Rick Riordan, in his novel “The Lightning Thief”, states that “The real world is where the monsters are.” Monsters don’t need to be extraterrestrial; monsters can be found anywhere and everywhere. A person can be monsterized due to misunderstanding, social isolation, or the extreme desire to be popular.

Since the moment you had your first play date every single boy that has ever been born has always wanted to win or be the best out of what you are doing. This is the competitive instinct that is within everybody but especially in boys and men.

Glucksberg et al. The Case Study Four doctors, three terminally ill patients, and a nonprofit organization called Compassion in Dying, came together to file a suit arguing that prohibiting PAS is against a person’s right to liberty (Illingworth & Parmet, 2006). This became known as the Washington et al. v. Glucksberg et al. case. This case went to the Supreme Court in January of 1997 and by that following June was ruled constitutional to uphold PAS as illegal (Washington et al. v. Glucksberg et al., 1997)
cultural differences between how American society copes with a terminal illness and how Jewish American’s cope. Coping with a terminal illness is not unique to any particular culture. How an individual reacts and prepares for their own inevitable death however is quite different depending on one’s past life experiences, education and religious background.

I believe that what happens after death can be different for everyone depending on what they believe. My personal belief is that there is heaven and hell and that there is life after death. I think that one of the first things that happens when you die is that you get to see your loved ones again that passed before you.
