Network is a dark lampoon focusing on making fun of big television corporations. In the 1970s television was such a booming market that everybody tuned into watch. Network was expressing the fact that nobody had fact in what they were watching. it shows that we watch television and are being fed what you know without doing any personal research. The movie had many truths to it. Yes exaggerated but still accurate. The movie expresses strongly that the writer of the film saw that America was being so fed and so pacified that we aren't able to come to our own conclusions about the world around us and things happening near us. Network goes into detail about how television corporations exploit The viewers and the reporters of a television program, especially news. In the movie Howard Beale declares he will kill himself on the next live broadcast.…

Specifically, those individuals of eighteen years and above will learn to be respectful of authority, improve their abilities in leadership, and have enhanced self-discipline. These traits will be equally useful even after the military service and during their lives ("List Of 12 Key Pros And Cons Of Military Draft"). In this case, discipline and responsibility for them will take on new significance. Young people will become not only responsible for their country, but the world as well. Additionally, serving in the military can subsequently reduce the rate of unemployment. That is because drafted soldiers are taught various practical skills from training in Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for example truck driving and cooking so in further will be able to use them when they return to the civilian…

Obesity is a major epidemic in America. American’s are known for their obsession with food. At church last Sunday, the pastor was preaching on the topic of “fasting”. Fasting would be defined as the abstinence from eating certain or all foods in an effort to rely solely on God for inner strength. The pastor talked about how we as Americans are constantly looking for our next meal. We are always anticipating when and what we are going to eat. We even schedule our entire days around mealtime. Americans are essentially obsessed with food. In an effort to change this aspect of our culture, I have devised a three-part plan.…
Recently, cigarettes have been getting a bad rap. No one seems to understand that the real problem at hand is not the negative effects of smoking cigarettes, but those who abstain from smoking cigarettes. These people are nothing but a nuisance, a lousy bunch of no-gooders that just want to ruin your fun. In fact, smoking cigarettes is an activity that the entire population can benefit from. The world relies on the production and consumption of tobacco, and there are many positives of smoking that outweigh the negatives. For example, smokers dedicate a large portion of their life buying packs upon packs of cigarettes, which in turn gives a huge profit to the country. Surely if you consider yourself a patriot, you would take up smoking cigarettes. These non-smokers are the exact opposite, and will remind you of the risks of cancer and other diseases from smoking; but no one truly wants to live forever, and if you smoke, you won’t have to. You will also most likely notice how unpopular and unattractive these non-smokers are compared to those who smoke. It’s a well known fact that smoking makes people look better, as it gives people a rebellious, non-conformist persona. So, taking everything into account, you should smoke because it increases the wealth of the economy, it helps end an otherwise meaningless life, and you’ll look cool doing it.…
We are in a time of war, just as we have been several times over the short duration of being a great country. This time we are in the Middle east, specifically Iraq, where thousands of young men and women have died defending our beliefs as a nation and protecting the rights of others in a foreign land. But what will happen if the war continues for several more years and we begin losing more and more of our sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, mothers and fathers to death, retirement or discharge? Will there be enough volunteers to take their places? If there are not enough volunteers, our country may have to resort to the draft.…

Homelessness has been an issue of much dispute throughout time, regardless of whether it is in present day Portland, Maine or in the ancient city of Rome, Italy. People have been trying to aid the wanderers for a very long time, but clearly, have never found a good solution to the problem. People are sick and tired of walking out of their door in the morning and finding a vagrant, still reeking of alcohol which they purchased with a good Samaritan’s donation, on their stoop. The people fortunate enough to have a home and a good job should not have to suffer when they walk down the street past hobos begging for a few dollars. It is not fair that the wealthy have to interact with the dregs of society on a daily basis. This problem has to be dealt with. That is why I propose that our society is in much need of the program, Clean Up The Streets (CUTS). The program resolves many different aspects of the issue . If the homeless are sent to landfills to collect cardboard and other material in which they can build their own houses with, this gets them out of sight of the wealthy. In addition to removing the homeless from our lives, it also aids the environment. With this new program, hobos are given a job in which they remove materials from landfills which they can then use to build shelters with. Yearly, Americans throw away 30.9 tons of good food; this will make wasteful people feel as if they are actually helping people when they throw away unappreciated food. This also means that there will be plenty of food for the newly housed and employed people. Also, about $1 billion dollars worth of medicine is thrown out each year, so illness will be quelled as well. The new CUTS program is flawless; it resolves the issues of…
School Dress Codes, one of the most argumentative school topics and also one of the most enforced school policies of all time. Everyone has an opinion about what is too short, what is too long, what is too low, what is too high, what is too tight, and what is too loose. These so called “simple” rules to abide by aren’t so simple.…

Teenagers are expected to know exactly what they want to be and should be able to give good reasons why. Now that I am a teenager, I still don't exactly know what I want to be. Doctors, lawyers, dentists, business managers are all great jobs; however, I don't think my parents or any parents in fact, had ever sat down with their children and ask them "What do you want to be when you grow up?"…
