The Problem: Terrorism In The World
Number of Words: 1529 / Number of Pages: 6
... types of terrorism. In recent years, terrorism seems
to be at a new high and attacks are more violent than in the past.
With terrorism being so secretive and having no forewarning, it has been
a real problem to deal with. The governments of many countries have tried to
stop these cowardly acts, but they just seem to be on the rise. I have a few
ideas that might work
Solution:
Since there are no fool-proof ways to predict when a terrorist will
strike next, there can really be no complete answer to this problem. Even
though there is no way to totally eliminate terrorism, my solutions ma ...

The Geographic Power Of Countr
Number of Words: 789 / Number of Pages: 3
... eleven resources in total. This by itself may guarantee a country geographic power. However, human resources are often more important, as they are the products that result from the manufacturing of natural resources. Obviously, it is possible to obtain more money from manufactured resources than it is from raw materials in their natural state. China is more heavily weighted in the human resource column, as it has eight of its eleven possible resources in that area. There are also some resources that are more important than others. China has a great number of important resources such as steel ore, ...

Schools Should Prepare Children For Life In Society
Number of Words: 358 / Number of Pages: 2
... reason.
If a teacher in Germany tries to influence students in the way that they are
more creative that is generally seen as positive, but what almost makes this
impossible is the number of students in a class and the time frame of just 45
minutes, which is short if you are going to hear all the different opinions of
all the students.
If we accept that there do exist problems in society that need to get fixed, we
also have to see that it is not school's job to do this alone.
Schools just cannot make decisions for society, but they should work on
"producing" individual, critical and creative thinke ...

Number of Words: 808 / Number of Pages: 3
... revelation of His involvement int he history of the world. "When God acts in history, He leaves behind His ‘fingerprints'. By examining the biblical record we can discover those distinctive characteristics of God's imprint" ( Geiser 1988:24). Raising of the dead is an event that shows the power of God. The most compelling act recorded in the Bible is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This is the foundation of Christianity and our relation to God ( Romans 10:9-10). The Bible has several other instances in 1Kings 17:22, John 11:43-44, 2 Kings 4:33-34, and Matthew 27:52. These show ...

The Enlightenment And The Role Of The Philosophes
Number of Words: 905 / Number of Pages: 4
... the philosophes saw themselves as continuing the work of the
great 17th century pioneers--Francis Bacon, Galileo, Descartes, Leibnitz,
Isaac Newton, and John Locke--who had developed fruitful methods of
rational and empirical inquiry and had demonstrated the possibility of a
world remade by the application of knowledge for human benefit. The
philosophes believed that science could reveal nature as it truly is and
show how it could be controlled and manipulated. This belief provided an
incentive to extend scientific methods into every field of inquiry, thus
laying the groundwork for the development ...

We're Screwed
Number of Words: 1145 / Number of Pages: 5
... school were treated like they were in a military bootcamp. I thought that the school board was out of their mind when I saw my fellow students and some friends as victims in hell. Everything that was said must be done. Here's how it was, in the athletic department of the campus what ever the coaches said, went. Like bootcamp, coaches acted as if they were the drill sergeants. They yelled at anyone in sight. Although coaches did ask what their students thought about a particular subject, the athletes had no chance to speak. One time, Nathan White, a friend of mine and a star of the varsity baske ...

... by many. The only country, which called for boxing to be banned so far, is Iceland.
Another reason to support why boxing should be outlawed is the negative influence it has over the younger generation. According to an article from 'American Sociological Review', in a study attempting to discover whether mass media violence triggers additional aggressive behavior, it is proven that laboratory subjects exposed to violent material on film tend to behave more aggressively than those who are not exposed to such material. As children are very impressionable, they tend to emulate whatever they see on televi ...

Single Sex Education
Number of Words: 1092 / Number of Pages: 4
... Even worse, we might be right, and then they will think we are nerds! We also must confess that we tend to space out during lessons and daydream about the star quarterback two seats over. These distractions could be eliminated if boys are removed from the setting. Without them, we could focus on education rather than what they think of us.
Self-esteem is another issue that will improve with the absence of the male species in the classroom. In high school, there is an extreme amount of pressure to fit in. Some may not fit in, and some prey on others in order to fit in and increase their own sel ...
