...early twenties and discovered such intellectual ferment as caused by Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species by Means and Natural Selection” (1859), Hardy then lost his faith and never recovered it. Hardy then began to see the world without any ruler or God. He started to think this is why the world is so wretched and terrible because there is no sovereign ruler that could prevent bad episodes from occurring and causing the people of the world to suffer. Thomas Hardy as a poem writer then presented the world as terrible, with the messages that he entailed. After a read into each of his poems during that era, it does appear that the verses expressed the world to be very depressing and utterly unsettling; these poems include “Hap”, “To an Unborn Pauper Child”, “The Man He Killed” and “God’s Education”. The poem “Hap” is a negative poem in tone where Hardy examines how easily joy is taken from his life and the randomness of its elimination, this is suggesting a chaos of pain and suffering. The pessimist tone begins from the start of the poem where Hardy mentions “if but some vengeful god would call to me,”(V-L1) notice the lack of a capital “G” hinting the lack of faith in a greater being. We also discover that the poet’s life is composed of suffering, sorrow and love’s loss. Hardy uses direct speech to create the personality of this suggested “god” who claims “know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy”(V-L3) and “thy love’s loss is my hate’s profiting!”(V-L4) The exclamation mark reinforces...

...Introduction: Should abortion be lawful? The debate on abortion has been running upon for quite a long time, yet it is still emphatically examined as of late. Numerous ladies have attempted to end the embryo or unborn child prematurely since they believe that it is not the ideal opportunity for them to be moms. Essentially, they are excessively youthful, making it impossible to have babies. To manage this issue, people need to abort. I have always encouraged the life of the unborn. Other people don't concur with me. In any case, I understood that legalizing abortions are entirely essential for women. I do concur that fetus removal should be reasonable because it gives a lot of focal points to pregnant women. There are numerous reasons why fetus removal needs legalization. Firstly, laws against premature birth murder ladies. Actually, to illegalize abortion would be harder than society would think. At the point when women feel it is essential to them, they will have premature births. Nobody can stop them, and they will do everything even in mystery, without real consideration and in unsafe circumstances. In the quarter century, abortion was legalized in the United States. The evaluation shows that about a million women for each year carried out their abortion illegally. Thousands of those women die, and thousands of more women's health were worse from doing the abortions illegally. Moreover, the legalization of abortion would secure women's wellbeing, as well as legal abortion...

...Ethical Dilemma 1: The ethics of war starts by assuming that war is a terrible thing and should be avoided at all costs. War is bad because it involves deliberately killing or injuring someone and when is that ever okay? Doing this is an abuse of the victim’s human rights. War ethics were created to help decide if going to war over something is right or wrong. War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war, the Hague and Geneva conventions, the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes. The only way to wage a war is if it is a just cause to into it and if there is a probable chance of being successful. Innocent people and non-combatants should...

...This paper will discuss the effects of abortion on the women who have this procedure. For many cultures abortion is a horrible act. It is considered murder of an unborn human being. In today`s society many people still consider abortion to be an unethical practice and dangerous procedure. It is a typical conflict theory argument of social problems in today’s society. It is a conflict in society because it comes down to peoples ethical and religious stand point that is what makes up the conflict. Ethical is either it right because the fetus is in the women’s body and its her choice to choose if she wants to be a mom or not. The other side of the ethics argument czn stem from religious as well it is a life and murdering an unborn baby is wrong. There are two groups of people who fight to sway the law makers to their side the pro abortionist group and the antiabortion group (Henslin, J. M. 2011). These are commonly known as the prolife and prochoice groups. Many people though when you use these terms don’t take the group seriously they considered these people radicals. There are protesters who believe they are standing up for the unborn by murdering abortion doctors and burning down abortion clinics. The vigil-anti`s think this is justifiable due to the fact that abortion doctors are taking innocent lives and without the clinic there would be no place to have an abortion. The pro-choice group believes that abortion...

