gain media attention. Mainly used by extremist
groups in the hopes of gaining recognition for
their cause (wether it is religious, political or
otherwise. ) Several attacks on the US have
recently made headlines The attack on the USS Cole

Life In Prison Put To Death
1,446 words
... t surprisingly, defendants represented by
court-appointed attorneys are more than twice more
likely to be sentenced to death than those
represented by private attorneys or public
defenders. Furthermore, capital punishment
increases the violence in the society. Some people
argue that the death penalty brutalizes society,
by sending out the message that killing people is
the right thing to do in some circumstances.
Statistics show that more murders are committed in
some societies than in other...

Bin Laden Stone Age

I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing
Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. " Room Owens,
on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would
mean killing innocent people, people who had
nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we " re at
war, we have to accept collateral damage. What
else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV
pundit discussing whether we "have the belly to do
what must be done. " And I thought about the
issues being raised especially hard because I am

Affirmative Action Minority Groups

Any governmental classification or preference
based on racial or ethnic criteria must be
justified by a compelling governmental interest,
and the means chosen by the government to
effectuate its purpose must be narrowly tailored
to the achievement of that goal. A public employer
must have convincing evidence of prior
discrimination in its employment practices before
it embarks on an affirmative action program.

Death Row Inmates Inmates On Death Row
932 words
Death by execution has existed as a punishment
since the dawn of time. Yet although this has
existed seemingly forever, the question of its
morality has also existed for that same amount of
time. Killers kill innocent people, there is no
question about that, but does that give us the
right to kill these killers? I do not think so.
Racism is often the driving force behind crime.
Yet in a justice system that preaches equality, it
too is led by racism. There is "a pattern of

Legalization Of Drugs Amounts Of Money

Our societies are decaying due to an incessant war
against drugs. Effects of this war like assault,
property crime, racial and economic
decriminalization, murder, corruption, and many
other undesirable things are developing and
burning through societies fueled by the lack of
determination between whether or not drugs should
be legalized. This polemic is allowing wars

Juveniles And The Death Penalty

The most severe of all sentences is the death
penalty. Death penalty has been banned in many
countries throughout the world, however, in the
United States, an earlier move to get rid of
capital punishment has now been overturned, and
more and more states are resorting to capital
punishment for serious offenses such as murder.

of the major political and social issues. Many

Death of the Innocent In Arthur Miller s The
Crucible, the shear madness of the Salem witch
trials is explored in great detail. Historically,
there are many theories on how the accusations
were started such as moldy flower, resulting in
the accidental taking of narcotics, or a simple
break down in society. But the most probable and
most widely accepted theory is the suppressed
childhood of Puritan society. The Puritan people
were extremely superstitious, paranoid and blinded

Reverend Hale Innocent People

Cowards Never Prevail Overconfidence is never a
praised attribute. It leads to pride, which does
not please the public and add to credibility. In
The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, Reverend
Hale is portrayed very overconfident at first,
although his assurance seems to waver as the plot
progresses. Hale is in an internal conflict with
himself; he is debating whether to do what he is
sent to do, listen to Danforth, or follow his own
conscience and denounce these preceding as unjust.

Trials of Her Sins Hester Prynne, Nathaniel
Hawthorne's character from his novel, The Scarlet
Letter, and Abigail Williams, from The Crucible by
Arthur Miller, have both committed a crime and
they are both hated by their societies. However,
there are also differences between the two
characters. Hester Prynne is the more respectable
Puritan woman of the two because she did not
commit as many sins as Abigail did, she was not as
secretive about it, and her actions only affected

The thematic importance of ambition is revealed
throughout MacBeth in a manner that is not always
instantly visually evident to a conscientious
reader. Although it is responsible for MacBeth s
rise to power, his vaulting ambition is also to
blame for MacBeth s tragic downfall. MacBeth would
not have been able to achieve his power as King of
Scotland, or have been able to carry out his evil
deeds, if it was not for his ambition. In these
instances, ambition helped MacBeth achieve his
