Law of Attraction

High school is a strange time for everyone. For some it was hard work and doing well in school, but for some it was an opportunity to grow socially. From learning to be comfortable with oneself skin or to experiment with relationships, it was a time of change. For me and most people, this was not the case. It was filled with regret and missed opportunities. I never truly came into terms with what kind of person I was and who I am attracted to. I always had a skewed view on what liking someone…

Chapter’s 6 and 7 of Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions discuss the important topics of Sex, Power, and Intimacy, as well as Reproductive Justice. Although there are many important things discussed in both of these chapters, I feel by far the most relevant topic to my own experiences, is around asexuality. Given my fairly low sex drive, and emphasis on other aspects of relationships (such as shared activities, and companionship), I can identify with some aspects of the asexual community. Besides…

I had a tough time thinking of a double bind I myself have been in on the spot. I’m sure at one time or another I have been in a double bind in my life a nearly everyone has. The closest I could think of I myself potentially putting someone else in a double bind as of recently. I have a particular coworker who I am not very fond of for a multitude of reasons a main one being that he talk incessantly and most often regarding her negative opinions on other coworkers. Although I’m nice to her and…

Aesthetic attraction is more affected by environment and upbringing, what influenced them growing up. Sensual and emotional attraction usually take place in a familial circumstance; children love their parents in a different sense than they love their pets. Emily Smith, freelance journalist for many reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, states “Kindness (along with emotional stability) is the most important predictor of satisfaction and stability in a…

novel could come to a conclusion I had an knack for. "NCIS, Law and Order, and Forensic Files" were a few of the many shows I watched. From novels written by Agatha Christie to James Patterson that captivated my interest. Although slightly inaccurate sources spiced up for their audience. I am positive my attraction to these type of books and shows induced my choice in wanting to be a legalman.…

I perceive myself as diligent, empathetic, and curious. These personal traits of mine have led to my attraction of Philosophy, and by extension, Law. Like many of my peers, I have dreamt of becoming a lawyer for most of my life. I have fixated on becoming a lawyer because to me, the Law is the most effective outlet to positively impact the world. The Law’s intent, structure, and influence (when appropriately used) is without a doubt one of the most beautiful institutions man has created. Through…

Approximately 69% of America’s gay population, about 10.1 million people, wish to get married ("Gay and Lesbian Americans"). Because of restrictions in legislation in current laws, this might not be possible for this large group of US citizens. The sexuality of two people should not affect their marital rights. The government should not be allowed to set proximities for what love is and isn’t; love is a malleable idea that fluctuates in every situation. The officials trusted with the freedoms…

globalization, transnational corporations (“TNCs”) and MNCs have grown in number and in power. A significant portion of modern economic development occurs through TNCs that, in an effort to maximize profit, move to developing countries. Among the attractions to TNCs of such regions are lax environmental regulations and what amounts to tolerance of human rights violations. TNCs have increased the rate of man-made environmental destruction and concomitant harm to humans. Indigenous groups are…

I argue that the vices of men alone cannot be the reason to which critics attribute to the “pathetic state of American civic life.” These vices as decried by social and religious conservatives include abortion culture, the pornography industry, and violence in popular culture. While these contribute to consequences of a vulgarized concept of freedom, it reflects the right to engage in them despite its moral failings. Ferguson focused on these corruptions that may arise out of individual liberty,…
