knowledge instead of pleasure. Augustine would would say that anyone who views obscene material as immoral because it goes against our god given rights.

Slavery has been a major problem in the United States history. In the year 1619 slaves were thought to be not even human. But when Abraham Lincoln came into office, an uproar was sent across the country. The argument was, "should slaves be allowed in America or not?" The Southern believed that they needed slaves to work on their farms. The Northerners, on the other hand, believed all men were equal and America would be better without slaves. The United States split and the Southerns made a flag…

Secondarily, I’d like to mention that the previous paragraph was a supporting point in the form of a loquacious rant about the condition of today’s young folk who I, might I state, am blessed and cursed to be a part of- with the former being of a higher scarcity than the latter. In school, there are certain expectations that need to be met in order to succeed, and us as a generation are NOT the happiest and most ready to follow…

As the only dissenting opinion in the ruling, Justice Johns Marshall Harlan, he agreed with Plessy that the act was in fact in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment by imposing a badge of servitude. Harlan was an individual who decried the views of the Ku Klux Klan—white supremacy. Harlan went on to note “Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most…

Police should be allowed to stop and frisk subjects who seem suspect. In the case Terry v. Ohio (1968) the Supreme Court’s ruling allowed the procedures of “Stop and Frisk” to be acceptable. For a stop and first to be considered legal, the police officer must have reasonable suspicion that a crime has already occurred or is about to take place. Only then can a police officer start a line of questioning toward the suspect. However, the “frisk” portion of stop and frisk must only be done if the…

horny bourgeois teens” were way out of line. More specifically in the sense that their comments and memes were vulgar as well as offensive and represented, not just themselves, but Harvard as a whole in a negative way. For instance in paragraph 1 she states that the groupchat contained “sexually explicit memes and messages that...targeted minority groups”.

In all except for one case, a three judge federal…
