Why did working people get five day workweeks?
American workers do NOT have a five day week. FLSA establishes a seven day workweek during which the employer can assign you to work as many days as it wishes, without extra cost. Overtime is due - for some - only after 40 HOURS, not for a sixth DAY on the job.
The weekend is a TRADITION, not recognized in statute. Unions may have wanted it, but Congress never gave it - employers did so gradually.
It has been a gradual development, mostly brought about in the Western world by labor unions in their negotiations with industries about pay rises and working conditions, on the work floor and off. The general idea was that 'good working conditions' also implied that employees got enough time off to recharge their batteries, so to speak.
In the Sixties of the 20th century it was still completely normal for Western world companies (and schools) to be open and working until Saturday afternoon.
Of course the last two decades have shown a re-emergence of the 24 hour-economy and of people having to make themselves available for their boss at all hours, thanks to the progress of digital technology.
What are the merits and problems of a multicultural society?
The problems of living in a multicultural society would be that people would want things done how it is done in their own culture and not how it is done in others' cultures; different people would have different views on how things should be done.
Should social security be privatized?
No.
Had this project moved forward the money would likely have gone to firms like AIG, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers. They have, as a an oligopoly, an extraordinary conflict of interest in that they can create or cause to be created, paper that appears on the face to have value but ultimately does not. They can then cause your retirement assets to be used to purchase this valueless paper at extraordinary personal profit today while future generations learn that it is worthless long after the fact of the swindle. Privatizing Social Security is the most efficient way to secure retirement in the future. Investments would be restricted to insured municipals.Government Bonds and selected high grade corporation dividends. Ex: I calculated my SS contributions and matching contributions by my employers during my working life and estimated that these contributions invested, as suggested above, would have yielded $750,000 at retirement. Given a very low 3% return during retirement would yield $22,500 per year and my heirs would inherit $750,000 at my death. Our government would subsidize the transition for approximately 25years and then be free of the entitlement forever, similar to a mortgage. This would start at age 40 and all those qualified for SS over 40 would continue to participate in the present system.
Which country exhibits the most political equality between the sexes?
As of the 2013 United Nations Development Report Gender Inequality Index ratings, the most gender-equal country (and thus politically gender-equal) is Slovenia, with a value of 0.021 GII. It is followed by Switzerland (0.030), Germany(0.046), Sweden (0.054), Denmark (0.056), and Austria (0.056). Other countries which have had female heads of government or heads of state, and thus significant political gender equality, include the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, Argentina, Liberia, Ukraine, France, Israel, and Turkey.
No, firing someone is legal. It was your choice to have the argument. When you have a miscarriage in the first trimester it's usually because the embryo isn't viable. It would probably have happened sooner or later anyways.
What is the role of veterinarian in the growth of society?
They will help look after your pets and animals also they help in oil spills and other environmental disasters including animals.
Where is an example of a petition for review to Oregon Supreme Court?
In most(all?) states (and I doubt that Oregon is any different) these are not a pre-printed, fill-in-the-blanks, type of form. Each petition would have to be specfically worded to relate to the case for which it is submitted. If you plan on trying to go to the State Supreme Court I'm sure you must have an attorney - ask them.
What is the role of the Royal Bahamas Police Force?
Just like any police force, they uphold the law, maintain order and peace, protect civilians and apprehend criminals. Their website is full of information regarding themselves and their mission
What is significance of the last meal before death?
If you are talking about Christ's last meal, it was meant to symbolize the pact God had made with all humanity. The Wine represented Jesus' blood, and the unleavened bread represented his body that was offered as a perfect sacrifice to save humanity from the slavery to death that we were all destined to follow since Adam sinned. God loved us so much that he gave his son for all humanity, would you have done that? Just something to think about.
No. Boxer is a California member of federal Congress and has no authority over local police in CAlifornia, Georgia or anywhere else.
The ACLU has repeatedly alleged -without evidence - that it is illegal for CObb County law enforcement to comply with a federal program that allows local cops to notify ICE when illegal aliens are arrested.
Were Senator Boxer involved, she would certainly congratulate the Cobb County sheriff for complying with federal-local cooperation programs and eliminating illegal alien felons from the USA.

