I think the Dark Arts should be illegal with the exception of Aurors but only when they need to use it. I think this because the Dark Arts is magic used to cause harm; no one should be using this magic for everyday purposes or at all. Why would anyone need to cause harm to someone? Aurors will need to use the Dark Arts if the witch/wizard they are trying to catch is not cooperating or if any of the witches/wizards use the Dark Arts against them. However, Aurors should try and keep this as a last resort to minimize the amount of casualties. Moreover, the use of Dark Arts has a bad effect on anyone who uses them which is another reason to make them illegal. The Dark Arts has an effect on the soul and every time it is used, the soul rips apart.
Throughout the late 17th century and into the early 18th century witchcraft prosecutions had been declining. This trend was the result of a multitude of social developments which altered the mentality of society. One of the predominant factors in this decline was the Scientific Revolution, the most important effect of these advances was making society question concepts of witchcraft. Along with this new mental outlook, we see that the Reformation had a similar effect on social opinion concerning witchcraft and magic. These two developments changed societies view on the occult and this led to a wider scepticism concerning witchcraft, this favoured those who had been accused and therefore caused a decline in prosecutions. Beyond the two trends mentioned however, it is important to consider judicial reforms and an improved socio-economic situation which reduced tensions within society. These two changes were certainly not as influential as the Scientific Revolution and the Reformation but heavily altered the circumstances in which accusations were normally made. With the altered social attitudes and mental outlook these changes in living situations all contributed to bring about the decline in witchcraft prosecutions.
In Western culture magic has been traditionally viewed negatively. The word often conjures up images of witches, spells, cults, and dark rituals. As Malidoma displays, in Dagara culture, along with most traditional African culture, magic is viewed positively and is at the core of religion.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is not God's work to kill. It is not God's work to coerce innocent Christians into admitting a connection with the devil when none so obviously exists! "Thou shalt not kill," is but one of the ten fundamental commandments legislated by the Lord himself in the Bible. Any true Christian would recognise the brutality of these witchcraft hangings as simply a blatant disregard for the Holy Bible itself. Has it not occurred to the officials of the court that those that have confessed have only done so out of the fear of hangin' for telling the truth? Aye, Goody Good and ...
Fine arts gives students a chance to pour their hearts into something beautiful; a chance to be a part of something that is bigger than just themselves. Some schools are facing financial troubles with the current economy, and one of the first programs they consider cutting is fine arts. The removal of fine arts programs would be absolutely devastating to countless members of the community. Many students would lose their favorite class, in some cases the one class that helps them get through the day, and many teachers that truly care fir the students would lose their dream jobs. Fine arts should not be cut from schools; they build confidence, help with the application of other academic concepts, and even help to prepare students for their future work in the business world.
... were to be legalized, there would likely be many protests by religious groups and others who believe that any kind of killing is wrong. Many religions feel that only God should decide when and how a person is to die, so would likely take great offense to its legalization.
The Dark Ages got its name because little was known about the time before The Renaissance. Historians today only call it Dark Ages because information about it is still very limited. During 1883, the American Cyclopedia called the Dark Ages a time where everyone was intellectual and barbaric. In fact, they considered the people during the time to have the worst “intellectual depression” in European history. It represents how they originally thought the Dark Ages were like instead of the new meaning. Modern studies have now shown that there was a lot going on in the Arts and literature.
School shootings have altered American history greatly over the past two decades. From 1997 to 2007, there have been more than 40 school shootings, resulting in over 70 deaths and many more injuries. School shoot-outs have been increasing in number dramatically in the past 20 years. There are no boundaries as to how old the child would be, or how many people they may kill or injure. At Mount Morris Township, Michigan, on February 29th, 2000, there was a 6 year old boy who shot and killed another 6 year old girl at the Buell Elementary School with a .32 caliber pistol. And although many shootings have occurred at High Schools or Middle Schools, having more guns on those campuses would not be a good environment for children to grow up in. However, on a college campus, the pupils attending are not children anymore; the age range is from 17 to mid 20’s. Therefore they understand the consequences associated to the use of weapons and have gained more maturity. In April 16th, 2007, at Blacksburg, Virginia, there was a shooting rampage enacted by Sung-Hui Cho (23 years, from Centreville, VA) who fired over 170 rounds, killing 32 victims, before taking his own life at the Virginia Tech campus. Colleges and Universities would be a much safer place, for student and teacher, if guns were permitted on campus for self-defense purposes.
