    Argument found in 13th: Government and corporations purposely try to detain all colored people by scripting laws in their favor. This should not be allowed as the land of the free is taking away everything free by enslaving the colored people by sentencing colored people to prison. Agree: ALEC is funded by major companies which makes them money by making foolish laws that benefit the whites and rich but also benefit ALEC because they get paid off of punishment towards prisoners. A company should not be playing with laws to benefit money as it is not fair to allow people get away with murder like the Zimmerman-Martin case. Disagree: ALEC does not make certain laws to attack colored people but instead make laws that help the economy and citizens during the time.…

    Horse slaughter is a large problem in the United States. There are no slaughterhouses in our country, but horses can still legally be sold at auction to a slaughterhouse in another country. Once sold to a slaughterhouse, the terrified horses are transported just across the border to be inhumanely killed. Why would an American want to send their horse to be killed in a different country when they can humanely and safely euthanize or sell them to a loving home? Many foreign countries eat horse meat, but this can be very dangerous.…

    Four Noble Truths The Buddhist religion is far different from typical Christianity or Catholicism. Followers of Buddhism do not follow a specific god, but they tend to follow more of what they call teachings or the ultimate teacher (Vaughn 109). More often than not followers also have to set their own path down the road of Buddhism making all their own personal changes to direct their life around what the spiritual Buddhists believe is essential for obtaining a special heavenly estate called nirvana (Vaughn 111). Buddhism teaches that there are four noble truths about reality and how your life should be lived and if followed even if one does not profess to be Buddhist, these would make an individual a good and more peaceful person. The central theme of the Four Noble Truths is “the suffering.”…

    Many people have the misconception, especially in the Western worldview, that spiritual or religious life is somewhere in the sky or obtained by a god. We often believe that we have to give sacrifices and forget about our daily lives, venerating that god. But, Buddhism is so different from other religions that people sometimes question whether it is a religion or not. Buddhism is non-theistic, they think that believing in a god will not help you find the enlightenment we tend to seek. Instead of believing and memorizing doctrines, we learn the truth about ourselves.…
