... effective tool available for teaching personnel responsibility, sportsmanship, safety, ethics of hunting, and the achievement of marksmanship, and much more. For many young people being allowed to own a firearm is a maturing experience. For example, the trust given to a son or daughter is very important, because that means that a parent knows their child will always do the right thing when it comes to safety and responsibility. When I think my child is old enough and able to accept the responsibility of using a gun, I will carry on the tradition of teaching him or her the right way to do so. Hunter Education courses are given annually at low cost and it allows parents and a child to b ...

... Shepard simply because of his sexual orientation deserve swift and certain punishment. Their acts are despicable. Unfortunately, a new form of McCarthyism is welling up in the aftermath of this crime, and it is despicable, too. Ignoring the pleas of grieving father Dennis Shepard not to "use [his son] Matt as part of an agenda," homosexual organizations have rushed to exploit young Shepard's tragic death in Wyoming. A number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and "transgendered" groups are blaming anti-gay organizations; the Family Research Council; and other pro-family, Christian organizations for this heinous assault. Many in the media have joined in the slander, making charges that ignore bot ...

... with that small portion of the song. It ruins the song. One band, the Insane Clown Posse was banned because of their lyrics, and their name. I may not list to the band, but I feel that others should be able to listen to them if they want to. Books are normally banned instead of censored. Sometimes, the inappropriate spot in the book might be changed, but most of the time the book is banned. Many times the book is banned because of the message that it sends to the younger kids, but not for any foul or obscene language. The Catcher in the Rye was banned because of the loner kid that it described. Even the bible has been banned. Some say that censoring inappropriate material, preve ...

... between them and the outside. Later on, different kinds of small groups will be formed. Different gruops will have conflict since they don't share the same culture, habit and language. The harmony of the whole society is going to break. Development and growth of our society will slow down, and everyone have to suffer from it. To avoid this, communication is needed to eliminate the conflict and misunderstanding. This means we need to have a proper language that everyone can learn and use. English is the best choice since most people know it. So it is necessary to make English as the official language. If English were the official language, all kinds of documents and publicat ...

... intimately kissing can be considered incest. This is not all true for the law's definition. In Georgia, incest is defined as any sexual intercourse between known relatives, by blood or by marriage, (meaning a step-parent and step-child.) Incest laws basically exist to prohibit marriage or inbreeding between family members, and the sentences are almost never carried out. (Kosof, pg 53) So incest is stated as wrong, but not enforced. The Bible states that incest is wrong, just as the law does. ACursed be he who has relations with his father's wife... Cursed be he who has relations with his sister or half-sister!" (Deu 27:20,22.) Therefore, the definition can be altered to fit the needs of th ...

... are far superior to humans in manual dexterity, the Garners decided to try to teach chimpanzees American Sign Language or Ameslan. The Gardners and others studied these chimpanzees, Washoe, Lucy, and Lana. These three chimpanzees learned to use and could display a working vocabulary of 100 to 200 words. They also distinguished between different grammatical patterns and syntaxes (Sagan 615). Besides distinguishing, the chimpanzees also inventively constructed new words and phrases. For example, when Washoe first saw a duck land on water, she gestured "water bird," which is the same phrase used in English. Washoe invented that gesture for the occasion (Sagan 615). Lucy also displaye ...

... no matter how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a Democratic-Republic, that was the reason why the United States was formed. China though has not always been communist. In 1949 Mao Se Dung started the Communist revolution and changed China to a Communist country and it has been Communist ever since then. There are no social classes in a Communist society everyone is equal and on the same level, because everyone is supposed to ha ...

... altogether. Bennett claims that daytime TV is the problem in our society today. Children are watching and learning the immoral truths of today’s society. But ask yourself where are those children’s parents? Bennett wants to eliminate the talk shows so then our culture can be cleansed, but are the talk shows to blame for our so-called culture rot. Shouldn’t we look to point the finger at other television shows? Bennett would disagree, he states that “the worst of television is the day-time television talk shows” (29). His rightwing, conservative attitude would say that we should ban all daytime talk shows to eliminate the problem in our society. Now if this would happen it would be c ...

... should adhere to First Amendment principles because academic freedom is a bedrock of education in a free society. No social institution is better suited to fight bigotry than the university. It can do so in its courses and perhaps most importantly through the way it conducts itself as a community. We're not talking about choosing between the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment. We're talking about choosing between regulating speech and regulating action. Murder is illegal. Talking about it isn't. Freedom of thought and expression is particularly important on the college campuses. The educational forum is where individuals come together to participate in a process of shared in ...

... and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” The Rights of the American public are exactly what Thomas Jefferson had in mind in 1776 when he replaced John Locke’s definition of rights in the Declaration of Independence from “Life, Liberty and Property”, to “Life, Li ...
