Dating from the Third Dynasty of Ur (2100 BC).

Is it ever wrong to forgive? Introduction of the essay on forgiveness: I personally believe “Forgiveness to be a conscious‚ deliberate decision that one makes‚ to release feelings of resentment or vengeance. Towards a person or group of people who have harmed them‚ regardless of whether they actually deserve their forgiveness. This does not mean that the person who forgives glosses over or denies the seriousness of the offense against them (1)”. In this essay I will argue that forgiveness should

I am against abortion. I believe that it is wrong because it disobeys the Bible and God‚ kills a human‚ and hurts the mother. Abortion violates the Bible and God himself. The King James Version Bible states “ Thou shalt not kill” in Exodus 20:13. Abortion is the same thing as killing.

I think human testing is good because of these reasons. Without human testing we most likely wouldn’t be here today. Testing on animals isn’t always accurate. Doctors wouldn’t know if the newest vaccine will work on a human being if they just tested it on animals. Even if we test it on our closest genetic ancestors (i.e. Apes)‚ we wouldn’t be sure if the medicine works on humans. Apes are underdeveloped and live in the wild‚ so they’re able to withstand the obstacles the environment throws at

intimidate them so that they will extract information (Doing Ethics). Torture is morally wrong if it is unjustifiable or does not serve a purpose. On the other hand‚ to protect and secure our country from extremist and other terrorist‚ it can be morally justified. Keeping torture quiet with the public and out of world news is crucial. If it got out that the Americans were torturing assumed terrorists or enemies of the state for answers‚ it could cause great controversy. Although torture can be seen

those who fasted for religious reasons claimed some sort moral duty or repentance. My reasons for fasting are in accord with this school of thought. Any yet as soon as the fast is broken‚ I stuff myself without regard. The thought of those less fortunate then myself escapes my mind‚ and I feel as if I deserve to indulge and eat as much as I can.

Animal Rights versus Human Rights Currently‚ the state of California is going through a severe drought. Almost all of California is in this state of drought‚ with 70% suffering from an “extreme” case of drought. Farmers have very little water for their crops‚ and their methods for getting more water are being blocked. A bill proposing that water be diverted from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to provide the much needed water for drought-ridden farms was shot down because it would potentially
