“Conscience is an instinct to pass judgement upon ourselves in accordance with moral laws”. This is the first line Kant says when he speaks of conscience. Kant is known for proclaiming that there is a universal moral law and that all humans, unless there is an inherent problem with an individual’s ability to have a full and proper conscience, are subject to this universal law and cannot be considered innocent if they disobey that conscience. There is another large aspect of society that is known…

The Bill Cosby Saga: More than Meets the Eye The ongoing saga surrounding Bill Cosby has created some interesting dialogue across America and the world; however, I will argue that the discussions and debates that should be sparked by this story are, for the most part, going unaddressed. While I believe that we need to discuss the veracity of the accusations that have been launched against Bill Cosby, and with the latest bit of information that has been released, there is definitely a dark…

early morning paper route. Since then, his mother Noreen Gosch has been trying to find him and have been fighting for justice for her son. She created an organization called “The Johnny Gosch Foundation… to bring awareness of human trafficking and pedophilia to the world…” Unfortunately, until this day, her son has not been found. I also have heard from word of mouth that somewhere in Asia,…

caused by the lack of fact checking because, as you and your team have dubbed it in your article on November 21st, it involved fake news that was baseless in its claims and exploited pictures of children in various odd positions as “proof” that the pedophilia ring existed. It was later proven false in a Snopes article on December 4th that showed how these pictures were manipulated to serve malicious purposes. The damage that resulted was irreversible. In my lectures, the three facets that are to…

Peter Griffin: The Not So Typical Family Guy Pedophilia, mental disabilities, and terrorism are not usually the first thoughts that come to mind when a person contemplate comedy. Despite this fact, they are all subjects I have witnessed the well-known television show Family Guy poke fun at. This show represents a father, Peter Griffin, and his family and all of the ridiculous circumstances they put themselves in. While the majority of people do not find these subjects funny, they still find the…

Sexuality and romantic orientation are extremely complicated and confusing traits, especially so for those who do not fit into the societal norm of heterosexuality. Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye is no exception, constantly flustered when faced with the prospect of sexual situations and trying to stay true to his values in a society where sex is compulsory for entering adulthood. For example, possible implications of past experiences with sexual harassment explain…

In the nonfiction novel In Cold Blood,…

Capote became fascinated with these murders after seeing them in a news paper, so much so that While he was writing his book Capote spent a lot of time getting to know Dick and Perry personally, visiting them in prison and exchanging letters with them. Doing so allowed for him to acquire information about the…

Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita" was a difficult novel to read but nonetheless captivating. Although it was touching an extremely sensitive subject, pedophilia, Nabokov sustained a graceful flow and persuasive tone throughout the novel that at times, almost made me forget he was courting a twelve-year-old orphaned girl. To me, "Lolita" would be best described as an immoral unrequited romance and as a tragedy. A "quest" is what I see the narrator, Humbert, describing throughout the novel. After he…

When we talk about LGBT what image that go through our mind? Some people say that LGBT is something immoral, disgusting and sin that only mindless people would have done. But, some people have different thought about this problem. They think LGBT is an option for each people, so it’s their own decision to choose the path as long as they are not disturbing others. According to Kinsey’s report in 1948 10% of male is gay in this world. The number is quite big, but we can’t assume that someone seems…
