- 19943: Social and Personal Ethics: The Subject of Abortion
- Social and Personal Ethics: The Subject of Abortion Its a child not a choice, a famous bumper sticker that voices the opinion of people who oppose abortion. In the book Social and Personal Ethics, John T. Noonan Jr., a law professor at University of California Berkeley, and Mary Anne Warren, a philosophy professor at San Francisco State University argue their views on the subject of abortion. The main question that these two professors argue over is how to determine the humanity of a being? First, the views of John T.

- 19944: The Holocaust
- ... only survived, we have revived ourselves. In a very real way, we have won. We were victorious. But in a very real way, we have lost. We'll never recover what was lost. We can't assess what was lost. Who knows what beauty and grandeur six million could have contributed to the world? Who can measure it up? What standard do you use? How do you count it? How do you estimate it...? We lost. The world lost, whether they know it or admit it. It doesn't make any difference. And yet we won, we're going on." This quote is from the testimony of Fania Fenelon. The signs and symptoms that are among the Jews because of the Holocaust definitely characterize ... children because of what they had experienced. Not having children would have been a sign of defeat. Once born, the children were almost certain to be special. Not only would it be evidence of one's own survival but also the survival of the Jewish people. A child represented the ultimate defeat of Nazism, a life created against overwhelming odds, and for some, a precious gift of God. The experiences ...

But with a few technical breakthroughs, you might imagine, you'd be able to teleport over to a friend's house for dinner simply by stepping into a scanner that would record all the information about the atoms making you up, With all the data collected, the machine would then vaporize your body and relay the information to your friend's teleporter, which would rebuild you using basic molecular elements. Some people don't try to think of a scientific answer to it, they just know that they can move something from point A to point B. There are many kinds of teleportation, one kind is transferring a ...

- 19947: William Shakespeare and His Life
- ... marked the medieval period. People were going to the cities, some were doing well with trade, and others were getting rich. The middle class was expanding, in their expectations for entertainment, and if this hadn't happened, Shakespeare wouldnt have succeeded. He was born in the working class, and worked his way up through his artistic and financial success in the realm of the public theater. They say William Shakespeare was the Renaissance Man, one foot in the past, one foot in the future, both hands on the present. In my opinion, I think that William Shakespeare was a very good influence on life back in the 1560s and now in the 1990s. He taught so many people about a different language and the idea of a new theater. He changed the tradition of things and has written such wonderful plays ...

But that wasn't all. He was already planning to run against Robert La Follette (a senator who's seat was up for re-election in just two years). La Follette would be a difficult one to beat because he was a pretty well known man. But Joe fought hard and spent a lot ... the first of a series of claims that he had the names of 205 "known communists" who were employed by the State Department. This fueled one of the many controversies, over McCarthy, because there wasn't one reliable copy of the speech. The dispute was over how many names McCarthy said he actually had. He later claimed that he had only said 57. Although, now there is substantial proof that ...
- 19949: The Sacred Divine
- ... sacred is something more powerful than anything on earth. Not necessarily in a physical sense but more in a spiritual. I feel that the youth of today, more than any other time in the world's history, needs to know something about what their parents and ancestors have found in religion. As we look at today's youth we see a decline in good Christian values or in a better sense the falling away from the good life Jesus has taught us. I remember when was a little boy my father always made me attend every funeral that happened to family or friends, even if I didn't know them. I remember always asking my father if the deceased went to heaven or hell? My father would always tell me if the deceased was a member of the church, followed the ten ...