...different feelings about abortion. Is choosing abortion a red line and a sin that is never meant to be crossed according to religious beliefs and faiths? Again there are many religions and some may agree with abortion and others may not. Abortion is a controversial issue affecting our society. Many people feel that abortion is evil because it is killing an unborn child. On the other hand, others believe that it is a woman’s constitutional right to choose especially in certain situations such as incest, rape, or health issues threatening the mother’s life. Killing an innocent child is unethical especially the way procedures are done. A pregnant woman who is pregnant due to consensual sex. Then by all means we could completely disagree with abortion. Pregnancy, from rape however, is a completely different situation. While certainly a woman has a choice in what to do with her body. It is not only in her own body she affecting. It is her living Fetus .Her child it is a life that is being taken away should she choose abortion. Many pro-Abortion activists argue that abortion is an end of pregnancy and not a human life. Yet isn’t a fetus an unborn version of a baby? Isn’t a baby a human life? When the female egg is fertilized it is considered a zygote. A result of a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg combining which we could say us the...

...The United States constitution does not impoliticly define a right to privacy. However, the Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut asserted the Bill of Rights contained penumbras that established a right to privacy. The absolutizing of privacy, as per Roe v. Wade, has led to the death of over 55 million unborn children. A loose constructionist interpretation of the Constitution was used as the execution device for these souls. A strict interpretationist view of the Constitution could have prevented the absolutization of the right to privacy created by Griswold v. Connecticut and expanded upon by Roe v. Wade that deprived over 55 million souls of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Strict interpretationism and loose constructionism...

...Killing Babies “Do you know that every year 1.3 million women kill their unborn child? An estimated 43% of all women will have at least one abortion by the time they are 45 years old.” These women all have abortion and give up the joy of being a mother. They also take away the life of an innocent baby (AbortionNO). “Abortion is the tearing of unborn life from limb to limb to end a pregnancy.” (Crossed) Abortion is killing. At the moment of conception, a new and unique human being comes into existence with its own genetically distinct DNA. It may be a different sex and have a different blood type than the mother. (AbortionNO). Abortion is never the way to handle a pregnancy because there are many side effects, there are other options, and it is murder. Abortions go back to the 1800’s. It used to be a matter no one would speak of. “Choices once unanimously considered criminal and rejected by the common moral sense are gradually becoming socially acceptable; it’s the culture of death” (Paul). Abortion was a back alley process, but now it is accepted by people and considered a women’s “choice”. There are also laws allowing these killings to happen. This has become a very controversial issue in today’s society. Some believe it is a women’s right to do what she wants with her body. While others think that life is started at the time of conception, which is why having an abortion is killing a life. ...

...On, That Night is a Korean novel written by Lim Chul-Woo during the times of War in Korea. This short story is written in such a way that readers can relate to the pain that the victims of the Korean War felt. Lim tells the story with such detail so that the readers feel like they are actually there observing. The story opens with a soldier in the company of rebels in the woods outside the town in which he grew up. The town was evacuated more than two months prior, but that night the soldier and his company saw a light. The soldier thought that it could be from his own house due to the fact that it was in the same area and it was the anniversary of the death of his father. He thought to himself that it is his own mother coming back to look for him and to pay her respects to her husband. The story then switches to the viewpoint of the mother of the soldier in the woods. She has taken the risk to return to her village even though it was forbidden for her to return. She was clinging to the hope that her son might return; clinging so much that when she evacuated her town, she did not even board up the windows and doors like much of the rest of the town. Many of the villagers even went as far as to burn down the homes that they were leaving behind. Lim continues the story in the mother’s point of view. She is in her home with meager portions of food for the tribute to her deceased husband. During the war, these meager portions of food were a luxury. Grains and Vegetables were hard...

...waves of 20,000 or greater vibrations per second. Ultrasound is used in many different arrays. It is most often used in the medical field. Ultrasound uses sound waves that are too high to be heard by the human ear. A part of the ultrasound machine called the transducer is placed on the body part and sound waves are emitted from the transducer and reflected back from organs and tissues. When the wave is sent back to the transducer it puts it into the computer which then measures the length of time it took for the wave to leave and come back and this is what makes up the pictures. Ultrasounds are used to look for many different things in the body from tumors to bones to examining an unborn baby. The history of Ultrasound doesn’t go back very far. Although ultrasound has been around since the first world war. It wasn’t until the 1940’s when it was first used for medical purposes. Two researchers are recognized in the history of ultrasound, Doctor Karl Theodore Dussik of Austria and Professor Ian Donald of Scotland. They were the first physicians to use ultrasound for medical purposes. Dussik first used ultrasound to find tumors in the brain and to look for the cerebral ventricals. He called his procedure hyperphonography. Donald wrote an article called Investigation of Abdominal Masses by Pulsed Ultrasound. That was later published in the medical journal The Lancet in 1958. Donald first started to investigate ultrasound for medical purposes after he saw it being used in ship yards...

