Rights toward Equality: Fair for Homosexuals or Not?

1894 words - 8 pages Throughout the United States there are many rights that should be practiced by everyday citizens, but there are many people that would not agree to that statement. Homosexuality has gone the distance in the past two decades and is finally being accepted by most people. Although it is being accepted, most rights that have been passed have not been equal to that of non-homosexuals. Discrimination towards homosexuals is the most problematic topic, for the very reason, they have been mistreated and/ or bullied by others for not being considered the norm. The way homosexuals do something, communicate, stride, and so on are being put on the line and should not be taken as being different. Equality... VIEW DOCUMENT

It's Time to Stop Waiting for Superman

1114 words - 4 pages In 1938, the brainchild of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster first appeared in Action Comics. Deemed Superman, the mythical hero was dedicated to fight for social justice and overthrow tyranny. Soon after, his iconic flashy red cape and blue tights graced the shelves of comic shops as he flew straight into the hearts and minds of fellow Americans faster than a speeding bullet. In spite of being a very foreign immigrant, Superman has long been portrayed as a loyal patriot fighting for "truth, justice and the American way". Through the years however, the meaning of “American way” has become increasingly complicated not only in superhero comics but in modern society as well. The... VIEW DOCUMENT

It's Time for West Virginia to Eliminate Food Tax

1922 words - 8 pages It's Time for West Virginia to Eliminate Food Tax Can you recall an incident in American history involving disgruntled citizens dumping tea into the Boston Harbor? I can. This tea dumping was one of the foremost events of the revolution. Do you remember why these angry citizens dressed as Indians, stormed one of their own boats, and dumped all of the crates of tea into the harbor? The English monarchy’s taxing of the settlers’ tea caused this uprising. Right now, West Virginia’s government is levying an almost identical tax; the government is taxing the very food that West Virginians eat for survival. Doesn’t the government tax enough each year without taxing something that is required... VIEW DOCUMENT

It's Time for Girls and Boys to Plays Sports Together

1146 words - 5 pages It's Time for Girls and Boys to Plays Sports Together On the athletic field, in the gym, or on the ice, there have always been standards for the athletes to follow. These standards range from what type of athletic equipment is not only necessary but appropriate, to who can play when, where, and how. This last standard is the one that is being challenged the most; can men play not only on women’s teams, but can they also participate in female dominated sports without being taunted? The same goes for women, can females, without fear, really participate in traditionally male dominated sports? Although the social costs to the individual participating in the non-traditional sport are many,... VIEW DOCUMENT

It's Time to Make Drugs Legal for Personal Use

658 words - 3 pages It's Time to Make Drugs Legal for Personal Use Drugs are such a controversy and people have such strong opinions about whether they should be legal or illegal. I don’t have a strong opinion on this topic; I’m easily swayed. For the most part though, I think that they should be legalized because people do it anyways and if they were legal the government could regulate their use and sale more, the government should be receiving the profits of the drug business rather than dealers, marijuana has most of the same effects as cigarettes, and it’s been proven over and over how prohibition doesn’t seem to work.

To Clone or Not To Clone... This is a essay against cloning and includes some references to genetic engineering.. It's loosely based on the persona of a political leader

1476 words - 6 pages Cloning and genetic engineering is a topic of much controversy in today's society. There are many religions that believe that cloning and/or genetic engineering should simply not be done because of the fact that it's not "God's (or whomever else they believe in) way". However, this is not the only cause of the controversy in regards to cloning and genetic engineering. Many others believe it is against human ethics and could be dangerous to society. This is clearly a worthy claim, which many people may believe is more valuable than the concern that it is against God's way of how humanity should work. Not only should cloning not be made illegal, but the methods and knowledge of cloning... VIEW DOCUMENT

How does this affect the educators, the child and other children?

"The Idea Of Mutually Assured Destruction As A Reason For Superpowers Not To Attack Each Other"

655 words - 3 pages The basis for no nuclear strikes between the two superpowers was that there existed a psychology known as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). This was the philosophy that both nations understood. They both knew that they held the power to destroy each other completely in the event of an attack. This struck fear in the hearts of both nations, causing little reaction to the current situation. This theory was based on three different ideas. One being that both nations had enough weapons to destroy the other. The second being, both nations can detect a first strike before it arrives. Finally, both nations are able to respond adequately before they are hit by the first strike. This leads right... VIEW DOCUMENT

This cohesion must be present on a number of different levels, from the factory floor, right up to the corporate objectives and targets as defined by the management.One area of... VIEW DOCUMENT
