Furthermore, the reputations of the colleges that these student-athletes attend suffer from the negative national publicity that occurs when student-athletes lose their NCAA eligibility by contracting with sports agents.

Law Of Nature State Of Nature
1,165 wordsThe best way to summarize my political views would to say I am libertarian. I believe in the rights on an individual and that they have a personal responsibility for their own well being. I believe in free-market economy of abundance and prosperity. Like other libertarians, I want a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade. A single leader should not govern a whole nation which is full of different views. The government should be smaller and less in control of our social lives a...

Paradoxically perhaps (at least for the Hobbesian who understands only negative freedom), the dancer's freedom of expression requires years of disciplined practice and study. Again, the dancer becomes ever more free to express his or her ideas, feelings, etc. - the more he or she undertakes the rules of long practice, proper diet, etc. As another example: as drivers of automobiles, we all share the same goal: we...

Sitting on top of the chair with my special boost, I would stare at my reflection in the mirror. Snip, snip, snip went the barber+s scissors, and my hair would fall, fall, fall. I didn+t have a problem with the scissors part; it was the razor I loathed. But I had no choice. The razor scraped at the side of my head an...

Life On Earth Kilometers In Diameter
1,119 wordsWhat would happen if the moon was destroyed? I have often wondered what would happen if the moon were destroyed and how it would be destroyed. Would a crazy scientist nuke it? Maybe an asteroid would hit it. Astronomers have catalogued all large objects in space that are larger than 500 kilometers in diameter and non-of them seem to be headed towards our moon. Based on this information, the only conclusion that I can come up with, was if the moon was to be blown up by some crazy scientist. Many ...

Majority Of The Population Democratic Society
493 wordsHenry David Thoreau often took extreme positions on the issue of government and its role in society. To this somewhat rebellious transcendentalist, government should not govern people at all and law was often meant to be broken. Thoreau's belief in individualism was so strong in fact that it seems he often took sides on an in issue simply to be in favor of the minority, whether the majority was right or wrong. Certainly, it is important for one to be himself and stand up for what he believes in....

Fascist Party Prime Minister
2,660 wordsOn the 23 March 1919 after a series of Communist demonstrations, the almost forgotten Mussolini decided to attempt to revive his Fascist movement. A meeting was held in a hall in a Milan and was attended by some fifty malcontents. From this seemingly small and insignificant event the Fascist di Combattimento (Combat Group) was born.
