The End or The Journey? “The journey is far greater than the inn.” I am a sixteen year old girl. As a child‚ there is a long journey towards adulthood. There is the pleasure of the journey taken and the joy of the end. Some people may say that the journey is more memorable than the goal. Others may argue that the goals are the most memorable ones.

Although I think that a lot of people think of Reagan when they think of the end of the Cold War and the collapse‚ to give him the whole credit for the triumph or victory is wrong. From the beginning of his presidency Reagan wanted nothing more than to see the Soviet Union fall or to at least stop growing.

Overfishing is a serious issue that involves taking wildlife at increasingly higher rates than the species can replace.

Kristin Adler Contemporary Moral Problems December 15‚ 2009 End of Life I would like to start off by answering two questions: “What is a person? and “What is death?” When I started looking up a definition for “person” it amazed me how many different variations there are. I feel that a person is one that is recognized by the law and has rights and duties. A person also has the moral right to make its own life-choices and to live without interference from others.

Did slavery end with the 13th amendment? The 13th amendment abolished slavery in 1864‚ but that does not mean it’s gone for good.
