The structure and power of the UN Security Council is a major factor regarding how some states are able to exert power over the UN. For example, any permanent member of the UNSC (China, Russia, the US, Britain or France) can veto any resolution proposed as they please. As a result of this we have seen much needed resolutions been dropped due to permanent members vetoing due to national interests. In the case of the conflict in Syria, both resolutions proposed by the UNSC were vetoed by Russia and China as they went against their national interests. In this way, the permanent five members are certainly more powerful than the UN. Furthermore, states sovereignty imposes limits on the extent to which the UN can protect human rights. States sovereignty can also mean that states can refuse to sign international agreements that are seen as against their national interests. For example, the US’s refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Nevertheless, the UN does exhibit some power over states. It can authorise the use of force or peacekeepers or economic sanctions against states where internal conflict has occurred. For example, in 2006 the UNSC authorised the use of peacekeeping troops in Sudan in response to the conflict in Darfur. Similarly in 2011, the UNSC authorised the use of force to protect civilians against the attacks of the Gaddafi regime. Conclusively, although the UN has the ability to authorise various

In American society today, there are numerous laws designed to protect all citizens. One such law is having a speed limit. This requires motorists to drive reasonably and consider the conditions and potential hazards, regardless of what the speed limit signs say. As the automobile demands grew, the streets and highways expanded throughout the US, lawmakers created speed limits. On thee another hand, some citizens believe with modern day road materials and current automotive technologies, cars can safely exceed the legal limits set on almost every road in the United States. But, endless amount of studies and researches proves that having a speed limit can save lives, not to mention money.

The traffic problem in Atlanta drains both time and money for thousands. It has been shown that Atlanta drivers spend on average 51 unnecessary hours behind the wheel each year (WSB Radio, 2013). That’s more than two 24 hour days spent sitting in traffic. During all this time spent, Atlantans end up spending upwards of $1000 per year on gas and collectively use 63,000,000 gallons of gas each year while sitting in traffic (WSB Radio, 2013). Traffic in Atlanta has been a huge waste of time and money for Atlantans for years and something needs to be done to alleviate the

Answer 7. Every single child is different and will like and dislike different activities, and their won way and pace of learning. Angela should ensure that both Manshu and Jessica are given equal opportunities and an environment that lets them grow and learn at their own pace keeping in mind the difference in their age, stage and their own individual preferences. They should feel safe, secure and happy in their surroundings. It is her responsibility to ensure she caters to their individual needs effectively by carefully planning for each child, taking observations and getting to know their personal likes and dislikes. She should ensure that both of them are heard, more importantly heard with interest and their views and

Michigan state Senator Rick Jones, a republican from Grand ledge, the sponsor of 943 bills, and a former employee of law enforcement is reaching to accommodate Michigan's speed limit. That could mean a 75-80 mph speed limit on certain parts of the freeway, or even the adjustment of 55 mph on curves, and crowded areas with constrained visibility. His reasoning behind this proposal is his belief that some communities are setting low speed limits on roads to increase ticket dividend. His plan for this action is to leave the calculations for a better flowing freeway system to the Michigan State Police. Their method would include using traffic data to find the speed that 85 percent of michigan's drivers already use. Examples of the expanse that these changes could be present in are perhaps along with US 131 near

This question is a casual argument because it speculates the consequences in increasing the gas taxes.

You are the BSB support operations officer and have just learned your brigade's decisive operation was unexpectedly successful and the BCT is currently in pursuit of the enemy. You are greatly concerned the forces may run out of fuel in the

Energey saving is a fairly big issue, our dependence on things like oil is very big. In 1974 the President signed the Emergency Highway Energy Concervation Act, in a bold effort to decrease american dependence on oil. The Act encourages the states to lower their maximum speed to 55 miles per hour. However many people felt that said Act violated the authority of the individual states.

But, if gas prices are cheaper, that leads to more people purchasing gas, which leads to more people driving, which leads to even more pollution.

I’d like to start this speech today with a question. How many people have been in a vehicle whether being the driver or a passenger and drove by a stationary emergency vehicle sitting alongside the road? I can attest to driving by as well as being on the side of the road. My father, my grandfather, my uncle, and some of my ideals are alongside the road every single day. My grandfather owns a towing company, I have spent my entire life around emergency responders. So, the Move Over Slow Down Law hits very close to home. An article published by Matt Gray states, “Five firefighters per year, and one law enforcement officer per month are killed due to the violation of the Move Over Law. One tow truck driver is killed every six days due to Move Over violations,” (Gray). I am here today to persuade the audience to move over and slow down for emergency responders alongside the road as well as stranded motorists. People need to be aware of the Move Over Slow Down Law.

Great analysis! I agree with your perspective about maintaining 55 miles per hour speed limit and how decreasing or increasing it impacts the value and quality of life. How does the limitation of speed on the high way or access roads compare to health care and the value of life.? These two issues are extremely different in theory but have the same commonality of value and preservation of human life.

When the final results came in, gasoline came out on top. Surprise, surprise. To go 667 miles, it took 36.5 gallons of gasoline, whereas it took 50 gallons of E85 to go that same distance. That’s a 26.5 percent drop in fuel economy. And having to drive all the way to find a service station that has ethanol will definitely not help keep the tank full, which shows that gasoline is better for mileage, kit and caboodle.

On Friday October, 9th the House Of Representatives voted to try and reverse a ban on the exports of oil. The vote of 261 to 159 was in favor of the of bill. The bill is expected to incur a challenge in the senate and the white house. The issue is predicted to become an issue in the presidential election. The people that are not in favor of the bill say that removing the oil ban could raise gas prices however, the director of Crude Coalition, Jack Hauck, says that “every american household is saving $700 or more this year because refiners are passing on savings to U.S.

There is the reason that the needy or the non wealthier people in a community usually have a harder time paying off their house bills or even getting to places like work for example. Also, it will not only be better for the poor, but keeping gas prices lower it stimulates economic growth. People will want to travel more and will want to spend their money on better and more important things. Last, gas will be more accessible if the cost is declined. Raising the price of gasoline to decrease consumption is a short term

and lead to still greater uses of vehicles. This is tolerable where the population is
