A TED is a metal grate that is sewn in the body of a net so when a turtle hits it, it is launched out the top of the net, supposedly returning it to the wild. In my opinion TEDS are a good thought but they have done nothing but hurt the fishing Since the introduction of TEDS in 1989 there has been a 10 % decline in the number of shrimp caught each year.

Opposing Viewpoints Religious Beliefs
1,005 wordsCensorship, a controversial word that has been with us since who knows when. Ancient dictators would burn books because they didn't like them and force people to believe what he did.

Opposing Viewpoints Religious Beliefs
1,144 words... Censorship is not taking away the rights of citizens, it is protecting the rights of people who do not wish to be exposed to certain things. It is also a great tool in preserving morals and social order. Violence in things such as movies and pornography obviously encourage criminal, or immoral behavior. Restricting such materials to certain times and places may keep them being viewed as taboo, and not allow them to become the norms of society. When these grounds are considered, we can see th...

Rock And Roll Limp Bizkit
498 wordsFirst, I would like to explain why I believe that cover songs are now a good thing. "Behind Blue Eyes" covered by Limp Bizkit is a song that I would have never heard had it not been covered. The Who originally recorded this song in 1971. Limp Bizkit is an alternative band that many younger people have great interest in. Many people my age are not as interested in what is now called "Classic Rock" as they are in alternative music. Therefore, this song would have never been heard if it wasn't for ...
