The vulgar and refreshing paraphrase of a simplified hippy version of what shall be taken as topic: We are so oppressed. Maybe we are not repressed, but come on. We are so oppressed. Malcolm X knew it, Catharine MacKinnon knew it. Everyone knows it. One way we are oppressed is sexually. We might not just be repressed, while we still clearly are because there are laws and things. But, come on. Even if sexuality is socially constructed, it’s still very material, it is out there as much as anything
Country: Sudan Committee: United Nations Disarmament Commission (UNDC) Topic Area A: Illicit arms trade The unregulated and uncontrolled trade of small and light weapons is a persisting problem all around the world. This trade creates chaos and encourages violence everywhere. Small arms are easy to obtain. They're light, easy to handle, and they are rather cheap too.

College education has always been seen as a gateway to making more money and living a better life. Going to college was seen as the next step that any ambitious American must take in order to make something of themselves and make their parents proud. Teachers fill their student’s heads with propaganda by telling them the only way to achieve their goal is through a proper education and with that, there is nothing they cannot do; however that is no longer the case. College takes years of diligent
Yes and No After coming to America, I have suffered from the improper usage of "yes" and "no." I sometimes confuse an affirmative response with a negative one because the usage of "yes" and "no" in Korean is different from English. For example, if I am asked, "Haven't you had dinner yet?" and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say, "Yes, I haven't." But in English, I have to say, "No, I haven't." This different usage of "yes" and "no" in Korean and in English sometimes causes
Breastfeeding - yes or no? - If the mother's breast is the theater of war Hardly a topic has so much explosive as the Breastfeeding Discus-sion: Breastfeeding - yes or no? How long? What position? Or maybe the vial? No matter how we twist and turn, it always comes down to one thing - and that is the diet of the babies. While some swear on breastfeeding, others prefer the vial. Until the 19th century breastfeeding was for granted, either by the mother or by a fostress. With industrialization the
The world today is filled up to the brim with unsolved,divisive and controversial issues.Mostly they are related to ethics or morals and sometimes even religons. As a result this creates a very strong "yes" or "no"and thus a good and bad side.Just like the chinese Yin and Yang signs, there are two sides of the same coin when it comes to abortion.Therefore it is proved that even if we come to any kind of conlcusion there would be a downside and that's because the whole world cannot agree upon such
Well formed XML needs an additional step in order to properly validate the structure and vocabulary of the document. One method of this validation is using and XML schema, also known as the XML Schema Definition (XSD). (Barnette et al., 2004) Does this format for validation use the best structural methods to express vocabulary and properties in XML markup or could other options such as the DTD specification have provided similar benefits. The XSD structure and components should be discussed in
As a human being, you should always try to do what is the best for your loved ones. Vaccines and immunizations can actually save the life of your child. Vaccinations can protect your child from diseases and sicknesses. An example of life-saving vaccinations is the Polio vaccine. Polio was once America’s most feared diseases, but because the vaccination causes immunity, Polio is not feared anymore because vaccinations have eliminated cases of Polio. Vaccination is also a safe way of treatment and
I read "She Said Yes" by Misty Bernall. The publishing company is The Plough Publishing House, and it is 140 pages long. Cassie Bernall, a 17 year old junior at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, was a typical teen having a typical day, when two rampaging classmates put a gun to her head and asked her if she believed in god. She said yes. Its a story of growing up in the 90’s, of peer pressure, adolescents, turmoil, and the role parents play; a story of tough choices and the battle between
It is the ability to conceptualize the nature of the world around us and our place in it. People with this intelligence commonly study philosophy and psychology to try and tackle the deeper questions of existence. In the poem “The People, Yes,” one of the main two characters, the red man, shows signs of possessing existential intelligence. In the poem, the other character, the white man, draws a small circle in the sand to represent the red man’s peoples’ level of intelligence. He then proceeds

Television Show Yes Minister The British comedy Yes Minister is a brilliant satire in which the characters are creatively manipulated to form a humorous program. It deals with the wheeling and dealing of political life behind the scenes and attempts to expose its true nature. Although the series is set within the British political scene, it deals with political games and clashes between politicians and the civil service that could be found almost anywhere in the world. Yes Minister started
"Say Yes" by Tobias Wolff tells the story about a couple disputing over the ethicalness of the white Americans and African Americans that were marrying each other. In this portrayal of the white American husband's and wife's views of African American people, it is apparent that the Civil Rights Movement was able to persuaded masses of white Americans to provide more freedoms to African Americans, even though some white people remained unaffected. In "Say Yes," Tobias Wolff's representation of the
It is very important to study and analyze movies for more than just as mere entertainment. The film Chicago directed by Rob Marshall and also the film Yes Man directed by Peyton Reed both are excellent examples as to why we should be viewing movies/films as much more than just mere entertainment, but as a work of art. In today’s world, too many people are watching movies essentially only for entertainment purposes. It is frustrating to think that people are overlooking so many underlying meanings/messages
