these morals are given to the individual
Unfortunately, these can only be hypothesized.
However, by looking at the way humans are
influenced in society, I believe there is good
evidence to point the blame at several
institutions. These include the forces of the
media, the government, theater, drugs and our
economic system. On the surface, gangs are caused

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?
Throughout this paper I am going to evaluate the
pros and cons of ethical relativism for a case

to try to become part of it. While Daniel was
studying this tribe they acce...

Comparing the three theories, all three appeared

pressures and coercive environment, these were
attributed as causes of deviant behavior. Some
form of control was exercised on the individual.

All modern American literature comes from one book
by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn, according
to Ernest Hemingway. Along with Ernest, many
others believe that Huckleberry Finn is a great
book, but is the novel subversive? Since this
question is frequently asked, people have begun to
look deeper into the question to see if this novel
is acceptable for students in schools to read.
First off subversive means something is trying to
overthrow or destroy something established or to

The article Violence to a T (Ogg 1997, p. 3) is

usually bizarre or unusual events, such as murder
or kidnapping. This focus presents the public with
the image that the majority of crime involves
personal violence. Added to this, the style of
presentation adopted by the...

Euthanasia is a controversial subject, not only
because there are many different moral dilemmas
associated with it, but also in what constitutes
its definition. At the extreme ends of
disagreement, advocates say euthanasia (which in
Greek means easy death) is a good, or merciful,
death. Opponents of euthanasia say it is a fancy
word for murder. Between the two extremes, there
are various positions for and against euthanasia.
One position opposes cases of active euthanasia,
where an active, or ov...

Police Officers Rodney King

As Robert Cover established in his essay, Violence
and the Word, violence is an integral aspect of
legal practices. From the arresting officer s use
of force, to the sentence a judge passes down, to
the actual implementation of the sentence, the
legal process is riddled with violent acts and
interpretations. In this essay, I will argue that
if the use of violence by police officers is
primarily a racial issue. I will also show that if
limits on police force are not well defined, they
