Selective Service System

American Women have obtained the “right” to fight in the military on the front lines of America's wars. This has resulted in some people asking: Shouldn't women have to register for the draft now, just like the men? A better question: Isn't it time to get rid of the Selective Service System altogether? Our Country may have an all-volunteer military, and conscription may have ended over 40 years ago, since 1973, but the federal government still insists on having our young men, between the ages of 18 and 25, waste their time and register for a draft that does not exist, and subject themselves to being spied on. Not registering for the Selective Service System has potentially lifelong consequences, such as not being able to obtain a federal loan…

Vietnam War in a variety of ways. One of the biggest issues with the Vietnam War for American citizens revolved around the process of “Selective Service” or more commonly known as “The Draft”. President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 (CITE), which created the country 's first draft system and established the Selective Service System as an independent Federal agency.

When he stated he would not serve on April 28, 1967, he was stripped of his boxing heavyweight title. He famously sated “I ain 't got no quarrel with those Vietcong”, a personal sentiment that was a far more reasonable and practical ideal when compared to those who avoided service out of rebellion against the system, or simply to avoid the horrors of war. On June 20th, he was convicted of evading the draft and sentenced to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine and three year ban from…

described in the chapter “On the Rainy River” when the narrator comes twenty feet away from Canadian borders. Tim struggles with this decision while he stared at Canadian borders, “I was off on the margins of exile, leaving my country forever, and it seemed so grotesque and terrible and sad” (O’Brien “OTRR” 48). Americans lost patriotism during the time of the war, due to the loss of freedom found in the draft. Not all soldiers felt the same as Tim, while some soldiers felt an extreme amount of…

Recently, more emphasis is laid upon the services of an organization in an effort to keep up with the volatile market environment and business requirements. Organizations have adopted a “service dominant logic” that focuses on value co-creation through various activities to obtain requirements from both service providers and service consumers (Nam, Kim and Kim, 2010). As a result, service requirements management is becoming one of the critical activities in developing service systems such as…

Diagnosis There are various views on how Selective Mutism should be classified. Some individuals believe that SM should be classified under social anxiety but others disagree. Some studies show that children with SM score lower than children who have a social phobia on the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory (SPAIK), so social anxiety may not be the cause of SM in many cases (Wong, 2010). Other professionals believe that SM should be classified under social phobia because the prognosis for…
