Military Only For Men? You’re Funny. Many people throughout the world believe that the government should not permit women to be in the military. They believe that members of the military should only be of the male gender because years ago that is how it worked. Women stayed at home‚ cooking‚ cleaning‚ and making babies; men were drafted into the military to serve their country. Their argument is invalid as times today are changed. Women should be allowed in the military because they are capable

Most Americans Should Not Use Credit Cards When I write my paper‚ I will give my answer to the question of whether or not American’s should use credit cards.

One cannot board a plane‚ buy cigarettes‚ buy alcohol‚ cash a check‚ fill out employment papers‚ get a loan‚ go to college‚ get insurance‚ rent an apartment‚ and do many other things. Why is it that the argument gets heated when the topic is having an I.D. to vote. One would think that keeping our elections accurate and untainted would be more important than buying cigarettes. Voter I.D. will keep people from committing voter fraud

Why I Love Disrespecting My Elders Coming from a Filipino family‚ my parents taught me to use “po” and “opo” every time I will be talking to elders and of course‚ to never dare to talk back— constantly telling me that these show respect. In addition‚ my former teachers would also repeat to me that I should always respect my elders.

Should Homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces? Why not? For one thing‚ gays are serving in the military right now. Furthermore‚ there is no reason to believe they have not been serving in the U.S. military continuously since the Revolutionary War. I saw a documentary on TV about WW2 gay vets. They were just regular vets-many decorated-who had extra difficulty serving in the military because of homophobia. I felt bad for them. U.S. military accepted openly-gay men in
