People are in control of their own lives, and it is not God’s job to decide it for us. God created the universe for us to live in. We live though him each day, make our own choices and live with the outcome that we determined. He answers this way because if you do not put choices and consequences on people’s actions, then there is not hope. If people are not responsible for their actions and there are no consequences to follow, then people will continue patterns of bad behavior. This implies that things just ...
- 26724: Manifest Destiny
- ... never directly states that the federal government has the right to acquire land. Those that view the constitution liberally, or loose constructionists, counter that stand by claiming the right of expansion falls under the government’s implied powers.

One of the supporters of Manifest Destiny was, democrat, James Polk who ... expansion. James Polk had been elected when the wars were on the verge of breaking out. The potential war with Britain was resolved early in Polk presidency. He obviously wanted nothing to do with Britain’s powerful navy, for he agreed to a compromise that gave the United States far less of Oregon than the public wanted.

- 26725: Commercial Radio as Communication
- ... are interdependent and constitute the perennial interplay between broadcaster and listener. Communication based on broadcasting and listening is a social action because it is oriented towards others. The broadcasters are intent on getting their audience's attention. They achieve their goal through the music that they play, what they say and how well they are able to say it. More so, they compete with other broadcasters by constantly trying to outdo ... of the next three reasons. One, although the audience size is captivated by their "likeness", definition of self is not solely achieved through comparison. It is not only understood by being able to distinguish one's similarities and differences from others. Definition of self is also obtained through the feedback and attention given by others. These two factors cannot be achieved through commercial radio since they do not delve into personal ... messages or others of the sort being sent on air. Commercial radio however, is able to furnish one with a means to maintain a sense of self. This is because in order to maintain one's sense of self, one only has to compare himself or herself with others.

- 26726: For Whom The Bell Tolls
- ... 30 time period is the setting for the book, on the battlefields in the Spanish countryside. The whole fascist/communist aspect is brought up since both sides are against one another. Here again, Hemingway doesn’t idealize either side, not referring to their political beliefs but to the fact that each side is very much the same. Both sides consist of sad, depressed fools who have been shipped off to war, content to live in peace and harmony with each other.

Another thing that is connected to the war ...

- ... Mr. Wiggins that he wanted a gallon of ice cream, and that he never had enough ice cream in his whole life.

"I saw a slight smile come to his face, and it was not a bitter smile. Not bitter at all"; this is the first instance in ... At that point he became a man, not a hog. As far as the story tells, he never showed any sort of emotion before the shooting or after up until that point. A hog can't show emotions, but a man can. There is the epiphany of the story, where Mr. Wiggins realizes that the purpose of life is to help make the world a better place, and at that time ... different. In fact, there probably would have not even been a book because in the modern day, and honest and just jury would have found him innocent due to the lack of evidence.
