... more exited and happy the audience seems to be. Violence simply stimulates people. Big glory comes when one passes out! YES...here is the hero! What is the message here? It is, we will like you more since you are physically stronger, and we will respect you because we are afraid of you. That is again, a wrong message. Violence is glorified the most throught media, violent movies, TV shows and newspaper sensationalism. Violent movies are born one after another: "Die Hard","The God Father", "Natural Born Killers", "The Proffesinal", "Pulp Fiction"," Terminator 2", etc.When these kinds of movies come out, there are lines for tickets. In some countrie ...
... having many people who can interpret things in different ways, it is difficult for somebody to say what is good or bad, and in the same time to have his opinion shared by everyone. Trying to classify, we might come up with a result that might be true or not, depending on the point of view. In other words everything is relative. Paradoxically, when we start thinking we, we discover that we actually know almost nothing, or that there are many things left, to be known. On the other hand, the more we know, the more we want to know. This desire of knowing more and more might be expressed through questions. One big difference that separates the hum ...
... all, Aristotle stated that "man is by nature a political animal." (Aristotle, 556). The state is established for the good of everyone as whatever man produced was for a benefit. The state also brought the good out of man. Without the state, man would be "either a beast or a god." (Aristotle, 557). The soul was naturally higher than the body as it naturally governed the actions of the body. People whose bodies were in control could be hurtful. "… Although in bad or corrupted natures the body will often appear to rule over the soul, because they are in an evil and unnatural condition." (Aristotle, 560). Aristotle wanted to show that when the soul was not in co ...
... exposure. Human behavior is very complicated and can not be monitored like rats can in a laboratory. Humans will act differently in every setting and it is very difficult to get a natural response in an unnatural environment. If a person is used to viewing TV in their own home, on their own beaten up couch, their response level will be very different than it would be in an empty room with a two way mirror. Not only will their awareness level be raised, they may be more concerned in the changed viewing environment and less on the television programs. In a person's home they may watch TV with a high or low awareness level for the program. Some people choose to w ...
... Morality should not change over time even though cultures and social stratifications do, what was morally right three thousand years ago is morally right today and should be morally right three thousand years from now. Only with universal principles can we as collective society discover what is right, what is wrong, and what is best, therefore there exists not modern morality but simply morality. An empirical philosopher, W.T. Stace, argues that if we believe all morals are culturally relative, it is impossible for us to judge what is best. Although admitting he does not know what is best, he concludes that it is the responsibility of man to discover what is. He doe ...
... In any case, it involves being dumb. If you are scientist, english teacher, or psychiatrist, the word stupid would be a little different. If your occupation were mentioned above, your interpretation might be simular to the dictionarys: “Stupidity: 1:Lack of intelligence; dullness. 2: a foolish act or idea.”. The word “Stupid” would used differently than most commoners. It would be used less than an insult but refer to something somewhat more in a serious manner. For example, saying that someone is stupid, would mean that they are mentally challenged or really act dumb. In, any case, the word “Stupid” refers to being dumb and being halfwitted. Howeve ...
... a pearl of great value. “TO” CHOICE = LIBERTY, so liberty is a choice, discretion, opportunity, alternatives, electives, prerogatives, options, variety, diversity, will, volition, the desire to do as we please, the to choose. Liberty tells that our choices are just and defensible because they do not impose disproportionately high costs on others to avoid the consequences of our choices. is the optimization of liberty, that is, the simultaneous maximization of choice and maximization of avoidibility. There may be that cannot be categorized. does not mean that we can do anything we want. of speech for example, does mean we can go into crowded theater and ye ...
... Living together can be valuable a substitute for marriage, a cur e-all for marital problems, and a solution to the problem of frequent divorce. A popular rationale for living together is that it is an ideal way to have a "try out." This trial marriage is a result of the ever increasing divorce rate. Many couples are afraid of marriage and decide to live together with the intention to persue marriage if the temporary arrangement is successful. The couples hope to "minimize their chances of a potential disastrous marriage; any conflicting attitudes toward social activities, economic arrangements, or domestic chores will be discovered and hopefully resolved while th ...
... 1962, SAT scores plummeted. Teen pregnancies, teen sexual diseases, teen suicides, teen alcohol, drug abuse, pornography, and illiteracy rates abruptly increased 200 to 300 percent. Violence is one of the main factors effecting are schools today. Rape is a growing problem among juveniles. A juvenile commits one out of every five rapes that occur in the United States. There is also a higher use of drugs and alcohol among kids in public schools. Over 80 percent of public high school students drink alcohol and 45.7 percent have used marijuana. Drugs and alcohol make most people extremely violent. That is also on of the reasons why our violence and crime rates are so h ...
... federal benefits are concerned. Congress has approved a bill, the Defense of Marriage Act, that will allow states to decide whether to recognize homosexual marriages. The second part of the bill would define "for federal purposes" as the union of a man and a woman. Under such a definition gay and lesbians, even if they win the right to marry in Hawaii or elsewhere, would not be able to file joint federal tax returns, claim federal pension, or survivor's benefits, or be allowed to file for green card status (Gallagher 21). I don't feel that marriages between gays or lesbians should be given the same status as heterosexual marriages. Since when do gay people thi ...
