- ... athletes are not to receive any windfall from any merchandise sold- even if they are tho only reason people buy it. In other words, even if the merchandise is purchased solely because of an athlete's popularity, that athlete receives no money.

Scholarship athletes' incomes are limited to their room and board check, per diem money on road trips, and whatever money their families can spare. If the school is turning a profit off an athlete, shouldn't the athlete receive their own fair share? Con Student athletes should be treated the same as the other university students. They already have many added perks that put them ahead of other pupils. In the ... specific notes and study guides. Also, lucrative summer jobs are seemingly always lined up for them. For example, Dugan Fife, former captain of the University of Michigan basketball team, was employed by the Detroit Lion's front office one summer. Also, if the student athletes feel cheated because their university is turning a profit from their name and likeness, they are obviously good players who will go on to play ...

- 19964: Objectivism and the Work of Ayn Rand
- ... survive. This, to her, implies that it is RIGHT for man to think. The good is that which is useful to and promotes life. The life in question is ones own life. However, one doesn't have the responsibility for the lives of others, except in a negative sense.. not to interfere with the rights of others to pursue their own life. Ayn Rand wrote a great deal of non-fiction ... Branden (former Nathan Blumenthal.. BRANDEN is actually an anagram for BEN RAND, or "son of Rand"). Others in the "collective" included ALAN GREENSPAN (currently Chairman of the Federal Reserve), LEONARD PEIKOFF (eventually became Ayn Rand's heir and the official spokesman of Objectivism), MURRAY ROTHBARD (passed away last year.. radical economist, historian, and philosopher), and others too numerous to list. Many credit the work of Ayn Rand as spawning the modern libertarian movement.

Much later, Frankie and her father move in to a house with her aunt, and uncle, because of her cousin’s death; and her cook quits. Frankie finds a sophisticated friend, in which she can relate to. The relevance of this theme is that change is a necessary part of life, and can’t be stopped from happening. Frankie couldn’t deal with change, so her way from escaping from it was trying to leave home. In the end we all have to deal with change, and accept ...
- 19966: The Importance of Literature vs. Science
- ... the situations of daily life. It is in this fundamental way that literature and science are different. Literature offers you insight which you apply to life, in science, you apply life to your theories. It's just a matter of whether life is the cookie cutter or the dough. Imagine a world without literature. All your Literature courses in school are replaced with social sciences: philosophy, psychology, etc. Would people be ... back up every little thing with two thousand pieces of measurable accurate evidence. It can think in leaps and bounds with very little touch with hard facts. Science can describe an incident, but it can't make you feel anything about it. Literature on the other hand, gives you insight and feelings into other peoples minds. For example, it is much more beneficial to read a book about Egypt, than to ... scientific report would not have. A world without literature would also leave science wanting. Many scientists would agree that without literature, science would not be the same. It would be colder, and less human. Human's are not creatures of precision and logic, or we would have rulers for hands, and calculators for hearts. Most people would prefer to sit down and pick up a science fiction novel than a ...
- 19967: Theme-Basketball (no Works Cit
- ... do my best at everything I do. The most important way that basketball helped me mentally, is that it cleared my head and made me focus on nothing but the game at hand. It didn’t matter whether it was a game or scrimmage or a little bit of one on one, my mind was so focused on the game that I couldn’t hear everyday sounds, the crowd, or my opponent(s) talking trash. Everything that happened during the day, week, month, or year all went away once I stepped onto the court. This let me take out all my frustration on the opposing force. This ...
- 19968: Red Badge Of Courage 5
- ... his mother would not like to see him go to war, but it was his decision to make. He dreamed of the exiting battles of war and the thrill of fighting glorious battles. He didn't want to stay on the farm with nothing to do, so he made the final decision, to enlist. After enlisting he finds himself just sitting around with nothing to do. He manages to make friends ... Henry started rationalizing his behavior after running from the enemy. At first he feels he was a stupid coward for running, then he feels he was just saving himself for later. He felt nature didn't want him to die, even though his side was losing. He believes he was intelligent for running and hopes he will die in battle just for spite. The same time Henry met Jim, he also met a tattered man. In the next charge, Henry and the tattered man see Jim die a slow and painful death. After Jim's death, and a little talking, Henry, though not realizing it, leaves the tattered man alone on the battlefield, hurting inside, and dangerous to himself.

- 19969: Analysis Of Racism In Huck Fin
- ... very human reaction and the fact Jim says, "Oh Huck, I bust out crying....'Oh the po' little thing!" (Twain 151), only further proves to Huck that Jim is as caring as he is. Huck's realization allows him to see that Jim is no longer the ordinary slave. The point where Huck completely changes his attitudes towards blacks comes when he is faced with the dilemma of turning Jim in ... to notice that not everything Miss Watson told him was true. With this, Huck not only sees Jim in a new light, but he begins to see that the people who supposedly know everything, didn't really know anything. I believe that the whole book is a masterpiece of irony. With this second main lesson, the book defends itself against being banned.

- 19970: Free Will Vs. Fate In The Open
- ... he must act. This could be considered fate, what he was intended to do. It is preposterous. If this old women, Fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived the management of men s fortunes. This statement makes it seem that the men were not out there under their free will. Possibly though, the sinking of the boat wasn t their choice and getting on it was. No mind unused to the sea would have concluded that the dinghy could ascend these sheer heights in time. (pg.132) It was obvious that they would never ... turn around and most likely save their lives for the meantime. Was this just buying them some time? Were they going to die anyway? This could be what they were supposed to do. They weren t destined to all die out on the sea. How can you tell if it was their choice or if it was fate that turned them back out to the open water. The leitmotif, If ...
