Should Smoking Be Banned In Public Places
710 words
Smoking or Non-Smoking Should There Be A Choice?
Imagine sitting in a restaurant unable to enjoy a
meal due to the cloud of smoke coming from a
neighbors table. The fact that there was not a
designated area for smokers has put the smoker and
the non-smoker in an uncomfortable situation.
Smoking should be banned in public places because
non-smokers have a right to clean air, and because
second hand smoke is more dangerous than actually
smoking a cigarette. However, smoking should not
be banned in...

Opposing Viewpoints Religious Beliefs

Censorship, a controversial word that has been
with us since who knows when. Ancient dictators
would burn books because they didn't like them and
force people to believe what he did. The question
I ask myself though is if censorship in Libraries
and schools is justified. My answer is no, and
that is what I will try to convince you.
Censorship is ridiculous, unfair and selfish, and
censors are hypocritical, intolerant, and
arrogant. What I mean when I say censorship is
ridiculous is exactly that....

Says Who? Citizenship in America holds many
rights. Among these rights are the right to vote,
the right to bear arms, and the most widely
treasured but largely manipulated, right to free
speech. As a citizen of America the right to free
speech comes along with many responsibilities, but
for the small percentage that exercise their right
of free speech to a large public forum, it comes
with many stipulations. The more prominent figures
under a barrage of criticism are those involved in
the arts. ...

Red Riding Hood Sexual Content
867 words
The subject of censorship is a very controversial
one, especially the banning of books. Many people
believe they must protect themselves and others
from the evils of many classic books and works of
art because they can be deemed indecent in one way
or another. Many believe that this is absurd and
censorship in its current form is a violation of
our First Amendment right to free speech.
Personally, I align myself with the latter,
however I do feel there are occasions where
censorship is justifiab...

Mice And Men Bad Guys

Persuasive Essay I strongly believe that Of Mice
and Men should not be banned from public
libraries. After creating a survey on the freshman
class, I am not the only one who thinks this book
shouldnt be banned. About seventy-five percent of
the class wants to keep this book on the shelves.
One reason why students want to keep this book is
because of its interesting plot. This book was
about two migrant workers, one being abnormal, who
work at a ranch so that they could fulfill their

Abiding Citizens Concealed Weapon

Gun control isnt about guns its about control.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. disarm only
those who are neither inclined nor determined to
commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the
assaulted and better for the assailants, they
serve rather to encourage than to prevent
homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with
greater confidence than an armed man. This is the
premise that a nationally known organization, the
NRA stands behind. They believe that our

his own books. He certainly deserves recognition
for the number of times his books have been

since Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published

According to Webster s New World Dictionary
(1990), a clone is all descendants derived
asexually from a single organism. In layman terms
a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism,
therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of
another human being. According to the American
Medical Association, the scientific name for
cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer, which
means the nucleus of an existing organism is
transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus
has been removed (AMA 1998...

To Clone or Not To Clone Since February 23 rd,
1997, when British scientists announced they had

the world has been scrambling to limit the
possibility of using cloning techniques to clone
humans. To most people, the idea of cloning
humans, and its moral implications, has been
safely confined to the realm of science fiction;
