           | More Freedom Or Safety -- What Would You Choose? Words: 589 - Pages: 3
 .... and safety that I presently have, I would
want to continue living the way that I currently live.  I do think that
individual freedom  in the United States means the freedom to pursuit and
attain one’s individual potential and that the possession of firearms or
weapons by a student in a school is in no way in keeping with that idea.
Additionally, many students probably are incapable of properly using a gun
and that makes it even more dangerous for them to have one.  Even though
Bishop Eustace does not have metal detectors nor are the students searched
when they enter a building, I think that if this is what would be necessary
to ensure th .....

 .... things started brutal.  My hands and legs started hurting and getting sore.  It usually would only take me about 2-3 minutes to get to the cafeteria from the Academic Building, but instead, it took me about 15 minutes with the walker.  People were kind enough, however, to open the doors for my partner and I.
As we entered the cafeteria, I noticed people looking at us sympathetically and some very arrogantly.  One person in particular couldn’t stop starring at me.  The way he was looking at me upset me and made me a bit annoyed.  In my mind I felt like hitting him with my walker, but my good sense told me it is not a good idea.  B .....

 | Let Me Decide: The Right To Die Words: 841 - Pages: 4
 .... it is for the dying to leave their loved ones behind. The dying have accepted their illness or situation and are aware of their impending death.
I do not think I would want to be kept alive by machines if I was in a terrible accident, or suffered an incurable disease.   I do know that I would not want to feel pain or discomfort.    The lecture brought back some bad memories.  A few years ago I found it most difficult to hear about the invasive test and procedures performed on my grandmother when everyone involved knew she had stomach cancer and it had spread to her bladder.  It seemed cruel to insist an 89-year-old woman, who was confuse .....

 | Racism Words: 1343 - Pages: 5
 .... sex, or
age become the reason of prejudice.
	Sociologists, historians, anthropologists and archeologists believe
racial discrimination happens more often and most harshly when two groups
with different skin colours and unique physical features come into contact
with each other and the two compete for the same thing. History shows that
all attempts at  a racial  dominance result in conflict and avoidance.
But, some communities   without  disturbed racial conflict can take
advantage of all its citizens potential and move toward elimination.
	Our hate is caused by witnessing the behaviour of the Ku Klux Klan,
our unfavourable feeling .....

 .... to obtain new members, is through chat lines on the internet. A recorded conversation between a member of the Divine Light Mission, Fire-Shade, and an 18-year old boy, Jay 18, was obtained off of the site, IRC Teen Chat.
Jay18: I am a really great poet, but all of the kids in my class are pretty warped about it. I basically hide it from them because I don't need that hassle.  
Fire-Shade: My family has a great respect for the artist inside us all. I know you live in Michigan, and our family could always use new operatives all over the world. You have to understand what our family is about, it is about always fitting in and never hiding the .....

 .... spent the first few years of
his life in care of the women in his family.  At the age of  7 years old, a
child of noble birth would be placed in the castle of a lord or govenor.
This is where the training for knighthood began.  As a page, the boy would
be tutored in Latin and French, but he devoted most of his time to physical
exersice, and duties.  A page was educated in wrestling, tilting with

 .... socialness includes dances, special theme parties, dinners and
vacations.  The couples who attend are also interested in learning about
relationships, meeting new friends and for exposure to something new.  One of
the most common misconceptions is that people come just to have sex. However,
this is an option at Dave and Dawn's club. Their club is known as an ‘on-site'
club.  This means that Dave and Dawn provide bedrooms for their members'
enjoyment.
	"Ours is an on-premise club.  We have bedrooms where sex does take place,
but only if it is consensual.  We do not force our activities on anyone," Dave
said.
	Dave adds that havin .....

 | Changing Of Values From The Hellenic Period To The Hellenistic Period Words: 576 - Pages: 3
 .... individualism.  Individualism is the belief that the individuals needs and interest are the most  important.  This change came about by the growth of Alexander the Greats empire.  Alexander’s empire influenced so many lives because  there were so many different mixes of people, cultures, and beliefs. This mix  eventually changed the Greek and Persian ways of thinking, architecture, and many other aspects of their lives not just the values.
Another change in the Greek values during the change from Hellenic to Hellenistic period was the change from idealism to realism.  They both dealt with the concern for the world.  Idealism is the belie .....

In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the  struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his.  He  reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not  need my freedom when I'm dead.  I cannot live on tomorrow's bread."   He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise  or fear.
I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American  immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." .....
