Takes Care Taking Care
754 words
I am writing to you in response to the essay that
appeared in the first issue of Ms in 1971 entitled
I Want a Wife by Judy Brady. I believe that the
author of this essay does exaggerate the position
a wife holds in the home, but not too greatly.
This was written in 1971, when Im sure a wifes
position was much more subservient than it is
today. But a lot of the claims she makes still
hold true in todays society. A wife to Mrs. Brady
is someone who does basically everything, or in
her words takes ...

Nature And Nurture Men And Women
1,302 words
The controversy over what determines who we are,
whether it is Nature (heredity, our biological
make up) or Nurture (our environment) is taking a
new shape. Through the past decades, psychologists
have developed different theories to explain the
characteristics of human-beings; how we feel,
think and behave. Usually, these theories were one
directional in the nature / nurture question.
Today, a new approach to deal with this question
is emerging. This new approach finds a middle
ground between n...

Kill The Pig Modern Society
510 words
Lord of the flies is an extremely psychologically
involved novel that forces the reader to
constantly think. It plays mind games and displays
some frankly blunt ideas. It provokes thought by
constantly alluding to the thematic side of the
novel. Golding uses the island to show the evil in
man, that society holds everyone together, and
that man learns nothing from his mistakes. We are
made to think about man himself. The boys that
enter the island are perfectly normal, they are
not evil or bad in...

as one of the most celebrated of New York

Frank Lloyd Wright One With Nature

It was a cool spring day with a light soothing
breeze, flowers were blooming, the grass as green
as it could be. The light glistened off the
mesmerizing surroundings, and the babbling brook
whispers in the distance. This is what Frank Lloyd

with a new project. His love for nature is so
profound and strong he says, I believe in god,
only I spell it nature (quotations 1). Wright

God Does Not Exist Exist In Reality
1,305 words
Saint Anselm's ontological argument seeks to
provide an a priori proof (proposition which can
be known or justified independent of experience)
of God's existence. However, Gaunilo, a
contemporary of Anselm and a fellow Catholic,
argued that Anselm's ontological argument is
invalid, because an argument of the same form
could have true premises and a false conclusion
therefore, he introduced perfect island argument
which is perfectly parallel to ontological
argument. In this paper, I will discuss ...

Cannibalism, what do you think of it? Is it
morally correct? Does the theory of ethical
relativism support it or does it knock it down?

name of Daniel went to South America, for the
reasons of writing a book on it and publishing it

Helena Bonham Carter Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet
731 words
Mel Gibson and Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of
Hamlet has filled some of the gaps left by
Shakespeare. This version of the classic story is
thoroughly watchable. This is "Hamlet for the 90
s, " according to the director, and it is an
especially entertaining version. With much of the
text diced, the pace quickened, and the action
streamlined, the film offers what amounts to an
introduction to Shakespeare's classic, without
losing any of the play's psychological
complexities. Gibson is perfect a...

very attractive, but once I fell in love with him,
his presence turned to perfection. I have tried,

The money paid to the tax authorities by the

compensate for the lower price paid. Its because
of this complication that the incidence of the tax
