Taoism
Number of Words: 2018 / Number of Pages: 8
... religions of the world. Hopefully this will be an enlightenment
on the reincarnation concepts as they apply to Taoism and Buddhism.
The goal in Taoism is to achieve tao, to find the way. Tao is the
ultimate reality, a presence that existed before the universe was formed
and which continues to guide the world and everything in it. Tao is
sometimes identified as the Mother, or the source of all things. That

not monotheistic. The focus is not to worship one god, but instead on
coming into harmony with tao. Tao is the esse ...

Love One Another
Number of Words: 362 / Number of Pages: 2
... Be critical, be open, ask questions, and get to know how peers.
Okay, but what if I am a shy person? There is wrong being shy. Everybody is
shy of something, but shyness can always be reverse. I used to be shy of
something, but then I gave it some thought when I was thinking when life was
getting boring. I thought that if I were more open and sought friendship, my
life would be much happier.
So loving one another. Is it possible? In my words it is possible, but
it is a long process that cannot happen overnight. It takes a period of time.
I never accomplished the full meaning of lov ...

False Advertising
Number of Words: 1110 / Number of Pages: 5
... both in magazines and on television there is no such underlying messages. Perhaps in Demott's generation it was normal to crucify and analyze interracial relationships. My generation is different because interracial relationships are of the norm and there is more of a chance to find someone who believes there is nothing wrong with them then to find someone who does. Only those of Demotts' generation look at advertisements of today and see something wrong. Many things have changed in the past ten years and my peers and I have changed with them. For our generation so many things that others might find sh ...

Relationships

... of communication within the relationship. Getting jealous just because the other partner is looking at another member of the other sex should not be a reason to resolve to arguing. There has been endless amounts of arguing in some of the that I have been in because of jealousy. For example, I would constantly be yelled at if I even glanced at someone. It got to the point where if I even looked to see who was around at a party the person that I was dating would walk over and make it own to everyone that I was with him and so I was “off limits”. This made me feel as though I couldn’t even have friend ...

... gives an individual the opportunity to improve, then this system will remain moving forward.

... efficient engines. The most important difference is performance. Japanese cars were the first to offer multi-valve engines, which have only recently come available in American models. Multi-valve engines allow for greater power while maintaining a higher fuel economy. There are other technologies concerning performance indigenous to specific Japanese automakers. Honda offers a V-Tech engine that incorporates a computer to open and close engine valves dramatically increasing horsepower, range of power across the tachometer, while maintaining fuel economy. Mazda introduced a rotary engine in 1979 th ...

Right-Wing Hypocrisy
Number of Words: 268 / Number of Pages: 1
... and therefore an agent of the devil. I disagree
totally with that assessment. Just because someone is pro-choice or
doesn't attend church regularly doesn't mean he is not a good Christian. I
thought the teachings of Jesus encouraged tolerance and forgiveness, not
persecution.
For instance, these groups preach "family values", with the father
working, the mother cooking and cleaning, and the kids being subservient to
their parents. I am surprised more women don't find this sexist and
offensive. Roles in each individual family are, and should be, different.
People should adapt to ...

their morals.
One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence
becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The
average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom.
Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning
something while watching the TV. Very few hours of television watched by
children are educational, so other ideas are being absorbed during this
period of time. Many shows on television ...

The rights of were initially interpreted to include only protection against tangible intrusions resulting in measurable injury. After publication of an influential article by Justice Brandeis and Samuel Warren, "The Right to ," in the Harvard Law Review in 1890, however, the federal courts began to explore various constitutional principles that today are regarded as constituent elements of a constitutional right to .
