... operations expensive, but also tantalizing and to some immoral. “We often get ahead of ourselves in technologically…And the ethics; we’re still wrestling with those kinds of questions” (Silverman).

Until the civil rights movement of the 60's, it seemed as if the Ku Klux Klan had achieved their goal.

... cultural backgrounds and probably ten different main sects of religion. But it’s unfortunate that people even today are judged by the of their skin and not the content of their character as Martin Luther King Jr. has said. Even though this is true I feel that it is equally bad that we as a nation group people together stereotyping one person in a group as all the people in a group. So in order to reach new heights as a nation we must come together to show that isn’t everything, and in fact isn’t anything at all.

Pro-Death Penalty
Number of Words: 997 / Number of Pages: 4
... the courts. Despite the fact that the number of inmates on death row is climbing, the number of death sentences actually carried out in any given year lags far behind. People simply aren’t fearful of the death penalty when it isn’t used the way it should be (Stewart 50).
If the death penalty has been declared legal, then the federal and state governments must employ it to its fullest as a means of stopping previous murderers from recommitting their crimes. Since most of the prisoners on death row are there for murder, executing them would ensure that they would never kill again. Obsessive murderers, ...

... freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the
American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom

time. He depicts how people of all backgrounds worked t ...

... who married her 71-year-old foster father"(Flint and Wharton). To those who do not tune into these shows this discription may sound like an exaggeration; however, it is not. This is exactly the type of topics on some shows. Not only are half the shows ridiculous with topics of deceit, revenge and "extreme behavior", but some of them are false(Flint and Wharton). On the Jerry Springer Show a Canadian comedy troupe went on the show and created a story. The story was that one of the men had an affair with his baby-sitter. After the show appeared on television, the troupe members went to the press sayin ...

... These other countries are either in severe poverty or their cities are becoming overcrowded. Although the U.S. is not in trouble at this time, when you look at the whole world you may see a different picture. Eventually the rest of the world will also have an effect on us. The impact we have on the environment has to do with three factors. The first is the number of people. The more people there are the more resources are used. If too many resources begin to be used they will run out before they get a chance to be replaced. Leaving all plant and animal life with nothing and everything will eventually ...
