Argument For Keeping Repeat Offenders In Jail
Number of Words: 566 / Number of Pages: 3
... But how much more can we cut these
sentences, aren't they short enough already? The average jail sentence is
seven years and eleven months, but the actual average time served is two
years and eleven months. I think there are better ways to save money. For
example, we should cut back on the funding of foreign governments. We have

money we would save would not affect us directly either. The money the
government would save would not reduce our taxes or an ...

... cannot be simply thrown away anymore, now it must be managed.

face the facts, sealed toxins "won't affect us for a good twenty years".
Although this may be true, there are still many advantages to waste
management.

... own opinion on what they feel is right and wrong.
Many will say that the use of animals for testing is both inhumane and should not be allowed as an effective way to test products such as cosmetics and laundry detergents for our homes. There are many reasons as to why the animal rights activists feel this way. For example, it is a proven fact that the animal testing that is done is very expensive, and a majority of the time they do not correlate the connection between the animals and human health. People like this believe that it is our duty to look out for god's creatures, not destroy them ...

... who can trigger an emotional response from one of the above-mentioned attributes, encouraging the consumer to buy the product. Since effectiveness is gender linked, demographics play an essential role in determining which sex will buy the product. In the average home, women are the purchasers of household products, such as food and drinks, or soaps and shampoos, therefore advertisements for these products target women.

... look, sound, walk, and so on. Clothes play a very important role in
fitting in with the crowd. People say that a first impression is the most
important one so people try to make the best first impression by dressing up or
showing someone there not. Some people try to stay in fashion, they do this to
stand out or be noticed. A huge role in fitting in is changing or, in other

Lastly, being liked by ...
