- 22971: Literary Comparison Of A Clock
- ... from which they feel alienated, and therefore decide to rebel against. The futuristic setting of A Clockwork Orange is one of a constructive, depersonalized society where the government has far too much control over people s lives. They are forced to live in strictly regimented communities, and their daily life is dreary. Alex s England is a socialized nightmare. (De Vitis, 106) It is because of this meaningless life that Alex chooses to rebel against his society, committing so many brutal acts of violence that he soon becomes desensitized ... one that tries to eliminate all individuality. This causes him to act out in violence against authority as a means of expressing himself and retaining his personal freedom. Similarly, the historical setting of Arthur Miller s The Crucible is one of a lifeless and highly conservative community in the small town of Salem, Massachusetts, in the late seventeenth century.

- 22972: International Charter Of Human
- ... not a law, unfortunately, and in some cases has had little actual effect on the member countries of the UN. Governments with poor human rights records, such as China, do not agree with the UN’s attempts to promote human rights, saying that such actions interfere with their internal affairs.

- 22973: Difference Betwen Iago and Othello
- ... Act V, sc.ii, lines179-184) Although Iago was solely responsible for the tragedy, he could not have succeeded if it was not for the gullible characters as targets for him to hit. In Richard’s case, he did not use his sources wisely. Richard underestimated the powers of women in the play, which consequently lead him to his downfall. He had the choice of killing Queen Elizabeth and Queen Margaret ... he thought that no harm could do on to him. They then were able to team up with Edmund and his military group to destroy Richard at last. With a little wiser and wit, Iago’s scheme was proven more successful. Iago did not let anything passed him by without using his skills of manipulation. “ O brave Iago, honest and just, that such noble sense of thy friend’s wrong! Thou teachest me” (Act V, sc.ii, lines 32-33) this was one of Othello’s last words. The tragedy proved Iago’s brilliant and victorious villainy. Shakespeare manifests his ability to clearly ...
- 22974: Ethics - International
- In 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates from the U.S. Market. By FDA criteria cyclamates presented an unacceptable level of risk to the public.

Singer s argument for preventing something bad from happening is based on three premises. The first premise is if we can prevent something bad without sacrificing anything of comparable significance, we ought to do it. The second ... we ought to prevent introduction of cyclamates abroad. With the knowledge they had about cyclamates, Libby, McNeil, and Libby should not have introduced cyclamates into the foreign markets.

- ... to rationalize the atrocities he felt necessary and justified. This was a repressive environment, unbending and too rigid for the French People. Innocent people could be accused of being “outside the sovereign” and executed.

- 22976: The Tyger By William Blake
- ... his picture with his words in “Tyger,” one comes to different conclusions regarding the actual meaning. In contrast to the images of the innocence of the Lamb (from The Lamb of Songs of Innocence), Blake’s Tyger seems to be quite “devilish.” The beast is a representation of the angry God, as it is a combination of mystery, terror, and of wrath. The contrast of the Lamb and the Tyger also resembles the idea of when a beautiful thing like love can turn into an ugly thing like hate. The Tyger is obviously a representation of evil and of darkness. In Blake’s words, it is also apparent that the Tyger is somewhat of a puzzle, or an enigma, if you will. It is a mysterious beast with unknown origins. It seems that the Tyger is a result ... a rather inhuman being. His heart was created by use of the hammer. His brain and body both resemble fire. Blake prompts the reader to believe that the Tyger is true evil. Furthermore, the Tyger’s creation was brought about in a rather chaotic manner: “When the stars threw down their spears/ And water’d heaven with their tears...” (lines 17-18) This depiction reflects the very mood of the ...
- 22977: Mistakes People Make With Steroids
- ... exercise than a natural athlete, so they can return to the gym sooner for another workout. So that means less work equals more muscle gain, compared to working out normally with no supplement.

- 22978: Harrods Department Store
- ... in every travel book about London and so extraordinary that items from here were "sent over" (for a Queen would never actually go shopping) for the Royal Family to purchase. The span of the store's influence on London was so far reaching that there was even a bridge over the River Thames painted in the traditional "Harrods colors" of gold and green. Of course, I had never actually been there ... fabulous department store as far as clothing was concerned, it was the best department store for…well, pets (yes actual dogs, cats and birds), espresso machines, movies, books, wedding gowns, and even to arrange one's funeral. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, I am certain you will not find it anywhere, and so is Harrods which is why their motto is Omnia Omnibus Ubique or "everything ... few floors and looking at a few other rooms filled with sweaters each organized by color and type of wool. As we were leaving, I could not help but look back and wonder why Harrod's attracted so many different types of people.

- 22979: Frankenstein: Morality
- ... by people, honored by people and revered since the beginning of time. Yet even today not one person can say what is morally right. It is a matter of opinion. It was Dr.Victor Frankenstein's opinion that it was alright to create a "monster". Frankenstein's creation needed a companion.

With the knowledge at hand, to Dr.Frankenstein, it is not at all morally correct to bring another ... bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man,"(pg 142) promises the morally corrupt monster to the doctor upon the completion of his partner.

It involved the recovery by the U.S. Military of material alleged to be of extraterrestrial origin. The event was announced by the Army Air Force on July 8, 1947 through a press release carried by newspapers throughout the country. It was subsequently ... stonewalled by the Defense Department when requesting information on the 1947 Roswell event on behalf of constituents and witnesses. Indicating that he was seeking further investigation into the matter, Congressman Schiff called the Defense Department's lack of response "astounding" and concluded it was apparently "another government cover- up." History has shown that unsubstantiated official assurances or denials by government are often meaningless. Nevertheless, there is a logical and straightforward way ... world should have an inalienable right. Its release would unquestionably be universally acknowledged as an historic act of honesty and goodwill. I support the request, as outlined above, for an Executive Order declassifying any U.S. Government information regarding the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial intelligence. Whether such information exists or whether it does not, I feel that the people of the world have a right to know the truth ...
