The Idea Of Freedom
.... the world. Where else may an
individual may “flip-off” another and then write a contemptible letter to
the President without a blink of an eye by officials? In other countries,
such actions could cause one's life to be lost by sun-up the next day.
This is the rationalization of First Amendment tree-huggers who advocate
any bend in the rules which would be otherwise a fair idea.
As far as fair ideas go, until several years ago in Russia,
luxurious living was a thing of dreams and stories for the ave .....

What I Can Do To Promote Liberty
.... human events it becomes necessary to disassociate from the
ties that bind us and keep us from true liberty.
Now I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but it seems to me that
when the local militia group has Uzi's, and tanks and all Deputy Bob has is
a hangover from last nights eight hour long Happy hour at the Hoo
Doo, and when he finally comes to and searches my house because he's still
a little groggy and is confusing me with the “Rebels of The State of Idaho
Brigand” and he finds my gu .....

Living The Dream
.... money and lots of it, and health. The main reason though that I
think he is living this dream is because he was voted the number one nicest
actor on and off the set. This would be a great title to be given. I would
be honored if I was voted this. He is an inspiring actor because of this.
He is a great role model for young children and they look up to him. I
think when children sees what Will Smith has accomplished they imagine
themselves accomplishing the same goals. I believe that Will Smith st .....

Peplau And Campbell's "The Balance Of Power In Dating"
.... in today's society.
Letitia Anne Peplau and Susan Miller Campbell's story, The Balance
of Power in Dating, defines what the word power means. They say that the
definition of power is "One person's ability to influence the behavior of
another to achieve personal goals-cannot be observed directly, but must be
inferred from behavior." This definition suggests that power is only used
to manipulate one person's thoughts, actions, or anything in the
relationship just to get what the dominator wants, a .....

Analysis Of David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
.... love, hate, will, desire and so on. His
argument to this is that, he says, take a blind or deaf man that has been
blind or deaf since birth. They cannot picture color or sound, though they
have the natural capacities for such. They simply lack the necessary
"impression" of sound or color, as so they can visualize and manipulate
these concepts with their imaginations.
These all seem like good philosophical argumentation, and are
highly convincing, except for one seemingly overlooked flaw. Later .....

Barry Sanders breaking the record for the most rushing yards in a single
season, and Hulk Hogan winning the WWF World Championship Title 5 times.
Aside from the heroes mentioned above, there are s .....

Lewis' "Surprise By Joy": Analysis
.... Lewis
canon that speaks directly and unabashedly about his personal life. Given
the almost stifling attention that Lewis's private life has received since
his death in 1963, Surprised by Joy stands apart as an astonishingly candid
yet self-effacing volume by one widely-regarded as the premier Christian
apologist of the twentieth century. Lewis proceeds in Surprised by Joy as
one reluctant to reveal specific details of his life but who relents, as he
suggests in the preface, in order both to answer "reque .....

Comparison Of The Views Of Bonaventure, Beauvoir, And Marx In Their Works
.... itself as the image of God. By
this quote Bonventure is trying to say that humans are being shaped more
and more by society than they are by God. In a sense, humans are being led
astray by all the ongoing imperfections, which bombard our society today.
We tend to immerse ourselves into the problems of the world and forget
about God. Bonaventre says we cannot allow ourselves to shut out our Lord
out of our lives. He notes, "when one has fallen, he must lie where he is
unless another is at hand to .....

from his home planet. The rocket finally crashed in a field in Smallville,
Kansas. Luckily, at that exact time, an older couple, Jonathan and Martha
Kent, were driving by. The impact of the rocket gave their truck a flat
tire.
When the Kents saw the little boy in the spaceship, they thought he
was part of "some cruel Russian space experiment" (Kents 1). They were
going to turn him into an orphanage, but decided that no one wanted him,
so they .....

they don't know the bomb even went off. The people die from the bomb and
all but one house is left standing. Ray Bradbury uses the conflict man v.s.
nature to convey his theme that technology will outlive humans.
In The "Masque of the Red Death", Edgar Allen Poe conveys his
theme through the setting. The seven rooms of Prince Prospero's castle
symbolize the life of a person. The seven rooms of the castle are colored
coded with the last one being black which stands for .....

all wanted a piece of the same land. That land was Morocco. All three of
these countries wanted it, but only one of them could control it. This

Jim was in love with his wife, and would do anything for her, as would Mr.
Loisel. Both couples were very thrifty when it came to money. Since they
were poor, they were good at saving their money for items they needed,
like groceries, and for special purposes. Both of these stories had
themes, though the themes are very different from each other. Jim and
Della taught us that it was better to give than to receive because even
