- 24491: A Night to Remember
- ... Now, we know that no matter how good we build something, how great it seems, it is not indestructible. Things will always come along that we cannot control no matter how advanced we are. Titanic's sinking also taught people to be careful and take every precaution necessary to save passengers lives when they are on any kind of transportation no matter how pointless it seems because we never know what will happen. If the amount of boats needed were on Titanic when it began to sink, many people's lives would have been saved. Society now understands that even though the lifeboats made the decks look worse, glamour is not always the most important thing when people's lives are in danger. Another thing the Titanic's sinking taught people was that, in the end, whether you are first class or third class, we are all the same. No one person is ...
- 24492: I And Ii Thessalonians
- ... by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different than Paul s usual means or writing. This letter is written in a very formal way as if to people that the author may not know very well (Freed 320). Paul would have known these people since he ... first letter. (320) The major basis of the argument that Paul did not write II Thessalonians deals with the situation of eschatology. Eschatology is dealt with in opposite ways in the two letters. In Paul s agreed work of I Thessalonians, he says that, the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night (5:2 NRSV). This is Paul s way of urging his fellow followers ...
- 24493: The Argument Against Female Circumcision
- ... ever say anything on the matter, even if they object. Speaking of issues regarding women and sex in these countries is a taboo. One woman, Nawal El Saadawi, a medical doctor who later became Egypt's Director of Public Health was brave enough to come forward. The fact that she did ultimately lead to dismissal from her position and actual imprisonment. Her writings are forbidden from many of the Arab countries ... external organs led to retention of urine. Everytime I wanted to urinate the burning sensation was so bad I could not bring myself to pass water…" (171) There has also been much in El Saadawi's work to prove that there is much psychological damage done, especially in the area of sexual shock. This sexual shock lead to great fridgety making it almost impossible for a woman to ever enjoy sex ... unimportant to reproduction and therefore unimportant to women. "The clitoris however, is an organ neglected by medicine, just as it is ignored and disdained by society." (El Saadawi 171) It seems according to El Saadawi's research that educated families are beginning to understand the dangers of this operation. A study she did showed that 97.5% of uneducated families have their daughters circumcised while only 66.2% of educated ...
- 24494: Bulimia
- ... a growing disease which unfortunately takes the lives of many people every year. Supposedly, people began to recognize bulimic behavior in the late 19th century, although it was never really taken seriously until the 1940’s, when it was considered as a symptom of anorexia (Epstein 40). For many years bulimia was associated with anorexia as if it was a joint disease. Finally, in 1979, doctor G.F.M. Russell was ... why the social outlook on that person has such a great influence. Fashion pressures to be thin as well as the social fixation on the idea of thinness as beauty also contribute to a bulimic’s obsession with being perfect (Matthews 45). Just as society has an impact on a bulimic, self-perception also has a great influence over someone that has an eating disorder. After saying that it is quite ... man out there who might actually turn to bulimia as a way past a weight problem even though, the males addiction to this eating disorder is still present and just as apparent as the women’s problem with this disease. Actually, both men and women can suffer many short term effects as well. Unlike an anorexic, a bulimic tends to be either normal weight or actually a bit overweight. Supposedly, ...

- 24496: Aspartame and Olestra: Will We Buy the Bull?
- ... advantage of containing zero fat. Obese people, for their part, may finally be able to take control of their bodies. Some types of obesity are caused by a defect in genes that disrupt the body's "I've had enough to eat" signal. Affected people often experience difficulties determining how much is enough for them, so they have to limit their daily caloric intake and most of the times, ban "useless ... these products on humans in the long run. Several sugar substitutes, such as saccharin and aspartame, have caused cancer and seizures on mice in laboratories. Many people have related substitutes to low blood sugar, Alzheimer's, Chronic Fatigue, methanol poisoning and so on. In 1971, John Olney, a research psychiatrist at Washington University found out that aspartic acid, present in aspartame, cause holes in mice's brains. We also think that Olestra causes stomach cramping and diarrhea on some people. The second thing about food substitutes is that they do not give a lot of bang for the buck. We ...

The job came to her unexpectedly and it was an opportunity to work in her youngest daughter's high school. She jumped at the chance and feels satisfied and enriched by the experience.

Because her father has Alzheimer's disease and stroke dementia, she is responsible for the entire coordination of his treatment. This causes her considerable stress as it conjures up old emotional tensions.

- 24498: The Jungle 4
- American history has always been dominated by those individuals who have challenged themselves with causes. Sinclair used The Jungle as a way to make America aware of the corruption of Chicago s meat packing industry and the general corruption of capitalism. He did this by telling the story of a group of Lithuanian immigrants who came to America seeking fortune, freedom, and opportunity. These hopes for the new world perished in jungle of human suffering. Sinclair s answer to the horrible conditions in packinghouses, wage slavery, and anguish of laborers was socialist reform. The immigrants in The Jungle were victims of the greed that turned the America into a brutal jungle at ... of the century. Sinclair wrote All the fair and noble impulses of humanity, the dreams of poets and the agonies of martyrs, are shackled and bound in the service of organized and predatory Greed. Sinclair s solution was to substitute cooperation for competition by reorganizing the economy along Socialist lines. If ownership of industries was given to the public, and run democratically for everyone s benefit the atrocities that occurred ...

- 24500: Interpretations Of Socratess D
- ... is indeterminate in a peculiar way. The statement has an obvious meaning that is false and a hidden or concealed meaning which is true. It often requires an interpretation, which is done by the shrine's priest. When Socrates states the oracular respond of god, he does not give an adequate interpretation of the statement. This has lead to the inconsistency in his claims on wisdom. By suggesting different interpretations of ... things that blind people from seeing what really matters. The thing that matters here is wisdom. As mentioned earlier, he believes that one should strive to be wise rather than being a fool. A fool s eagerness to amass wealth, reputation and honors will inadvertently cause him or her to forgone the notion of wisdom. People often assert that they do have the knowledge, and that the knowledge they think they ... believes that wisdom does not come with wealth, reputation and honors.
