Imperialism: A State Of Powerlessness
Words: 818 - Pages: 3.... were to occur in India, then only the British in India would suffer, most likely with their lives. The British might win the battle in the long run, but there would be a great number of British casualties in India before the British attacked from Great Britain. The British in India know that they will suffer if they push the Indians too far. This fact is why the British do not do anything when the Indians harass them. Orwell’s lack of power, as an authority figure, is seen when he says, “When a nimble Burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous l .....

Abortion, The Pope And Peter S
Words: 1571 - Pages: 6.... must follow the ten commandments to live a good life and have eternal life. “Jesus replied, ‘If you would enter life, keep the commandments’” (Mt 19:17). The first of these ten commandments is “You shall not kill”. On the contrary, you should ‘love respect and promote life’ (The Gospel of Life, Paul II). In order to do this, one must carry out God’s plan of procreation with love and intentions to multiply. By having an abortion, one is doing the exact opposite. Not only are they killing an innocent human being, but they are killing a child of God. Also, man is not the final judge in matters such as life and death, he is o .....

Should Defense Spending Be Decreased
Words: 1291 - Pages: 5.... spending cuts cite the end of the Cold War with Russia and the resulting diminished need for troops and military hardware. Without the threat of nuclear war with Russia, the United States should not need to spend as much money as it had in the past to protect against a threat that no longer existed. Anti-missile defense systems could be eliminated or scaled back, fewer troops would need to be kept on alert, and antiquated hardware could be destroyed and need not be replaced. The Center for Defense Information, a Washington D.C. think tank, points out that the US was able to defeat Iraq in 1991 using only 17 percent of active and reserve p .....

Smoke Free Restaurants
Words: 608 - Pages: 3.... all restaurants to install air purifier/cleaners. Non-
smoking restaurants, enclosed smoking sections and required air purifier/cleaners offer different
ways to eliminate dining in a smokey restaurant.
Creating restaurants as non-smoking would avoid the problem of nicotine odors ruining
many meals. The Onion, located in downtown Spokane, requires that all smoking be done in the
bar area. The bar is separated from the main restaurant by a gate. I ate lunch at this restaurant,
and while I was there smoke from the bar drifted to my table and spoiled my lunch. The non-

Words: 550 - Pages: 2.... in most big cities in Canada. So it
is not necessary to separate in order to protect French culture and language.
Furthermore if French-Canadian wants to avoid any influence from other culture,
France is the greatest place for them.
Moreover, the Canada government will lose money if Quebec separates by
dealing with the separation affairs, like to help people in Quebec back to
Canada who do not want to separate. Separation also leads to the decreasing of
trade in Canada, and even the whole world. Quebec is a big trade market in
Canada. People will lose this big market if Quebec is no longer a province of
Canada. This will not .....

Justice
Words: 834 - Pages: 4.... high emotion was
apparent when dealing with the facts in the murder of a Topeka police officer.
In the recent trial Steven Shively was prosecuted for shooting a police officer.
The prosecutor was caught up in the media and emotional hype of this case. She
apparently thought that she could win simply because a police officer was shot
and the public was behind her. It was a case of public revenge where the mind-

matter that he was defending his home." This type of public revenge could
include the execution of Shively. No matter what verdict would have been

Sexual Pressures
Words: 851 - Pages: 4.... sexuality. So for males who are into sports they are subjected to a host of pressures and can as a result do things they would not normally do. On the contrary, I found that females who do sports are far less pressured and influenced about sex. In fact they are far less likely to be sexually active than teen females who do not participate in sports. I believe that all teens in general should know the results of being a sexually active teen. There are many consequences of being sexually active, one of the major one being sexually transmitted diseases. A sexually transmitted disease might not sound so bad but, some can cause sterility and even .....
