Persuasive Essay On Obsession And Pride

The police and the prosecution’s given motive to arrest and prosecute Adnan is the tale of a Pakistani man with great pride and honour was dumped by his girlfriend, who he controlled and manipulated. There is nothing to suggest that Adnan and Hae’s relationship was anything other than the usual mundane high school fare. There is no evidence that Adnan was abusive, or violent, or potentially homicidal. After the breakup, many people said that Adnan appeared to be taking it pretty well. In fact, Adnan had side chicks scattered all over the place. Adnan’s side girls could be found in different states, which show that he was probably over the breakup if he could be with all of these girls, which is significant for purposes of bolstering the prosecution’s

Can love and lust go hand in hand? Certainly, life experiences will show us that it is possible to be sexually attracted to someone, but to not love that person. Yet, life experiences will also show us that we can be sexually attracted to someone and indeed love them very much. Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D. says love distinguishes from lust, because love, “includes a desire for physical contact and intimacy, but also caring about the other’s needs as if they were your own.” (Riggio, 2014) Lust, as defined by Merriam-Webster, as a noun, is as unbridled sexual desire. (Merriam-Webster, 2017) There is no mention of lust being concerned about the other person’s needs in that definition. Love sounds, only so very loving, but we will see later it can take someone to extremes, that lust cannot.

When one hears the word “fan” two mental images pop up, one being a grown man dressed up in a costume, or two a preteen young girl who has posters of Justin Bieber all over her room. However, not all fans are like, although the mass majority are neither of those two images of people. I believe that the word “fan” and “fandom” has turned into something negative. Most people believe that fandom are for those who are nerds and do not have a life outside of what they are obsessed with. I believe that those who are not in a fandom right now, join one. Fandoms create a sense of belonging, community, and comfort.

During the summer I hiked up Mount Lassen barefoot and shirtless. The night before the hike I had lost a huge bet to my brother. My brother for the bets penalty was that I had to hike the mountain barefoot and shirtless. I do feel a deep sense of pride from this achievement because this is probably the coldest hike I have ever been on. I got lots of praises while hiking up and down the mountain and to say the least, it felt pretty good.

The London Pride parade today is the largest of its kind in the country. If you donated £3 whilst waiting in a bag-search queue at a London Pride event this year, you were presented with a ribbon wristband with ‘SUPPORTER’ emblazoned on it. The volunteers holding the donation buckets would inform you that if you didn’t donate, there might not even be a pride the next year, and this was the only free Pride in the country (this is untrue). However, Pride in London has come a long way since the first event billed as a pride march in 1972, and is now heavily subsidised by corporate sponsors.

“You love you learn” says Alannis Morissette in her famous song “You Learn”. But what have I learned from love is the real question. Love has thrown me through walls effortlessly and has caused me happiness and misery. This has taught me that whenever I feel the next crush coming on that I need to stop and think about what could happen and who the person I like really is. Love has made me question every choice I make thoroughly. Overall love has taught me that not everyone is a good person.

Schools are allowed to confiscate phones and search them without a warrant as long as they have reasonable suspicion, but often times, people do not understand what reasonable suspicion is, which leads to phones being searched at unnecessary times, and students’ privacy being invaded. In order for a person to use reasonable suspicion as their reason to search another person’s belongings, they must be able to state specific facts that are significant enough to lead to a search. Rumors or anonymous tips that do not include any detail are not reason enough to conduct a search on a student because they are often false and spread to hurt the individual. Though reasonable doubt has specific guidelines, many people, like professor Amy Vorenberg, do not only have issues with its misuse, but also the legality of it in general. In 2012, Vorenberg wrote an article which argued that warrantless searches of student phones violated students’ privacy and could possibly go against the fourth amendment of the US Constitution. The fourth amendment is, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Some people believe that warrantless searches of students’ phones violate the fourth amendment to the US

In this world there is nothing I hate more than a Liar , any person who can sit in my face and tell a fabricated story and deceives with no problem gets zero respect from me. I never understood the point of lying because once a lie is told people have to keep up with it. In order to tell one lie they have to continue to cover the story so at that point they become a liar unless the person comes clean but after that the trust is gone. There is no reason a person should have to say false things because eventually the truth comes out , leaving them looking very stupid and untrustworthy. If everyone was just honest the world would be a much better place. I rather someone hurt me with the truth than comfort me with a lie. Sometimes the truth might ruin everything but if we as humans didn’t do wrong by everyone in our lives that wouldn’t ever be a problem.

While in solitary confinement Kalief didn’t only have to deal with the torture of being trapped in a small room alone, he also endured the guards torture as well. There were times where it would be extremely hot in the solitary confinement cells and Kalief would be mocked by the guards by asking them for ice. Other times, the only food he was allowed was a tray that had already been partially eaten by another inmate. For weeks at a time Kalief would be denied showers until he could smell the stench on himself (Furst). One officer in particular who did this was CO Grenache. On September 23, 2012, Browder was let out of his cell for a shower. Grenache immediately tightened his grip on Browder before slamming him to the ground. The correctional officer proceeded to beat him while Kalief’s hands were handcuffed behind his back. This incident was caught on tape as well (Press TV).

Life is no doubt one of the most mysterious concepts that this universe contains. There are endless clichés about it and I am sure we have heard just about all of them. Throughout my own time on this Earth I know one thing for certain: Life is truly priceless. This is something we all realize more and more as we age and experience the great adventure life has to offer. Observing any child’s behavior could lead you to assume that children take this for granted. Its not that children are ungrateful, they just view the world differently. This unique world view is also where children get their creativity, determination, curiosity, and many other traits that make many adults become nostalgic of their own childhood. However, too many inner city children are being stripped of the opportunity to ever truly express themselves. Drugs, emotional and physical abuse, and crime continue to strip these children of their innocence. These negative influences at the very least are inhibiting them from ever reaching their full potential. Our mission at Inner Self Education is to not only protect children from life-threatening dangers but simultaneously foster growth through the unconditional support of volunteers.

Love or at least some form of it is almost always shown in drama. It may be one of the most important parts of a story. For example, the play Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers who would do anything for each other's love, despite the many problems they face. Other stories also have a great deal on this topic, teaching us how love can pass all barriers. The play Twelfth Night teaches a great deal of what love really is. It teaches us that love can be very complex, unexpected, and that people will do anything to attain it.
