Spider Woman Human Community

automatically associate it with the act of
murder-suicide. We also immediately refer to the
so-called Dr. Kevorkian who has personally
assisted suicides. Euthanasia may not be our
natural way to die, but who determines what that
is? One would think that the only person, who
could decide if euthanasia is the right or wrong
way to die, would be the person directly affected
by it. It varies from country to country whether
euthanasia is accepted. In the U...

Infidelity In Men More Than Just Sex

The subject of infidelity is a frightening one to
me. I have only been unfaithful once, but I
remember it vividly. The thought that I could do
something like that to a person that I cared about
is depressing. Although I can clearly depict how
bad cheating made me feel, I cannot explain why I
did it. The best reason that I have been able to
come up with is physical pleasure. The idea that I
could betray somebody that I loved troubles me,
but even more troubling is the prospect of
infidelity in my...

True Identity Human Beings

What is race? The Websters dictionary defines race
as any of the different varieties of human beings
distinguished by physical traits, blood types, and
so on. Nonetheless, I see this definition more fit
for the word ethnicity than the race. In my
opinion, ethnicity is a part of ones race. Ones
race embodies much more than just the ethnicity,
which is just physical traits or blood types. It
represents ones identity, culture, origin, moral
values, and so on. One could belong to any
particular ethn...
