In this paper I will explain and critique an argument known as Pascal’s Wager. I will explain the wager Blaise Pascal proposed to incline atheist and agnostics to believe in God. The Wager, “is not a proof of Gods existence” (Furman). I will give Pascal’s reasoning for explaining why choosing to believe in God is the best decision one could make. Pascal’s Wager is an argument given to atheist and agnostics to show them why believing in God’s existence is the right choice. This argument isn't…

In 1996 the Federal Marketing Order was established to regulate the amount of tart cherries being sold by producers in the United States. The intent of the order was to keep supply of the fruit in line with demand and therefore increase the price to the growers of tart cherries. Sadly, this is not what happened. The Federal Marketing Order implemented by the CIAB (Cherry Industry Administrative Board) under direction of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) should be abolished…

In his article, “Decriminalizing Drugs Would Not Prevent Prescription Drug Abuse,” William J. Bennett argues that the legalization of drugs would not prevent people from misusing or abusing a drug. He brings up the death of Whitney Houston, including other celebrities, and how “legalizing drugs and making them more readily available would not have saved her life.” He believes that legalization will actually accelerate the misuse and abuse of drugs. Bennett uses Portugal as an example of what…

The APRN must also obtain education regarding the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS).

The APRN should obtain an OARRS report on a patient when red flags occur, such as forging or altering a prescription; known history of chemical abuse or…

I believe that the judicial process has its pros and cons. There are several ways in which the judicial process can be improved. I specifically believe the criminal justice system should be improved and the penalties for crimes should be more balanced, and logical. Today, our corrections systems have their flaws. I am currently employed as a Detention Deputy, and I often see people who are incarcerated that have severe mental disorders. Instead, of these individuals getting the proper mental…

Besides the chickens, we have several other additions to the family— two calves, a colt, and a penful of funny little pigs. You would be amused to see me hold a squealing pig in my arms, while Helen feels it al over, and asks countless questions—questions not easy to answer either. After seeing the chicken come out of the egg, she asked: "Did baby pig grow in egg? Where are many shells?" Helen's head measures twenty and one-half inches, and mine measures twenty-one and one-half inches. You see,…

means “to conceal” and her father was Atlas, the titan who held up the sky. She lived on the island Ogygia, in which she was placed a prisoner for helping her father during the battle of Olympians and Titans.
