- 19871: Cloning
- ... for Cloning. In this article J. Madeleine Nash addresses the controversial technique of cloning. Nash is clearly in favor of cloning individual cells for medical purposes. However, he also understands the concern with cloning. Nash's main idea, which is cloning individual human cells for the purpose of eliminating life-threatening diseases is necessary but cloning entire humans or using cloning to improve non-medical entities in humans is unnecessary, is very well is well supported in this article. He focuses on the benefits that cloning could have for the future of mankind, but still recognizes peoples concerns. One aspect of cloning that Nash doesn't necessarily address is the ethical issue. In his first paragraph, Nash writes of a world where humans can be cured of diseases that are currently life threatening. Where cells can be "cultivated in lab dishes ... that the rich and famous might take advantage of the opportunity to generate copies of themselves. Nash points out that even though the possibility is there, the people who could grow full human clones "aren't going to be doing it." Nash recognizes that by cloning individual cells for the purpose of eliminating life-threatening diseases many people could be benefited. Doctors could obtain healthy cells from a part of ...
- 19872: In The Heat Of The Night
- ... he was a cop. I think that Virgil earned a little respect from Gillespie their by showing him that he was calm and mature. As the story unfolded Gillespie saw more and more of Virgil s good qualities. Gillespie saw that Virgil was calm, educated, smart, payed attention to detail, and was qualified for his job. Every time that Gillespie would arrest some one Virgil proved them innocent, when Oberst was arrested Virgil proved Gillespie wrong by proving to him that Oberst was not the murderer. When Gillespie arrested Sam Wood Virgil also proved him innocent. Even though Gillespie didn t like to be proven wrong by anyone (none less a Negro) he respected Virgil for his great detective work. At one point in the novel Gillespie and Tibbs shake hands and I think that was the high point of this mutual respect. Virgil didn t respect Gillespie that much in the beginning and most of the middle of this story but in the end Virgil respected Gillespie. I think it was good that Virgil did not respect Gillespie because ...
- 19873: Limiting Death Row Appeals
- ... taxpayers' money. While in prison, inmates have many privileges, including cable television, the chance to pursue a college degree, and free health care, all at taxpayers' expense. There are many law-abiding citizens who don't get these benefits. It is appalling to think these people have a virtual life of leisure while in prison. There are some death penalty opponents who believe that convicts don't get enough privileges and lobby for better living conditions and the rights of the convicted felons. Lost in this passionate pursuit of human rights are the rights of the dead victim and those of that victim's family. The appeal process is lengthy and time-consuming. The appeal process is almost automatic for individuals sentenced to death. Many appeals are filed by the convicts in hopes of overturning their conviction or ...

- 19875: Nature vs. Nurture
- ... meet a man who liked nontraditional women described themselves as relatively nontraditional. Those led to think he favored traditional gender roles described themselves as more traditionally feminine (Handout - Diversity and Community). I believe that one's immediate family, rather than society, has a greater influence on gender roles. For example, girls who group up without a mother or older sisters tend to be less feminine because all they have are male ... gender roles is whether or not the mother works. A housewife who believes that the home is where she belongs tends to influence her daughter in thinking the same way. One of my close friend's mother is a housewife and my friend wishes to be one herself. Parents are one of the biggest factors in determining gender roles for children. They teach their children what they consider the proper behavior ... there are not any sensitive men or aggressive women. These stereotypes generalize men and women which influence their way of thinking. If a man feels that it he is supposed to act aggressively and shouldn't be sensitive he is more inclined to do so. Similarly, if a women feels that it is her place to be sensitive and feminine she will act accordingly. Society is so set in these ...
- 19876: Gangs
- ... lives on the line for people that are not even their blood relatives? As I read the material that I found in the library about gangs, I found out a lot about how this children's' though process works. They believe that the gang members are their family; to them it is not seen as the sinister organization of careless violence as it is to us "normal" Americans. To them the gang is their family. Children are joining gangs at younger ages; our current juvenile justice system is no longer adequate for today's hardened young gang members. According to recent studies in demographics the problem is not going away. This problem if ignored is going to lead to the decay of our society. In many of the articles ... the violence that they see at home. Also the industry can be partially blamed for the increase in children joining gangs. Not to say that just because a child likes "gangster" rap and watches violent T.V. shows and movies, that they are going to join a gang. But if you add the violence in the home, abuse, neglect and the media then you have a recipe for a child ...
- 19877: Downfall of Democracy in Lord of the Flies
- ... in Lord of the Flies. From the very start Jack has a problem with Ralph being chief. Jack knows there is no one to stop him from doing whatever he wants. When Jack stole Piggy's spec he knew no one could stop him. When Ralph confronted him saying "You've got to give them back"(176). Jack responds by saying "Got to? Who says?"(176). Jack knew Ralph had no ... specs back. So the combination of rebellious attitudes and the lack of power to control them, led to the downfall of the boys democratic society. One point to consider is that of Ralph and Piggy's lack of courage and the role it played not only in letting Jack run free but also the rest of the hunters. One could argue that because neither of the boys would stand up to ... In a democratic society you must also consider the will of the people. In this case the majority of the boys wanted to hunt, play, and have fun instead of being responsible. Although it wasn't a wise choice, it was the choice they made and as a result led them to savagery. The division in the beginning also caused a problem because eventually everyone had to choose.

- ... information appears on the screen. The first intention of the Web, as it is referred to, was not to create a sea of web servers and surfers.

- 19879: Digging By Seamus Heaney
- ... seems a simple act of 'digging potatoes' Heaney also shows appreciation of accuracy and the skill needed in order to be a farmer. He uses delicate language to describe an act of digging which can't really be described as 'delicate.' This shows to be a powerful contrast. Heaney uses "Nicking and slicing, neatly." These indeed is a delicate description of 'digging.' As mentioned earlier we can see that through the ... could handle a spade" In the sixth stanza of this poem he recalls a memory of how hardworking his grandfather was: "My grandfather cut more turf in a day than any other man on Toner's bog" This does show the immense pride he felt towards his father and grandfather.

The use of simple, yet ...
- 19880: The Effects of Advertising on Society
- ... goods. Though these products are by no means needs, the associations make people believe that the advertised product embodies the good they need, and to achieve that good they must buy the product. Companies don't advertise perfumes, for example; they advertise relationships. They don't advertise clothing; they advertise independence. Slowly, as people hear these messages more and more, they start associating more importance to the product than to the good involved, like a sort of idol-worship -- and here is where the real problems set in. Now that advertisers have people sold on the product, they can influence people's desires. This is what Fr. Kavanaugh saw when he said that advertising is damaging society's moral values. Calvin Klein, for example, has already become one of those companies whose product has become more ...
