Supporting Abortion as a Moral Act In order to fully understand the abortion issue, we must learn the information and inform ourselves what happens when one decides to have an abortion. In order to do this, we must ask ourselves simple questions. We will start with everyone’s favorite question, is it alive? Yes it is. Pro-Choice supporters who claim it isn't are lying to themselves. Of course it's alive. It's a biological mechanism that converts nutrients and oxygen into energy that...

It is widely accepted that for a political system to be stable, the holders of power need to be balanced off against each other. One of the reasons widely cited is that it leads to a more just and humane system of government. This need not invariably be the case but, as Lord Acton said: ``Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely''. By maintaining a balance between political forces, power is prevented from being concentrated in the hands of people who would be...

Capital punishment still performs in some countries today like China and states in U.S.A. But some countries have abandoned capital punishment such as Canada, UK and France early. In fact capital punishment is totally failure and unnecessary. It activates the revenge; there is a possibility of innocent death and it does not deter crimes. The strongest point is that capital punishment does not deter murders like it supposed to do. Capital punishment has not been shown to be effective in...

History of Interracial Relationships in America Interracial relationships in America go back to the beginning of this country. For many years, settlers settled down with Indian woman because there was a lack of European women. In addition, Indian women proved to be a valued resource in race relations in the earlier Frontier. Indian Chiefs used their beautiful women as ambassadors of goodwill. In today's society, there are many different types of interracial relationships. They come in many...

Modern Forms of Discrimination Who says discrimination doesn’t exist in present day? Newspapers, television, and people all around us are methods of seeing that discrimination occurs everyday of our lives. There might be those people who say that it is extinct, but then again, do they come in contact with people outside their own race? Discrimination is something that is here with is for as long as we live. It’s an issue too large to control. For one reason, people were...

Trapping Should Be Illegal-Then And Now Trapping is a very important issue, which is connected to many other larger issues. For instance, trapping lies at the heart of the First Nation's distinct society issue. Before I talk about the present, however, I would like to discuss whether trapping should have been illegal when Canada was first being settled in the 17th and 18th centuries. When the first explorers came to the new world, it was regarded as a huge slab of worthless rock standing...

“No need girl’s education, they are born only for taking care of their families”- this idea was stereotype in the early past of Bangladesh. The birth of a boy child was a blessing for the parents and a girl child was like a curse. It is a surprising matter that a girl child also comes like a boy child from mother’s womb and father’s blood but still that child is unexpected to her parents. In reality, a father and mother can never hate their children. Actually, the...

Hate and Racism in Society Living overseas for the majority of my life, racism was never a subject that I had to deal with. I was raised in a multi-cultural household; therefore, I was taught to appreciate people for who they are, not for the color of there skin. In relation to the story of “Boyhood with Gurdjieff”, my attitude had to be reevaluated when I encountered a situation dealing with racism. One night, a couple of friends and I gathered together to watch a boxing match...

Effects of Education on the Community Many people would think of pollution, gang violence, and/or preparing for disasters when they think of community safety. However, I am more concerned with our community members enhancing themselves through education. I feel that we need to start teaching children the importance of education when they are at a young age so that they would grow up understanding the value of being able to go to school. As for myself, even at a young age, academics has...

One day, there were two people who went to an interview for only one job position at the same company. The first person attended a prestigious and highly academic university, had years of work experience in the field and, in the mind of the employer, had the potential to make a positive impact on the company's performance. The second person was just starting out in the field and seemed to lack the ambition that was visible in his opponent. "Who was chosen for the job?" you ask. Well, if the...
