North Carolina's Approach To Sexual Predators
ecently, North Carolina struck down North Carolina's ban on registered sex offenders using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. had an issue with Cooper notes that there are still laws on the books that investigators can use to charge suspects with soliciting children online. However, he believes we need a law to try to prevent child sex crimes before they happen. "There are laws for soliciting children online and these predators should be convicted to the fullest extent of the law, but that's after the fact," said Cooper. "That's after they have solicited the child. This law works to put a preventive barrier, to prevent that sex offender from going online to start with."

ew South" on the state of orth Carolina following the close of the Civil War, historian John G. Barrett notes that "the state's detachment from the main contours of Southern plantation life and orthern free-labor society contributed greatly to its future status after Lee's surrender in 1865." 1 As this statement indicates, orth Carolina, once part of the southern Confederacy, faced numerous problems associated with its isolation and the downfall of plantation life which depended heavily on slavery.
At the beginning of the "War Between the States," only seven percent of households in orth Carolina owned slaves, but as the war progressed, this number rose sharply throughout most of the state. Yet poor farmers concentrated primarily on the production of foodstuffs for their own households and found it very difficult to deliver their goods to the main towns and cities, due to the fact that railroads had not yet penetrated…...

Women and the Home Front in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee during the Civil War
This paper examines the living conditions and attitudes that shaped the lives of the women in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee during and after the American Civil War. The thesis statement should deal with the breakdown of long standing ties between the people of the mountains as they chose to fight for the Confederacy or the Union. In the pre-war years, these close ties had become strong out of a mutual attempt to try to built a life in the rugged environment they encountered. ased on primary and secondary documentary evidence, this paper will investigate how could friends and family become bitter enemies and how this process played out in the mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee to better understand what the women went through while their brothers, husbands and fathers…...

fall, it is my intention to attend the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. UNC Wilmington is my first choice among schools because it has the right mix of education, social, climate and setting. What I appreciate most is the UNC-Wilmington approach to learning, where the school seeks to offer a high end education that rivals research-first schools. Having such an excellent education in a student-focused school is a major attraction for me, since I want to be in a place where my studies come first.
Academically, my strengths are in mathematics and sciences. This means that I can contribute to the academic excellence of the student body in a number of ways, although my preference is to study either occupational or physical therapy.

In the end, North Carolina seems to suffer from many of the ills experienced by the country at large. Although it is, without doubt, a state blessed with a high level of natural beauty as well as economic prosperity, it is also seriously affected by political and environmental issues that impact the lives of its citizens in very negative ways. hether the state will become increasingly mired in dollar-driven industrial and budgetary problems, or whether the state will eventually pull ahead of its neighbors in dealing with those issues will remain to be seen. One can only hope that a state with as rich a history, and blessed with such potential, will eventually triumph over the problems it currently faces, and arise clean and efficient in the years ahead.

Background InformationOn the low coastal lands of the eastern part of North Carolina, many people, including families in some rural parts daily, must be confronted by lousy smells from hog or pig farms that occupy large tracks of land in the State. People have often covered their noses and mouths using handkerchiefs or masks to reduce the saturated odor, usually waiting for them to step outside. Even a small amount of mist of pig or hog mature when sprayed in farms; it sprinkles nearby vehicles, hanging clothes on the line, homes, and even on people\\\'s faces and hair.This environmental pollution problem started majorly in 1982 in counties of North Carolina. By 1997, over 95% of swine farming was all carried out in the eastern side counties of the coast low-lands (Edwards et al., p215). Most large-scale farms, referred to as CAFOs, rear thousands of these animals. These CAFO farms in…...

history slavery North Atlantic British colonies United States
Observations egarding Slavery

One of the primary methods of resistance for people of African descent who existed in servitude in the North Atlantic British colonies and in the United States was rebellion. Although far from occurring frequently, armed, violent revolt from chattel slaves helped to shape the history of their descendants in these locations. One of the most notorious of these uprisings was known as the Southampton Insurrection led by Nat Turner in Virginia's Southampton County in August of 1831. The effect of Turner's armed insurrection, and those of others in the Southern United States and in other North Atlantic British colonies can be evidenced in the amended legislature which ultimately influenced the future and perception of both slaves and former slaves for several years to come.

Turner's 1831 rebellion was just the latest in the lengthy list of historical uprisings slaves of African…...

Native Art of North and Meso America
The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between native North American art and the art of Mesoamerica? Is an exchange of artistic influences seen between these two neighboring regions?

etween 20,000 and 30,000 years ago, the first inhabitants of the Americas arrived in North America. This time was approximately around the time of the last glacial age. The oceans of the world due to water forming into ice were lower than they presently are and a land bridge approximately 1,000 miles wide connecting Siberia to Alaska formed. This is known as the ering land bridge. Some of these new inhabitants settled in North America and others migrated to Central and South America. There were great civilizations flourishing throughout the Americas at different times and in different locations. (Education Department of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 2000, paraphrased)

British colonizers took a different approach as compared to Dutch and French settlers in America. The former actively pursued their apparent "God-given" power to carry out farming, fishing and hunting activities within Native Americans' lands and water resources.
Chesapeake and Middle Colonies

The region lying between the Chesapeake (i.e., Virginia and Maryland) and the New England colonies encompassed New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware (i.e., "middle colonies") which were formerly Dutch colonies. By the year 1670, the largely-Protestant migrant group from the Netherlands boasted the world's biggest mercantile fleet as well as the loftiest living standards. They were in control of trade in the northern European region and grew into one among the most liberal and multicultural European communities, in addition to being the British's fiercest rival in international trade. They welcomed and supported religious and cultural diversity unlike a majority of America's other colonizers from the European continent.

South and the North of the 19th Century
Dear Trevor,

As I write this, I can hear faint yells and cheers through my window. Somewhere, the city of Charleston still celebrates. You'll have heard why by the time my letter arrives. Secession. It was no secret that it would happen when Lincoln, that great ape, was elected. As many years as we've been on the receiving end of Yankee insults and "compromises," I wonder why we took so long.

You and I have talked about our peculiar institution, and I know you disapprove, but then, you have not been around Negroes. They are not our equals. They need us to care for them and direct them, and we need them to work the fields and keep our farms and plantations running. There is no immorality, no terrible sin. Merely an advantageous arrangement for both sides. But the Yankees don't see it that way.…...

While people often lump the American colonies together, there were significant differences between the New England colonies, Middle colonies, and Southern colonies. These differences were not only geographical, but also based in who had the grants for the colonies, their favor in the British government, and who eventually settled in the lands. These differences initially impacted how successful the American colonies were and how prosperous they would become. They eventually impacted industrialization and, in many ways, could be cited as one of the root causes of the eventual American Civil War and even some of....
