ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST TERM LIMITS My research indicated there is more public support for term limits. The most common reason was voters feel dissatisfied and misrepresented by the candidate in office. It is believed that career politicians are elitists and do not have a clear understanding of what “real” people are dealing with or need. Term limits would create an even playing field for newcomers allowing new ideas and fresh thinkers into the mix. Newcomers would be less influenced by

It was present by Singer in Animal Liberation. In his book‚ he explains his argument against how animals are abused for human benefit because of the common thought that humans are superior to animals. His position is that animals should be treat with the same respect as human beings instead of subpar. Singer makes it clear that animals are equal to humans‚ not inferior‚ and should be treated as such throughout his argument.

Some people are strongly against vaccinating their children. They feel it is unsafe and can even lead to autism. There have been many reported cases where vaccines have actually done a lot of harm. As the amount of vaccines being administered to children has risen‚ so has the percentage of children with autism. This is ground-breaking evidence to the anti-vaccine movement. They assume that the more vaccines a child receives‚ the higher they go up on the autism spectrum. It is believed that a child

Terrorism and Torture In the threat of national security‚ the debate on torture is confronted with legal and moral dilemmas of permissibility. In the hypothetical case of the ticking-bomb terrorist‚ torture is perceived as either an advantageous means of national security‚ or a violation of human rights. Although it is a “slippery slope‚” in order to preserve the balance between national security and civil liberties in a democratic society‚ torture should be prohibited. Considering terrorist

Gun ownership has the capability to positively assist a home occupant during a burglary. A burglar can be convinced to leave the home in the presence of a gun-wielding occupant‚ or a gun-owner can exercise his right to self-defence and harm the intruder‚ effectively ending the home invasion. With this in mind‚ it can appear to be a good idea to own a gun in the event of home invasion. But does this really mean that owning a gun will protect from home invasion? Or that having a gun at the time of
