... victims are civilians. Among the victims may be a teenage girl gathering firewood in Cambodia. A grandfather herding sheep in Afghanistan. Or a boy running across an empty field in Angola. What makes antipersonnel mines so abhorrent is the indiscriminate destruction they cause. Mines cannot be aimed. They lie dormant until a person or animal triggers their detonating mechanism. Antipersonnel mines cannot distinguish between the footfall of a soldier and that of a child.

... who does not wish to work and has nothing to do with civil disobedience. Thoreau says that if injustice “is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say break the law” (Jacobus 134).

... contrasts: man lives, yet he is condemned to die, death is the only definite destiny one can be sure to reach; most people live believing the existence of an afterlife, yet there has never been any proof of its actuality. Camus critiques in The Plague the ability of "Absolute Truth"- God's definition of our being here, to effectively guide the lives of the people of Oran, he thus challenges man to do the work that has hitherto assigned to God/Absolute Truth.

... I did not record that site's location and I have since been unable to find it again. I am glad I researched this topic. I have learned much about the benefits of teaching the I-Search. Also, researching the internet for as much information possible on this topic gave me additional practice in utilizing the World Wide Web more efficiently. Although I do not believe all teachers will ever convert exclusively to the I-Search paper, a radical move that would not be educationally prudent, I am convinced the I-Search is an effective alternative to traditional research papers. In fact if the instructor chooses ...
