- ... much less save it." As an opponent to abortion, I will readily agree, as will all those who are against abortion, that pregnancy resulting from rape or incest is a tragedy. Rape is a detestable crime, but no sane reasoning can place the slightest blame on the unborn child it might produce. Incest is, if that is possible, even worse, but for centuries, traditional Jewish law has clearly stated, that if a father sins against his daughter (incest) that does not justify a second crime - the abortion of the product of that sin.

- 2094: Television and Movie Violence
- ... openings. These films portray the respect and greed of the lifestyle being imitated by the viewers. They too want to achieve that life style, and they try to act like the actors. In another senseless crime connected with the exposure to the media, a nine-year old Olivia Niemi was sexually assaulted with a discarded beer bottle on a deserted beach in San Francisco. The four girls who took part in the attack said they were imitating a scene form Born Innocent, an NBC television movie they watched three days before they committed the crime. The movie, which takes place in a girl's reform school, shows a new inmate cornered by four girls and graphically raped with the handle of a plumber's plunger (Levine, 1996, p.12). It ...

- ... solicitings cannot be evil, cannot be good." Still, he is provided with so much natural good that he is able to control the apprehensions of his inordinate imagination and decides to take no step involving crime. His autonomous decision not to commit murder, however, is not in any sense based upon moral grounds. No doubt he normally shrinks from the unnaturalness of regicide; but he so far ignores ultimate ends that ... his roof-we may even say that the consequences which he fears are not at all inward and spiritual, It is to be doubted whether he has ever so far considered the possible effects of crime and evil upon the human soul-his later discovery of horrible ravages produced by evil in his own spirit constitutes part of the tragedy. Hi is mainly concerned, as we might expect, with consequences involving ...

- ... feel them then you are a criminal. Therefore the people of Oceana disregard their emotions. Every citizen has been emotionally crippled, incapable of having, expressing or understanding their feelings. In Oceana love is a treacherous crime, the state wishes for procreation sex and nothing more, even attempting to remove sex by artificial insemination. The states goal is power, and the party's power is maintained by supporting an anarchy of sedation ... orders, they have no freedom. All actions are bound by the police force.

With all the people being injured or killed in schools by guns ,Knives, bombs and other ammunitions, more ... kids can sneak in weapons to school. In 1990 congress made it a felony to bring a gun within one thousand feet of any school under the "Gun-Free School Zones" provision of the 1990 crime prevention package.

- ... the king would be the perfect way to come to power in a society governed by an elected monarchy. The final option is that Gertrude truly is innocent of all knowledge of her husband's crime and is in fact a victim of circumstance. Based upon the literal interpretations this would seem to be the most plausible. Which interpretation Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote Hamlet we will probably never know, but it is the open ended questions in his works that make them great.
