... and blindness. Their eyes are held open with clips. Nearby a rabbit is writhing in pain and snaps its neck attempting to struggle to escape. You retch into a nearby pail and ask a blank-eyed technician if he is practicing torture techniques. In fact it is nothing of that sort. The room you have walked into is a testing laboratory for cosmetics. The technician gives a short bark of laughter and asks if you would like to see the skin-testing lab. Every year millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine ‘the safety’ of items ranging from eye shadow to oven cleaner. The eye i ...

... grasp on their position in society. Women, who used to make up a mere 20% of the working population, now hold a 48% share. A substantial increase in an insubstantial amount of time. Women are being treated differently when applying for jobs and are acquiring more and better jobs than ever before. Will the women even out with the men in the workforce and share an even percentage with them at 50% a piece? Or is it possible that women will overtake the men and the men will be forced to pursue their equal rights? This experiment will attempt to answer that very question. In a setting where the qualific ...

... one can achieve a healthy mind, body and spirit. One important choice in life is having a healthy mind. The key to achieving a healthy mind is to be open minded.

... However, it was a tragedy that could have been prevented with a closer inspection of one of the shuttle's parts that had been of concern since the entire Space Shuttle Program had been started; the O-Ring. Inside the Solid Rocket Booster, there exists certain seals which were the rubber O-rings. The objective of the O-rings is to act as a seal that is meant to prevent gases from escaping through the Solid Rocket Booster. One of the main reasons for the explosion was that O-ring "flexed" and let the gases escape, which in less than seconds later, caught fire and created the explosion. Among the other mi ...

... killed 22 (possibly more) people. He used deception to gain the trust of his victims. Bundy is best described as a sexual killer and has appeared on television as many or more times than some famous movie stars. He was a traveler, moved around a lot in order to avoid the authorities. Bundy is said to have enjoyed having "power" over his victims. Bundy was raised as a normal child, brought up by a wealthy mother and father. "Bundy blames the excessive amounts of porn for all of his murderous ways," states Ron Mitchell. He came from a good home, had a good upbringing, and cannot seem to pinpoint anything in par ...

... but it is very general and it does not explain why some of the causes of the report/ratio supposed between the availability of the weapons with fire and the crimes of violence.According to an assertion, one of the causes of this relationship between the availability of the weapons with fire and the homicides are the fact that the weapons with fire are more fatal than the others weapons and, consequently, more likely to cause a death when ways in fact and flights are made.

... university that has a large Marine Corp ROTC program. Four women joined the male cadets last year, an event that was forced upon the all male 154 year old military based college by a Supreme Court ruling. This ruling declared the all male admission policy, at the state supported Citadel, was unconstitutional. The battle against coeducation began in 1993, when the school mistakenly accepted Shannon Faulkner; thinking she was male. The war was waged so fiercely, and with such ill will, that when Faulkner withdrew after less than a week, the victorious screams of the other cadets was shown on national television. ...

... husbands, houses, or even children. The whole situation seemed bizarre, even when the party games began the conversation seemed forced. Afterwards, on my way home, I realized this problem was not uncommon.

Married people operate on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is necessa ...

... supported reason for being moral. Although there will be times when the moral decision will not be pleasurable, it will eventually lead to happiness. Morality is important for society as a whole, as it makes life livable. Now expanding on the happiness theory, I will discuss the ideas of Aristotle. Aristotle believed that happiness is the quality of whole human life. We all have misconceptions about happiness. Most of us believe that happiness is experiencing a lively feeling of joy or pleasant feelings. We can be happy at one moment, but not the next. Aristotle on the other hand said that true happiness in ...

... represent all people and adults should have the right to make their own choices. The word censorship probably would not exist today if all people agreed upon all things. This however is not possible for we are all unique individuals and have our own likes and dislikes. For instance, a person who enjoys pornographic material has the right to read or view this material if he or she enjoys this type of material. On the other hand people who feel pornographic material is obscene or offensive and do not care to partake in it do not have to view or read this type of material.
