.... of circus animals. Not only is there physical abuse, but also mental. Maclean’s Magazine finds that Veterinarian Ken Langlier becomes disgusted with the treatment of animals in the circus. “What he sees in circuses often sickens him: malnourished tigers, monkeys with their fingers bitten off, and elephants biting one another or pacing nervously.” (Brady). Animals can not possibly like circus life. It is obvious that audiences do not realize that animals are not acting out of love and talent. They are entertaining such crowds because they are constrained to by their trainers. “Animals are forced by repeated beat .....

.... controversial issue like animal research and experimentation my views vary. A few years ago I felt that any research or experimentation on animals was inhumane and unjust. However after maturing and becoming more aware of the world, I now feel as though there are definite ‘goods’ that come from animal research that can not come from doing tests on humans. This view is by no means one sided. I also feel that there are some things being done to animals that just should not happen, such as the testing of cosmetics. In other areas of animal rights like dissection in the classroom I think that as long as the animals died naturally .....

.... or rational message type) x 2(strong or weak argument quality). Subjects were in groups of two to six. After this step was established, eight messages in approximately equal length were developed. Each message contained six arguments that were either in favor or against using animals for research purposes. Rational and emotional were used in nature and strong and weak were used in quality. In the procedure of the experiment, subjects participated in an experimental session that included several tasks that were not directly related to the study. The first test included a survey of the subjects' attitudes toward anima .....

.... for work. He is programmed to tackle jobs, override obstacles, attack problems, overcome difficulties, and always seize the offensive. He will take on any task that can be presented to him in a competitive framework and his most important positive reinforcement is victory. (Warhol 40) The long Revolutionary War, which touched the lives of many people, naturally had a significant effect on American women. [T]he departure of so many men to fight in the Patriot armies left wives, mothers, sisters and daughters in charge of farms and businesses. Some women handled these tasks with great success. (Brinnley 171) The change m .....

.... would now no longer be underage and would be able to drink legally. Problem solved, or is it? According to Reginald Smart, in 1971 the Canadian province of Ontario lowered its drinking age from 21 years to 18 years, thinking this would help alleviate its underage drinking problem. At first, the new age law seemed to be working. Soon, bar owners complained because the young drinkers scared off the above 21 crowd, just took up space, and did not drink as much as the above 21 crowd. People in Ontario also started to notice more accidents involving alcohol and more public displays of drunkenness by young people. S .....

.... better thing, towards love that isn't physical. Romance epitomizes the best and worst of love. It is a thing that I at once desire and despise. The other definition of love is the fraternal love of others. A person loves their family, and their friends. This kind of love is more common. Every one is familiar with this sort of love. For example, a child usually loves his or her parents. This part of love has also been written about through out history. The great literary genius, Shakespeare, wrote entire plays tackling this subject (Encarta, CD-ROM). One of the more famous examples is Macbeth. Again, this sort of love is different .....

.... moved on with their lives and might not want to be reminded what could have been. So many hurt feelings and feelings of guilt could come flying back and then put more of a burden on both of your lives. There is another factor to think about in this situation. How is your family suppose to react to this and how are they supposed to feel? This is the loving family that took you in as there own for all these years, are they supposed to be fully supportive of your choice now? This is an extremely hard position to be put in because they could be afraid of losing you and dealing with this change will be very difficult. These are jus .....

.... to the same group of people. I'm not knocking what people want to call themselves, it's the mixed messages I'm getting and the inaccuracy of the terminology that frustrates me. Look around and you will see there is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Black Muslims, and African-Americans. All of these terms are used to refer to members of one group of people. Is it any wonder I'm confused? I have particular problems with the term African-American, a misnomer which would lead me to believe these people somehow hold dual citizenship with another country, or even worse, lead everyone to believe a .....

.... so important that there is laws to enforce them. Like school for instance, you are legally required to attend regular classes until the age of sixteen. There are some freedoms that we are entitled to but that are violated by others. Take your right to safely walk down the street for example, in some neighbourhoods that is virtually out of the question. I feel that the freedom to live where I want, go to the school of my choice, wear the clothes I want to, style my hair how I wish, marry who I want, have as many kids as I want, ( as long as I can support them ), safety and privacy in my own home and spend my money as I see fit are .....

.... and medical care and necessary social services, and to the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. This is a step in the right direction. However, this is not enough. These rights are subject to the discretion of the government of the country who decides to obey these universal rights. How much is "adequate"? The government, both at the federal and municipal levels, is currently working on new spending cuts. These cuts also include spending on welfare, unemployment and social services that are geared towar .....
