Societies Scapegoat
<view this essay>.... target for criticism. It's elementary to blame the tube
for a child's behavior; it's a quick and easily identified source of violence
within a youths confined world. The TV many times is identified as the cause of
aggressive acts to avoid dealing with other underlying issues. Society today
has an entire array of different afflictions that plague us from day to day.

Curfews
<view this essay>.... like they are your parents, when actually your parents know you are out having fun. It would make more sense for a police officer to go around making troublemakers and kids on probation go home. Why should many of us innocent teenagers suffer for having a curfew? Police officers go around trying to make a point, but what they do not realize is that teenagers don’t listen. They tell many teenagers to go home, but what ends up happening is they just go somewhere else to hang out. Teenagers these days will just rebel. We teenagers have a point, why should we go home if a police officer tells us to, if our parents let us go out and we are not doing anything .....

natives, made clothes, cooked, cleaned, as well as the many manual labour jobs
that men held. For example, women worked in coal mines, armories, and aided the

"Is Moral Egoism Correct?"
<view this essay>.... bleach and never walk alone late at night. Many know that it is in one's best interest to exercise, eat healthy, and to be educated. So what's the problem with moral egoism? These things are all true, so how can moral egoism be false? Even though on the outside moral egoism appears to be true, when we look deeper we can see that it is not.
Moral Egoism states that it is correct for us to do what is in our own best interest, which appears to be true from my previous arguments. When we look deeper though, we soon discover that although most of the time it is correct for us to do what is in our own best interest, sometimes it is not. For example, say I am p .....
