Wanted To Make Von Papen
1,740 words
After WWI, Germany was in a exceedingly unpleasant
state. It had been forced, by the Treaty of
Versailles, to take full blame for the war. This
meant that Germany would have to pay reparations
for all of the other countries. Reparations were
even harder to pay since Germany was in the midst
of one of the worst stagflation epidemics in
history. Not to mention a brand new government,
one that had nothing to do with the signing of
this treaty, had taken over power. All of the
people of this once su...

Racial Profiling African Americans
1,330 words
NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE RACIAL PROFILING Racial
profiling is a law enforcement strategy that
encourages police officers to stop and question
African Americans simply because of their race.
Although not raised as a major issue in the
courtroom during the trial of the four police
officers who shot Amadou Diallo (who were
acquitted in February), racial profiling is often
employed by police, officially and unofficially,
and was likely a factor in the police shooting of
Diallo. Racial profiling took ...

JACKSON COMES TO POWER: THE ELECTION OF 1828 The
election of 1828 was more of a "revolution" than
that of 1800. Andrew Jackson won by 647, 000 votes
to 507, 000, 178 - 83 in electoral college. Far
more people voted for president than in 1824, as
the states were beginning to let the people select
presidential electors. A new two-party system

Vice-president...

Commit Adultery Cultural Relativism
823 words
Moral standards are in eye of the beholder.
Different views on moral standards lead us to know
whether something is right or wrong. There is the
divine command theory, which states that God is
the one who tells us what is right and what is
wrong. God's commands (or commandments) are our
source of religious morality. This theory only
holds true if your are a beleive in a devine
being. If you are an atheist this morality theory
will not apply. Natural Law is another means of
finding a moral standa...

In his work, Science: The Glorious Entertainment,
Jacques Barzun claims that science has become a

technology has created a sense of human

Three Days God Exists

Nelson Pike wrote the article Divine Omniscience
and Voluntary Action as an elaboration of
Boethius' Divine Foreknowledge and Freedom of the
Will. Pike thought that Boethius had a valid,
logical argument that was just not thought out
fully. Boethius stated that perhaps there is a
lack of free will if God already knows what is and
will happen. However, in order for this argument
to be valid, some assumptions need to be made. The
first assumption is that God exists. Second is the
view of God as om...

Abuse Or Neglect Child Abuse

Many children suffer at the hands of adults -
often their own parents. They are beaten, kicked,
thrown into walls, and / or burned with
cigarettes. They have their heads held under the
water of toilet bowls, are scalded by hot water or
they are forced to stand in freezing showers until
they pass out. A child could be stuffed into

Assisting Suicide Assisted Suicide

Do you believe that a person that helps another
person to commit suicide is a criminal? Do you?
The term Euthanasia means the killing of a
terminal ill person by a physician to end his or
her suffering or any action taken by a physician
to provide death to a patient. Many people argue
that the decision to kill oneself is a private
choice which society has no right to be concerned
about. This position assumes that suicide results
from competent people making autonomous, rational
decision to die, ...

Standing in awe of this country's great
achievements, one might ask how it came to be as
it is today. As simple as this question might
seem, the answer has been proven to be much more
complex. Distorted in the eyes of human
perception, the history that built this great
nation that is the United States of America is one
that holds as many truths as falsehoods. Yet, this

Physician Assisted Suicide Quality Of Life

Originally, the term "physician assisted suicide"
meant the provision by a physician of the means of
which a suffering, terminally ill patient could
initiate his or her death. The "euthanasia" means
the killing of a terminally ill person to end his
or her suffering. Now, by practice, the term
"physician assisted suicide" has been expanded in
meaning to include the administration of a lethal
substance by a physician to a suffering patient-a
form of euthanasia. Thus, physician assisted
suicide can...

Men And Women Role Of Women

Femininity is not a word that we are encouraged to
use these days. A lot of people would argue that
femininity is the thing that keeps women obedient
to men. However, there is a hidden assumption
behind this term. The assumption is that
masculinity is superior to femininity; that
femininity is not a beautiful and powerful thing
in its own right. I believe that women have
something men do not have. Women have special
qualities that belong to them as women, and they
do not intend to suppress those...

Capital Punishment Does Not Deter Abolished The Death Penalty

There has been many controversies in the history
of the United States, ranging from abortion to gun
control, but capital punishment has been one of
the most hotly contested issues in recent decades.
Capital punishment is the legal infliction of the
death penalty on persons convicted of a crime
(Cox). It is not intended to inflict any physical
pain or any torture; it is only another form of
punishment. It is irrevocable because it removes
those punished from society permanently, instead
of tempor...

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee seems like a

in this novel are as relevant today as when this
novel was written, and also the most significant
literary devices used by Lee. The novel brings
forward many important themes, such as the
importance of education, recognition of inner
courage, and the misfortunes of prejudice. This

The psychological genre as it relates to
sociological and medicinal matters has gained an
increasing amount of scientific approval.
Impartiality and the scientific method are both
integral components to a psychologists mode of
practice. However, even the most esteemed of
psychologists can only speculate at what makes
human beings act the way they do. Absolutes play
no function in psychology. Everything is relative
and open to conjecture. Theologians give us their
visions or thoughts about life. ...

Mister Francis H Belief Of Being In Control Happy

Not many people are happy, but all the libraries
are filled with books on happiness, and this very
fact should make us curious. The Ancients gave us
dozens of recipes on how to conduct a happy life,
each of them contradicting the other, or at least,
with very dissimilar opinions. The Modernity has
its own solutions up to the negation of the very
possibility of having a happy life. And recently,
mister Francis H. came up with his own idea of
happiness. He argues that the problem of happiness

Government in favor of the democratic Republican
Government, concerned with the needs of all of its

Law Of God Sir Thomas

With the free will presented upon us, comes a
great sense of responsibility to use it wisely.
The choices we make are ultimately affected by an
array of factors, such as religion, morals,
upbringing, society, and environment, to name a
few. However, the conscious effort to ignore any
of these factors in order to make the uniformed
choice would be a violation of ones free will and
self-respect. In order to remain loyal to oneself,
one must be incoherent to the pressures of
