... that are felt as necessary and are carried out by scientist should not cause any pain or distress to the animals being used in the experiment. Peter Singer’s “utilitarian”(Singer, pg. 79) view, weighs the pain and distress felt by the animals against the benefits derived from such tests. “. . . that because there is small benefit to science compared to the pain experienced by the animals, experiments should be severely restricted”(Singer, pg. 81).

Human Behaviours And Society
Number of Words: 441 / Number of Pages: 2
... by each gender.
Social behaviors are supposed to be due to hormonal responses in human biological functions, but most of the time it doesn’t happen. For example, if a man is in an elegant place with very many people, and suddenly someone attacks him without any reason, the hormonal response will be to act aggressively against that person. In spite of this, the social contest will surely dictate getting out of the place without causing any problem. It can be seen that social factors always control human behavior, although the hormonal function is also to control it. Research has found that t ...

Does Violence In Movies Contribute To Violent Teens
Number of Words: 1906 / Number of Pages: 7
... we make it for someone to get something, the harder they will try to get it without anyone knowing about it. People are always looking to put the blame off on other people or something other than themselves. If people would stop blaming movies and start trying to help their kids, our society will improve. But taking the easy way out seems to be the way society looks at everything, because they figure if they look the other way they cannot be blamed, when in all reality, they are the problem. The kids that I know who cause trouble do not cause the trouble because the seen a movie star playing a ...

An Equal Opportunity
Number of Words: 503 / Number of Pages: 2
... Defoe, he suggests the draft of a school which
would give ladies every opportunity to achieve a higher standard of life.
He concludes that by studying history, learning how to read and write, and
having knowledge of other cultures is vital to molding a well rounded woman.
Wollstonecraft views are also similar to Defoe’s. She believes that because
women lack much of the education men receive, they have a tendency to
become the stereotypical female of that period. If given a chance at an
actual education they will grow as people and learn to rely upon themselves.
Dependence, or rather independence, was ...

Feminists
Number of Words: 569 / Number of Pages: 3
... my disappointment it seems the later is
becoming more prevalent within society.
After reading the article I scrolled down the page to where it listed
"more feminist links", the five that were given consisted of; three lesbian
rights pages, and two "neo-feminist pages". Thinking this must be only a small
percentage of feminist pages which were given by this specific author, I went
back and searched many of the feminist pages on the web myself. To my unpleasant
surprise it turned out that almost all were expressive of the same extreme theme.
So what does the current view of feminists as a whole mean ...

Number of Words: 487 / Number of Pages: 2
... and effort toward
problems and symptoms -- without correcting the cause -- the problems and
symptoms grow and spread like creeping crab grass.
But as an individual, what can one do? The answer is simple. All one has
to do is love. Love is the solution to all of the social problems in our society.
Adequate love will eliminate evil, crime, violence, mental suffering, the
suffering of innocent children, dysfunctional families, the break-up of families,
restlessness, discontent, unhappiness--all that is ugly, deplorable, and
destructive.
But before one can love others, one must learn to love hi ...

Money And The Way It Alters The Mind
Number of Words: 625 / Number of Pages: 3
... their focus on reality because the ones with
the power are the ones who are money hungry and run the world. It is
insane how the majority of Americans see celebrities as heroes instead of
the scientists who try to make the world a better place. The world is run,
not necessarily by the money itself, but the mentality that people have
which makes them crave the power that comes with the pleasure of being
well off.
America’s passion is wealth and the way it can control many aspects
of life. Americans have created a world in which their passion for money
becomes more momentous than all of the greater ...

Family Values: Importance

... mostly socially
compatible people, functions in a similar way as a family. The nation selects
its “national family values” by legislation which becomes law. Civilization,
over time, has brought about values which have become essential to all.
Family values have brought considerable amounts of happiness onto us
throughout the course of our history. Where would we be without love and
compassion? We would probably be in worldwide chaos if there still even was a
world left. People would only regard each other as just mild acquaintances,
there would be no friends, lovers, or married people anywhere ...

The Issue Of Premarital Sex
Number of Words: 1033 / Number of Pages: 4
... These
three aspects have led to the views held by the different sides to the
issue.
The power that sex wields can be expressed by comparing it to fire.
Fire is good because it heats our homes, cooks our food, and strengthens
steel for building. Fire can also be bad because it burns down homes,
destroys God's creation, and is painful and scarring. Likewise, sex is
also good and/or bad. It is exciting, cementing, and euphoric, but it can
destroy lives and relationships via affairs, rape, and unwanted pregnancies.
However, what determines the goodness or badness of sex or fire is the
context.

Human Rights And Trade In China

... in Tienanmen Square, unaware of the machination the government had devised to cruelly murder them. Government soldiers then proceeded to kill them in cold blood. The incident was a tragedy for the victims, obviously, but it was also devastation to their democratic purpose. The Chinese government’s blatant disregard for any human rights have caused other Chinese people to shy away from starting their opinion, because they are fearful of being killed in the same way. Right now, China is rising to become one of the largest and most populous countries; therefore it would behoove the U.S. to make an eff ...
