After World War II the concept of life in America

driving force in the division of socioeconomic
status, and the division of race in the suburbs.

Was Gatsby An Immoral Person Or Not
796 words
This question about Gatsby is hard to answer, and
it is wondered whether he is a moral person or
not. They are many reasons for both sides of the
story. To support that he was an immoral man it is
said that he made his living in a unlawful manner,

Animal Rights Activists Economic Growth
1,239 words
The world becomes a sad place when we allow
animals to be factory-farmed, treating them
inhumanely to be used for our pleasure. Yes, hogs
are mentally inferior to humans but that gives us
no right to force these horrible conditions on
them. God made humans to have dominion over
animals, with the proof in Genesis 1: 26.
Therefore, it is my opinion that we are supposed
to protect animals in the same manner as we would
protect a small child. Rush Limbaugh makes the
argument that factory farming is ...

on immigration, arguing that immigrants "threaten"
American life by creating unemployment by taking
jobs from American workers, using much-needed
social services, and encroaching on the "American
way of life....
