She states that there is no problem with gay marriage and it's all a matter of separating the church and state. But in “Gay ‘Marriage’: Societal Suicide,” by Charles Colson, the author opposes the idea of gay marriage and states that it will destroy society. Marriage is intended to unite a man and a woman together to bring children into the world, but due to the same-sex
the truth of our lives have been muddled into this really vague truth: whatever works is OK; as long as you harm no one, what you do is OK; if you obey the law, whatever you do within it is OK; that as long as you are conventional, as long as you obey what people say today, your amorality, your insincerity, your plain stoic unfeelingness is OK. But the simple truth is that this thinking is not OK. In a sense, we have created a new Sodom in this world. You think that in Sodom, rape was illegal? You
First Amendment. We, as Americans, have the right to Freedom of Speech. Censorship blocks that by blocking anything some may find offensive. It’s not fair because they’re blocking out how people feel/think just because someone found it “offensive” or wrong. It completely contradicts the First Amendment. People have the right to know about the world and what’s happening. Keeping the citizens curious makes them just find a way to find the answer the wrong way. For example, on the news, they keep the
birth, death, and how they seek food, water, and shelter. As humans we create our own world, emotions, events, and we are control in our everyday life. Every culture has a different way they view things, and that’s simply because of the way they were raised and brought into this world. Different cultures outlook on death can be completely opposite.

major causes of the burning of books in 451 and how people in the society start depending on technology to survive. The second is violence, violence has played so much role in 451 and yet the society was clueless about what’s going on, the government who is to protect and serve are the who hurt and destroy. The society presented in Fahrenheit 451 is obsessed with the use of technology. In Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury has two keen pieces of technology, the television, and the seashells, not only these
Introduction: In this project I am asked to reflect on what ethics means to me. Not only in my personal life but also in a work setting, and in our society. During our reflection I am asked to give multiple personal examples to support my meaning of ethics. Lastly I will connect the three questions together with a conclusion that I hope will help a reader understand the subject of ethics. Personal: Ethics to me is a value system that each individual upholds due to their own conscience. I believe
seems like not many people care. We say that we care and that it’s a horrible thing to do, but we don’t do anything to try to stop it. We don’t put ourselves out there and say, “I’m against teen suicide, I’m going to donate to research,” or something of the sorts. We say this about cancer, AIDS, and many other diseases, why not suicide? I, myself, have a personal experience in this matter. Some of my friends, and even I, have thought about or have attempted this. It’s traumatizing to all associates
is well presented in this movie. It is also worth of mentioning that media is controling what kind of opinions will society have about politics and politicians in general. Since politicians are one who control media, and media controls society we can see a conclusion where politicians are the one that create whatever image they want to have about them selves. Protagonist? Challenge? Goal? Well it is more than obviouse that Jefferson Smith is the leading character in this movie. As I mentioned
"Holy" and everything in it the truth. King says his statements openly: "If I lived in a communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws." He doesn't fear his punishment because he knows what's the truth and what's not. Almost everyone has read the Bible or knows at least of the stories in it, and his audience is a audience of preachers who value the Bible as a sacred piece of material
definite – definition of a concept/object. This came to be known as Euthyphro’s Dilemma. This argument can be clarified as follows; “what is dear to the gods is pious, and what is not is impious”: if an object is God-love, than the object must be loved by all Gods; therefore, pious objects are those that are necessarily loved by all Gods.
