- 3381: The Problems of Drinking and Driving
- ... this situation. Unfortunately, in many cases their struggle has not been effective enough. While 80% of drivers have heard of blood alcohol level from an informative paper or commercial, only 20% know what their state's limit is. (www.madd.org) Essentially, this means that the message is not sinking into the minds of people. It is a common problem for a media campaign not to be effectual, but one as important as this shouldn't have become so cliché.

- 3382: Hammurabi's Laws
- Hammurabi's Laws In effort to build a strong and unified empire, Hammurabi constructed a set of 300 laws to govern the everyday lives of his people.

The first law deals with false accusations. If you accuse someone of casting a death spell on you, you'll be put to death. You needed to be sure of what you were accusing a person of back then. Though we don't have anything that deals with magic spells nowadays, people can sue each other for false accusations. They were pretty strict about accusing someone of spells. The next law is about lying in court. If ...
- 3383: Serial Killers in the U.S
- Serial Killers in the U.S Before we can discuss what serial killers do, we must first define what a serial killer is. Some people might place serial killers into the same group as mass murderers. This would be incorrect because ... an end to any future events of this type for that individual. While the mass killer may kill many people in one attack, when the attack is over, their mission is complete. The mass killer's victims may not be chosen for any other reason than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Serial killers are a totally different and more dangerous threat to society. They may not kill ... pick victims based on specifics such as physical build or hairstyle. Because of the fact that many serial killers may be mobile, similarities in crime scenes may go undetected by law enforcement agencies. The nation's police departments often lack the modern equipment and technology needed to track and recognize connections between cases. It is generally accepted that many cases of serial murder have not been reported because of lack ...
- 3384: Marijuana: The Legalization
- ... that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief. (B) To ensure that patients ... breaks into fine detail into which I choose not to venture. To summarize it all, if you're sick, or think you are, your doc can get you some pot. Just like that. So what's so great about this? It supposedly brings relief to those with terminal illnesses. (Such were listed in 215) Cancer sufferers who are inflicted with nausea due to chemotherapy have reported that a puff or two ... because of the enormous side effects and addiction that results after using the drug. My first fact to back my opinion would have to be this, marijuana is what it is, a drug! You can't change that no matter how many people vote on it. Sure, there are prescription drugs on the market that are potentially dangerous but their effects are nothing compared to that of marijuana. Such a ...

After all, John was in the National Honor Society and was listed in Who's Who Among American High School Students. "When it happened, I was across the street at my neighbor's," Sandra says. I heard the siren's very clearly but didn't think anything of it until my husband ran to the door screaming my name. We went to the accident scene. John was still in the car. They had covered ...
- 3386: How to grow Marijuana
- ... A series of large border busts, a short growing season, a bad crop, any number of things can drive the price of marijuana up. Demand still seems to be on the increase in the U.S., so prices seldom fall below last year's level. Each year a small seasonal drought occurs, as last year's supply runs low, and next year's crop is not up yet. Prices usually rase about 20 - 75 per cent during this time and then fall back to "normal." Unquestionably, a large shortage of ...
- 3387: Taoism
- ... the Tao came before all of the world and heaven that we know of. And the Tao is like the feelings of love we sometimes feel. The love can get so strong but others don’t realize it. There is nothing big enough you could do to express it and you could never say enough and feel you have fully explained the total value of it. But that’s just my personal thoughts on my analysis of what the Chuang Tzu is saying. The Chuang Tzu teaches a lot about Taoism. I thought this was very interesting the Chuang Tzu says, “In the universe ... to him than the successor of day and night. They are powerless to disturb his tranquility.” (Creel1970 pg.51) Mystic intuition is how you know the Tao exists. “The Tao is unknowable, and in it’s essence, and the most enlightening sage is ignorant”(Creel1970 pg2). The Taoist philosophy says that all things are relative, right and wrong aren’t justifiable, and everyone has his own true and false. Taoists ...

The dispair of the Native Americans is first shown in The Magic Pony when Jasmine, the voice of the story, describes her Aunt Faye s eyes. Her eyes looked dark and motionless, like she was seeing something she didn t want to see and couldn t look away from (p.4) Faye, like many inhabitants of the novel, seems helplessly focused on the sordid history of her family and the poison that seems to infect their very souls. She is ...
- 3389: Ethics/Child Labor
- ... people have to this. They say, „oh, its good for the kid to have a job and to earn a little spending money, or that, „it builds character.” However they view it, they definitely don’t see it as child labor. 2 In America this act would fall under the idea of child work, not child labor, and would still be considered O.K. by our standards. Child work is defined ... their child is in need of help. Sometimes the parents feel that their child is better off with a company, so they sell them. Other times, the children may be kidnapped and the parents don’t even know where they are. Governments are also unwilling, or unable to stop child labor because it often can be a large part of the countries economy, especially in third world countries. So the countries ... Until there is global agreement between countries of what child labor is, there is little you can do legally. Ethically, it is also hard to debate, or say that something is wrong, if you don’t hold the same standards. 3 My perspective on child labor is that its wrong by my standards. But if I was setting up a manufacturing plant in Bangladesh, deep down I think the management ...
- 3390: The Awakening Symbolism
- ... Awakening, by Kate Chopin, there is much more evidence of symbolism as well as deeper meaning than in the movie version of the book, Grand Isle.

Edna Pontellier, the main character of the novel, struggles all summer at Grand Isle to learn to swim. She ... to face with death. Those are the events described by the book. The movie, on the other hand, only shows Edna swimming out, struggling a little, and returning to shore. In addition, the movie doesn t mention the strength and joy Edna feels after this experience. She states that she "never was so exhausted in [her] life. But it isn t unpleasant it is like a night in a dream." (Chopin, 31) At the end of this story, Edna kills herself by swimming out into the ocean. The movie shows just that, omitting two very ...