Human imprisonment is not bad, the people who are housed in the prison are bad. A prison is basically just like a naughty corner, if you do something wrong you go in the naughty corner, serve your time there and come out. If they behaved in the first place they would not have ended up there.
The police can file charges against you for anything, at any time, for any action: unlike the movies and TV shows (and in violation of constitutional standards), you then must prove you didn't do whatever they are accusing you of.
Has a person rights to anyones house when lived as man and wife?
That depends on who has title to the premises, marital status, when the property was acquired and state laws. If you lived with a person who already owned their own home, then split up, you would not acquire any interest in their home.

Is Israel violating human rights?
Yes. Israel is violating numerous human rights, especially in the West Bank Territories and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians in the West Bank often have to deal with the problems of military occupation and often have to deal with the following types of human rights violations: Lack of Freedom of Movement (Curfews, Checkpoints, and Searches), Lack of Freedom of Assembly (Protests and Riots are strongly curbed), Lack of Right to Self-Defense (Weapons are denied to Palestinian Civilians - save police), and Violations of Personal Privacy (Israeli soldiers will squat in Palestinian homes).
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live under an Israeli blockade that effectively prevents the influx of necessary materials to build a viable economy.
However, it is worth noting that Israel is not one of the major violators of human rights and often gets more flack for its actions than many more significant violators including: Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, China, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Turkey, Uganda, Vietnam, etc.
Israel also protects numerous human rights denied in many other countries such as: the Right to an Abortion, Women's Rights, Right to Vote, Right to Freedom of Speech and the Press, Right to Bring Claims before a Court (the Israeli Supreme Court also accepts Palestinian Cases making it the only Supreme Court in the world to extend civil jurisdiction to a militarily occupied region), the Right to Sexual Freedom (including recognition of Homosexual Marriages), and the Freedom of Religion.
Whether you can get legal aid for divorces in TN depends on what types of cases your local Legal Aid office handles. Since I don't know what county you're in, the best I can do is refer you to the Guide to Tennessee Courts - Legal Aid and Lawyer Referral, the related link below. There you will find links to some statewide organizations that provide legal services. Click one of them to get the organization's web page, which will have links to local offices. Many of them will have websites that explain what types of cases they handle - and if they don't, they will at least have contact information so you can call them and ask.

Natural Law is a theory of how law should be. However, in Canada, for example, the law that is actually practiced in courts is a combination of natural and positivist law. To answer your question more directly, Natural Law is not true law, but rather a contributor to it.
Natural law is described as a higher law derived naturally from a universal understanding that certain choices made and actions taken by humans are right or wrong. Natural law is a system of justice for all societies, regardless of their individual culture or customs. Thomas Hobbes described natural law as the way in which a rational human who is seeking to survive and prosper would act. Some people view it as divine law pursuant to the teachings of Thomas Acquinas . Natural law influenced the development of English common law and also the Declaration of Independence of the United States.
Human rights are the rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to. They spring from the concept of natural rights which in turn, spring from natural law.
Natural rights is a complicated topic with many facets and the concept dates back at least to lateAntiquity. Briefly, natural rights have been described as universal, inalienable rights that all people are entitled to regardless of political and legal institutions and beyond the authority of secular or religious authorities. Some people recognize no difference between natural rights and human rights which include: life, liberty and property; freedom from oppression; self determination; religious freedom; equality; privacy.
One school of thought holds that in the natural state only the strongest can benefit from their natural rights so people form a social contract ceding their natural rights to an authority (government) to protect them from abuse by the stronger individuals.
This is an interesting topic on which to do some reading.
"A man [must] be willing, when others are so too, as far forth, as for peace, and defence of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself." Thomas Hobbes
