...but the entire country, has debated countless years over the controversial issues of gun control and the laws. In the comparison and contrast in gun control stances in Texas and Washington State, the attitudes are very similar. It will discuss and cover many views and will teach about each states laws, statistics and stance on the gun control issue. These issues will be viewed side by side in comparison and contrast with each other to see all the facts. This way you will be able to decide your stance for yourself in the infamous controversial gun control issue. Washington State’s stance on gun control is in support of the gun owner and carrier and allows the owners to have numerous freedoms in owning and carrying guns. The stance against gun control is about 70% and lots of gun owners would like to keep the freedoms they already have. As RCW 9.41.050 states “Except in the person's place of abode or fixed place of business, a person shall not carry a pistol concealed on his or her person without a license to carry a concealed pistol” (Washington State Legislator, 2010). What this means to not just legal gun owners, but to anyone who possess a firearm, is that they are able to legally open carry their firearm in public with or without a license. Clearly those that are not allowed to have a firearm, such as convicted felons, are not legally allowed to have or carry a firearm.

...The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the Americans right to keep and bear arms. Gun control is a law suggesting regulation and restriction of the possession of guns. But is it really protecting society? Gun control only keeps law abiding citizens from obtaining firearms. Criminals will always have ways of getting weapons; whether it be from the black market, across borders, or illegal street sales. If a person cannot follow the sacred laws of the land, new gun laws won’t do much to stop them. After all, they are known to break the laws. As the saying goes; where there’s a will, there’s a way. Gun control laws should not be implemented because they will not stop crime, they will only disarm those who are not inclined or determined to commit crimes. The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. The 2nd amendment states “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed“ (Mount 1). Why would the founders of our country go through the trouble of adding an amendment to the Constitution, the governing document for the country, if they didn't intend for it to effect government action? The whole point of the Bill of Rights was to limit government action and power. Those who support gun control laws are interpreting the 2nd amendment in their own way, while firearm enthusiasts think that their freedom is being attacked (Mount 2). In 2008 in the District of Columbia, The Supreme Court ruled that the amendment explicitly protects Americans’ right...

...benefits of older workers to the businesses they will work in. However older workers would struggle with manual labour jobs, so they couldn’t be employed to do this. The way these types of companies would work around having older workers is to find a physical fault with their performance so they can be fired. They have to do this because they are not allowed to fire someone just because they are old, this is due to the Equality Act which makes them unable to discriminate. Finding a medical reason such as poor sight or bone problems is how businesses work around this. If discrimination does take place against older workers then these workers will be less motivation and inclined to go to work so this is why discrimination in the work place should not happen, this can be negative for the business.

...on transport and transport systems at every level no matter transferring goods, transporting customers or staff commuting. From jet airliners to mass transit buses and rail terminals, vehicles and transport facilities are all-too familiar targets of terrorist attacks in all country and abroad. The impact of large-scale disruption of transport infrastructures can be critical for national and global business because transport systems have long been viewed as targets for terrorists groups worldwide. Also we will elaborate more on how terrorism can be spread or being use through the four methods of transportation like rail, road, aviation and maritime. For the incident strikes on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York on September 11, 2001, this has exposed critical security flaws within the United States transportation system which required urgent attention.

The company was originally founded by Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy in 1995, focused around some demo software they had created in grad school and a company vision of providing a way for people without much musical training or talent to experience the joy of playing and creating music.

They attempted to market their creation through an interface with Japanese karaoke machines, a demo package deal with Intel, and even in an exhibition at Disney’s Epcot. And while the...
