Is Human Nature Inherently Violent
889 words
Anger is only one letter short of danger, yet it
varies from angel by only one letter. Anger causes
a great deal of harm. The question still remains,
Is human nature inherently violent? Many arguments
have been made to both support and invalidate this
theory. As humans, we cannot escape the legacy of
our evolutionary ancestors. On the other hand, we
are also the most intelligent of all animals
discrediting the idea that humans are inherently
violent. Unlike animals, who rely on the fight or

conclusions suggest that the likelihood of gay

friends. I had a lot of pen-pals. Also, I had no
problems with essays during my grade school years.
I did not need much time to create an essay, or a
journal, or something else for my writing class.
The older I become, the more difficult it gets for
me to write. Perhaps, I have more problems, needs,

Poem Begins Hollow Men
943 words
The imagery depicted in T. S. Eliot's poem "The
Hollow Men" evokes a sense of desolate
hopelessness and lends to Eliot's generally
cynical view of civilization during this period in
history. A reaction of deep and profound
disappointment in mankind around him is made
evident in this stark work, first published in
1925. In this short piece, Eliot enumerates
several deep faults he finds in his fellowman,
including hypocrisy, apathy and indifference, and
leaves the reader with a feeling of overwhel...

Anti Semitism Gas Chambers

Throughout the movie, The Holocaust, the phrase, I
just do my job, was usually the only excuse most
people who committed crimes against the Jews could
come up with. For example, when Helena and Rudy
Weiss were staying in Kiev, the city was bombed.
During the bombing, one of the Nazi soldiers, who
happened to be Heinz Muller, a friend of Ingas
family, was hit by falling debris. Hesitant, Rudy
helped Muller escape from the collapsing building,
gave him some water, and asked him why he was

Are Human Rights Universal

The notion that human rights are universal stems
from the philosophical view that human rights are
inextricably linked to the preservation of human
dignity. This means that respect for individual
dignity is due equally to one and all, regardless
of circumstance. In this way, human rights must
apply universally. This is clearly the thrust

Choices We Make Human Behavior

Suppose that every event or action has a
sufficient cause, which brings that event about.
Today, in our scientific age, this sounds like a
reasonable assumption. After all, can you imagine
someone seriously claiming that when it rains, or
when a plane crashes, or when a business succeeds,
there might be no cause for it? Surely, human
behavior is caused. It doesn't just happen for no
reason at all. The types of human behavior for
which people are held morally accountable are

Critique Of Pure Reason Operating System

But if the mind actively generates perception,
this raises the question whether the result has
anything to do with the world, or if so, how much.
The answer to the question, unusual, ambiguous, or
confusing as it was, made for endless trouble both
in Kant's thought and for a posterity trying to
figure him out. To the extent that knowledge
depends on the structure of the mind and not on
the world, knowledge would have no connection to
the world and is not even true representation,
just a solipsis...
