- ... different parts of his novel, and to different degrees. At the beginning of the novel, on page 12, we see through Paul Bäumer s comments regarding Kantorek that he and his friends were taught in school of the glory of war.

All of the knowledge they had acquired via their studies was not applicable in the trenches. Instead of having to know, for instance, How many inhabitants has Melbourne ...
- 3224: Corporal Punishment Is Physical Abuse
- ... the restoration of corporal punishment for certain crimes, hoping that it will effect the reaction against an ever increasing amount of crime.

- ... comes when one looks at the widespread use of Marijuana in our society. Marijuana is one of the most widely used illegal substances in the world. In a recent survey performed in a suburban high school over 80% of the graduating class admitted to smoking pot.

God instilled in man’s ancestor a series of traits that were beneficial at the time. With ... with a theory that is as equally grounded in tangible evidence. The “science” of creationism can only furiously try to disprove any theory that rivals that which they have been taught every week in Sunday school.
