Altered States
... matched pairs of small red tail lights. In order to deal with this unnatural situation, the mind goes on automatic pilot. A primative, less-developed region of the brain takes over the actual driving. It tells the foot when to apply pressure to the brake and gad pedal and directs the eyes to stay open. Meanwhile the rest of the brain continues with higher functions. It devises excuses for being late for work. It replays, better than any video system, yesterday's Cowboys game. Or it creates a pleasant imaginary world where its owner wins all arguments, tells hilarious jokes, and attracts the opposite sex like ...

Legacies: Roman, Greeks, And Hebrews
... the dictator
usually controlled the army. From the Romans economic system, we gained their
great knowledge of architecture. The Romans were great builders and put the arch
to much use.
The Greeks gave us one of the first forms of democracy, and a well
developed navy. Athens, one of the most powerful city-states in Greece had a
form of government called a direct-democracy, which is where the citizens
directly interact with government affairs. The other legacy of the Greeks was
their Navy. The navy was mostly utilized by Athens in their struggle against
Sparta. It served as a useful way to fight and transport arm ...

Serial Killers
... .44 caliber bullet tore through his temple (Mitchell p.15). At this moment Robert Violante must have asking himself why this was happening, what could cause someone to do something so atrocious? This paper examines issues related to the definition and study of serial murder. It probes the minds of some of the world’s most infamous killers all the while asking the question WHY. It examines methodological issues such as problems with the FBI’s so called serial murder profiling system: the fact that the serial killer stereotypes does not necessarily stand true. This paper argues that the kill ...

The Rajahs Of The Western Worl
... one takes time to study people it becomes clear that although both legal and social rules may be liberal, there are still many relationships that are based on the concept of spoiling the man.
The reason I am addressing this topic is because it features very prominently in both Ibsen’s The Wild Duck and Miller’s Death of a Salesman; although both plays centre around Hialmar Ekdal and Willy Loman respectively, it is not their strength that their families rely on. Although both fancy themselves as the successful breadwinners it is their wives who make ends meet - yet all is done so that Hialmar and Willy ...

Antigone
... carrion for the birds and dogs to tear,
an obscenity for the citizens to behold! (229-31)
was not about to simply obey Creon’s absurd decree. She felt that her personal responsibility was to the gods and her family rather than the king. She then asked Ismene, her sister, to assist her with the burial, but was denied any help. Ismene justified her decision by telling that they were already punished and that there was no need to make matters worse for the two of them by defying Creon’s law.
Oh my sister, think- think how our own father died, hated,
his reputation in ruins, driven on ...

The Good Death -
... a groups political or social objectives. “It is generally intended to intimidate or coerce a governments, individuals or groups to modify their behavior or policies (The Vice President’s Task Force on Combating Terrorism, pg. 17).” Violence is its main ley in obtaining this change. Terrorist aim at the entire population. Which increases their chance of change. There id do much terrorism due to its unnecessary success. Terrorism has become out of hand. “Terrorism has become the accepted model for the modern use of force, with terrorists them selves often enjoying more moral credibili ...

Sports And Money
... entertaining the fans.
Some economists argue the point that major league sports, their products, players, and stadiums endow millions of dollars to our economy. This is true, but the “fine print” that goes along with it is often overlooked. Stadiums, for example, cost millions of dollars to build, maintain, etc. The funds to do this are provided by the tax paying citizens of that city. Many teams then, in return, relocate to other cities in search of more money and better facilities. This is no way to reward fans for years of loyal support. There are many programs, scholarships, foundations, etc. ...

The Ultimate Pet: A Pet Rock
... small, for it would
get lost like a gerbil. I didn't want one too big like a Labrador, for I would
trip over it every time I walked into the room. I needed a pet the size of a
fat barn cat, like the ones back home in northeast Iowa.
On my walk to the river before I left for college, I found many rocks
within my size range. I couldn't decide which one I should pick, but then on
the side of the muddy bank, partly submerged in the water, lay a shinny, sandy,
orange stone. It called out for me to pick it to take home instead of the
others, like a puppy does from a pet store window. When I held the rock in my
hands ...

Education
... because he/she was born smart and it’s up them to take advantage of it, and that teachers see this
genetic trait. According to your intellectual level the school system will see this and place you in
the proper educational training which best sues you.
The next assumption is that your community motivates lower class students to attend
institutions of higher education by providing them with financial assistance. The difference of the
social economic level of the community abilities to provide for the student differs in how much the
town can invest in your education. The inequality differs in ...

Convince Me There Is A God
... As for the questions, please try to answer them without hatred and malice. A pleasant debate can be healthy. Enjoy!
Before we begin, consider this, “Outlandish Claims require even more Outlandish Proof!”
"What is it the Bible teaches us? - raping, cruelty, and murder.
What is it the New Testament teaches us? - to believe that the
Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married,
and the belief of this debauchery is called faith."
[Thomas Paine]
Provide proof the bible is actually telling the true account of past events. Using the paradox “it’s true, because th ...
