Street Congregational Church, Cambridge, Mass. ,
June 7, 1898. There are moments in every man's
life, in the life of every nation, when, under the
excitement of passion, the simple truths which in
common times are the foundation upon which the
right order and conduct of life depend are apt to

ever to be ke...

Prostitution: Prostitution might appear to be an
odd topic for historical inquiry. As "the world's
oldest profession, " concerned with buying and
selling something as "natural" and "unchanging" as
sex, it might seem to have no history. However,
prostitution is subject to historical change and
is shaped by the society in which it exists. In
the United States, over the last couple hundred
years, the nature of prostitution and the
experiences of people working as prostitutes have
varied a great dea...

capitalism-and that the middle class is left to
defend itself. Many expe...

Put To Death Death Penalty
807 words
Looking out for the state of the public's
satisfaction in the scheme of capital sentencing
does not constitute serving justice. Today's
system of capital punishment is fraught with
inequalities and injustices. The commonly offered
arguments for the death penalty are filled with
holes. It satisfied the public's need for
retribution. It relieved the anguish of the
victim's family. Realistically, imposing the death
penalty is expensive and time consuming.
Retroactively, it has yet to be proven as a...

Pain And Suffering Human Beings

When faced with the choice of sparing an animal's
life or saving a human being, most people would
reasonably choose to save the human. But are human
needs more important than non-human animals? Most
people think of animals as objects whose purpose
is to serve our desires and whims, whether for the
taste of their flesh, or the feel of their fur and
skin, or the profit that can be made from either
of these activities. Perhaps we should rethink the
multitude of ways we use animals for our purposes

and economic justice occurs when "all members of a
society share equally in the social order, secure
an equitable consideration of resources and
opportunities, and enjoy their full benefit of
civil liberties" (DuBois & Krogsrud Miley, 1996;
