To the ecstatic audience of 1,600 filling the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, the beauty pageant was just a thirty-five dollar show full of attractive women competing for a crown. However, as a representing delegate I can concur that the pageant was more than just glitz and glamour. It was about the drama behind the scenes, the improvisations, the pounds of makeup, the extremely tight and heavy clothing, and the stressed delegates giving it their all. The ultimate goal wasn’t just…

(“Underage Drinking” National Institutes of Health). “Over 300,000 deaths have been prevented as a result of reductions in alcohol-impaired driving, more than the reduction attributed to increases in the use of safety belts, airbags, motorcycle, and bicycle helmets combined” (“Rebecca (Beckie) Brown, 1940-2012”). Death does not only result when drinking and driving, but alcohol unintentional injuries. Researchers found that “1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from…

A key point that I have learned this week is that terrorism can’t happen without the proper funding. Some terrorist groups raise money through employment at their job, while others have fundraisers and take charity donations. Don’t be fooled, most of these charity donations are a scam. Money laundering is one of the most popular ways that terrorist and criminals receive income. The difference is that terrorist will launder money to support their cause for terrorism, and criminals will launder…

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the young prince of Denmark contemplates taking his life. In a soliloquy, he says “How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable/Seem to me all the uses of this world!” (1.2.133-134). Contrary to Hamlet’s situation, many in favor of physician assisted suicide argue that it should be limited to patients suffering from intractable physical pain; however, other advocates of euthanasia, think that an adequate justification for physician assisted death, which exceeds intolerable…

The sun was rising scantily when I got home. My phone read 05:36 a.m., so no one was awake yet. My mother didn't wake up until around 07:00 and my brothers slept until about 12:00. I pulled open my window, slipping into my room silently before collapsing onto my bed. I was exhausted and I fell asleep almost instantly. But, I didn't sleep for long. "Brianna Carver!" My mother yelled as she entered my room. I jumped up in panic to see her standing in front of me with her arms crossed. "Where…

Often times the terms we don’t know who to fault when it comes to limits of legitimate law making. The terms “harm principle” and “legal paternalism” never come to mind when we are seeking these answers. This is remarkably ironic because both of those terms justify laws. In this essay i will go into depth on each term and provide examples of how they justify law and human morality. John Stewart Mill, inadvertently created the term Harm Principle in his essay On Liberty, where he defends…

Argue for or against the normative claim that human rights are universal. The topic of whether human rights are universal, will be critically analysed and debated, in relation to understanding what it means to have rights, cultures and moral perspectives in a multicultural world today.
