“We are the good guys, we are carrying the fire.” Said the man to his son in one of my favorite books; The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. This post apocalyptic novel tells a tale of a father and his child wandering a road trying to survive in a desolate world. I value this piece of literature above most fictitious books because McCarthy shows that morality is not socially constructed, but rather is within each person and it’s humanity 's duty to make sure the flame never goes out. McCarthy’s…
faith and respect in him. This attention he gained from the society made him conceal his sin instead of admitting it which makes him a hypocrite (Foster, 2013). Dimmesdale’s decision of not making his love affair public though he loves Hester and expounding her is hypocritical. Further, Chillingworth who uses his knowledge and skills of a physician to mistreat the health of Dimmesdale is a hypocritical act. He even doesn’t reveal that he and Hester was married and retaining the identity of a…

After an anonymous author accused him of subverting an essential part of Mosaic Law, Mendelssohn wrote Jerusalem, oder über religiöse Macht und Judentum (1783; “Jerusalem, or on Religious Power and Judaism”). This work held that force might be used by the state to control actions only; thoughts are inviolable by both church and…
Senator John Danforth to present the Patient Self-Determination Act, the first legislation outlining uniform advance directives (Contemporary World Issues). The Patient Self-Determination Act or PSDA for short, was a critical move on the road to expounding the duties of the physician, patient, family, and healthcare facilities.

prohibition failed in Canada requires a complex response. A multitude of factors contributed to the unraveling on this attempt at legislating morality. Some of the major ideological flaws within prohibition included a lack of overall disrespect for the new laws created by the movement, legislative acts that were not functionally sound, the fact that prohibition had gained significant support as a wartime measure, along with a public that continued to explicitly agree with temperance while being…
Copycat Crimes Why this level of violence continues to happen on college campuses, in opposite to other places is obvious. This type of shooting creates media frenzy and as I stated earlier media notoriety. The considerable media exposure creates a media blitz for those who want to make a statement by murdering their fellow students. This is clearly a copycat crime and unfortunately, some sicko may want to up the body count to beat the record. According to Surette, (2015) “Waves of fads…
