...Chang Gyu Lee Professor Imbarus English 1C 25 April 2015 Prostitution Should Be legalized Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual relations in exchange for payment or some other benefit. Prostitution is commonly referred to as “the oldest profession”, which is commonly, far from exaggeration. For as long back as human being have records, evidence can be found of people selling sex for various kind of gains. When the invaders were running around slaughtering the native people, they also were enjoying the pleasures of local prostitutes. In the fourth century, Athenian orator Apollodoros said "we have courtesans for pleasure, and concubines for the daily service of our bodies, but wives for the production of legitimate offspring and to have reliable guardians of our household property." And yet, in the modern world, where people claim to be the most socially financially advanced, prostitution is still an illegal action. Prostitution is one of the growing concerns around the world. Governments of different countries seem to have no answer to this illegal act. While in some countries, it has been legalized, in others it is strongly condemned due to cultural and religious factors. Prostitution in recent years has become a business for many. Many of the people hire prostitutes and sell them to men looking for sexual pleasure for loads of money. The question is if prostitution is illegal then why is the industry for prostitutes expanding? The society...

...estimated 40 million couples of childbearing age who live in the United States, 8.5% are involuntarily infertile. Obviously, many more infertile couples around the world can be added to this more than 3 million in the United States. For these couples, in vitro fertilization (IVF) offers new promise. The main argument of in vitro fertilization is to help infertile couples to be able to conceive a child of their through science. IVF separates the unitive and the procreative aspects of marriage thus it is not allowed by the Catholic Church. It is a mortal sin to separate the unitive and the procreative aspects of marriage. In addition the sperm donor commits a mortal sin in order to harvest the sperm which is needed for IVF. Although one human life may be created through the IVF technique, what will happen then to the other fetuses? As we know life begins the moment the egg cell and the sperm cell meets so when one is chosen to be the baby to be conceive the others are discarded many surplus fetuses, (unborn babies), are destroyed through this process. Other surplus unborn babies are left frozen in the laboratories where they...

...The Australian national cinema is one that constitutes a search for identity, for a place to belong in the face of adversity and alienation. The factors that are necessary to have an understanding of our cinema must be traced back to our beginnings. Our genesis is a dark one, we are essentially an amalgamation of convicts, criminals and offcuts from other societies which is perhaps why we have a innate resonation with those who take matters into their own hands, that deny authority in search of their own identity and to a larger extent, their destiny. The essential “aussie battler” is the typical working-class man trying to make his mark on the world in the face of adversity and the notion of the “bushranger”, an average person who rises up...

...Modern technology has given the world many new abilities and possibilities. We have progressed from preserving life to mending life, and now scientists have the ability to facilitate the creation of life. Many concerns from both the public and the scientific community have risen to comment on this manner of innovation. The scientific community took a large step forward with the results of genetically modifying animals and life outside of the human genome, however, the human genome may be included soon. Mary Shelley’s technological cautions in Frankenstein are reflected in the modern world in the genetic modification in humans. Similarly to the nature of the creation of the monster in Frankenstein, discussions about genetic engineering show...

...calls all animals to a secret meeting. He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones. Three days later Major dies, but the speech gives the more intelligent animals a new outlook on life. The pigs, who are considered the most intelligent animals, instruct the other ones. During the period of preparation two pigs distinguish themselves, Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon is big, and although he isn't a good speaker, he can assert himself. Snowball is a better speaker, he has a lot of ideas and he is very vivid. Together with another pig called Squealer, who is a very good speaker, they work out the theory of "Animalism". The rebellion starts some months later, when Mr Jones comes home drunk one night and forgets to feed the animals. They break out of the barns and run to the house, where the food is stored. When Mr Jones sees this he takes out his shotgun, but it is too late for him; all the animals fall over him and drive him off the farm. The animals destroy all whips, nose rings, reins, and all other instruments that have been used to suppress them. The same day the animals celebrate their victory with an extra ration of food. The pigs make up the seven commandments, and they write them above the door of the big barn. They run thus: 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink...

...exist then we have nothing to worry about, but if it does, we have a lot to be concerned about as will be discovered in this video. It has always been my contention that the governments of the world are not based on Christians values and principles, and that those who are truly in power in the world today are in fact Luciferians. What is a Luciferian? This is someone who believes that Lucifer (Satan) is in fact the true God, the “Light Bearer”, the “Morning Star” (angel of light). This belief system is based on the story of Genesis 3. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. The perverted doctrine of Lucifer being the real God is that Lucifer was unfairly treated by God. Not only was Lucifer banished from God’s presence in heaven...

...Animal Farm Chapter 1 After Mr. Jones went to bed, the Major arranged a meeting in the barn. At the meeting every animal on the farm showed up, to hear what the Major had to say. In the Major’s speak, he will tell about a strange dream that he had last night, but first he tells that he not has many months left before he dies, so he will tell about those things that he has acquired in his life. He speaks about that miserable life they live, where they only are given such much food as will keep the breath in their bodies, and they have to work to the last power is out of them. No animal in England is free, no animal knows the meaning of happiness and leisure. The humans are the answer of all their problems. All men are enemies, all animals are comrades. The Major’s dream is about how the earth will be, when there no man is. He sings a song that came back from his childhood in the dream, It’s called ‘’Beasts of England’’. All the animals sing the song. The meeting stops that Mr. Jones shoots after the barn, because he thought there was a fox, and that was the reason of the noise from all the animals. Characters: Mr. Jones Drunk Mrs. Jones The old Major (Boar) The three dogs – Bluebell, Jessie and Pincher. Two Cart-horses – Boxer and Clover Clover is a motherly mare, got four foals.

