- 1151: A Look at Abortion
- ... granted by the constitution. Instead Roe vs. Wade had been a continuing reminder to the conscience of this nation. The nation reflects today that we can't diminish the value of human life(the unborn child) without diminishing the value of all human life including each and everyone of us. Mother Teresa once said Abortion is the greatest moral crisis that faces the world today. What is the real issue how can we call a mother a mother if she aborts her child, she is no longer a mother. If you don't know a body is alive you don't bury it and for medical reasons, the doctor treats the mother and the child as the child is alive. The history an abortion occurred as early as 377bc by using boiled garlic, a sea scorpion on a wool pad, or squirting cucumbur in double amounts into the fetus. ...
- 1152: Myotonic Dystrophy
- ... to 30 repeat copies; mildly affected persons, from 50 to 80; and severely affected individuals, 2,000 or more copies. The presence of the genetic alteration may first be identified in a family when a child is born with the form of the condition known as congenital myotinic dystrophy. As the gene is passed on from generation to generation, the condition may have an earlier age of onset and more serious clinical features in each succeeding generation - a phenomenon referred to as anticipation. Anticipation occurs more frequently when the gene is passed from mother to child rather than from father to child. Anticipation appears to be explained by the ability of the gene to expand from generation to generation. Amplification is frequently observed after parent-to-child transmission, but extreme amplifications are not transmitted through the ...
- 1153: Observation of the Early Childhood
- ... up the slide with a considerable amount of effort. She quickly crawled through the tunnel and crossed the shaky bridge with little effort. She crossed the balance beam more quickly than I'd seen any child do that whole day. Bethany climbed up the slide in a time that was a bit quicker than Karligh's. The crawling through the tunnel was done quickly and she was first stalled on the ... wooden boxes and a long board, and proceed to put the objects away as they sing the "clean up song." The second part of the social and cognitive development section is where I observed a child drawing a picture. William is the five year old artist I observed. William is making a noble effort trying to draw an airplane. Probably the most interesting part of William's drawing is the human ... airplane. On the head of the plane, William has drawn in two eyes and a smiling mouth. The only thing left out(reasonably speaking that is when taking into consideration that a five year old child is drawing this) is a fully developed tail. William was unwilling to give up his picture for my project. The counting section was short and sweet. Once again the observation is back in the ...
- 1154: Abortion: Points of View
- ... at that. Yet the endless debates on the topic usually go nowhere, leaving the opponents even more committed to their positions and the open-minded observers confused. Both sides make a good case. An unwanted child is a pitiful thing, and the attendant social problems (single motherhood, financial destitution, child neglect, and urban overcrowding, to name just a few) do not have easy solutions. On the other hand, the thought of terminating something that, if left to run its natural course, would ultimately result in ... different topic. We make no progress because we are not talking about the same thing. The pro-abortionist prefers to discuss choice, and to dwell on all of the social problems inherent in an unwanted child. The anti-abortionist is interested primarily in protecting the life of the fetus. In simple terms, the pro-abortionist focuses on a woman's rights and the anti-abortionist focuses on a fetus' rights. ...
- 1155: Hamlet: Revenge: Once An Honor, Now A Crime
- ... brothers, like Hamlet, also felt the need to seek revenge against someone by means of murder. The Menendez brothers claimed to have been sexually abused by their father when they were young. After years of abuse, the brothers decided they could no longer bare the pain and found the only way they could be justified was to kill their father - the source of their pain. Two years ago Lyle mesmerized viewers with his emotional tales of alleged sexual abuse by his father. That abuse had supposedly made him fear that Jose would kill him to keep the secret and thus had prompted him and Erik to kill their parents first. Although both the Menendez brothers and Hamlet both ...
- 1156: Disneys Influence On American
- ... start of an unbreakable alliance that has and will always remain synonymous. A brilliant creator and a lovable creation joined forces to become the most powerful influence on American culture. It is inevitable, that every child will be brought up with Disney. What began inside one man s head has now made a huge contribution to the way life is lived. It seems as though Disney is embedded in every child s mind, the second they are conceived. Carl Hiaasen writes: The secret weapon is trust. Disney is the most trusted brand name in the history of marketing. It hooks when we re little and never ... side, just as Disney does. Balance is needed in life; there is a downside to everything. Nothing, not even Disney can be perfect. Disney benefits society far more than it harms it. The joy a child gets from seeing Peter Pan flying over Neverland can t be bought, it is already inside, waiting to be let out. Disney provides a way for those emotions to be set free. Necessary steps ...
- 1157: Faust: The Dichotomy Of Gretchen
- ... depiction of a virgin mother of sorts. Goethe portrays her as such through her experience with her younger sister. Earlier in the play, Gretchen explains how she raised her sister alone. She cared for the child and treated it as her own, all the way up to its early death. "I raised it and it loved me completely [Mother] could not think of suckling it herself, the poor babe pitifully wee. And so I brought it up, and quite alone, with milk and water; so it became my own." (3130-3) Gretchen was like a mother to the child, though she remained a virgin. She combines the maternal nature of a mother with the innocent purity of a girl. Just as Gretchen is connected to Mary as a virgin mother, she feels closeness to Mary because of her suffering. The prayer Gretchen recites expresses Mary's pain at the loss of her son, a foreshadowing of Gretchen's own pain that comes at the death of her child. Gretchen's deep emotions suggest that she is still innocent and pure. This image contrasts sharply with the suggestion that she could kill her child later on. She calls herself "the whore, who killed ...
- 1158: Lord of the Flies: Opportunity
- ... but at times seem like little mischievous devils. Children enjoy having fun and causing trouble but under some supervision can be obedient little boys and girls. Everybody, at one time in their lives, was a child and knows what it is like to have no worries at all. Children have their own interests and react to different things in peculiar and sometimes strange ways. For example, children are enchanted with Barney ... shows that the children are more interested in playing than doing unexciting labor, which is expected of people their age. When children are without adults to look to for leadership, they look for an mature child for leadership. At the beginning of the novel, when the boys first realize they are all alone, they turn to Ralph for leadership. After Ralph calls the first meeting, Golding writes, "There was a stillness ... thinking of young children. Children would choose to play and have fun rather than work. When children need to look for leadership and there are no adults around to provide this, children look for another child who has adult-like qualities for leadership. Children are disobedient, violent and lose their natural child-like innocence when there are no adults to supervise them. A child's life is a long and ...

- 1160: Abortion Should Be Made Illegal
- ... Therefore, according to what John C. Willke says, abortion at ANY stage of pregnancy is the immoral taking of human life and should be illegal. "The bible makes it clear that to God the unborn child developing inside the womb is far more than mere fetal tissue. He inspired King David to write: "Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in ... 21:22, 23) has clearly stated that a person would be held accountable for hurting an unborn baby. (Young 25- 27) Take this for example; Say a woman is walking down the street carrying a child in her arms. Another woman is walking down that same street carrying a child, only this woman is carrying the child in her. Both children are dependent on their mothers, both just dependent in different ways. (Schwarz 35) Take another example "Suppose a woman suffers a miscarriage, A ...
