The public is becoming accustomed to end of life termination scenarios. There is much work being done to create case law precedents that allow patients who might otherwise live for very long periods of time the right to die. This will be one of the most significant changes of the 21st century. Another significant change that is on the horizon right now is same sex marriages. The state and federal governments have shown a willingness to support same sex marriages by law. The difficulty encountered thus far is that the moral majority continues to be a strong voting block, and has not yet -- except in Connecticut -- supported the change in law to recognize same sex unions on state-by-state basis. It appears though that the move to make same sex marriages legal and to put laws about it on the state books is an eventuality of the 21st century.

...

This is important, because making same sex marriages legal, puts the same sex partners into the higher tax level that is imposed on married couples. Also, same sex couples will inevitably suffer the same social and personal problems as do other heterosexual couples, and the cost of divorce will be high and profitable for divorce lawyers.
The social changes of the 21st century will be less about the well-being and stability of individuals and families in America. It will be about the bottom line, regardless of whether or not it is supported by the majority of Americans, or whether it is in the best interest of Americans as individuals. America is on the slow turn of a dangerous social curve, and there is no room to turn around and go back.

The research concerning Chinese foreign policy to date have therefore focused on the potentially destabilizing impact of China's increasing reliance on imported oil, with a number of researchers citing the South China Sea as a potential region that may experience clashes in the future based on competing claims for resources, especially oil and natural gas reserves, and the affected international actors may resort to military methods to prosecute their

What does the future hold for relations between China and Japan? Given their longstanding disputes and track record of going to war over resources, it would be reasonable to suggest that future relations between China and Japan are going to be characterized by a reluctant, pragmatic trade-off between bi-lateral commerce and the need to hammer out their respective differences over foreign policy current issues on which they currently diverge.

Hence, while ratifying the U.S. Constitution, the Virginia convention passed a resolution specifying: "That the people have a right to keep and bear arms; that a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state;" It is, therefore, clear that the central issue that led to the adoption of the Second Amendment, as part of the
