Black Or White Institution Of Marriage
1,321 words
Homosexuals should be allowed to marry because the
disallowance of it violates their constitutional
rights. Marriage is an institution long recognized
by our government under the right to pursue
happiness, and denying that right to any couple,
regardless of gender, is unconstitutional. This
argument, though, is not disputed. In fact, none
of the arguments raised in opposition to the
allowance of homosexual marriages takes into
account the constitutional rights afforded to all
humans. The argumen...

Kill A Mockingbird Racial Prejudice

Mockingbird? . The first sign of prejudice in the

tale of courage, a breathtaking drama that
attempts to capture, within its limits, the
universal spirit of adventure. He appeals in

an audacious inspiration in life by which to model
his own. He entices his readers because his
motives lie simply in his desire to entertain, to
delight, and to enthrall anyone with a prolific
imagination. However, this purely entertaining

Majority Of The Population Democratic Society
493 words
Henry David Thoreau often took extreme positions
on the issue of government and its role in
society. To this somewhat rebellious
transcendentalist, government should not govern
people at all and law was often meant to be
broken. Thoreau's belief in individualism was so
strong in fact that it seems he often took sides
on an in issue simply to be in favor of the
minority, whether the majority was right or wrong.
Certainly, it is important for one to be himself
and stand up for what he believes in....

no denying the impact that Feminism has had on our

Poem Great Deal

The poems of Sir Walter Ralegh often deal with the
issue of death and mortality. In some cases he
directly deals with the issue, and others he uses
vast metaphors in order to convey his message. For
the most part, Ralegh takes a very bleak position
on the issues of death and aging, but in some
cases he takes a more optimistic view. Ralegh is
said to have been a man who was a historian,
soldier, courtier, philosopher, explorer, and of
course a poet. The fact that he spent the last
years of his li...

Make Him Acceptable Offering A Sacrifice Cain
765 words
Cain and Abel Why was Abel s offer accepted and
Cain s offer rejected? One of the questions that
came to my mind when I read the story of Cain and
Abel was why God accepted Abel s offer but did not
accept Cain s offer. The text itself does not tell
us why Abel s offering is more palatable to the
Lord than Cain s offering. Cain, as a farmer,
brings to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the
ground, a vegetable offering. Cain could have done
better, but he chose not to for some reason. I
