent review of C. F Thwing's book on "American colleges" says: In his chapters on Morals and Religion the author draws conclusions very unfavorable to city colleges compared with those located in country towns. He thinks that the proximity of drinking-shops and disreputable houses, as well as the fact that city colleges draw their students mainly from residents of cities, who are familiar with vice, tends to lower the moral tone of the students; and he adduces many facts in proof of his position. There is undoubtedly much truth in this view. Large colleges certainly have a large ratio of dissolute-or, put it less harshly, wild-students than smaller institutions. But this can be truthfully said of their vices: They are more gentlemanly and less vulgar than those practised in country colleges. City students may drink more, and occasionally gamble; but they never give the Professors a charivari, or attack the President with bad eggs, or conspire against the college authorities and get expelled in a body. They have more affection and respect for their Alma Mater-more esprit de corps-more urbane manners. Students however, are not a class suigeneris. They are what their instincts and surroundings make them. An educated gentlemen is apt to be a gentleman even though he be a student; and being a student doesn't prevent him from being a rowdy, if he was born such. Mobs of course lose the human instinct; and we need not look to college-life to find examples of men who act like ruffians...

...* ------------------------------------------------- Six Vices Destroy the Human Life * Some people may think that people are the strongest in the nature. In fact, the human body is rather tender to be threatened by various vices, such as the inadequate intake of water and excessive intake of coffee. These vices can gradually destroy our life. The first vice is to drink water inadequately, which can cause the aging of brain, induce the cardiovascular diseases and affect the metabolism of kidney. When people are working in office, they usually forget to drink water. In order to prevent the danger, people should absorb enough water for their bodies. However, people with weak intestinal functions should not drink water until they feel thirsty, or the metabolism of water inside the body can be seriously disturbed. The second vice is to regard fruits as main food. Although fruits contain abundant vitamins and sugar, they can not provide protein and trace elements for the human body. The inadequate supplementation of protein will cause nutritional imbalance and induce various diseases. It is necessary for people to know well about their own physical constitutions so as to choose suitable food. The third vice is to drink wine excessively. It is known to all that excessive drinking can cause the liver diseases and affect the reproductive system. If people want to drink wine, they should first understand the variety of wine. It is beneficial for people to drink red grape wine moderately...

...The commercial vices are gambling, prostitution, and drugs. The appeals of the commercial vices are so strong and widespread that attempts to prohibit them in western countries have always failed. The evils of these vices are threefold: Those who practice them suffer, the criminals who sell them prosper, and the enforcement organizations are expensive, unsuccessful, and often corrupt. Two commercial vices have been accepted as unstoppable, but there evils have been minimized by legalization and regulation. These are the particular drug, alcohol, and gambling. Ethyl alcohol, the drug in beer, whiskey, and wine does more harm is causing accidents, overdose deaths, job failures, broken homes, and violence than all other drugs combined. The United States attempted to prohibit alcohol and failed. The Mafia made its money by bootlegging alcohol. The gangsters of the twenties and thiries were in the alcohol business just as the drug peddlers of today are in the drug business. Both settled trade disputes with gun fire. When alcohol prohibition was repealed and sale by licensed dealers was instituted, the Mafia went out of the liquor business and the revenue agents assigned to stop the illegal business went out of business too. The quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxed, not high enough to motivate bootlegging, became a source of public revenue. Consumption of legal alcohol became only slightly greater than the consumption of illegal...

...Case 16 – Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as the interim vice president? A glance thru Jennifer’s background at Mid-West U, briefly details out what type of person she is. She was well known and admired among her peers for her devotion to the University as well as for her energy and charm. Her characteristics portray how she devotes her entire life to her work and her social environment. She succeeds in her teaching career and administrative positions but being selected as the interim vice president doesn’t guarantee her any success. Being selected as the number-two person at the top of the organization will be a challenge, but it will allow her to manage people and have the opportunity to decide what’s best for Mid-West U Both of which are new tasks for her. “Big Five Personality Traits” The majority of personality tests qualify different personality aspects by five main traits. These traits are listed below. 1. Extraversion: outgoing, sociable, assertive. 2. Agreeableness: good-natured, trusting, cooperative. 3. Conscientiousness: responsible, dependable, persistent. 4. Emotional Stability: unworried, secure, relaxed. 5. Openness to Experience: imaginative, curious, broad-minded. These are not “types” of personalities, but dimensions of personality. So someone’s personality is the combination of each of their Big Five personality characteristics. For Jennifer, she may be very sociable (high Extroversion), very friendly (high...

...Case Study: The New Vice President Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as interim vice president? Jennifer seems to be a qualified choice. She is familiar with the University, has good relationships, and appears to have the appropriate back round that qualifies her for the position. It is difficult to predict at this point due to several factors. 1) Will her relationships with her coworkers affect her decisions where they are concerned? 2) How will she work with the new President, who she barely knows. At this point, It appears Jennifer will have some transitioning, but there does not seem to be anything that would drastically keep her from growing into her new position. 2. What do you predict will be her management/leadership style? Jennifer's leadership style looks like it will follow in the mold of consideration. She has strong interpersonal relationships with her now subordinates and will likely focus on maintaining those relationships as part of her style. While this can be a good thing, Jennifer will have to make sure that her new subordinates also accept her authority. 3. What are her strengths and weaknesses? What is the basis for this assessment? Jennifer's strengths will be her familiarity with the University, the relationships she has developed, and her dedication she has demonstrated to the University. Her weaknesses will be the transition into her new position and how that may affect colleagues who are now subordinates...

...Chapter 1, with a highly focused review of the literature, and is normally the “prospectus” that a committee approves before the “proposal” to start research is approved. After the prospectus is approved, some of the review of literature may be moved into Chapter 2, which then becomes part of the proposal to do research. Chapter 1 is the engine that drives the rest of the document, and it must be a complete empirical argument as is found in courts of law. It should be filled with proofs throughout. It is not a creative writing project in a creative writing class; hence, once a word or phrase is established in Chapter 1, use the same word or phrase throughout the dissertation. The content is normally stylized into five chapters, repetitive in some sections from dissertation to dissertation. A lengthy dissertation may have more than five chapters, but regardless, most universities limit the total number of pages to 350 due to microfilming and binding considerations in libraries in those institutions requiring hard copies. Use plenty of transitional words and sentences from one section to another, as well as subheadings, which allow the reader to follow the writer’s train of thought. Following is an outline of the content of the empirical argument of Chapter 1. Universities often arrange the content in a different order, but the subject matter is the same in all dissertations because it is an empirical “opening statement” as might be found in a court of law.
