Islam More Than A Religion
Number of words: 1341 - Number of pages: 5.... of the world and of all life within it. Allah is viewed as the sole God----creator, sustained, and restorer of the world. The will of Allah, to which man must submit, is made known through the sacred scriptures, the Qur'an (Koran). Allah revealed the Qur'an to his messenger, Muhammad. According to Islamic beliefs, Muhammad is the last of a series of prophets (including Adam, Noah, Jesus, and others). Muhammad's message concurrently perfect and do away with the “revelations” attributed to earlier prophets. From the very beginning of Islam, Muhammad had indoctrin .....

Death To The Death Penalty
Number of words: 767 - Number of pages: 3.... influence of drugs or
alcohol, or in panic moments, when the culprit is discovered while he
steals, as I mentioned already. Some murderers have very serious
psychiatric problems or are mental patients. In none of these cases is it
possible that the fear to be sentenced to death could act as an effective
deterrent.
There is another heavy limit. One who plans a crime rationally can
choose to go on, although he knows the risk he's running, thinking that he
won't be discovered. Most of the criminologists assert that the best way to
discourage murderers isn't .....

Make Drugs Legal
Number of words: 780 - Number of pages: 3.... our revenue. Marijuana and other drugs would be made by the same people who make aspirin so the quality would be assured, containing no poisons or adulterants. Sterile hypodermic needles will be readily available at corner drug stores. These could be taxed heavily because the users will be assured of "clean drugs." Making drugs legal will reduce the great amounts of money spent on enforcement every year. Drug dealers and users are one step ahead on the enforcement process. If one drug lord is caught, another one will show up somewhere else. We cannot win. .....

The Right To Die
Number of words: 1103 - Number of pages: 5.... being treated by physicians, sometimes relying on technical means to stay alive arises a great moral conflict. I wish to explore this topic on ethical, not legal issues. Do people have a right to choose death? More in particular, are euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide morally legitimate? Euthanasia involves a death that is intended to benefit the person who dies, and requires a final act by some other person, for example, a doctor. Physician-assisted suicide, which requires a final act by the patient, can also be undertaken for the good of that patient. Th .....

Racial Profiling
Number of words: 1575 - Number of pages: 6.... drug trafficking is primarily an Latino or African American thing. At the same time white drivers receive far less police attention, many of the drug dealers and users among them get away. This just feeds to the perception that whites commit fewer drug offenses than minorities. This often results in the persecution of innocent people based on skin color. This also causes a huge distrust and minorities are less willing to cooperate. Driving While Black is not an issue that just arose its just now gaining a name. The practice of by our nations police is the co .....

Teen Violence And Its Causes
Number of words: 1687 - Number of pages: 7.... love, with
discipline, and with lots of attention is not only their job, but their
responsibility as parents. Parents determine how their children become.
As the years go by, we see a higher and higher divorce rate. As
this rate goes up, so does the crime rate. Couples today have forgotten
the word commitment. As a result of this, the children suffer. It is hard
to grow up with separated parents. Most children become bitter or angry as
they grow because of their divorced parents. In some cases the parents
fight or argue which can affect a child, and ma .....

Affirmative Action And Its Eff
Number of words: 1744 - Number of pages: 7.... noble when looking at who benefits
from the outcome. Take a closer look at affirmative action. The
people that are involved and the damage it takes on our society
surfaces many doubts. Taking a closer look also stirs up a question
of nobility that needs to be answered before making a decision on
affirmative action. Does affirmative action simply change who is
discriminated against and makes it legal for the new discriminators?
Coming from my point of view, the view of a white male, this
is a serious question. One exampl .....

Therefore, she said, the law "creates a very strong financial disincentive to create or publish work," adding that there is "a risk of a chilling effect on free speech." But Justice Department lawyers, defending the law, argued that its language is clear enough to apply only to sites that exist to promote pornography. Furthermore, said one of the lawyers, Rupa Bhattacharyya, "The First Amendment allows you to speak freely; it does not necessarily guarantee you a profit to speak." The law requires operato .....
