Twenty Four Hours Upper Class Women
2,027 words
In a conversation with my girlfriend about
battered women, she said, "I'd never put up with
that" and then asked, "Why would a woman stay in
an abusive relationship?" As relationships
progress, there are more emotional and financial
ties which makes it harder to leave. The average
woman will leave her abuser seven or eight times
before making the final break. Women may be afraid
of strangers, but it is a husband, a lover, a
boyfriend, or someone they know who is most likely
to harm them. Accordi...

Punishable By Death Age Of 18
2,379 words
Many people support the death penalty, and a lot
of them use the defense that comes from the Bible:
an eye for eye, and a limb for a limb. I on the
other hand believe otherwise. Punishment by death,
in my opinion, is a very barbaric way of
penalization. In the world, it is known that at
least 2500 prisoners are executed in at least 37
different countries, on an annual basis. There
will be various statistics, opinions, history, and
background information discussed through out the

Capital Punishment, not a deterrent The question
with which we must deal is not whether a
substantial proportion of American citizens would
today, if polled, opine that capital punishment is
barbarously cruel, but whether they would find it
to be so in light of all information presently
available. (Justice Thurgood Marshall) There are
two opposing views regarding capital punishment:
those who oppose it and those who support the
death penalty. Many opinions are understandable
from both sides; for...

The Net, a feature film from Sony Pictures,
details the high-tech drama of Angela Bennett
(played by Sandra Bullock) who is a computer
systems analyst. When she accidentally gains
access to a classified program, she becomes
trapped in a web of mystery and conspiracy.
However, the film failed to win over movie

exactly what a computer systems analyst does.

Death Penalty Convicted Murderers

Is the Death Penalty Right or Wrong? The idea of
putting another human to death is hard to
completely fathom. The physical mechanics involved
in the act of execution are easy to grasp, but the
emotions involved in carrying out a death sentence
on another person, regardless of how much they
deserve it, is beyond my own understanding. I know
it must be painful, dehumanizing, and sickening.
However, this act is sometimes necessary and it is
our responsibility as a society to see that it is
done. Op...
