Much to my surprise, the Peruvian society consists
of a distinct and diverse culture, one, which
would not be envisioned for the current
twenty-first century. It is a society in which I,

beyond my comprehension of a society living today.
In the article I have found describing Peru as A
State of Decay, I discovered what the ideal
Peruvian family lives like in todays society.

A Heightened Drinking Age
826 words
I believe a heightened drinking age would
definately not stop underage drinking. Mainly due
to the fact that it is considered acceptable in
our society already. Drinking, unlike drugs, is
considered acceptable in todays society. It is
even considered a right of passage when a person
first begins drinking. I have witnessed this
myself. It is considered humorous, when a person
is drunk, rather than disturbing. This action can
often lead to alcoholism when the person is
finally legal to drink. Sinc...

Franz Kafka illustrates in his passages the idea
of the superiority of law and its legal actors.
His passages about the power of law can be applied
to legal actors in todays society, especially
lawyers and attorneys. Lawyers, who can also be
considered nobility, and agents of justice, have
an advantage over non-legal actors, Kafka argues.
In Kafka's passage, Before the Law, he tells a
parable involving a gatekeeper and a regular
civilian man. The gatekeeper, who is guarding a

down on in todays societies because they are
