... You might not lose any weight ,but at least you can get the job you
deserve. This is possible because of the courts and the Equal Employment

... the homeless man looking for money to feed his family. There is no isolated
problem in society and each problem has a ripple effect that eventually hurts
everyone. Even if only for selfish reasons, every individual should help to
solve the problems of society. A parallel that I can draw to further illustrate

why he is such a team player, he responded that he was a very selfish man. He
wanted to win so much that he was willing to do whatever it took to succeed.
I hope that in my later life I have every opportun ...

... others,
people would feel jealous, angry, and not as smart.
One last reason is that people get to make their own choices. Something
people enjoy in life is getting to choose who they marry, where they live,
their job and other things like that. Choices are usually about every day
life, only the person who the choice is about has the right to make the
decision definate, not anybody else.
That is why I think that an utopian society is not the right choice for
everybody in the world, It seems like it is not their life at all. In
conclusion, the world should not be a utopian society because people ...

Correctly Political: A Look Into The Dynamics Of Political Correctness
Number of Words: 1668 / Number of Pages: 7
... (Hoover and Howard 963)
In a nutshell, political correctness is an attempt at changing the way
we look at things. The goal is to be respectful of all people and cultures.
Unfortunately, in the process of fostering understanding, the culture and ideas
that are presently embraced must be discredited and virtually destroyed. This “
traditionalist” power structure is constantly under fire in the debate over
political correctness. Nontraditionalists have proposed that we “regard the
creation of a culturally diverse community as not just fair, but as a valued
objective in its own right.” (qtd. in H ...
