A Civil Rebuttal
Words: 766 - Pages: 3.... caused. I would not of course
go so far as to say a civil war between the generations within this house, but
moreover to express that simply by me using philosophy, it becomes not only my
benefit, but a mutualism between us.
Please feel more than obliged to correct me if I am incorrect (morally
or politically) but are we not all philosophers ourselves? As a baker's
vocation is to bake, a philosopher's vocation is to think. Is it not that we
all think? I was deeply saddened at your comments in the oppression and
restriction to what I may or may not strive to think. As a pacifist and non-
sadist, I call what you believe in as ‘ingr .....

TV Trash?
Words: 957 - Pages: 4.... trash, but that is why I think we watch them. Bennett believes in old time values that if you can’t see it, it won’t happen. He comes form the past on his point of view with a “shhh” don’t tell attitude. This is why Bennett wants to abolish daytime television altogether.
Bennett claims that daytime TV is the problem in our society today. Children are watching and learning the immoral truths of today’s society. But ask yourself where are those children’s parents? Bennett wants to eliminate the talk shows so then our culture can be cleansed, but are the talk shows to blame for our so-called culture rot. Shouldn’t w .....

To Help The Poor
Words: 217 - Pages: 1.... Perhaps people in the industrialised
countries think these charity aids are needless, because the government
donates a share of its budget to help the developing countries. Yet
governments cut their foreign aid, the multinational companies take even
higher adventage of the cheap labour force in the developing countries and
if , after all, people think the future will offer equal chances for
everybody without any help from the rich, awakening from this fantasy is
needed.
The information the media give is inadequate, therefore people
should obtain information spontaneously. Yet, common people find it
frustrating, if the inf .....

Words: 2458 - Pages: 9.... the Jesuits.
The Native Indians were among the first people to enter North America. They entered America through the passage of the Bering Strait, a location which is the midpoint of Alaska and Siberia.

Alfred Bailey mentions that, "It had been suggested that Siouans, the Iroquoians and Algonquians were among the first to enter America."1 Before the Europeans arrived, there were many native tribes that were already settled. By the time Europeans arrived in North America, they found natives occupying large amounts of land.2 The Indians helped start the .....

Animosity In Children's Sports
Words: 1208 - Pages: 5.... In professional sports, fans who get out of
control often buy themselves an escorted walk out of the stadium.
Likewise, coaches and players also have consequences for acting
inappropriately. Coaches are subjected to game ejections or ineligibility
to return as a coach the following year. Players hold the responsibility
to behave appropriately also, and may face a game suspension and other
penalties. Parents often claim immunity to these consequences, and with
that privileged state of mind proceed to shred the rules of sportsmanship.
People like this often make the game unpleasant for others. These
overanxious parents take over the ro .....

The Homeless In England
Words: 1202 - Pages: 5.... thought, before I went to England, that every homeless person was that by
his/her own choice, but after talking to them and read about it I know that some
of the homeless is that by their own choice. They choose to be homeless for
different reasons, like a protest against the society or just to try the
homeless life.
25% of the homeless are war veterans and most of them from Vietnam. They are
mentally traumatised by their war experiences, some of them are disable and
others are just unable to find work so they can pay a rent.
25% of the homeless are children and many of them are alone. They're maybe run-
aways who left home because th .....

"Young women may feel unwelcome in science classes for a number of reasons: examples and applications are most often masculine, interactions sanction male dominance, science content appears to have no connection to women's experience, and competition is emphasized over collaboration (Taylor and Sweetnam). So what do the teachers who positively influence young women do that is so different it completely changes women's view about science? In a study of eighty women who became science teachers, they were asked about the teachers they remember and the most i .....

Foster Children: Happiness Or Heartbreak?
Words: 792 - Pages: 3.... The worst thing about foster families is that foster parents tend to grow attached to the children and then they are heart broken when the children are reunited with their parents. There are those who are willing to take the chance that maybe they will be able to adopt their foster children sometime in the future. However, adoption tends to be an extremely long process because sometimes it is hard to sever the biological parents’ rights to their children. The people who decide to become foster parents are admired by a lot of people, especially because it is known that foster parents endure extreme emotional turmoil. However, one of t .....

Extreme Nationalism
Words: 1544 - Pages: 6.... one such nation-state.
During the first half of the 1990’s, Yugoslavia was torn apart by a brutal civil war. This brings up the national question of relationships between multiple ethnic groups within one state’s territory. The violent breakup in Yugoslavia demonstrates that the multinational entities, located within the state, lack the ability to execute legal principles or guidelines to avoid the destruction caused by war.
The former Yugoslavia was built to address three fundamental aspects of the national question. The first is a nation’s right to build up its own state through demands for national self-determination. Second, t .....
