And that means???The Creative Commons enables copyright
holders to grant some of their rights to the public while retaining others through a variety of licensing and contract schemes including dedication to the public domain or open content licensing terms. The intention is to avoid the problems current copyright laws create for the sharing of information.
Homelessless in Major CitiesBy Amanda Lynn, Sociology 101 Spring 2008
Homelessness is a devastating experience for families. It disrupts virtually every aspect of family life, damaging the physical and emotional health of family members, interfering with children’s education and development, and frequently resulting in the separation of family members. The leading cause of homelessness is the inability of poor people to afford housing.
