The Hypocrisy Of The Media
.... writing in the Federalist Papers to support his position, specifically, “one of the Constitution’s safeguards against oppressive measures is that Congress can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of society.” He reasons, therefore, that Bush’s possible confession that he used cocaine when he was young should force him, his supporters and the rest of us to do some hard thinking.
What Mr. Taylor presents for his readers is a .....

Escape Through Science Fiction Novels And Movies
.... will most likely be the result. Also, due to the fact that most escapes are the temporary kind, leisure time is generally very precious. Therefore, it is not enough that an escape simply do away with work and responsibility. An escape must also take full advantage of one’s leisure time.
Third, an escape must not have any undesirable consequences. This is the condition that justifies the escape itself. Suppose for example that a person became tired of his or her job and simply stopped working. That pe .....

Immortal Beloved
.... been sent to. Based upon these clues, scholars have proposed several women from Beethoven's circle of acquaintances as "Immortal Beloved" candidates. Was she Beethoven's piano student, the Countess Giulietta Guicciardi? Or her cousin, the widowed Countess Joshphine Deym? Or could she have been Antonie Brentano, the wife of one of Beethoven's friends, as Maynard Solomon suggested.
Even once candidates are proposed, the question remains: why was this letter in Beethoven's possession? Did he never send i .....

Hardin's "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against The Poor" - No! You Cannot Come In
.... "If we
do let an extra 10 people in our lifeboat, we will have lost our 'safety
factor,' an engineering principle of critical importance" (page 757). I cannot
take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to non Americans it should be used only in America.
The money used to help the poorer countries can be very useful in the United
States. The middle class people in America get no help. More of that money can
go toward the middle class families. The midd .....

Alexander Pope's Literary Works
.... which can be compared
with popes' efforts by the difference in eighteenth century literature and
romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they portray to the reader
through their writing.
Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero-
Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for
common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever-popular Aeneas, are
symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The
Rape of .....

A Haunted House: Treasures Of Life
.... consciousness gives us a better feeling of what the characters are going
through, which in turn gives us a better understanding of the meaning.
We also see the use of irony, using a word or phrase to mean the exact
opposite of its literal or normal meaning. The irony is that the story is
titled "A Haunted House" which made us think that the house was an evil place.
The house ends up being where every thing good happens. The ghosts did not
haunt the people , instead they make them realize the .....

receiving a letter from his mother
...he quickly raised the letter to his lips and kissed it; then he spent
a long time poring over the handwriting on the envelope, over the small,
slanting handwriting, so familiar and dear to him, of his mother who had once
taught him to read and write. (Crime and Punishment, pg.47)
Raskolnikov's mother, who taught him how to read and write did this job quite
well. This resulted in a very gifted and brilliant university st .....

Do You Have What It Takes? A Breakdown Of The Educated Person
.... at things objectively, which
means there is no feelings influencing experiments that can lead to fraudulent
conclusions. This can be a double edged sword however, because in many
instances when a scientist is emotionally removed from the experiments performed,
the question, "Should I?", is never asked. For instance under the reign of
Hitler many cruel medical experiments were preformed. In The Medical
Experiments by William Shirer the author states,"Prisoners were placed in high
pressure chambers and .....

General Prologue: Human Dishonesty, Stupidity And Virtue
.... that if
one does something good, he will be rewarded by G-d. Many people did meaningful,
charitable things out the goodness of their hearts, but others had done it for
other reasons. Those reasons included making money from people's suffering and
giving to charity because someone told them to do so, rather than from the
goodness of their hearts or to ease the suffering of others. Chaucer plays off
both of these parts of charity in his portraits to show how they can be combined
differently in diff .....

Descartes Vs. Pascal
.... tool of reason correctly. In order to do this and find
certainty, we must find something that we cannot doubt. This is impossible, as
we can logically doubt anything. A certain truth must be something that is not
logically possible to be false.
We must doubt, as that is the only way to find certain truth. It is the
only way to wipe the slate clean of all of the uncertain assumptions which are
believed and taught in the universities today. Just as mathematics will lead to
uncertain assumptions if i .....

Santa Claus
.... fulfilling the dreams of millions of children is not an easy
one. It requires many trusted helpers. These helpers include parents,
grandparents, brothers, sisters, and of course elves and reindeer. Reindeer play
an important role in the scheme of things. Without the famous Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen or Rudolph, Santa would not have
any transportation. They fly faster than a speeding bullet, yet never seem to
miss a single home. Together, Santa, the elves, and the reindeer .....

just in time, because just then a big metal puncher came by and punched a hole
in the ground right next to him. He stumbled away, only to find that the robot
was following him. He ran into the shelter and closed the door, sealing the
robot outside of the shelter. The shelter was s small room, just big enough to
fit a cot, a chemical toilet, and a rebreather with spare oxygen tanks.

Language Is A Virus

the country as a whole and of the reader as an individual.
Obviously, a written work is a product of the period in which it is written.
Unless it is a historical tale, the subjects, characters and events described,
would be of a temporary nature or have a temporary outlook and appeal. Many
writings are of a controversial nature and as such they appeal to some but can
meet with a violent disapproval by others. .....

Poe's Man In The Crowd: Types Of People Based On Appearance

struggles, anxieties, and agonous results due to the horror of the unsolvable
crimes. The possibility of these crimes is introduced through the man of the
crowd through his unseemingly unidentifiable expression The narrator describes
his thoughts of this man as:
There arose confusedly and paradoxically within my mind, the ideas of vast
mental power, of caution, of penuriousness, of avarice, of coolness, of malice,
of blood-thirtstiness, of .....
