One Of The Most Important Important Things
663 words
When I think of the place that I am most
comfortable, relaxed, and in my element I think of
the "Great Outdoors." I really like being out in
the woods or on some trail just being part of
nature. When I am outdoors I have a feeling of
oneness with nature a feeling that I can not get
anywhere else. Oneness with nature I think is one
of the most important things that people need
these days, to get away from everyday life and
just get out away from computers, cell phones,
cars and all of the other e...

Kant believed that morality is a matter of
following absolute rules that admit no exceptions,
that must be followed come what may. He uses the
example that a person should never lie no matter
what the circumstances. Kantian ethics, thus,
tends to focus ones attention on the less relevant
aspect of lying: the deception rather than the
betrayal. Kant believes that his moral theory
prohibits lying under all possible circumstances,

Christian Values Trial Scene
898 words
The idea of mercy is important in the Merchant of
Venice because it provides a focus for the
contrast between Venetian Christian society and
the alien invader, represented by Shylock. Mercy
occupies a central position in the trial scene
(IV. i. ), where the power struggle between
aristocratic Venetian society and the threatening
force of Shylock comes to a climax. My thesis is
that the contrast between (and equation of) mercy
and revenge in the trial scene reveals the true
nature of Venetian soc...

After viewing the film To Kill A Mocking Bird, I
found it to be a very interesting and an
informative piece of work. To see how people lived
in the years during the great depression and how
society was structured was enlightening. The Finch
family lived a modest lifestyle, as compared to
other families during that time. The movie centers
around the Finch family and their day to day life.
