    As I read the article, “A Gay Referee Tries to Find His Place in Hockey” by Jason Buckland, it became obvious that the sport that I love so much needs to change. I had no idea that there wasn’t a single gay person in or even associated with the NHL. The NBA and the NFL have already welcomed their first gay players so why can’t the NHL? I’ve been playing hockey for the past 12 years and have often ignored the homophobic language because trash talk is so ingrained in hockey’s culture. Go on Youtube and search, “NHL Chirps” and you’ll see what I mean.…

The research that Dr. Gawande conducts to become better at conveying the news of death to his patients can assist him and other doctors in their struggle. There is always a chance that a patient could be the one, the breakthrough. This makes it even more difficult to know when it is taking too much out of the patient to continue treatment because there is that…

    The model that best fits Bayard's move is Frankfurt's volitional model. Every philosopher reviewed made strong arguments on how to be an autonomous person, and no one idea fails to represent Bayard's action in some way. Frankfurt's and Hume's views were that to be a free person, you must let your dispositions have the last word in decisions. Socrates, Plato and Kant say that reason should have the last word to be an autonomous person. Frankfurt's views excel those of the other philosophers because Bayard's move was through his volitions.…

Cancer is a disease caused by non-stop division of cells and it can happen almost anywhere in the human body.
