Racial Discrimination College Campuses
1,405 words
If there is one thing that the OJ Simpson trial
will be remembered for, it is the racial
polarization felt by all who have an opinion of
the trial. Even though the trial itself was a
farce, it does say something about where we are
today as an American culture. It seems as though
the racial divide is growing ever wider in our
culture. Terms such as African-American or
Irish-American are only helping to expand
separation based on ethnic background. Just the
fact that people insist on being identif...

Van Den Haag Anti Death Penalty

debated political issue. While one execution takes
place, other murders occur, and the question still
stands: Will the death penalty safeguard society
and deter murder, or will it not? The death
penalty cannot be considered a proper economical
and moral means of punishment to deter those who
might commit capital offenses, or can it? In the
past, capital punishment horrified people, which
deterred them from com...