...our own opinions on the matter. The laws regarding abortion have been debated, fought over, petitioned, and discussed, whether calmly or very heated, for years. It is a never ending war. You are either for or against this issue. For some it is a personal rights issue. For others it is a moral issue. Some see this as the woman’s right to take charge of her own body and make the decision as to what happens inside it, while others look upon abortion as an abomination and murder. Which side do you take? There is no middle ground on this. One cannot be against it for themselves, but ok with it for everyone else. What is an abortion? Abortion is defined as the deliberate induction of delivery during pregnancy before the infant has reached full term. Normally this is done within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, but can be done throughout the entire pregnancy. When did abortions truly begin? Well, a definite time frame has not been found, however there are abortions dating back as far as 1550 BC and records in China dating back to 500 BC when royal concubines were made to get them. The fight for and against abortion has been raging since about the 18th century. Christian churches allowed a woman to get an abortion as long as it was before she could feel movement. Once the 18th and 19th centuries hit the war began. In the 1800s abortions were done mainly in “back alley” practices which caused deaths and infections. In the 1950s and 1960s abortions were illegal unless the mental or physical...

...nuclear war. The horrors of a nuclear war are unimaginable. We may have some idea of them by recalling the havoc caused by the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki towards the end of the Second World War. Not only were the two cities wiped out of existence but the atmosphere for miles around was polluted and people there fell victims to strange diseases. The destruction of entire cities and sudden deaths of millions of civilians caused by nuclear weapons are shocking enough. But what is more shocking, though it is not adequately realised by laymen, is the disastrous effect of the use of such weapons on the survivors and their unborn children. The radioactive fallout spreads for miles around and causes untold harm to millions of innocent people. The radiation produced by the splitting of the atom causes mysterious diseases and leads to the birth of defective children. In fact, the fall-out from the nuclear tests and explosions in Siberia and the Pacific has already caused a lot of harm, though the Great Powers carrying out these experiments may not admit it. It is known, for example, that nuclear test made some years ago on the distant Marshall Islands affected the health of several Japanese fishermen. The harm caused by wars in the past was limited. But modern warfare spells disaster to millions of innocent civilians and to the victors themselves who cannot escape from its harmful effects. As Bertrand Russell has said, "Unless mankind abolishes war, war...

...Name: Glennder Rooplal Topic: Abortion Claim: Abortion is not the best solution. Thesis Statement: Abortion is not the best solution because abortion is murder, it is an unsafe procedure which endangers the lives of women and it disallows for safer options such as adoption. Points It contributes to mass murder It endangers the lives of women It disallows for options such as adoption Introduction The dictionary defines Abortion as: The termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. This simply means, inducing birth to kill the fetus, or baby before it is carried to full term. However, I would define abortion as morally and spiritually wrong. How would you feel if you were denied the right to live? Imagine being held against your will, gagged, and your hands bounded as you are placed in front of a firing squad about to be killed for absolutely no reason. Your right to live depends solely on someone else’s decision, hoping and praying that their decision is one that will be one of moral and ethical consciousness and would allow you your right. This is exactly what abortion entails, denying you your right to live. There are many women who might have gotten pregnant and thought that they were not ready to have a child. For most of them, they turn to abortion and see it as their only way out. I am certain many of these women have not fully understood the consequences behind abortion or does not realise that there are many other...

...abortion, but his thinking has evolved to a Pro-Life stance, no matter what the circumstance. He begins by declaring that only a small amount of abortions are out of the women’s control, most of the time women are in complete control of getting pregnant in the first place and that only a small amount of abortions are sparked by rape or incest. He explains that more than often, abortions are motivated by fixable obstacles such as: financial hardship or parent selfishness. He highlights that ultrasound and other modern technology allow us to see that an unborn baby has a detectable heartbeat, has functioning organs, and can feel pain, by the time their reach 20 weeks. Ingram questions the moral of our society and strongly believes that this scientific evidence should give us justification to outlaw abortions. He declares...
