.... and possible pregnancy or STD transmission. The emotional aspects, however, are not so simple. These three aspects have led to the views held by the different sides to the issue. The power that sex wields can be expressed by comparing it to fire. Fire is good because it heats our homes, cooks our food, and strengthens steel for building. Fire can also be bad because it burns down homes, destroys God's creation, and is painful and scarring. Likewise, sex is also good and/or bad. It is exciting, cementing, and euphoric, but it can destroy lives and relationships via .....

.... sexual desires, by not allowing such things as marriage and sexual indulgement. The last vow in which the monks lived by was obedience. This vow was not only used to keep order, but it was also used to make the monks humble and not proud. In the modern day United States the dominant values are more along the line of selfishness. It seems, for the most part, that the main values in today's American society are, fulfilment of desires, and a rebelling type lifestyle. Greed can be seen everywhere one turns; everyone is in competition with others to see who can get the best cl .....

.... atoms and voids. Atomist theory had a great influence on the scientists who later developed the modern atomic theory. Pthyagorus, however, may be the most important thinker of Greek times. His mathematical theories of geometry had a vast effect on modern culture and knowledge. Another area that was greatly effected was government. The Greeks were the first civilization to develop a democracy. Cleisthenes divided Athens into smaller neighborhoods called demes. Each of these neighborhoods were guaranteed spots on the Council of Five Hundred. The representatives for .....

.... not only can promote their children to end up in the same place as where they are at but can provide the option for an even better education or higher possibility of achieving even more then they themselves have achieved. For example, in the inner city of L.A. the youth that attend the schools are at more of a loss because of outside sources. These could include thing like the influence of gangs, drugs, and possible violence within the schools themselves. Medal detectors being at each of the entrances of the school can also be a great hesitation for not only students .....

.... order to avoid being beaten. Grown ups had little respect for the children, making them do slave labor at home, and display best behavior in school. When looking back, I can see why corporal punishment was allowed to be used. The year is 1991, the students are all rebels without a cause... If corporal punishment was used today, it would fail. Kids no longer are expected to act like they are in church for their complete childhood. If a child is caught talking in class, the teacher does not whip or beat them like years ago, instead: writing the childs name on the board, or g .....

.... to her husband's family and not her own. Therefore, some parent's attitude to children is such that when they bear a son they congratulate each other, but when they bear a daughter they kill her. Both children come from the parent's love, but they congratulate each other when it is a boy and kill it if it is a girl because they are considering their later convenience and calculating their long-term interests. It is impossible to draw a full and accurate picture of what happened to baby girls in China at any given time; all that is certain is that this form of discrimin .....

.... were aware or were concerned about the risks of smoking. Consequently, people began taking action toward the cigarette companies and the risks of smoking. The cigarette companies began printing the Surgeon General’s warnings on the packages. An action the people have taken against the tobacco companies is law suits. The industry always had such a powerful defense helping them win so many suits. Their defense was that smokers assumed the risks of smoking and should bear the responsibility for it. The people were not having much luck in their fight against the tobacco compa .....

.... Washington thought it should be democratic, and Stalin thought it should be communist. So who is right? Is anyone right? Under a utopian society, totalitarianism wouldn't be the best because that society would be more perfect for one person than another. Communism wouldn't be the right choice because the government would have too much control over everyone's lives and being controlled isn't ideal for many people. A democratic society wouldn't work either because you would always have people like Hitler and Stalin walking around that wouldn't agree with it therefore the ut .....
