- ... prescribed an intravenous shot, a pain killer, and this would control the pain for perhaps two hours or a bit more. Then he would begin to moan, or whimper, very low, as though he didn't want to wake me. Then he would begin to howl, like a dog. When this happened, he would ring for a nurse, and ask for the pain-killer. The third night of his routine, a ... would be done to him?' The answer was obvious: the pound, and the chloroform. No human being with a spark of pity could let a living thing suffer so, to no good end." (James Rachel's The Morality of Euthanasia) The experience of Stewart Alsop, a respected journalist, who died in 1975 of a rare form of cancer gave an example on the morality of euthanasia. Before he died, he wrote ... to continue living until he felt the need to be confined to a bed. I cannot disagree with the fact that doctors do make mistakes, but they are more correct than they are wrong. Let's say that the patient chooses not to die but instead takes the medicines his doctor has prescribed for him. In doing so the patient is choosing for himself. He's making his own decisions; ...
- 12192: Millennium: Winners and Losers in the Coming World Order
- ... will vie with the Pacific power for the economic leaderships” (Attali 45). Global markets have triumphed in commerce during the twentieth century, and the central organizing principle of the coming century will be economics. Attali’s vision of how the more prosperous will live provides a chilling counter-point to our general euphoria about technology. In “Nomadic Man” he depicts humans in the “hyperindustrial” age, equipped with technological tools that enable them to be productive and mobile. They become privileged nomads, roaming the globe attached to cellular phones, portable fax machines, and waistband computers. Many people work all the time because they can’t get away from all the high tech paraphernalia, which he refers to as “Nomadic Objects.” “Microchip-based technologies, such as the transistor and the computer, have already opened the way for the unprecedented industrialization of ... in any other country. However, many people are refusing to believe that the United States is declining. Americans claim that they are blessed with “considerable financial technological, and demographic resources” (Attali 40). Many Americans don’t understand that if the United State doesn’t go through dramatic changes, Japan or Europe will suppress them. But while Europeans are overcoming their difficulties in trying to advance in the world market, Americans ...
- 12193: One Is Born A Woman
- ... belonging. In a scientific Darwinian fashion two sexes are necessary not only to perpetuate the species, but also to negate a "monoculture" of sorts and create the crucial adaptability needed to survive. However, it doesn't take science to explain, or solidify, the existence of two sexes; rather it is physically evident that two sexes exist - male and female. Yet the natural notion of two sexes which is taken as a ... class. Wittig in her reasoning pushes the limits of what can be conceivable and thus becomes absurd in her conclusion, there is nothing natural to a woman - even sex. By virtue of her absurdity Wittig's paper faces a conceptual problem, and has an inherent personal bias that has affected the forcefulness of the paper. Before any elucidation as to the exact argument Wittig sets forth a distinction must first be ... men which women have been the object is a political one and shows how [women] have ideologically been rebuilt into a natural group (Course Kit p. 68)." There is a fundamental assumption built into Wittig's reasoning here. Provided there is something natural to man and woman, this would necessarily exclude lesbianism. That is if men and women have natural roles, heterosexuality being normal because of two sexes in the ...
- 12194: Art Censorship
- Do's and Don'ts Originally, when the question of art censorship was first addressed I was quite ambivalent about my position. I felt indecisive because on one hand I feel that there should be freedom of ... yet, I find it rather distasteful. If we begin to limit the imagination and take away every form of ex-pression, what will be left? As well as a place of learning an educational institution's purpose is to generate and promote discussion. When the New Age racist, David Icke, wanted to speak at the University of Toronto the Canadian Jewish Congress was upset that an anti-Semite would be permitted to address the student population. However, the University's president, Dr. Prichard, argued that the University was a place that all learning avenues should be ex-plored. Within the framework of the University students would learn to discern right from wrong under the ...
- 12195: Teenagers
- Teenagers "But Mom why can't I?" I asked. "Because I said so that's why," my mother replied. "Come on Mom. You surely have a better reason than that, " I said. "Erica, you are seventeen years old and are still a teenager. As far as I'm concerned you will do what I damn well tell you to as long as you are living under this roof." "Aghh! You just don't understand!" I screamed. I've had this argument with my parents a thousand times over and I can almost guaranty that any other typical teenager has experienced it also. Why do all parents think ...
