- 671: Human Awareness Essay On Cloni
- ... weather or not we could clone humans, but weather or not we should. Firstly I would like to say that I strongly disagree with the use of cloning for the purpose of parents “choosing” their child. By simply producing characteristics to the parents needs society would be pointless. Everyone in the world would be walking around looking like famous starts like Marilyn Monroe and everyone would be made to look beautiful. I cant imagine too many parents choosing their child to look ugly. Society would be dull and boring because everyone would be the same. Cloning will certainly expand the scope of medicine greatly, thus enhance the possibilities of conquering diseases such as AID’S ... available to those who need it for medical help. I don’t think cloning should be used just to make an exact copy of your self or someone else nor should it be used in child birth because I think altering your child to look like someone else is wrong and shouldn’t be allowed. If everyone did start making clones of themselves we would have a huge population problem. ...

- ... boy with pus from a diseased cow. The list goes on, and such experiments continue even until today. Nowadays these experiments would be ethically and legally unacceptable. Nevertheless, there have been clear documented cases of abuse in recent times. An example of this is the experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners in the concentration camps during the Holocaust.

- 674: Bullying In School - Relevant Articles
- ... devastating problem that affects children of all ages. A proposed solution is for children to adopt a non-violent yet defiant stance towards bullying. While this solution is preferable, it is potentially dangerous for the child.

In fact, teens have had a jump from 28% illicit drug use in 1992 to a 40% illicit drug use in ... number of users and number of deaths are from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Another assumption of drug decriminalization is that there will not be a large increase in the number of people who abuse drugs. If many people were likely to become addicts, there would be good reason not to go through with drug decriminalization. While both decriminalizationists and prohibitionists agree that the legalization of drugs will lead to more people using drugs, decriminalizationists believe that there would not be a large increase in drug abuse.

- 678: The Discovery of The New World Changed European Conceptions, Views, and Material Conditions
- ... on the mistreatment did the violence actually subside. “With the intensification of religious divisions in late sixteenth century Europe, Las Casas’s work became a potent propaganda tool” (Schlisinger, p.41) The Spaniards continued to abuse the Native Americans until finally, the “New Laws” were set up in 1542. The New Laws ordered a reform in the administration of Spanish territories in America and laid down new regulations of Native Americans ... they were wrong – only that they had a different outlook.

- 679: Advertising And Alcohol
- Advertising and Alcohol Alcohol manufacturers use a variety of unscrupulous techniques to advertise alcoholic beverages to children. Perhaps the worst example is Anheuser-Busch Co., the world's largest brewer, which uses child-enticing cartoon images of frogs, dogs, penguins and lizards in ads for Budweiser beer. These Budweiser cartoon characters are hugely popular with children, just like Joe Camel ads. A KidCom Marketing study once found these ... no power to impose their container or packaging warnings. They may, however, be able to impose warning labels on advertising, because federal law does not address this question. Advertising increases alcohol consumption, which increases alcohol abuse…right? WRONG. There is no solid evidence from either scientific research or practical experience that this theory of advertising is correct. A study by the Federal Trade Commission found that there is "no reliable basis to conclude that alcohol advertising significantly affects consumption, let alone abuse." Advertising does not increase consumption. For example, alcohol brand advertising was first introduced in New Zealand in 1992. While advertising continues to increase, consumption continues to fall. WHAT ADVERTISING DOES If advertising doesn't ...
