What is the best solution to a more successful future? This question is in the minds of many students and parents. In my opinion, I think that attending a public school is a better solution than attending a private school. This choice is affected greatly by the overall performance, capabilities of the student and the financial budget of the parent. There are advantages and disadvantages of both private and public schools.…
The Vietnam War was the only war that The United States lost. It was a war that caused a lot of arguments within the country. Many people did not agree with this war because it did not have a set purpose. When the soldiers of this war got home, they were not cheered and thanked, they were trashed. Dodging the draft is harder than staying in is therefore I would not dodge the draft.…
A very common debatable topic is text-messaging. Or more specifically the use of text-speak, otherwise referred to as “textese.” David Crystal and John Humphrys have both written articles on text-speak. Both of the articles mention the texting; history, effects, usage and etc.…
Many people feel that Tecumseh Dinning Center is a good place to eat, but there are also some people that disagree. Tecumseh Dinning center has many food selections. The problem is that they offer the same greasy, nasty food every day. The solution if they would change up the food selection every once in while it would make it better. When asking many people about the Tecumseh Dinning Center the comments are that there is good food.…
America will not overcome. Not without first excepting the fact that it’s not as free as it’s slogan reads. It’s easy to want to dismiss the past as the past and claim that all it is is history but that does not excuse the fact that racism is alive and well in America today.…
Olaf’s self – esteem was decimated by a plague of insecurities upon meeting Jim. “He felt as though this man had come here expressly to remind him how puny, how tiny, and how weak, and how white he was” (Page 209). Olaf indignantly perceives that he is being regarded as inferior when his help has been refused and Jim insists he can carry his own bag. “He thinks I’m nothing…” (Page 210).…
The prices of college tuition have increased yearly, and not much of an effort is put forth to try to lower the costs. For example, colleges in the state of Pennsylvania have a high tuition. Moravian College’s tuition is about $32,931, and after receipt of grants and scholarships for one year it will be $22,900. East Stroudsburg University’s tuition is about $6,240, and after receipt of grants and scholarships for one year it will be $12,500. I can barely afford Community College, and I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to afford any of these colleges or universities either. In this essay, I will explain through facts and opinions, why the cost of college tuition should be lowered.…
In America there are so many people who live without healthcare. President Obama has tried hard to change that known fact by introducing and passing his new Obama Care Act. It is very important for people to have proper healthcare coverage, medical care, affordable medications, and for all healthcare services to be available to everyone, whether they are poor, middle class or rich. For most Americans, high quality care generally is readily accessible without long waits but at high cost. However, the uninsured and, increasingly, the underinsured, the poor, and members of underserved minorities often have poor access to health care and poor health outcomes. The health workforce is well trained, yet the United States faces a severe shortage of primary care physicians. Approximately 45% of the U.S. population has a chronic medical condition, and about 60 million people, half of these, have multiple chronic conditions; the CDC estimated these numbers during a recent survey.…
As of November 20, 2014, same –sex marriage has been legalized in 35 out of 50 U.S. states. Same-sex marriage is a hot topic which the Supreme Court is considering to legalize. Many people say a homosexual person is a sinner. The question is do homosexual people choose his or her gender? They were born that way and they are happy with their lives. Homosexual people are nothing unlike heterosexual people. They are living, they are working, and they contribute to society. Proponents state that same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples and that prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. On the other side, opponents argue that altering the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman will further weaken a threatened institution and that legalizing gay marriage is a slippery downhill way that may lead to polygamous and interspecies marriages (gaymarriage.procon.org). All people in the world should understand the meaning of marriage, whether a same-sex marriage or a traditional marriage. For that reason, same-sex marriage should be considered as a legal marriage because it is an equal right for humankind and beneficial for society as well as preventing youth suicide.…
Driving requires a lot of concentration in order to keep the road, and ourselves safe. Nowadays, many people have a license without being able to drive in a manner that is responsible. This raises the question of cell phones. There are many factors that contribute to accidents. Eating, drinking, reaching for fallen objects and talking to passengers are also some other elements that takes the drivers attention away from the road. Cell phones are not an exception, but they can also be very useful. However, they too present a danger for everyone, therefore, I agree that their use should be prohibited while driving.…
The recreational use of Marijuana should be legalized. According to the New York Times The social costs of the marijuana laws are vast. There were 658,000 arrests for marijuana possession in 2012, according to F.B.I. Figures compared with 256,000 for cocaine, heroin and their derivatives. Even worse, the result is racist, falling disproportionately on young black men, ruining their lives and creating new generations of career criminals. It is widely accepted by society and by lawmakers that the drinking of alcohol is okay and safe for us and we should drink it. However, not many of us take notice all the fighting, vandalism, and rape that happens because of the influence of drinking alcohol. But what would happen if everyone smoked marijuana instead of consuming alcohol? How did we come to the realization that marijuana is bad and alcohol is okay? Research provided by NORML Foundation, whose mission is to reform marijuana laws, marijuana is the third most popular leisure drug in America (following only alcohol and tobacco). Around 100 million Americans have been utilized cannabis during their lifetime at least once, and 14 million of them consistently consume that product regardless of their fear of being arrested. (Normal) The reason those people smoke marijuana is the relaxation feelings that the substance provides. Even though the substance does not have serious drawbacks, smoking weed is still considered as a crime. Therefore, our government authorities should generate laws that would reveal the current situation regarding cannabis consumption, not contradict it.…
If one could travel back into the past and notice one event that occurred many times throughout medical history I can guarantee it would be the use of animals to conduct medical experiments. This has been happening since the time of the Egyptians, and it has brought us to the medical advancements we have today. Animal experimentation has helped not only humans but animals as well. This act has given us the pools of information we have today. Even though it has brought so much relief to countless medical complications others still argue that this act is not a fair one and suggest it should be against to the law to continue doing this even though it has benefited us so. I believe using animals to perform medical research should not be against the law. Animal experimentation has actually brought benefits to both humans and animals, major advances in medicine have been made, and it has given us a better understanding of the human and animal bodies.…

Jaggard may be some kind of a spy, this has more of a detective novel than it looks like a James Bond story. No gadgets, no flegmatic gentlemen-spies, no fancy cars, no astonishing beauties. Just average people, credible average people. And a credible story, a story that is compelling enough to have kept me reading far longer than I usually do. Great story, well told, excellent pace, and it even has some to make you think a little about…
