Waiting For Godot Human Life
599 words
The purpose of human life is an unanswerable
question. It seems impossible to find an answer
because we don't know where to start looking. To
us, existence seems to be something imposed on us
by an unknown force. There seems to be no reason
for it, therefore making the world seem croatia.
For this reason, society tries to make meaning of
it by materialistic purposes to distract us from
the fact that it is actually a hopeless and
mysterious predicament. Samuel Beckett's two act
play, "Waiting For...

... an Swift: Misguided and Incorrect Criticisms
Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) is quite possibly the
greatest satirist in the history of English
literature, and is without question the most
controversial. Infuriated by the moral degradation
of society in the eighteenth century, Swift wrote
a plethora of bitter pieces attacking man's
excessive pride, and the critical reception has
been one of very mixed reviews. While few question
Swift's skill as a satirist, his savage, merciless
attacks on the f...

Terminally Ill Patients Legalize Euthanasia

Voluntary euthanasia is a very contentious issue
in todays society. This is where a terminally ill
patients life is ended at their request. The law
allows doctors to withdraw treatment or administer

euthanasia is still considered a serious crime.
Advocates of euthanasia argue that it prevents
terminally-ill patients from pointlessly suffering
and that it lets them die with dignity. For
