The Innocents Abroad

September 11, 2001 was devastating to hear for almost all of Americans. It was so saddening to see how thousands of our brothers and sisters died in a horrible accident that occurred inside the pentagon, twin towers, and also the plane of flights 93 and flight 77. Many people believe many different conspiracies and no one knows for sure what the actual truth is. 9/11 has marked a spot in our lives forever and will never be forgotten. It shows that our country can come back from anything. It is a…

An innocent, four-year-old girl suffers daily seizures. Her parents look on, experiencing her pain vicariously, powerless. An old man lays in hospital, terminal, his final days are agony. The tragedy: both situations, apparently, are preventable, if only medicinal cannabis was legal. These are familiar stories. These stories distinguish medicinal cannabis coverage from being yet another abstract, recurring news item, instead transforming it into a confronting, humanised issue. They tick all the…

Some of the scandals that have shown that executive powers in the fight against terrorism can be abused include secret prisons abroad, communication interception and detainee abuse. Public mistrust that the fight against terrorism may be costing their civil liberties is justifiable when the government eavesdrops on their private conversations. The fourth amendment of the constitution…

Roy is Gabriel’s favorite child, as he begins to pamper him when Gabriel gets home. Gabriel turns to Elizabeth and begins to blame her for this mess, but later turns on John. Before Gabriel can do anything to John, Elizabeth steps in to defend the innocent child. She blames Gabriel for spoiling Gabriel and making him disobedient, and Gabriel then turns to her with a face of, “hatred so deep as to become insupportable in its lack of personality”, which ends up scaring Elizabeth (Baldwin 480).…

this issue does not make it easy to resolve the problem. In the last few years the matter of human trafficking for the sex industry in particular has been receiving extensive coverage in the press and has often been presented as women being the “innocent victims of predatory crooks” . In consequence, the recent hight profile given by the media to cases of sex-trade seems to be reflected in the national and international response to this problem from governmental and non-governmental…

Currently, I work as a researcher and policy planner for Presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders. My job is informing him on the brief historical chronology leading to present day extremism, providing him with clear advice for how to differentiate between groups and their perspectives, supply him with points that he can use in a debate to refute some of the fear and hate-mongering statements made by others, as well as give him effective suggestions for how to confront Global Jihadism in ways…

Jane Austen satirizes Gothic novels of her day through burlesque and realism to advocate the superiority of ordinary life to fantasy in Northanger Abbey. The novel mocks the unrealistic and impossible sappiness of romance novels. In contrast, the novel is a true reflection of life and explores the truth of late eighteenth century English high society. The reader triumphs in the relatability of Catherine’s character as a new type of heroine, hat is ordinary and realistic. Austen ascertains that…

Is the FSB really stronger and more repressive than the Soviet secret police force that had over 400,000 officers, agents, and guards and sent millions of innocent Soviet citizens to the GULAG, supported international terrorism, and forced Solzhenitsyn into exile because his writings were considered politically dangers? Some key questions to consider are: To what degree are the Russian security services (FSB…

Violence has become one of the most occurring social problems that Americans face in society. It is a frightening topic within itself, and there is always talk about ending or lessening it, but somehow it never seems to stop. Violence is one of the significant contributors to deaths that occur in the United States each year. Robert Kennedy once asked, "What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created?". He goes on to describe the cowardly actions represented by a sniper sitting…

In the 1990, the Middle East and the whole World changed. On August 2, Iraq invaded Kuwait and began the brutal occupation. Iraq was not the only country affected. The invasion created a global conflict, which lasts to this day. Many people thought that wars are a thing of the past and there is no place for them in the modern society of the 20th society. Were those war necessary? Would the Middle East would resolve their problems on their own, without the interference from the United…
