Civilize The Wilderness
<view this essay>.... world. We should also civilize it because we need the
extra room and because we cannot live in uncivilized areas of the wilderness, at
least not with all of the comforts of home. What effects will civilizing the
wilderness now have in the future? Many questions can arise when contemplating
civilizing the wilderness.
The wilderness is being civilized for one main reason. That reason is
technology. Technology plays an important role in everyone's lives today.
Without it, we would not have computers, fax machines, cellular phones, and all
of the modern conveniences that we have today. The fact is, that many people
believe that the wilderness is like an u .....

Early Marriages Are Usually Unhappy Marriages
<view this essay>.... ask?
The marriages that lasted had to do with a certain amount of respect and acceptance for tradition. Although some of the marriages that lasted had it's fair share of problems, the couples always maintained that they had to compromise and keep their respect for each other high above the troubled waters. The ones that did not last may have been so because the two people who were put together were entirely incompatible. Many stories have been heard but few have been learnt from.
Today some young people believe that they need to wait before they make that big commitment. Indeed there must be some just reason for them to conclude this. But as it is with man .....

Greed
<view this essay>.... were depicted as pure evil. Vanderbilt stole from the poor. Rockefeller was a snake. But the name-calling did not come from the consumers; it was the competing businesses that complained. The newspapers expanded on these comments, calling them "robber barons." These are inaccurate terms for these businessmen. They were not barons because they all started penniless and they were not robbers because they did not take it from anyone else.
Vanderbilt got rich by making travel and shipping faster, cheaper, and more luxurious. He built bigger, faster, and more efficient ships. He served food on his ships, which the customers liked and he lowered his costs. He lo .....

Same Sex Marriages
<view this essay>.... “Thou shalt not lay with mankind,
as with womankind: it is abomination.” (God) And to the people who disregarded
this, the punishment was written simply; “they shall be cut off from their among
their people.” Is it possible to say that these words that have provided strict
guidelines for all these years no longer have any meaning or promise because we
are no longer a people? Or is it right to think that we are adopted into the
family of God and are now apart of His people? Who decides? What if your
family isn't Christian, does the law of God apply to you? (God)
For years and years these were the words that nearly everyone followed.
Only people who were .....

Who's Right Is It Anyway?
<view this essay>.... and tissue. In this light, there really is not much to life. Out
of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge to be true world leaders. The
rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and little play. The taking of ones life can be argued
from a populist view as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world.
True, one less person here or there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had
attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be recognized. Another popular argument
for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do
they know t .....

Observing Relations Between People And Their Eating Habits
<view this essay>.... get caught up in the story that he was telling. He was gesturing quite quickly with his hands and smiling as he spoke. It seemed to me that it must have been an amusing story because the other man laughed out loud and shook his head. Then the conversation returned to normal and they kept chatting for the next 45 minutes.
I then turned my attention to another table at which two Caucasian women in their mid thirties were seated at. The women like the men were drinking coffee and talking. They were at the food fair more for a quick visit than to eat while shopping. The women shared similar attributes, for example they both had short brown hair and wore dark c .....

The Pressure To Be Perfect
<view this essay>.... beauty that people have forgotten about an individual having beauty
within. The sayings “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and “beauty is only
skin deep” come to mind when I think about just how much emphasis is placed on
outer appearance.
A major factor that has increased the percentage of overweight people in society
is technology. This includes items such as elevators, escalators, garage-door
openers, drive-in windows, and the remote control. It use to be that you would
at least burn some calories by having to get up and turn the channel on the
television, but thanks to technology it is now a push of a button. Just think,
things have the possibili .....
