... our selves would be more appropriate. The murderers from Littleton were into “gothic” music such as Marilyn Manson. They wore black, and were outcasts in their school. So What?. So did I. But I DIDN’T KILL ANYONE. The common “goth” kid usually is looking for a group to fit in. They don’t particularly like the activities that the ‘athletic’ kids take part of (namely drinking heavily after games and beating each other to a pulp). These kids are looking for more out of life.

This writer believe that a discussion , no matter how seemingly rational or even irrational is purely speculation and can have no real physical proof of that existence.

These myths also tell what substances were used (if any) in order for man to exist. The existence of man is a natural event but creation myths give other explanations. The functional myth theory talks about how myths were used to teach morality and soc ...

... of two sexes; rather it is physically evident that two sexes exist - male and female. Yet the natural notion of two sexes which is taken as a given in recent years has come under scrutiny. In the school of Social Constructionist thought the pervading idea is, all perceived relations between the individual and the external world are a product of the social milieu. Monique Wittig argues dogmatically this very ideal in her essay One Is Not Born A Woman. Wittig is a Material Feminist; consequently she analyzes the definition of what a woman is, and tries to move away from the notion of naturalness in women. She c ...

This collection is thrown into a mashed pile of sayings, images and life experiences that is regurgitated when a person experiences the next object or thought. Richard Rodriguez explains how much he has changed in his essay "The Achievement of Desire", included in the collection Ways of Reading, "It will be harder to summarize what sort of life connects the boy to the man" (622). The road to any position in life is long and filled with unique obstacles, all of which shape a person into a well-rounded individual. It is nearly impossible to come up with a sh ...
