Animal Cruelty
... together tightly in the balance are being slowly unraveled to
lead into ultimate self-destruction.
In 1988, 16, 989 animals died in laboratories in the United Kingdom. This was
due to such tests as acute and chronic toxicity experiments, where the animals
are forced to consume substances such as perfume, make-up and other beauty
products and are often literally poisoned, their systems literally overloaded by
the substance in question. Another testing method is the Lethal Dose 50 percent
test or LD50. In this procedure at least half of the animals must die in order
for the government to figure out how much a hu ...

Transcendentalism
... greatest influential transcendentalist writer of the time period. Inspired by the exploration and writing about spiritual relationships between humanity and nature, and the ideas of his good friend Ralph Emerson, he experimented with this new found idea. On July fourth he left on an experience to Walden Pond. He spent two years watching, writing, and feeling the power of nature. The only way Thoreau could encounter a relationship with nature was to become one with the way of the woods, streams, ponds, and animals. Thoreau was also indicative of Emerson's success as a transcendental writer, because they lived to ...

... created, but
not until the OJ Simpson trial has domestic violence become "the issue du jour."
When Simpson was arrested on New Years Day for beating his wife, none of the
newspapers reported it. When he pleaded no contest five months later, there was
a small brief in the second page of The Los Angeles Times' Metro Section (Cart).
In the last three years alone the list of the accused included Dante Bichette,
Barry Bonds, John Daly, Scottie Pippen, Jose Conseco, Bobby Cox, Mike Tyson,
Warren Moon, Michael Cooper, Darryl Strawberry, Duane Causwell, Olden Polynice,
Robert Parish, and OJ Simpson( Callahan, Sports Ilustr ...

Alienation Of Living Activity
... locked into a vicious circle. Since they have no commodities, their only exit from this circle is to regard themselves, or parts of themselves, as commodities. And this is, in fact, the peculiar 'solution' which men impose on themselves in the face of specific material and historical conditions. They do not exchange their bodies or parts of their bodies for money. They exchange the creative content of their lives, their practical daily activity, for money.
As soon as men accept money as an equivalent for life, the sale of living activity becomes a condition for their physical and social survival. Life is excha ...

Pornography: Sex Or Subordination?
... As I grew older, I became more and more interested and involved in it,
(pornography) became and obsession. I got so involved in it, I wanted to
incorporate (porn) into my life, but I couldn't behave like that and maintain
the success I had worked so hard for. I generated an alter-ego to fulfill by
fantasies under-cover. Pornography was a means of unlocking the evil I had
buried inside myself” (Leidholdt 47). Is it possible that pornography is acting
as the key to unlocking the evil in more unstable minds?
According to Edward Donnerstein, a leading researcher in the pornography

The American Pursuit Of Happiness
... be, in a free
society such as the United States of America. From the days of Thomas
Jefferson, to modern society today, happiness, it seems, is a right, a
dream and perhaps a gift of all who choose to pursue it, and pursuing it is
exactly what everyone needs to do.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenev ...

Getting Out Of The Ghetto
... she has no controll over at this point in her life. This is only one example as to why many of the children and young adults in lower class societies such as this one turn to dealing drugs, stealing, and prostitution, just to survive. There are a few that are lucky enough to maintain a blue collar job, but even in this case, the income is usually relitively low and the struggle continues. The fact that LeAlan Jones is young , a minority, and was born into the ghetto makes the struggle for success ever more difficult. Jones is deteermined to beat the odds, and get an education that will break the poverty that his ...

Partner Abuse

theories of why it might occur and prof from other sources. Most important a
survey given out to Curry college students and its results will be included. I

Literary review
Partner violence is typically defined as an act carried out with the
intention of causing physical or mental pain to another person. Partner abuse is
not only important as a phenomenon in itself but also because it precedes
