Sloth

After two unsuccessful books, the narrator is hungry for positive feedback. He has learned that his books do not contain a spark; therefore, this might influence him to twist the truth and add in fake ideas that contribute to the liveliness of a story. This dishonesty is morally wrong; however, it will provide the narrator with success and money. These lines detract from the narrative voice’s credibility because the narrator’s “hunger” proves that he will do anything for a bestseller. The…

Moral Beliefs, almost everyone, or everyone has them. But does everyone have “ethical moral beliefs?” The answer is no, some moral beliefs are twisted and dark. Some people believe certain races, or religions are superior to others, or are inferior to all. Take Adolf Hitler for example, was his morals great?

sins were more awful than others. For instance, large portions of the transgressions spoke to in Dante's Hell reflect the Cardinal sins of rage, covetousness, sloth, pride, desire, jealousy, and intemperance. Dante picked five out of these seven sins to be incorporated into his own particular form of Hell. Level five speaks to rage and sloth, level four speaks to avarice, level two speaks to desire, and level three speaks to ravenousness. These transgressions were seen as the ones to bring about…

Gambling is a dangerous and serious addiction to many people. Some people will take rehab or get special help for gambling addiction, but most of the time it doesn't work. Gambling is just as addicting as a drug and can be as dangerous as a drug too. Did you know 85% of U.S. adults have gambled at least once in their lifetimes (60% in any given year).

Growing up we are susceptible to a multitude of inappropriate visual stimulates located on channels made specifically for our age group. I am now twenty years old, and can still sit in front of the television and feel entertained by these so-called “children” shows. There is crude humor plastered throughout each and every episode even though five year olds are capable of soaking in all of this negative culture, just like a sponge soaks up water. Ironically, the worst of them all has to be…

I am sharing South Africa efforts with the Child Justice Act (CJA) 75 of 2008 to improve juvenile justice policies and its similarities and discrepancies with the international community and the United States. Per Sloth-Nielsen and Gallinetti (2011) South Africa new justice system is a significant advance in children’s human rights. Because of the debate on human rights, especially children,…

tendencies and live without sin. In Steinbeck’s magnum opus, Cathy is a humanoid symbol for predestined immorality and devilish values. She is the embodiment of divine rejection and a representation of the seven cardinal sins: pride, greed, gluttony, sloth, envy, lust, and wrath (Catholic Church 1866). By committing the most mortal sins, Cathy is fated to represent all that we should not be and the worst of God’s fallen humanity. Whether her sociopathic mindset stems from her pride or so…
