In 1994 there was a debate at the White House, which wanted to let gays serve in the military openly, yet Congress and the military did not.

Hate Crime Prevention Act
513 wordsThe Hate Crimes Prevention Act Will Not Prevent Hate Crimes I am not anti-gay, nor am I opposed to gay rights. I believe that same sex couples should be allowed to marry and to adopt children. Also, openly homosexual individuals should be eligible for service in the military. Despite this acceptance of peoples homosexuality, I hold that the Hate Crimes Prevention Act is unnecessary in the United States. I understand that gays and lesbians live in fear of being attacked, but who can be sure that ...

Euthanasia Is Morally Morally Correct
1,319 wordsThe third night that I roomed with Jack in our tiny double room, in the solid-tumor ward of the cancer clinic of the National Institute of Health in Maryland, a terrible thought occurred to me.

The cancer had now spread out of control. Jack, about 28, was in constant pain, and his doctor had prescribed an intrav...

When the issue of censorship needs to be addressed question arise such as? Who will enforce it? ? and? Who will decide what is? right? ? ? Ironically, the people who censor materials to protect the common people do not have the common persons best interest in mind. It is the people ...

Gawain And The Green Knight Sir Gawain And The Green
1,390 wordsWomen Contribute to Their Own Misogyny Although society has advanced dramatically technologically, I feel that we still have a long way to go when it comes to how we view one another. It amazes me that in a society such as ours, that bases its existence on the equality of all people, that misogyny (as it occurred in medieval times) still takes place. A timeless example of misogyny is the objectifying of women, which suggests that a womans sexual beauty is her only worth. In dealing with this mis...

1,128 wordsNot exactly, Minister Nigel Hawthorne Straight Face Hodder &# 038; Stoughton? 18. 99, pp 328 Nigel Hawthorne's friends have been surprised by the frank discussion in these memoirs of his sexuality. In life, he never mentioned it, unwilling to embarrass people with what he claimed was a non-issue.
