Manifest Destiny Human Nature
690 words
American expansion to the Pacific was introduced
to the people of the country by several different
means. The reasons for expansion did not exclude
Politics, economy, nor society. Primarily the
contributions that that the rise of expansion can
be attributed to include Manifest Destiny, land
hunger, suspicion of British intentions as well as
trade opportunities. Each was valuable, some more
than others, to impel the wheels of expansionism
to begin. The most important contributor to
American expan...

Point Of View One Person

In the article "A Defense of Abortion" Judith
Jarvis Thomson argues that abortion is morally
permissible even if the fetus is considered a
person. In this paper I will give a fairly
detailed description of Thomson main arguments for
abortion. In particular I will take a close look
at her famous "violinist" argument. Following will
be objections to the argumentative story focused
on the reasoning that one person's right to life
outweighs another person's right to autonomy. Then
appropriate respon...

Population Growth Carrying Capacity
1,300 words
... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that
this could only mean one thing: the resource is
very abundant now, compared with the demand for
that resource. However, the only thing that this
means is that resources just aren't as scarce
right now, as they used to be. One of the major
causes for this is quite possibly the
over-saturation of the market with such resources.
Because mankind's economies are using the
resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be
as much scarcity as there once ...

Blanche Ingram Jane Eyre
691 words
Blanche Ingram: Villain? Blanche Ingram is the
most important woman, other than Jane Eyre, in the
novel. Arguably, she is the most important
antagonist in this book. It is difficult to fathom
how an absolutely horrid, conceited, venal,
apathetic creature could be so vital to the book;
but take her away, the motivation, conflict, and
character itself crumbles. Consider this synopsis:
Jane Eyre has not yet come to terms with her love
with Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester is so infatuated
with Jane tha...

London Call Of The Wild

London, Call of the Wild Jack London's Call of the
Wild is rightly considered as one of the greatest
masterpieces of English literature. It wouldnt be
too daring to suggest that at least two
generations of men that participated in First and
Second World Wars were greatly influenced by its
ideas. It appears as if this novel was meant to
strengthen people before the advent of great
twentieth century's trials and tribulations I
personally view London's masterpiece as much more

Youth Of Athens Corrupting The Youth

Socrates At the elderly age of seventy, Socrates
found himself fighting against an indictment of
impiety. He was unsuccessful at trial in the year
399 B. C. The charges were corrupting the youth of
Athens, not believing in the traditional gods in
whom the city believed, and finally, that he
believed in other new divinities. In Plato's
Apology, Socrates defends himself against these
charges. He claims that the jurors opinions are
biased because they had probably all seen

common goal strive for a better life. Sharing this
common bond, Americans banded together and fought

Rhetorical Devices First Line

Great poetry is great not because of what it says
but because of how it is phrased. Few poems say
anything that is very profound; instead, the best
of them use language in novel, memorable, and
effective ways. Certainly this is true of Percy
Bysshe Shelleys famous sonnet England in 1819. In
this poem Shelley describes the depressing, dark,
and dirty state of affairs caused in Britain by
political, social, and spiritual corruption.
However, this poem would not be nearly as

Kind Of Love Kinds Of Love

The Power of Love Through life, people experience
many kinds of love. Many people often believe they
love someone, when they actually do not because
they may not know what the word means. As much as
we want to understand love, it is still simply
indescribable. As C. S. Lewis tries to explain it
in his book, The Four Loves, it is still a mystery
as to what love truly means. I believe in order to
know what love means, one must experience it. It
is quite true that went two individuals are in

American Foreign Policy Foreign Investments
296 words
Politicians have debated the focus of American
foreign policy for decades. Of all the focal
points of foreign policy, perhaps the most
important should contain maintaining a strong
United States dollar value. The value of the
dollar determines the purchasing power of the
dollar. If this value decreases dramatically, it
could easily create a chain reaction in the world
economy. The value of the dollar affects foreign
investments, trade, and United States world power.
By keeping this value up, the...
