A World Without Religion Religion has separated millions of human beings because of numerous people attempting to prove that their belief is superior‚ while another’s is false. For these reasons‚ faith is also the basis of many wars‚ suicide bombings‚ and other crimes. So is religion a fair motive to justify these actions? And if that excuse vanished to thin air‚ what would happen? I believe‚ without religion‚ there would still be immorality in the world. In fact‚ I can only imagine a world

punishment retaliates an alarming effect to society’s safety. I strongly affirm with my resounding agreement to the establishment of capital punishment to eradicate the increasing occurrences of such heinous crimes. Primarily speaking‚ the necessity of death penalty has been the prolonged clamour of victims’ immediate family and relatives of these predators who demoralize and disrespect the life of their preys. A plea for justice has always been the battle cry of these innocent victims who impatiently

Wafeeq Mujahid November 21‚ 2012 ELA 9 Does death cause change in people and its surroundings? A French poet once said‚ “All changes‚ even the most longed for‚ have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another (Anatole France).” What does this mean though? I believe it means that change is a result of death‚ physically or mentally. In The Book Thief death causes changes in the characters and the setting. Liesel Meminger

In a world without gravity‚ one would be weightless‚ but always nauseous. Because of this‚ it would be very difficult to complete a lot of your daily activities without throwing up. If you tried to eat something while you and your food are floating around‚ you will probably have a lot of trouble trying to hold your food down. In 0-g‚ life would be very hard. Roller coasters are a perfect example of this. I do not do well on roller coasters. I get sick when I encounter zero gravity for that split

sentencing teens to life without parole. I agree that teenagers deserve life without parole for heinous crimes like first and second degree murder depending on whether or not the teenage offender planned out their crimes or the crime was committed in the heat of the moment out of anger or sadness. The teens that are in these programs and have lesser sentences should also only have 2 more chances to mess up and commit more crimes before they are sentenced to life without parole. I also believe that

I strongly agree with the statement “there is no literature without conflict”. It applies well to the play Antigone by Jean Anouilh. The most significant conflict exists between Antigone and Creon the king. Despite this major conflict‚ there is also another minor conflict between Antigone and Ismene. Conflicts do not have to be between two people. A good example would be whether or not to obey the law‚ when Antigone decides whether she should take the risk and try to bury her deceased brothers.
