A young man who was on a quest to find himself decided to do a trek across the United States. When he reached the state of Arizona, he met up with a man in ragged clothes, messy hair and in need of a bath.

... early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear. I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." He accurately describes American's as arriving with nothing but dreams and building Americ ...

... isn't right to cause pain, suffering, and certain death to animals just for our benefit. Many scientists also agree that this experimental procedure was wrong but only because primates have higher intelligence. I don't think it is right for any animal of high or low intelligence, to suffer that way. In other laboratories animals are confined to small cages or locked up so that thay can't move. They are then used to test cosmetics and household chemicals. They have chemicals poured on to their eyes and skin to see if they cause irritation. These experiments would hurt the animals by causing burns and evn blinding them sometimes. I don't think it is right to hol ...

... they get to these questions. I would like to find out how many correct responses they get for each of these stupid ones, but I have a feeling it is not that many. If they do get many correct responses, than when they find the stupid people, they really find the stupid people. Many of them seem totally clueless to their own ignorrance. If , than these people must really be happy. Television is definately not the only place to run into stupid people however. In business class we had an assignment to read and discuss an article titled, "Fatal Attractions". The article discussed the four August deaths of rollercoaster riders. It discussed the reasons for th ...

... that talks about homosexuality is in Genesis chapter 19. This chapter is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. God could not find but one righteous man in the whole city and He destroyed that city because it was full of wickedness and homosexuals. We as Christians have to take a stand against homosexuality before God destroys our country, too. Homosexuality is not the only thing in this country that isn’t Biblical. Abortion is also against Biblical and Godly values. Exodus chapter 20 and verse 13 plainly says “Thou shalt not kill.” Abortion is killing a baby. It is taking a life. This country really is in bad shape. Exodus 20:14 says “Thou shalt not commit adul ...

... fantasy or exposure that resulted in the fetish but he later changed the view. Freud later theorized that the fetish was a fear of castration on the part of the male. He believed that the association with the penis to the female reproductive organ was a reminder to men that castration is possible. This anxiety would cause the fetishist to associate his or her sexual desire with another body part or object. By doing this he or she can link sexual experience with another part and forget about infertility, humiliation, or anxiety. Usually the desire is linked closely to the genitals, it could be something seen when the genitals were first viewed, such as, un ...

... often stop taking science classes. "Young women may feel unwelcome in science classes for a number of reasons: examples and applications are most often masculine, interactions sanction male dominance, science content appears to have no connection to women's experience, and competition is emphasized over collaboration (Taylor and Sweetnam). So what do the teachers who positively influence young women do that is so different it completely changes women's view about science? In a study of eighty women who became science teachers, they were asked about the teachers they remember and the most influential reasons those teachers made a difference. The three main respon ...

... going. You are going to have to have three important things to make it work though. Those things are trust, communication and patience. First and the most important, you and your boyfriend need to have trust in each other. In every relationship there has to be trust, but for some reason, in long-distance relationships, it seems like there has to be just a little something more. Since you two are so far apart, you have to trust that the other one only wants to be with you and no one else. What I would always do, when I didn't know if I should do something that might be bad for our relationship, is I would put myself on the other end of the situation. I wou ...
