the most intelligent actions that could ever be

certain drugs, an interesting night is ahead of

Western Countries Nuclear Family
671 words
The nuclear family is now a thing of the past. Not
because it does not exist anymore but because it
has lost its importance in moral issues in most
western countries. What used to be odd and
uncommon is now and everyday reality. With the
dramatic change in the way families work and the
way individuals within the family interact with
each other, the old teachings about how to handle
these interactions became obsolete, or it seems.
Like atoms, families are the bricks of a society.

Legalization Of Drugs Legalize Drugs
683 words
There is no question that drugs are prevalent in
the United States today and that something should
be done about it. Drugs hurt society in so many
ways; people die, loose their jobs, and lose their
families all because of addiction. Will legalizing
these destructive drugs change the effect of them?
No, if drugs would be easier to obtain it would
only make it easier for people to have the

Range Against The Machines Kurt Player Piano
1,010 words
In Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, Player Piano, he
brings up quite a few interesting points. His
portrayal of a United States that has become a
slave to its own ingenuity is somewhat
entertaining. What really got to me was the fact
that its easy to imagine people acting the way
they did. As a reader I can see myself making
those very same mistakes, and being just as
childish as the ghost shirts, as conniving as
Shepherd, and as manipulative as Rev. Lasher.
Maybe in our society these people would h...

Love Lust And Obsession In The Great Gatsby

There is a fine line between love and lust. If
love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To
love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart.
In The Great Gatsby, the characters, Jay Gatsby
and Daisy Buchanan are said to be in love, but in
reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The
Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of
love, lust and obsession, through the character of
Jay Gatsby, who confuses lust and obsession with
love. By the end of the novel however, Jay Gatsby

Three Times A Week Times A Week Mom

Before the age of 15, I was as healthy as anyone
could wish to be. In my sophomore year of high
school, though, my seizures began. Nobody knew
what they were at first; they looked as if I was
passing out. These episodes as my mom and I were
calling them, were finally defined as seizures
when a nurse at the hospital saw that during one
of my episodes I would clench my jaw shut and my
muscles would tighten and shake. Doctors put me on
three different medications over the next few
years. The first,...