...Research We received a task which was to investigate science at work. This would vary from many different fields in science meaning that there are many different options which are available to us across the U.K. Due to this, we decided to narrow the search to local companies so that finding information from them was easier to attain due to them being easily accessible. So, to do narrow the companies to make it easier to find the companies and group them; 1. Firstly, before anything, sat with my peers and teachers and came up with different sectors of what companies would have aspects of sciences which are used and then we created the groups to specific aspects of sciences such as Health, Food, farming, education, manufacturing etc. We chose these types of sectors due to them being specific to a type of science which would split the companies due to the different uses of what the comp 2. .anies focus on. As we created the groups, we made sure that our groups were such of those that can be linked with each other. 3. After doing so, we then brainstormed on what the company types would fit under the categories we created. This was done on a mind map so that we could see the groups and what type of company or what the company specializes in would be visible to us after we had found the types of companies we were looking for, we could then find the companies that were close to us. We were looking for the companies that were near us due to them being easily accessible...

...Research The use of fetal tissue in biomedical research has been a hot topic for debate in social and political forums ever sense the landmark decision in the 1973 case of Roe vs. Wade (Beller & Weir 182). The decision of the Supreme Court to give women the right to abort a fetus without having a medical reason for doing so, sparked controversy which has affected any medical procedure or research dealing with fetuses (Bellar &Weir 182). Supporters of fetal tissue research believe it has too much potential to provide cures for many of the diseases and medical problems that plague today’s society for it to be halted. Opponents of this type of research believe it should be stopped because it is unethical to take the life of one human being in order to preserve the life of another. Until the ruling in Roe vs. Wade experiments involving fetal tissue were conducted without any scrutiny from the public sector (Maynard-Moody 13). The first documented procedure involving the transplant of fetal tissue was carried out by Italian researchers in 1928, doctors transplanted the pancreas of a fetus into a diabetes patient, the patient showed no signs of improvement (Maynard-Moody 11). Research involving fetal tissue didn’t become widespread until the 1960’s. In 1957, a non-habit-forming sleeping pill was released in Europe. The pill was widely used in Europe, but not approved in the United States. A few years after the release of the drug there was a sharp rise in the amount...

...in Greece and Rome was the primary factor in the limitations set on women. Phillip Longman talks about patriarchy in his article Return of Patriarchy describing it as, “a value system that not only requires men to marry but to marry women of proper station…a cultural regime that serves to keep birthrates high among the affluent, while also maximizing parents’ investment in their children…no advanced civilization has yet learned how to endure without it” meaning that the only way that Greece and Rome could have existed for as long as it did was with this system of patriarchy, the foundation of both civilizations (Longman, 58). High fertility rates were pushed into the Greek and Roman cultures because as Longman points out when plants and animals were domesticated people were no longer concerned about overpopulation but lack of population, something integral for the survival of a city (Longman, 62). The best way to make sure that population was continually...

...A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF GEORGE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM By HAZEL K. DAVIS, Federal Hocking High School, Stewart, OH S E R I E S W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., E D I T O R S : UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of George Orwell’s Animal Farm 2 INTRODUCTION Animal Farm is an excellent selection for junior and senior high students to study. Although on one level the novel is an allegory of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the story is just as applicable to the latest rebellion against dictators around the world. Young people should be able to recognize similarities between the animal leaders and politicians today. The novel also demonstrates how language can be used to control minds. Since teenagers are the target not only of the educational system itself but also of advertising, the music industry, etc., they should be interested in exploring how language can control thought and behavior. Animal Farm is short and contains few words that will hamper the reader’s understanding. The incidents in the novel allow for much interactive learning, providing opportunities for students to dramatize certain portions, to expand on speeches, and to work out alternative endings. The novel can be taught collaboratively with the history department as an allegory of the Russian Revolution, allowing students to draw parallels...

...Characters: The man (the father, called Papa) travels the road with his young son. He believes he has been appointed by God to protect the boy, and he does so at all costs, even killing another human being in order to save his son. Unlike his son, the man remains deeply suspicious and even paranoid of other individuals and their intentions, understandably. He is loath to approach other travelers on the road to offer them assistance, while the boy often wishes that he would. The man grows sicker throughout the novel, and his illness is manifested in his persistent cough and bloody spit. At the end of The Road, the man dies next to a stream in a clearing in the woods. The boy is born into the post-apocalyptic world. He knows nothing about the world before the catastrophe. He travels the road with his father and believes that he and his father are the "good guys" who carry the fire. In various encounters with other travelers on the road, the boy continually displays his faith in humanity and his humbling trust in others. Despite their near brushes with brutal violence and death, the boy consistently pleads with his father to help others in need. After his father's death, the boy is rescued by a family of people who assert that they are also the good guys. The wife of the man who is the protagonist has already died, and her situation is only described in flashbacks. She chose to avoid rape and murder, which she believed were inevitable, by committing suicide. She used a...
