- 2701: Apathy 2
- ... Dole, I think he is making himself look older by speaking about certain issues we (young people) can not relate to.

While Bob Dole is a isolated instance, many youthful voters feel that there is a ever ... are not the only ones who can use a hassle-full life as an excuse not to get involved. There is another major reason that young people feel isolated and set apart from the political world.

- ... own schooling either out of my pocket or by getting student loans. When I first started working for this company they were short handed and all the employees at the store I started at were new to each other. That is they had worked for the company at other stores but had not worked together. I was hired when the manager went to his yearly manager meeting in Reno. When I ... training that I received were two videos. One video was on "Smith's Safe Driving Techniques", and the other was "In-Home Deliveries and In-Store Deliveries". Through working with the company I learned many new things. We got the newest and latest electronic equipment and computers, so I had to stay on top of technology. All of this training I did by myself, no one helped me out and no one looked over my shoulder. I have always been able to grasp new concepts and run with them, so learning new items were fun and interesting. Also through working with the company I learned that they had a big turn-over ratio of employees. Employees were either ...
- 2703: Pop Art 2
- ... of the critic might play a role in the appraisal (Duncan 87). Older generations born before the 1960s remember the exuberant optimism that lay at the core of Pop, superficial, maybe, but promising a fresh world of demotic feeling (Bann, 121). In the 1960s, the shock of Pop, the excitement of happenings, and the cool of minimalism, provided an emergence of a new attitude. According to Jahn, "happenings directly challenged viewers' perceptions of social patterns and of conformity to conventions" (66). Pop, like so many other styles of art, raised questions of meaning: Was it art? What was the message? Was it the celebration or parody of the mass-consumer world? Happenings and Pop Art evoked strong emotional response during this era. Artworks in this style challenged social conventions and offered models for new ways to relate to our culture and to one another (Gablic, ...
- 2704: Allen Ginsberg : Howl
- ... called, Allen Ginsberg rises above the rest as the pseudo-poet laureate of the group (Burns 125). His most well-known poem, "HOWL", caused an incredible amount of controversy; however, it also forever changed the world of poetry. Allen Ginsberg was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1926 to an upstanding middle class Jewish family. In a lifetime of literary accomplishment, he has moved from the position of a curiosity on the borders of society to become the hero of ... order in which it now appears.

- 2705: The Battle of Gettysburg
- The Battle of Gettysburg "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great Civil War; testing whether this nation, or any nation so conceived and so ... their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate-- we cannot consecrate-- we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work ...

- 2707: Mp3 Argument
- ... never heard it before - exactly as it would sound in the artists recording studio. Among other things, we have digital audio technology to thank for that. But we have recently been presented with something new that some may give thanks for - Moving Picture Experts Group Technology, Layer-III, better known as MP3. To those outside the complicated world of the Internet and technology, MP3 probably will not ring any bells. But anyone who has accessed the Internet or skimmed through any popular magazines lately will likely recognize MP3 and the propaganda surrounding it. I do not want to bombard you with numerous technological terms, but a brief explanation is necessary in order to understand arguments surrounding the issue. MP3 is a new way to save, copy, and play audio files on a computer. The audio files are near CD-quality and take up very little space on a computers hard drive. Previously, high-quality audio ...
- 2708: Abort
- ... an embryo or a foetus. Abortion destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children and illegal in many countries. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong. Everyone is raised knowing the difference between right and wrong. Murder is wrong, so why is not abortion? People argue that it is not murder if ... bones and limbs are disposed. However, how and when an abortion takes place are matters of little importance to pro- abortionists and other defenders. Even former abortion practitioners from varying backgrounds and religions have a new view on abortion. These changes of heart were caused by psychological, religious and scientific reasons. One doctor, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, performed 60,000 abortions and supervised 10,000, before scientific evidence and the use of ... abortion is not just life, but how life is created and the extent to which human intention and control the process, both before and after birth.

- ... have lived until recently isolation for our kind culture. The interesting thing about the group is tat they have managed to retain their native pattern of warfare and political integrity without interference from the outside world.

- 2710: The Parable Of The Cave
- ... Apology, Socrates relates that the most important goal in life is the improvement of the soul. We should search others, our environment, and ourselves so that we may come to a better understanding of the world. The Parable of the Cave tells of the journey that Socrates was trying to relate, in that each person is faced with different realities as we travel to try and reach "the intellectual world." This journey of enlightenment draws close parallels to another piece of literature by Robert Frost. In his poem "The Road Not Taken," he describes how he felt as he came upon the fork in the road and chose to take the road less traveled "and that has made all the difference." The use of life as a journey is nothing new to literature, but with Plato and Frost both show that this journey is not easy and there are many choices along the way that we must make that will determine the quality of the ...
