- 5793: Paralytic - Sylvia Plath
- ... the day outside glides by like ticker tape. The night brings violets, Tapestries of eyes, Lights, The soft anonymous Talkers: "You all right?" The starched, inaccessible breast.

At the white, tight Drum of my sleeping couch Photographs visit me- My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs, Mouth full of pearls, Two girls As flat as she, who whisper ... doing this for good reason. Comparing her lungs to dust bags is a curious thought, however. It seems as though if a person's lungs are full of dust, they must not breath in any new air. This seems to suggest that her life is very repetitive and there is nothing new for her, or perhaps that she does not want to bring in new air. The third stanza explains what God is trying to do. He "will not/let me relapse/while the day outside ...
- 5794: Into The Abyss Marquis De Sade
- ... indicated it fickleness and changing nature. If morality was obliged and subject to society, than it was also a social construct. These distinctions were essential. The idea of utility, of welfare and happiness, was the new code that directed enlightened thought. Yet, the concept of happiness as a fundamental priority in one's life inevitably led to the idea of hedonism. If the individual pursuit of happiness were what was to ... believed that culture was artificial, that it was constructed by society and not natural. Rousseau, however, still believed that culture should transcend an indifferent and amoral nature. He accounts for evil and justice in the world and urges to fight against them, to transcend them. It was inevitable, and logical that the Marquis de Sade would be able to put the inconsistencies enlightened self-interest with La Mettrie's and Rousseau ... This concept of the strong benefiting from the weak is a fundamental credo of the Marquis's sexual behavior. Another proponent in Sade's system was that, "egoistic pleasure was the sole value in a world in which acts are morally indifferent; the greater the pleasure, the greater the value of the act." Coupled with the idea that pleasure is best achieved by subjecting the weak to the strong's ...
- 5795: Drug Prohibition
- ... Drug Prohibition, rather goals of it, whether it was understood or not. The United States' image in Latin America has been precarious nearly from its birth. The image of the American intent on dominating the New World plays in the minds of our neighbors. Recently, though, the situation is interesting since the countries involved are growing less and less complacent to deal with the losses of sovereignty that they are incurring. Drug ... our obedience and taxes in return for protection of our rights. The United Nations classifies these rights in three "generations": civil, socioeconomic, and solidarity rights (Peterson). Shielding our people from the dangers of a threatening world, therefore, seems to be an appropriate use of the state's power under socioeconomic rights. The danger in thinking in this manner is that it overlooks the individual's contributions to the nation. These ...

- ... rain has on humans has not been effectively studied. However, scientists believe that occurrences of respiratory diseases such as asthma may be on the rise. Acid rain is also causing many historical buildings around the world to erode and decay at an increasingly higher rate. Since the early 1970s, many efforts have been made to reduce the air pollution that causes acid rain. The United States government passed the first ... tailpipe emissions, as well as mandating the development of cleaner fuels to be used in metropolitan areas. It listed 189 specific toxic chemicals to be regulated as hazardous air pollutants, as well as establishing a new permitting program for stationary sites of industrial air pollution. These sources of air pollution were now required to have an EPA-issued operating permit that specified allowable emissions (Kraft 87). These governmental controls have effectively ... among the rich and the poor nations. This has a large impact on the ability of those poorer countries to address environmental concerns.

In order to effectively solve any global problem, the nations who are most affected by the problem, and would benefit the ...
- 5797: Canadian Family Enetering 21st
- ... Some feel that family life "is not what it used to be" and have a very negative view on the subject. Others more optimistic argue that families are not dying but are being reborn in new forms and styles. Society is ever changing therefore, so is the family institution. The old "Leave it to Beaver" view on family life is being quickly overtaken with a new millennium, where there is no "set" standard norm. Although the causes and effects of the breakdown of the Canadian family unit in the 21st century are numerous, there are many ways in which families are ... their wives and children. A shocking 68 percent of assaults on mothers are witnessed by children (Leighton 132). Canadians like to imagine the family as a refuge from the stresses and strains of the outside world. While this is true, there is another reality. The family is both the most loving and supportive of human groups and also by far the most violent group or institution. (The Vanier Institute of ...

- 5799: Immigration To Canada
- ... of the immigrants came from these regions. The majority of the immigrants were natives of southern and Eastern Europe, with nationals of Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Russia constituting more than half of the total. Until World War I, immigration had generally increased in volume annually. From 1905 to 1914 an average of more than a million aliens entered Canada every year. With the outbreak of war, the volume declined sharply, and the annual average from 1915 to 1918 was little more than 250,000. In 1921 the number again rose; 800,000 immigrants were admitted. Thereafter the number fell in response to new conditions in Europe and to the limitations established by U.S. law.

- 5800: Images Of Control Progaganda
- ... leader of the state, and the dehumanizing of the states enemies. After Adolf Hitler was proclaimed Chancellor of Germany in 1933 he started to establish a Nazi government. It became immediately apparent that the new government would have to get the peoples unquestioned support. Although the Nazi party had been relatively popular before Hitler became Chancellor, there was still opposition to be found in some people. One tactic that was used by the Nazi propagandists was to use a hero to symbolize all that could be accomplished under the new National Socialist government. A hero is also useful to rally the people behind something that they can relate to and have sympathy for. The obvious example of this is the Nazi glorification of Horst Wessel ... with two successive Five Year Plans. During the 1930s, Soviet propaganda artists shifted focus from the single image of a blacksmith, used in the early days of Communist Russia, to represent the worker to a new image of many workers working together for the common good (Bonnell, 1997, pp. 34 35). This was often presented in photomontages of actual soviet workers. Actual photographs took away the feeling of this is ...
