Homosexuality
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1832.... it illegal to discriminate against an individual’s sexual preference. With this in mind, the government would then require all facets of society, including religious communities, to welcome the marriages, adoptions, and families of homosexuals as though they were in no way different from heterosexual ones. It seems unreasonable that such an authority be involved in legislating the acceptance of an identifiable group that behaves in a manner unbecoming of any moral, decent, and even moderately religious human being, when our society itself can offer no consensus on such a moral .....

Teenage Love
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 502.... the teenage world. With some many teenage single moms and kids having sex among an early age, they use the phrase "I love you" a little to loosely. Lust is what makes people that they know is crazy but yet keep going on with their actions.

The Volkswagen Beetle
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1144.... that prototype stage in 1933 accurately foreshadowed the Volkswagen.

Once again Porsche was commissioned to design a popular car, and when the first ludicrously tight financial limits were relaxed he accepted the technical challenge.

their child the discipline and motivation it takes to do well in school.
Parents have to teach their children that school always come first. Students
need to put school on top of their priority list too. Parents also need to
assure that their children understand their own responsibility to get their work

is the students who have to do the work.
Children must learn to accept responsibility for the results of their own
actions. Students will sometimes blam .....

Nuclear Energy
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1927.... the
scientists applied their knowledge and their heavy water to the new
Canadian nuclear industry.
On September 5th, 1945 near Ottawa the team started up the first
operating nuclear reactor outside the USA. Of course, the output was

established beyond doubt. It was now the job of the scientists and
engineers to put it to a practical use.

Autonomy As A Natural Occurenc
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 806.... be recognized that these criticisms are often developed with a limited viewpoint. One such critic, B.F. Skinner who stressed the influence of the environment over the individual, argued against autonomy from that particular view. Skinner stated, “It is clear now that we must take into account what the environment does to an organism not only before but after it responds. Behavior is shaped and maintained by its consequences.” Although one can understandably recognize the influence of an individual’s environment over their actions, many react to situations as needed. Howeve .....
