Difference Between Right And Wrong Ability To Reason
1,192 wordsOne of the most asked questions concerning Hamlet, is whether or not during the play he was actually insane or merely acting.

However, there are many times during the play where it seems Hamlet could not possibly be acting. But while it is possible to be sane and act insane, by definition it is impossible to be insane and act sane because an insane per...

Abolish The Death Penalty Mentally Retarded

Murder is unaccepted by society, yet people seem to pacify themselves by killing criminals. Is that not considered to be murder?

Mourning families will still carry a never-ending hearta...
