Fifteen Minutes Ten Minutes
1,162 words
Originally, my plan was to spend three days in
Oklahoma practicing yoga two to three times a day
and spend at least a couple of hours a day in
meditation. The first day went alright for a
little while. I arose at ten oclock or so and
began with an hour and forty-five minute session
with kris and meditation. That yielded a

the rest of the day I attempted short meditations.
My problems with this were that...

Lee Harvey Oswald John F Kennedy
1,294 words
On Friday November 22, 1963, the thirty-fifth
President of the United States of America, John F.
Kennedy was assassinated as he rode down Elm
Street in downtown Dallas Texas. To this day, the
questions as to whom did it, why did they do it,
and how did they do it? are still unanswered. Then
there is the question as to if it was a cover up.
I personally believe that there was definitely a
cover up because I don't think that Lee Harvey
Oswald could have shot that many bullets in that

Is the Little Princes Planet a Utopia or Dystopia?
Well the answer is different for everybody because
no two minds are alike. We live in a world that is

Ingsoc, or English socialism, and the force that
has society in a vice of fear and ignorance. It is
in George Orwell's grim dystopia Nineteen
Eighty-Four that these circumstances exist. It was
written in 1948 as a warning to where society
could be headed. Orwell had experienced war, and

into a thousand pieces. This book is a warning to

Violence On Tv Males And Females
1,042 words
Teenagers not only process emotions more intensely
and more indiscriminately than adults, but also
appear to use their brains differently to handle
what they are told, says Robert Lee Home, in his
article Scans Show Teenage Brains Work. But is
this an excuse to why males, from ages sixteen to
thirty-two are getting into more trouble than any
other age group? Many people believe that
psychology proves this quotation to be true. I was
born into my family just nineteen years ago.

Violent Behavior Viewing Habits
841 words
When children view substantial amounts of
violence, I believe the possibility of
desensitization becomes probable. Does
desensitizing cause children to accept violent
behavior as normal and aid them to mature to be
violent adults? A study done by the American
Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
reported that television does increase
aggressiveness in children's behavior. The
majority of violence viewed by children contains a
substantial amount of unrealistic violence. This
type of violenc...
