Questioned Identity in King Lear
Joshua Mellinger English 3100 10/29/06 Questioned Identity in King Lear “Shakespeare's plays are written from a male perspective and depict predominantly conflicts of masculine identity.” (Rudnytsky 2) Throughout Shakespeare’s King Lear, the issue of identity is touched on repeatedly with Gloucester’s fall from power, Edmund’s snatching of it, and Lear’s violent fall from benevolent king to brutish castaway. Lear and Gloucester’s sanity is crushed, their sovereignty completely stripped, sense of fatherhood scrambled, and their masculinity

An Analysis of Duties to Fulfill the Human Rights of the Poor
Alan Gewirth justifies the existence of human rights in his “Duties to Fulfill the Human Rights of the Poor” by claiming that human action is the grounding to possessing rights. Essentially, Gewirth explains that what makes one human is the ability of “action.” And therefore, in order to “act” one must have certain essential rights—rights of well-being and freedom (Gewirth 222). Gewirth then attempts to claim that the humans themselves have a duty to make

Violence: Animal Cruelty in the United States
Violence: Animal Cruelty in the United States I am so sick of hearing cases on the news, like “Man from Atlanta is facing penalties in Georgia in which a puppy was cooked in an oven” or “Brothers in Atlanta are being charged for putting a puppy in a gas range and turning the gas on.” Animal cruelty is one of the most common types of violence in the United States. It is not as accustomed

Critique About one Article of the Journal of Sport and Medicine
“Anabolic Steroids” A very polemic issue this days. I will make a critique about the article of the Sport Science and Medicine Journal called “Medical Issues Associated With Anabolic Steroids.. Are They Exaggerated?”. In this article the authors Jay R. Hoffman and Nicholas A. Ratamess explain about the “demonic” vision that people have about steroids and why.

Animation Violence
Animation Violence Children from the ages 6-11 spend more time watching television than they do in the classroom. The “renaissance of TV animation” has undoubtedly led to more violent cartoons then ever before. But to talk about cartoon violence, it must first be defined. Webster’s Dictionary defines violence “as the act (or threat) of injuring or killing someone.” (Webster) And although the violence is not real, a child does not know the difference. Throughout the

Animal Testing
Animal Testing Animal testing should be outlawed because it is hurtful and not necessary. Do animals feel the same pain that we as humans feel? How do we know that other humans feel pain? We know that we ourselves can feel pain. We know this from direct experience of having your finger slammed in a drawer, or stubbing your toe on a chair. It is said that pain is a mental event; something that can

Leader in the Struggle for Workers’ Rights
Lech Walesa made history for his contribution in the area of social justice. He is most famous for his involvement in the movement of Solidarity, a Polish trade union. Due to his courage and leadership, Solidarity became the first independent labor union belonging to the U.S.S.R. in the early 1980s. His personal beliefs in freedom and humanity, which were rooted in his Catholic faith, sustained him and gave inspiration to others. Walesa was born to

Question of Survival
Question of Survival Jewish Resistance We must first realize that resistance was in no way a survival strategy. Yet, even when it seemed obvious that death was near inevitable, why did they not put up a fight? This argument is still puzzling to many holocaust historians, yet the arguments of Raul Hilberg and Yehuda Bauer offer insight to possible reasons why they did not fight and that resistance was more widespread than most people think.

Abortion as a Right
Today in America those supporting and opposing abortion engage in very heated debates. I am for abortion for many reasons that I strongly believe in. Without legal abortion many women in this country would be killing or mutilating themselves. We would also have unwanted children, which leads to huge problems for families and society. Also I believe that the outlawing of abortion violates the separation of church and state. The choice to have an abortion

Eco-Sabotage: Right or Wrong -> Monkey Wrench Gang
After reading the Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey, I find myself questioning the moral and philosophical aspects of eco-sabotage. Is it right? Is it helping? I find myself unclear on where I stand on the issue. If it were me, would I be out there on the front lines? Or would I fall back, and stand by the safety of everyday life? I find myself thinking that I would be out there, but I

Gay Rights
Gay Rights “Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve”, is the argument that many heterosexuals tend to use. I have also heard the same old story argued of Sodom and Gomorrah so much that I could possibly recite it word for word. If anyone were to seriously put their prejudices aside and look at that story, they would see that the sin was RAPE, not homosexuality. I believe that everyone should have equal rights

2004 Ap Free Response Question 3
The political cartoon by Nick Anderson depicts Ralph Nader standing at a podium addressing American society’s “throw away mentality”. Meanwhile a citizen in the background is casting her vote for the green party behind him. Ironically, the ballot drops into a waste basket, thus a wasted vote. We now realize that Nader is not talking about the environment, but addressing the issue of how the general public views votes for 3rd party candidates. This cartoonist

A Critique of Pablo Neruda's “keeping Still”
Keeping Still by Pablo Neruda is a thought provoking work of poetry. The poem was probably applicable to humanity of the time when it was authored, but it eerily fits so well into this moment of time and space. The notion of slowing the pace of life down for just a moment to realize that every living thing could use a moment of peace and reflection is so applicable to our lives in the Silicon

Editor, the News, In response to the letter "Morally reprehensible" from Allan Randell, I would like to point out that his comparisons of drug problems to race and religious persecution are faulty. To state that to be put in jail for drug use is the same as being put in jail for the colour of your skin is bizarre. For one thing, no one can choose the colour their skin will be, and what race

How Do You Know When the Price Is Right?
How Do You Know When the Price Is Right? An eight-step process can help you make better decisions. Pricing is managers' biggest marketing headache. It's where they feel the most pressure to perform and the least certain that they are doing a good job.

Moira is the Gilead’s most extreme case because of her personality and personal beliefs. She embodies everything that her best friend and the main character, Offred does not. Moira is rebellious, which will not be tolerated by the regime; independent, which is strictly against the morals and way of life in the
