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

to ensure th .....

Words: 616 - Pages: 3.... 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.

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.

Our hate is caused by witnessing the behaviour of the Ku Klux Klan,
our unfavourable feeling .....

said.
Dave adds that havin .....

In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his.

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." .....
