- 1331: The Ice Storm Book Vs. Movie C
- ... myriad number of sexual terms that Wendy was thinking about. This scene shows how she was curious in learning what these things were. It basically emphasizes the motif of sexual exploration. The scenes of sexual abuse that would explain or justify the extreme sexual curiosity that Wendy has is left out of the movie. Her father humiliated her with language until she did so called her a slut and a hooker and a princess (237). While that may be mildly shocking, the shocking scene is where her mother restrained Wendy in a choke hold (238). All of this abuse was cut from the movie, it was probably too dramatic and shocking to show on TV. The fact is that the abuse made Wendy stray further from her parents and search for love of some shape or form. Instead Wendy mixed up love and sex. The movie cuts out the explanation of Wendy s sexual prowess ...
- 1332: Brave New World Vs Reality
- ... New World, Adlous Huxley envisions the future of our society and the dangerous direction it is headed in. Brave New World is greatly dependant upon soma, as in our world where prescribed drugs and drug abuse are prominent. This is evident when Bernard and Lenina return from the Savage Reservation. Lenina is devastated from her experiences, so decides to take soma. It illustrates how like our world when something upsets us instead of trying to solve the problem we use drugs to mask them. Linda's addiction to soma is also an illustration of the similarities of drug abuse between our two worlds. Linda's return to Brave New World after many years brings her to the abuse of soma. She uses it as an escape from reality. Some of us use drugs to escape from the harshness and the tough brutality of reality. We always dream of the perfect utopia and ...
- 1333: Philosophy - Mills Utilitarian
- ... It is generally good for society to reward people for doing right and to punish them for doing wrong. Using this belief in the value of justice, a utilitarian would have more trouble torturing the child of the terrorist than with torturing the terrorist. The dilemma would be similar to that of precedent. A utilitarian would ask how much it will harm society's faith in the punishment of evildoers and the protection of the innocent to torture the child. The sum of the consequences would then be compared to the sum of the welfare considerations to decides whether or not to torture the terrorist and whether or not to torture the child of the terrorist. In some way, these things must therefore all be comparable and assigned weights; however, Utilitarianism offers no method of comparison. There must be some percentage of consideration given to the harmful ...
- 1334: Orphan Trains
- ... had farm leagues for children (These are the Good Old Days, 19). During the time of the late 1800's and early 1900's many people were trying to help children. Progressive reformers, often called "child saver," attempted to curb exploitation of children (The American Promise, 834). One of the people who was obsessed with the plight of children was a man named Charles Brace. He created the NY "Children's ... the viewer sees haw people tried to solve the problem with children on the streets. There was a lot of controversy over this subject. People didn't know if it was better to take a child from his/her parent that was suppressed in poverty or send the child to a farm or elsewhere to work and start a new life. Brace believed the farmers would welcome homeless children, take them into their homes and treat them as their own (The Orphan Trains, ...
- 1335: Cloning
- ... projects, and are now simply emerging again, with its focus on three major points: the shift from sexual reproduction with that of asexual replication of existing genes; the ability to predetermine the genes of a child; and the ability to create many genetically identical children (Report/Recommendations of the NBAC). The public responded to Dolly with a mixture of fear and excitement, questioning the benefits and the disasters that could happen ... harm put upon those involved with the process. First, Dolly was the only success out of 277 attempts. With humans, there is the risk of hormonal mutations, multiple miscarriages, and possibly developmental deformities in the child, and no one knows how many attempts it will take until a clone is finally born. But as with all pregnancies, the prospective parents are allowed to carry the baby to term, because of the parents right to reproductive freedom. But the aspect of physical harm is not a liable one, because there is no way for us to know if the child will go through any kind of harm until human cloning is attempted (Report/Recommendations of the NBAC). One of the basic fears associated with cloning is eugenics, basically an attempt to improve the human ...

- 1337: Crime And Punishment: Characterization
- ... And Punishment, into any of the various parts in the dream. Each part that a character takes on leads to a different conclusion about that character. Raskolnikov himself "fits" into the positions of Mikolka, the child, and the mare. If Mikolka, the drunken owner of the mare, were to represent Raskolnikov, then the mare would most probably represent Alyona Ivanovna. The senseless beating of the mare by Mikolka is similar to ... contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils Raskolnikov's cruel side during this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way. On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating, realizes the absurdity of it. He even rushes to Mikolka, ready to punish him for killing the mare. This illustrates Rodion's internal struggle while contemplating the murder of Alyona. His humane side, the child, tells him to live and let live. And his "extraordinary" side, according to his definition, tells him that he should eliminate Alyona altogether, for the good of man kind. On the other side of ...

- 1339: The Influence of Parents on Their Children's Sexual Orientation
- ... women are also heterosexual (Golombok 4). According to a poll taken by Northwestern University almost 95% of people expect children of homosexual parents to be homosexual themselves (Bailey 125). This popular belief has affected many child custody decisions because of the possibility of the parents molesting the children, or the possibility of the children becoming homosexual themselves. Even if the children becoming homosexual is a possibility, why deny custody to a parent based on his or her sexuality? The question has been raised on what can and what can't make a child homosexual. Some believe that children learn by imitating their parents. This theory cannot be totally rejected, but due to recent research it is believed to be more unlikely. Others have said that children identify with ... were homosexual. He found out that 9% of the children of heterosexual parents polled were homosexual. This further supported his theory that parent influence does not contain that much weight in whether or not a child becomes homosexual.

- 1340: Argumentative Essay On The Gla
- ... too, at all ages. Amanda Wingfield possessed none of these qualities. She had her own intentions for her children, and was determined to have her children live these out. To be successful in raising a child, one must always take into consideration what the child itself wants. There is no use in trying to raise a child to be something that it has no intention of being. This is something of a common occurrence, and it is unfortunate how many young dreams are smashed by parents who want "only the best" ...
