  • Dispute And Other People
    378 words
    The thought of a child being sent off to war is very upsetting. The first excerpt of this week's collection of letters clearly shows that the 15-year old writer was not ready for the responsibilities of being a United States soldier. He existed for only 18 years on earth, dying at the age equivalency of a high school senior, such as I. I believe people shouldn't be sent away to war, unless their age permits them to do so as well as their own free will. One compliments the other. Being drafted, t...
  • Perry And Dick
    1,104 words
    The book I chose to read and do my book journal on this quarter was In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. I really thought that this book was much longer than it really should have been, although it was still a fairly interesting book. The idea that someone you have never met and never heard about could rob and kill everyone in your house is a rather unnerving notion. In this book there is really only one part that I cannot figure out. Towards the end of the book Al Dewey one of the men responsible fo...
  • Attractive To The Esfp
    852 words
    Esfps (that's me) get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESFP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes myself feel 'dead inside. ' I have a natural drive to best the competition. The lights come on, the music plays, the game begins. Life is never dull around myself. My attractive, friendly style has a theatrical flourish which makes even the most routine, mundane event seem exciting. I think I will be ...
  • Intention Of Genocide In The War
    628 words
    GENOCIDE The word genocide has not been in existence for a very long: it was the jurist Lem kin who coined it between the two world wars. The thing itself is as old as humanity and there has never been a societ whose structure has preserved it from committing this crime. (Jean-Paul S arte) All genocide is a product of history and it always carries the signs of the society from which it springs. The case which we have to judge concerns the largest contemporary capitalist power. It is as such that...
  • Legalization Of Cannibalism
    653 words
    Virginia Woolf once said, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well". This is one of the many arguments behind legalizing cannibalism. If the act of eating other human beings was legalized and regulated it will solve all the problems of modern society. Cannibalism has been around since the Neolithic times. It is not currently practiced, but I think a revival of this age-old practice would benefit everyone. Cannibalism can solve world hunger. It can improve our crim...
  • Psychological Effects On The Sniper
    469 words
    In 'The Sniper'; Liam O' Flaherty suggest the horror of war not only by presenting its physical dangers but also by showing its psychological effects. The story takes place in Dublin around the beleaguered Four Courts in the middle of the city where gunfire of heavy guns, machine guns, and rifles break the silence around the sniper because of a civil war that is especially dangerous because the enemy looked similar to yourself. The sniper is on the roof in a vulnerable situation because there is...
  • Role Variants Of The Guardians
    1,235 words
    For many years, people have always questioned each other's motives. People have always questioned why certain people do certain things or why certain people act a certain way. We have always wondered what makes other people tick; people besides ourselves. Watching another person perform daily tasks can raise many questions. Questions such as ' Why didn't he do that the other way?' or ' How can someone bungee jump?' Temperament, Character, and Personality have mystified human beings so much, Plat...
  • Buzzy's Diner
    848 words
    My First Job at Buzzy's Diner John LehnerFeb. 15, 1996 English 111 The first job I had was at Buzzy's Diner, located in a small suburban town in upstate New York. It isn't a classy restaurant, it isn't even a very clean one, but during the hours that its open in the morning it is probably the busiest place within fifteen miles. Although the food there is inexpensive and very good, the main reason people eat their lunch and breakfast there is because of the diner's cozy atmosphere and timeless qu...
  • Things From The Other Person's Point
    2,597 words
    "The more you get out of this book, the more you " ll get out of life". This is the claim that Dale Carnegie makes in reference to his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Carnegie proposes that there are four main ideas that one should use when dealing with people: 1) Know how to handle people, 2) Make people like you, 3) Win people to their way of thinking, and 4) Be a leader. These skills are essential not only in being a good manager, but also in dealing with people in day to day l...
  • Pre Destination Vs Self Determination People
    1,168 words
    Pre-Destination vs. Self-Determination People like to believe that they have the freedom to choose to be or do whatever it is that they want to be or do; it is, however, quite the opposite. This sense of freedom is called self-determination. At the other end of the spectrum, when no matter what we do seems to make any difference or when events just seem to happen and we think about them as being out of our control or somehow planned by some force unknown to us (such as a God), that is called pre...
  • Eight People

There were now many different types of machines to do the work that people had to do themselves in the past. Thus, machines rapidly replaced people. Now with less people working and getting paid, there were people that could afford what these factories were making. Most of the people working in the United States at this time were immigrants, so they were forc...

    Is there such a thing as sovereignty of the people Hegel, born in 1770 was living in a period where modernity began. He was greatly influenced by such leaders like Napoleon.

Hegel puts a great deal of influence on the individual, on the social aspect of the human and man's need for recognition. Furthermore he maintains that we are governed by reason.

  • Impersonation Of Other People's Beliefs
    504 words
    Feelings of disgust fill me when I observe the identity of an individual's soul being crushed by the widespread need to fit in with society and be like everyone else. Our unique pasts create differences in character, appearance and emotion, which form the foundations for our personal beliefs. When society attempts to erase these differences to create a homogeneous society, individualism, a value that should be held in high esteem, is lost. Throughout my life, I have been blessed with a combinati...

  • Group Of People Versus One Person
    849 words
    Race and racism are two different words, have two different meanings, but somehow work together to prove a point. The problem is even though they begin with the same letters the meanings behind each can be harmful if used in the wrong context. What some people believe to be true is actually what they were brought up to know as the truth. As I think about this subject I will try to look at both views and see ignorance and intolerance, as well as objective views and outlooks. Let's say 100 years a...

    Greek Life Under Attack According to an article written by Jay Reeves, administrators at the University of Alabama are getting involved in integrating sororities and fraternities by imposing rules and punishments for those organizations that do not comply.
