- 211: Fixing Belief
- ... has been and always will be numerous different page 4 opinions. People are aware of this, but still many constituents feel that all of their answers are the right ones. For example, the issue of abortion could be brought to the forefront. In a political science discussion session a few days ago, abortion was the topic of choice for the afternoon. The discussion was a forum for everyone in the class to express their opinions freely and peacefully, without interruption. That lasted for about 30 seconds, as everyone ... The political commercials that we see around election time also make a strong case in that they are trying to sway any and all people that they can to come believe their way of thinking. Abortion is not the only topic that causes a raucous like this in politics. Mostly anything political seems to stir a rise from the crowd. Other topics of this nature would be welfare, social security, ...
- 212: Teenage Sex
- ... 1997). Teenage parents or just plain teenagers find it difficult to work for minimum wage, and even more difficult to find an employer who will hire them. Some teenagers feel the need to turn to abortion as a way of solving their problems. I personally feel that abortion should not be accepted in any case other than rape, but that's not what this paper is about. About 23 states have passed anti-PBA (partial birth abortions) laws as of August of 1998 (Robinson, 1999). Illinois is among those 23. In some states, the legal age to have an abortion with no authorization is 17. That is too young to be deciding the life (or death) of an innocent human being. Another major concern for teenagers having sex is that some people feel that ...
- 213: Bioethics
- ... was responsible for construing ethical guidelines for the people to abide by. Although the report deals with ethics in the bio-medical studies, it emphasizes more on other issues.

These examples are true and show how far some people would let their curiosities take them. They are not necessary and such researcher should be suspended. More examples of bioethics are such things like abortion and euthanasia. Genetic engineering, organ transplants, prostheses and artificial insemination are just a few examples that are considered to be unethical by some and ethical for others. Even such things as surrogate motherhood are considered ... they cannot be performed if they involve interfering with what is not rightfully their own. This is like taking someone's life into your own hands, "playing god" as many say is a sin. Especially abortion, euthanasia, any birth control etc. This leaves society with no room for advancement, yet being a believer in G-D, the points sound valid ethically, yet more religiously. Many people of today's society ...
- 214: Hills Like White Elephants
- ... but has just as much meaning as any short story that I have read. The man and the woman are at a train station haveing a altercation about weather or not she should get a abortion. She does not want to. It is ovious in the things she says to the man. She says "I dont't care about me. And then I'll do it and everything will be fine"(1). She is saying that she only cares about him, and dose not care about herself. If she did care about herself, then she definatly would not get a abortion. She can not just tell him straight out that she wants to have this baby. The woman is so in love with the man, that she is willing to take the life of her unborn ... I wants her to do it, and will keep talking about it until she agrees to do it. This man and womans relationship is going to go down hill from the time she has the abortion.

- 215: Bioethics In A Brave New World
- ... around us today. There are the good: greater knowledge of organisms, vaccines, and the greater knowledge of our own bodies. However to every good result there is also a bad or immoral result, such as, abortion and genetic engineering. The problem does not lie in the deed itself as much as it lies in the people who perform these actions. Many times doctors are technicians disposing medicine rather that one who ... McCormick, 21). Ethical thoughts are blunted in a country with immoral values (McCormick, 21). More and more doctors forget the gift of life and make inhumane decisions. As in the medical procedures of euthanasia and abortion. As Richard A. McCormick stated, "The most basic value in the practice of medicine is obviously the sanctity of live."

- ... Elephants is about a man and a woman who are at a train station in Madrid, Spain.

They have only forty minutes (the time they have to wait for their train to arrive) to make their decision. At the end of the story, the woman is still not certain if she should have the abortion operation. In Hills Like White Elephants , there are many examples of the iceberg theory. One strong example was when the woman, referring to the hills, says, They look like white elephants. The woman later says ... by the dark and shadowy side of the valley represents the man.

The four members of the Oklahoma Constitutional Militia were arrested before any of their plans were ... charges in April 1996. This group of terrorist seemed to have been unsatisfied with the way society has changed in recent years. They do not like things that are common in our society now like abortion and homosexuality. It can be inferred that they are unhappy with how society has become and wants society to change by any means necessary. In this case, bombs would have made a devastating and deadly ... were either blown up or burned, but he did not really consider them terrorist activity necessarily but more rather vandalism and arson. Where did most of these bomb threats occur? Mostly at places such as abortion clinics and churches with specific races such as Black and Jewish. I found that this was quite interesting because it falls into the model of Coopers idea that terrorist are driven by their ...
- 218: Reverence
- ... 1938, he broke with the Communist party. In the Communist party children were viewed as only a distraction that would hamper his more important work. Therefore, abortions were commonplace in party life. Chambers looked upon abortion with "physical horror". His wife got pregnant and she begged him not to have an abortion. The child was born and they named Ellen. That was the first moment in his life that led him to lose faith in the Communist ideology. The second decisive moment occurred when his daughter was ... of the Communist who had supplied him with documents to be turned over to Communist agents. Hiss was indicted and sentenced to prison.

- ... a struggling person in the hall, that is based on your morals. When you decide to turn down a brewsky because you believe that drinking is wrong, that is morals. When you vote to keep abortion legal, that is morals. Whether thought of or done subconsciously, morals are the basis on how you make many decisions. From where does this sense of right or wrong originate from? Freud says that moral ... While most of these wars where in the earth's earlier history, still today such things happen. Such violence is not always necessarily on an international level as well. Such localized acts of violence as abortion clinic bombs show a clear difference of opinion. Morals clearly plan an intricate role in our lives. Without them, decisions would be based on a completely random level, and life could never have organization. Without ...
- 220: Constitutional Democracy
- ... will be adopted by our government. There must be an allowance or willingness on behalf of the unpopular group to lose. Popular consent may provide a means for judging parental consent laws for minors seeking abortion.

The Constitution states all people have the right to life, liberty and freedom. This is a bit idealistic because one person's liberty may infringe upon another person's freedom. Take abortion for example. Although it is legal and feminists consider it liberty, it takes away another persons freedom to life. The Constitution did not provide protection of rights to the unborn. Another issue, if a person ...
