American Civil Liberties Union

Our armed forces fight to protect our country from external threats to American freedoms. John F. Kennedy described the price American soldiers pay when he said, “The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.” Americans will do everything possible to protect our freedoms because this country was founded upon that idea. The loss of freedom…

Each individual has a unique set of personality traits that determines how they behave, solve problems and interact with others. Understanding these traits can help each individual have more self-knowledge and by doing so increasing personal success.

However, people, events and the world influence a person’s thoughts, which can change their experiences. I see sociology imagination as a tug-of-war between what a person has gone through and the world. I also believe it changes because a…

The Marrying Kind uses a controversial topic to explore a larger institution in America, one that has an effect on most everyone. Rauch uses the topic of same-sex marriage to further his points, but does not use it to overwhelm the overall idea he is introducing. Rather, he begins the essay by discussing his main point: cohabitation versus marriage. He then, quite effectively, introduces his own first hand experience of being gay in America, the effects it has had on his ability to marry, and…

The traditional view of marriage, the union of one man with one woman, has been prevalent since ancient times. However, over the past few decades, gay marriage has incited many United States citizens into debates over the legalization of same-sex marriage. Those in opposition to gay marriage believe that it should not become a constitutional right because it is condemned in the Bible, it has a negative effect on children, and it twists the meaning of what marriage was intended to be. Over the…

Personally, I think we are all born equal and we shouldn’t consider ourselves to be superior to another human being. Throughout this paper we will be discussing about one individual named “Kimball Allen” but as we…

of it all. In conclusion, though these conflicts can be grounds for lots of destruction, the main factor is the ungodly human, not the law itself.
