    In Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild, Christopher McCandless, prior to embarking in his Alaskan Odyssey, writes a letter to his aged friend, Ron Franz, stating his stance on human relationships: “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships … you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this kind of light into your life.” (57) McCandless further explains that the dependence on others to be happy is unnecessary, as one can be perfectly content on his own, once he finds beauty in nature and life experiences. I partially agree with this argument, as I value the balance between self-reliance and human relationships; By spending time alone, I become more appreciative of time spent with others. Last summer,…

    Consumers, workers, farmers, and other suppliers were directly hurt monetarily as a result of the monopolizations. Even more important, perhaps, was that the trusts fanned into renewed flame a traditional U.S. fear and hatred of unchecked power, whether political or economic, and particularly of monopolies that ended or threatened equal opportunity for all businesses. The public demanded legislative action, which prompted Congress, in 1890, to pass the Sherman Act. The act was followed by several other antitrust acts, including the clayton act of 1914 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 12 et seq.), the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 41 et seq.), and the robinson-patman act of 1936 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 13a, 13b, 21a). All of these acts attempt to prohibit anticompetitive practices and prevent unreasonable concentrations of economic power that stifle or weaken competition.…

The very famous Disney movie, Pocahontas, shows lies about the life of Pocahontas that people soon believe as the truth. With using censorship in this movie, Disney builds a dramatized and flawed history of Pocahontas and illustrates a fake reality of who Pocahontas was.…

    The argument that the use of the Mason River for water sports, such as swimming, boating and fishing, will surely increase after the clean up the city park department will perform and, therefore, that more money should be invested in riverside facilities to support these recreational activities is not entirely logically convincing, since it ignores certain crucial assumptions.

By saying that this is their favorite type of recreational activities, people might only mean they enjoy watching them either live or on TV and, consequently, they will not practice them even if better conditions are offered…

    Known by and large as one of the most diverse cities in the world, Amsterdam is often labeled by outsiders as an abnormally tolerant city. This is not necessarily true. From an outsider’s perspective, the evidence to support such a statement undoubtedly exists. With its progressive attitude towards recreational drugs, prostitution, diversity, same-sex marriage, and euthanasia, the Dutch capital has often been the world leader in enacting legislation to legalize or tolerate such things ("Why Is Amsterdam so Tolerant?”). This progressive attitude is often falsely equated to tolerance by many.…