- 12196: Webhosting For An Online Store
- Webhosting For An Online Store When it comes to traditional, brick and mortar retail space, we've all heard the adage that it's "location, location,location" that counts. However, this adage holds equally true for an e-commerce Web site where the choice of a Web hosting service is one of the most important decisions that a Web merchant will have to make. Now much has been written on how to go about choosing a good Web hosting service, and I don't intend to repeat that advice here. However, an area that has not been adequately covered is what to do if you need to change your Web hosting service. Why would you want to change? Reasons ... the store runs on - whether CGI scripts or a fully-fledged Web commerce server - needs to be moved as well. So how do you go about changing to a new Web hosting service? Whilst it's impossible to give site-specific advice, there are three key things you will need: 1.A new Web hosting provider to move your site to 2.Access to your existing data, scripts etc. 3. ...
- 12197: Capote Vs. Krakauer
- ... and Krakauer do that in very different ways in In Cold Blood and Into Thin Air, they both reached the same end result: characters you believe. They give them thoughts, faces and personalities. They don’t portray everyone as flawless, they display the faults and the little quirks. They give them life through words, making these stories believable. Despite the fact both incidents happened years before each book was written, the ... Holcomb. Six years later Truman Capote wrote a very detailed book about the whole case, from the day of the murder to the court case prosecuting the two murderers, Dick and Perry. Although he wasn’t there when the four murders happened, through word choice, description and characterization he creates an accurate portrait of the many intense events surrounding such a tragic story. In comparison, in 1996 esteemed climber Rob Hall led an expedition of moderately experienced climbers attempting to climb Mt. Everest, only to result in disaster and the loss of nine people’s lives. Jon Krakauer was a member of that expedition, and wrote a piece about the misadventure for Outside magazine. Feeling there was more to be said, soon after he wrote a book. Krakauer takes ...

When Rosa was two years-old her parents split up and she, her mother, and her brother moved ... using many restaurants, movie theaters. Rosa Parks said, years later, "Whites would accuse you of causing trouble when all of you were doing was acting like a normal human being, instead of crining. You didn't have to wait for a lynching. You died each time you found yourself face to face with this kind of discrimination." Rosa Parks didn't like attending a poor, one-room school, with few books or supplies, not being able to stop on her way home from school to get a soda or a candybar. She hated how they ...
- 12199: A Gathering Of Old Men
- ... They became individuals by telling their story that also depicted the difference in worlds. When Johnny Paul tells his story of the palm-of-Christians he tells Mapes, the outer world, "No, Sheriff, you don't see. You do not even know what I don't see" (89). The black men have different experiences and histories that separate them from the outside world. This is constant though the stories. To the Cajuns, the graveyard is more land, but to the blacks it's their ancestors and identity. Without the graveyard, they will not be remembered. Each of the stories is a division between the two worlds. When Charlie returns to his world to confess the he killed ...
- 12200: Resurrection of Jesus
- ... four sources are The Reality of Jesus by D.Lane, The Eucharist, the Resurrection, and the Future by J. McKenna, What Are They Saying about Resurrection? by G.Collins, and Hope for the Flowers by T.Paulus. Although we can not fully understand the resurrection until it is our time, we cannot help but wonder. The mystery of resurrection can be traced to the historical life of Jesus. Through Jesus came ... Pauline Evidence". This particular section interested me because Paul makes a contrast between two types of bodies. One type is the physical body (soma psuchikon) of which we are in now. Soma is the man's body and personality which is a quality of the inner being. The second type is the spiritual body (soma pneumatikon) which is life after death. In this body, the flesh is said to be transformed ... lives is between our bodies and the environment. Many people have different views in life. Some feel that there should be a scientific explanation to resurrection, while others feel that we should just accept God's astonishing power and leave it as that. We must remember that resurrection is a mysterious object of faith and not a theme of science. In this article, O'Collins also mentions factors such as ...
