We live in an epoch of complex problems. The ideas of tolerance and human rights protection‚ based on the idea that every human being is a master of their life‚ have contributed into letting people live as they want and do what they will – in reasonable measures. In particular‚ tolerance has seemingly resolved or smoothened a number of moral dilemmas that humanity faced during the past centuries. However‚ there still exists several extremely important and disputable questions‚ such as euthanasia

Ironically—I’m the definition of undefinable. Normally people would say something like‚ “If you look up freakish in the dictionary‚ you’ll see my picture underneath”—but that is not the point to me. I am not word‚ I am not line‚ and I am not a girl that can ever be defined. It’s like trying to find a needle in a hay stack‚ or finding Waldo in a crowd of people; I’m definitely hard to decipher. You can say‚ compared to a Ballerina in a mosh pit—I’m as scantly as a hen’s teeth. As brave as a child

There used to be candy stores that had penny candy but nowadays‚ there is nothing that actually costs a penny. Many people look down at the ground‚ see a penny and leave it there. For them‚ the penny is not worth any

Upon the Burning of Our House by Anne Bradstreet LITERARY FOCUS: THE PLAIN STYLE The Puritans favored “plainness” in all things: in dress‚ in the architecture and design of their churches‚ in their forms of worship‚ and in language. Unlike the ornate “high style” popular in England at the time‚ the Puritan plain style used simple sentences and common words from everyday speech. The plain style contained few or no classical allusions‚ Latin quotations‚ or elaborate figures of speech. The plain

I think burning books is a very wrong act. Burning books is wrong because it is not only ruining hard work and dedication that the author put into it‚ but also‚ the author’s ideas and thoughts. When the nazi’s burned books about the Jews‚ I thought this was extremely cruel. It was bad enough that they killed millions of Jews‚ but burning their thoughts and ideas is something that people should be very ashamed of. My overall thoughts of burning books is that it is very wrong. I agree and disagree
