We can keep improving our current status legally without hurting other people by using our current skills as best as we can and more efficiently. When a system gives an individual the opportunity to improve, then this system will remain moving forward. The free economic system in the United States is progressing and will continue to do so as long as incentive is performed by each individual legally and honestly without any exterior interference or limitations. People have different abilities and skills, therefore, each person has a goal to be achieved .....

Poverty And Welfare
Words: 434 - Pages: 2.... and we cannot? No, on the average
our houses are far larger. Did they have less of a drug and alcohol problem?
Probably not. They did have fewer single-parenting situations - there was less
illegitimacy and divorce then - but life expectancy was lower, so there were
lots of orphans and half-orphans. We're more spread out now, but our travel time
is not any greater.
What I learned leads me to wonder: Why can't we do the same? Were
Americans then a different people than we are today? Have we become so
corrupted that we don't care about others? Have we become so lazy that we are
unwilling to suffer with? I think not. I hope n .....

The Effects Of Television Violence On Children
Words: 610 - Pages: 3.... Others are ignoring it and hoping it will go away. Still others don’t even seem to care. However, the facts are undeniable. The studies have been carried out and all the results point to one conclusion: Television violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life-long.
The information can’t be ignored. Violent television viewing does affect children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar.

Transcendentalism
Words: 544 - Pages: 2.... Ralph Emerson, he experimented with this new found idea. On July fourth he left on an experience to Walden Pond. He spent two years watching, writing, and feeling the power of nature. The only way Thoreau could encounter a relationship with nature was to become one with the way of the woods, streams, ponds, and animals.

Along with the influence of Thoreau, Emerson was further affected by the writings of William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge in their book Lyrical Ballads. Emer .....

Morality: The Pre-existing And Universal Code
Words: 1387 - Pages: 6.... strive to discover and achieve these principals.
Morality should not change over time even though cultures and social
stratifications do, what was morally right three thousand years ago is morally
right today and should be morally right three thousand years from now. Only
with universal principles can we as collective society discover what is right,
what is wrong, and what is best, therefore there exists not modern morality but
simply morality.

morals are culturally relative, it is impossible for us to judge what is best.
Although admitting he does not know what is best .....

Words: 1127 - Pages: 5.... ourselves as distinct Canadians. We need to have a common
idea of what it is to be Canadian rather than always identifying with the place
we came from. We identify with community or region over nation. To gain a
Canadian identity we must learn to identify with a nation, Canada. This is one
of the main reasons we lack a Canadian identity, because we as Canadians do not
really think of ourselves as Canadians. We may be Canadians but we think of
Canada as a place of refuge rather than a home. This ties in with our lack of
patriotism. Many Canadians that I know, come Olympic time or another big world
competition, rather that cheering f .....
