- 16142: In Cold Blood
- ... Kansas. Capote has said that part of his reasoning for choosing to write about the Clutter murders was the remoteness of the setting. He wanted to broaden his writing subjects beyond the too-narrow personal world with which most writers concern themselves. The setting of "In Cold Blood" matters very much to the symbolism of the plot. The novel begins on the day that the murders take place. The Clutter family ... actions. The book follows the story to the trial and execution of the killers, and spares few details throughout. I believe that by looking back to Holcomb, Kansas is a good reminder that the real world is sufficiently dark and disturbing on its own. This was an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone who likes those ‘edge-of-your-seat’ thrillers. Though this book was made into a mini ...

- ... ANYTHING he wanted on live, human subjects. Life was good for Mengele at Auschwitz, everyday he got luxuries: a fifth of a liter of vodka, a dozen cigarettes, and German sausage.

It was not uncommon for an ... to do experiments on. He wanted to erase these traits from the "pure" Aryan race. Mengele was very interested in doing autopsies on twins who had died at the exact same time, in the real world one twin might die at 7 while the other might die at 77, but in this closed environment he could study twins who had died at the same moment. Many of Mengele's experiments were ...
- 16145: Euthanasia Is Not The Answer
- ... the issue of Euthanasia or sometimes called “mercy killing” will continue to be debated. The issue is now being debated in the courts. According to the National Review, “In 1995 two lawsuits were filed in New York and Washington State by a handful of terminally ill people and doctors claiming that state laws that made assisting in suicide a criminal offense were unconstitutional.” (1) What I find most troubling is how ... his victims are depressed and disabled not terminally ill. Most people from his state support him. National review states, “Kevorkian is so popular in Oakland County, where he makes his home, that the county’s new district attorney campaigned on a platform of refusing to enforce the state’s common law that forbids assisted suicide.”(1) This is absolutely outrageous that anyone could support someone like Kevorkian. The bright side to ...

- 16148: Candide: Voltaire's View of Human Condition
- ... of Voltaire) Comparing to Swift’s work on how he demonstrates the aspect of actual human behavior, Voltaire shows how the claim of a reasonable common law avoids the difficult problems of living in a world where human beings have become liars, traitors, and murderers.

However, they do not follow it correctly; for instance, when Candide and Cacambo find themselves in the earthly paradise of ... not like Gulliver, they acquire wisdom, learning to withstand “three great evils, boredom, vice, and poverty,” by working hard at what is left to work with and avoiding ineffective speculation about the nature of the world. Although, Voltaire’s view of human condition shows a similarity of Swifts beliefs, he allows conditional hope for simple gratitude in this life. Greed, malice, and lust do not consist of the total probability for ...
