Censored Ing Second Stanza
1,280 words
This Be the Verse by Philip Larkin They censored
you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to,
but they do. They fill you with the faults they
had And add some extra, just for you. But they
were censored ed up in their turn By fools in
old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were
sloppy-stern And half at one another's throats. It
deepens like a coastal shelf. And don't have any
kids yourself. Lately, I have read a good deal of
poems by Philip Larkin, and one unifying factor
that I have not...

Catholic Church Natural Law
1,095 words
... or living a lie by hiding beneath the garments
of a prescribed morality, is contrary to natural
law. Homosexuals are not making each other, or
society, bad or worse by doing what comes
naturally to them. Surely, more harm has come from
forcing these moral lepers to try and be what they
are not. For example: A man knows he is gay but
gets married, trying to put on the airs of
acceptable social norms. He has three kids with a
wife who wants to spend the rest of her life with
him. Around the ti...

Ways Of Life Gang Violence
1,375 words
The movie Friday is a comedy, but it also depicts
many important social issues. The story is set in
the city of Los Angeles, California, in what could
be called a high-class ghetto in my perspective.
The main theme of the movie is about a young black
man who looses his job and is influenced by his
best friend to smoke marijuana. The movie also
shows the relationships of his family and other
members of his neighborhood. With a zany cast of
characters and a hilarious script this movie
touches on e...

Peggy Rudd Cross Dressers Transvestitism
1,003 words
In the last few decades, there has been a rapid
change in social attitude towards so-called sexual
problems. There has been a call for the freedom to
live in the style of which one chooses, so long as
no one else is harmed in the process. One area
that appears little understood, however, is
transvestitism, or cross-dressing. In order to
gain some knowledge about this phenomenon, there
are many aspects of transvestitism that should be
examined, some being: history, societal views, the
gay versus ...

Golan Heights Gaza Strip

The United States is looking to help out Israel in
as many ways as possible since it is one of the
few Mid East nations that are democratic instead
of monarch or a dictatorship. The United States
best interest in helping Israel can be seen as a
way of promoting democracy since Israel is a
democratic state. Israel is a stable and
democratic ally to the United States. The U. S. is
able to depend on Israel rather than its Arab
neighbors, who do not share the common values of
democracy. The foreign ...

Mental Ability Physical Strength

Throughout my life my parents have always taught
me that a child is a product of its environment.
As time has passed and I have grown older and
observed the people around me I have seen this
fact become more evident. I believe that no one
person can mimic another's actions or behaviors so
precisely that they become identical. A persons
personality seems to be an infinitely large empty
pie plate. The actions or behaviors that people
portray are a small slice that they have taken
from others to fi...

Anabolic Steroids Steroid Abuse

In many parts of the world today, sports
competitions are the vehicle for the fierce quest
to win, to be the best. Athletes will do anything
to win whether that be cheating in golf or taking
steroids in order to excel in baseball. It is said
that over 3 million athletes and bodybuilders have
used illegal steroids in this country alone
(Street 1). If many people already use steroids
why not make them legal and let people take them
at their own risk? Or perhaps do you think

The relationship between an individual and society
is always difficult. It becomes even more
difficult when that individual is a monster.
Society has certain standards and those standards
include our physical appearance. When those

Freedom To Choose Freedom Of Choice
1,711 words
The topic of this paper is to discuss what freedom
is and if we as humans possess it. Freedom is
defined by Webster's Dictionary as the exemption
from power or control of another, or exemption
from necessity, in choice and action, known
generally as free will. However, this does not
cover the full implications of pure and absolute
freedom. Absolute freedom is one such that a
person not only understands that there are no
restrictions on his actions, but also that his
actions are guided by his own...

Society Of Today Ownership Of The Handmaid Considered

Atwood, Margaret. 1986. The Handmaids Tale. The
Handmaids Tale focuses itself on some past history
of societies that once were and to some extent may
be reality of today. The main characters face
certain uncertainty unless they follow the rules
of the society and accept their position within
the society. One must contemplate whether there
may be any risk, large or small, that the current
society we live in may be susceptible to this type
of change. If you consider the base to be that of

Political Correctness Politically Correct

Political correctness, a concept originally meant
to protect minorities and the under represented
and thus strengthen the country, has in todays
America become no more than a necessary evil and
catalyst for the cult of ethnicity. In theory
political correctness sounds like a very
reasonable idea and when looked at very shallowly
this remains the case. When it is more thoroughly
looked at thought it dangers become more and more
apparent. By creating a set of correct terminology

Height Of The Equipment Shock Absorbing Surface

One of the major concerns in elementary physical
education today that you may not even think about
is playground safety. A recent survey found that
almost every two-and-a-half minutes in the United
States a child receives emergency medical care for
a playground related injury. This alone should let
us realize that something needs to be done to
prevent these injuries. There are many factors
that can cause injuries on the playground, one of
the most important being the surfacing under and

censorship can be raised too, what about subjects
that people feel are a waste of valuable Internet
resources- "should these be censored as a waste?"
The question is raised: why should a university

Malcolm X Human Race

My Hero Malcolm X is as democratical as the word
democracy is. Malcolm X is my hero because of the
fact that when the world was divided because of
race he stood up and made a difference! He proved
that the American democracy was a dictatorship. He
said that how can a democracy trash a complete
race and enslave them for 300 hundred years!

Aboriginal Customary Laws And Australian Contemporary
589 words
Aboriginal customary laws, before white settlement
in 1788, were considered primitive by the British,
if considered at all. But Aboriginal laws and
customs had lasted hundreds of years, based on
traditions such as kinship ties and rituals. These
laws were formed by ancestors, spirits, and
Aboriginal beliefs, and were passed down the
generations by word-of-mouth instead of written
down. Being over 500 tribes (each with it's own
clans) in Australia at one point, there were many
variations to their...

Openly Gay Gay Lesbian

When you hear the word 'gay, ' what do you think

daily. Am I the only one bothered by this?

Corporal Punishment Physical Force

Schools are failing to provide the kind of
educational experience we want for our children, .
In too many of these schools, expectations of
students are low, teachers and parents are
frustrated, and academic performance is poor. This
is part by the schools not being strict enough.
The teachers of today can not correct a kid like
they should unless they get slapped with a
lawsuit. You cant take a kid into the hall and