The number one reason marijuana is illegal today is because of economics. Pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars every year by treating medical conditions that could be treated naturally. People today have medicine cabinets that are completely full with medication that treats problems from headaches to anxiety and depression. The problem with this is that some medications do not react well with one another. You can have fatal results with mixing medication which is why you are told to consult your doctor before use. Some products even state the possible side effects which seem so horrible that you wouldn't want to risk it. The problem is mostly due to how huge these pharmaceutical companies have become, they can't come to terms that marijuana could eliminate the need for a large amount of medication being used today.
When we were growing up, most are told that, “Drugs are unhealthy for you”, time and time once more. I used to be told by my oldsters that medicine are risky for health once I was kid. However as I got older realized that folks would still use medicine although it's ineligible. I might ne'er perceive that why some individuals are going against law and jeopardize their life simply to use drugs? The drug that I’m about to refer is marijuana, and astonishingly it's all around United States. Marijuana is referred by today’s media thought media sources that folks fancy, like music, movies, and television shows, don't even trouble to go away the drug out of their system. I’m wondering that why marijuana is illegal? The controversy...
Keeping Marijuana illegal is the best choose to keep people healthy mentally and physically and keep the community clean from crimes because marijuana is one of the reasons that people can’t control their action. It can cause a lot of health and mental problems or you might get in an accident and cause other people and yourself serious injuries. Marijuana is a dangerous drug for the human and also the community.
Through out time many people have viewed witches as bad people. Even in religion witches are viewed as workers of Satan himself. “A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them” Leviticus 20:27 King James Bible. Throughout our world’s history there have been thousands if not millions of witch hunt cases around the world. During the Bubonic Plague people blamed witches for what was going on. Then in the early years of the Dark Ages people where convinced of these so called witches and other mythological creatures. At first people where scared to go outside at night because they thought that the witches, would get them. However, when people began to learn how to read, they realized that witchcraft was against what the bible says. So this led to even more people being accused of being a witch. During the colonial era when the European countries where colonizing the world, England was a breeding ground for witch hunts. The religious persecution of small Christian groups in England led to the Puritans leaving the country. Arriving in the 13 colonies, here one of the worst witch trials in American history took place in Salem Massachusetts. These are known as the Salem Witch Trials, in which over 100 people were blamed for witchcraft and almost all of them were killed. These trials were not alone though, many others countries have their own versions of the Salem trials. However, in today’s time these so called witch hunts are not common in countries like the US, and there are laws that prevent actual witch hunts from happening. There are still countries that have witch hunts within their borders ba...
Some of the main reason why marijuana should not be legalized is because of the mental and health problems. Dr. Robert DuPont, who is a national leader in marijuana prohibition, drug policy and treatment, said “It's interesting, because at the time I knew marijuana was not good. And I always spoke about the health hazards of marijuana. I never said it was benign in the sense that it was safe. But I would balance that health message with a message that says we don't want to use the criminal law to try to solve a public health problem”(drug war). Another reason of why we should not legalize it is because of the addiction that comes from smoking the drug. Therefore, marijuana should never ...
Should be ban them? Yes, because they are terrible and they hurt people and No, because if you don’t have a way to protect yourself what is going to happen to you? Should we allow only certain people to have them? Yes, the law enforcement on your campus is there for a reason but there is a question that arises with that too. What if they get there too late? These are not as simple as people like to assume they are, there are many sides to this. Too many if you ask any regular person, but these are what the law makers have to go through. Did they take the school shooting too lightly when deciding this or did they just use enough to help elevate
Witchcraft is the use of these forces for negative ends, to extort evil, and magic asks for positive ends. Witchcraft has been found to exist in all corners of the globe at some point. It is no coincidence that during the Enlightenment, witch hunts in Europe and North America became common. The aim was to rid society of these people regarded as unreasonable and dangerous. By contrast self-proclaimed witches still have a function in some societies today, mainly in the developing world. Magic however is often a word used to describe certai...
Legalizing recreational drugs does not mean making drugs accesible to all people. The drugs that are legal today, alcohol and tobacco (nicotene) aren’t available to just everyone; they are regulated. Only certain people are allowed to buy them. Since the drug trade is unregulated, drugs are sold anywhere they can be (e.g. schools), allowing children to have access to them. If these drugs were illegal, than that trade would stagnate, and children wouldn’t have such easy access to them. It makes sense… do you ever see people in schools selling beer or cigarrettes? Also, the usual cause of drug overdose is the fact that a person cannot know the potency of the drug he/she is taking. There are no standards because the trade of drugs is illegal in the first place. If they were legal, there would be a standard of quality for all drugs, regulated by the FDA.
