... of homeless people has been on the rise and something must be done. Homelessness, specially in families, is a devastating experience. It disturbs nearly all aspects of family life, damaging the physical and emotional health of family members. In addition, it interferes with children's education and development and often results in the separation of family members.

... The continued advancement of science created what is known as the industrial revolution. This is where our over consumption began. We were now able to drill into the earth and extract unrenewable resources and make them into many new products. This attitude of power and control over the resources of the earth has lead us to think of ourselves as the most important part of nature. We took what the earth had to offer, and there was no one to stop us. Speciesism is the exploitation of plants and animals.

... people say that they woke up one morning, and they realized there was nothing left in the relationship. Others say that they feel like they’re in a cage, and the walls are closing in.

It can have very powerful after-effects on the adults who have just broken up. You can usually tell if an adult is hurting after a divorce if they show an ...
... questioning with his young disciples. The very essence of the Socratic method was that everything should be fearlessly examined and justified before it should be taken as truth. Socrates was a wonderful teacher wich was why his pupils used his information in their works. Plato was a dedicated student of Socrates. He defended him against the unjust accusations of Socrates corrupting the youth. Regardless of how dedicated he was to his predecessor his thought process was very different. Plato wanted more than anything to solve the problem of how the mind can experience and recognize truth. Plato began to analyze the politics of the Greeks. He was an anti-dem ...
... A similar view was taken by Rousseau, who stated that he could not bear to watch his fellow human beings be changed to beasts for the service of others. Religion entered into the equation when Diderot, author of the Encyclopedia, brought up the fact that the Christian religion was fundamentally opposed to Black but employed it anyway in order to work the plantations that financed their countries. All in all, those influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment, equality, liberty, the right to dignity, tended to oppose the idea of . Differing from the philosophes, the political leaders and property owners tended to see as an element that supported the e ...
... are also inevitable, for it is a natural instinct that every person is born with. Take the classic cliché "You cannot judge a book by its cover." Not everything is what it seems to be. A young man who was on a quest to find himself decided to do a trek across the United States. When he reached the state of Arizona, he met up with a man in ragged clothes, messy hair and in need of a bath. Still, the young man started up a conversation and found this hobo to be very intellectual and pleasant man despite his appearance. As night approached each went and sought shelter for the night, but before they departed the hobo said "You think I'm a bum, am I right?" Be ...
... it is necessary to examine some of these differences and to show that though these do exist, neither is superior to the other, and society should strive to reflect this. The first difference that we will examine is the very core that makes us different. That core is biology. In biology, there are two distinct sets of genes: male (XX) and female (XY). Though these are distinctly different, there can already be seen some similarity in the two. Both carry the X chromosome. These different sets of chromosomes cause us to form distinct male and female physical characteristics. These differences enable males to be more suited to certain tasks. Males usually dev ...
