Hobbes or Locke? Wouldn’t you agree that a person’s way of being is influenced by the things they’ve gone through? I believe we all have one thing in common, we’re all naturally moral and reasonable, rather than selfish and greedy at the core.

The death penalty is a very controversial subject in today’s culture and being a criminal justice major; this topic has a lot of interest to me. If I had to classify myself in a group that dealt with capital punishment, I would consider myself a retentionist. I am all for punishing the guilty and giving murders the punishment they deserve.

The first documented American serial killer dates back to the eighteen hundreds, or more specifically eighteen ninety-three, in Chicago, Illinois.…

Love is hopeless. Love is fruitless. Love is good. Love is stupid. Love is kind. Love is biblical. Love is spiritual. Love confuses me. Love is scary. Love can be described as nothing besides love. Love is always in the air, that’s why there are so many b***** children such as the demon, elf child Pearl in the Scarlet Letter. Teenage love is especially terrifying, due to its unpredictability.
