An opposing view would argue that it is necessary to take into consideration the situation of each criminal case before deciding on the punishment. They would also claim that children specifically, should be given another chance due to their lack of maturity.…

It was fascinating to read of how quickly these locutarios went from being innocent visiting centers, to formal meeting areas that conduct business that takes place in the secular world. Through the nuns implementation of the credit system to maintain and add on to their economic prosperity, they in a sense lost the purity they originally had when they cut themselves off from material concerns and found solace in the confines of…

    In the 2002 Neil Noesen case, a woman in Wisconsin went to fill her prescription at a local K-Mart, only to be refused by the only pharmacist on duty at the time, Neil Noesen, because the aforementioned pharmacist was a strict Roman Catholic, and it would be against his principles to give someone contraceptives.

The sanctuary inside is just as plain, aside from fourteen imposing murals created by the chapel’s namesake, Mark Rothko. They adorn bare walls, constantly shifting appearance with the light cast from the chapel’s skylight (Dowell). They seem to be the only lively aspects of an otherwise static place.…

In modern society many issues have arisen between those who make claim to an area that they considered sacred and those who disagree with this distinction.…
