.... that idea evolving graffiti was illustrated in the article, “The proliferation of graffiti, even when not obscene, confronts the subway rider with the ‘inescapable knowledge that the environment he must endure for an hour or more a day is uncontrolled and uncontrollable, and that anyone can invade it to do whatever damage and mischief the mind suggests’” (Wilson 7). The graffiti, in this case, is not dangerous or even necessarily offensive. What remains is the feeling that this is untamed area and subject to those who do not obey the law. This is not a violent cr .....

.... is alluding to the relationship, also calling it a “violent abuse of power” (693). This choice of words is similar to those of Jefferson, who asserts that the king had established an “absolute tyranny” over the states. Both men set an immediate understanding about their feelings towards the rule of Great Britain over the States. However, where Common Sense seems to be an opinionated essay, Thomas Jefferson writes somewhat of a call to battle. Paine generally seems to be alerting his readers to the fact that there is more going on than they are aware of. Jeff .....

.... the various stances of social institutions, particularly the Catholic Church, and consequently show that capital punishment is not a just punishment but rather "morally acceptable" legalized murder. The opening quote of this paper comes directly from the Holy Bible. It suggests to the reader that God did not make death and He doesn’t delight in the death of a human being, regardless of the cause. The Holy Bible is one of the best places to find information about death and how to treat capital punishment. In setting out the ten commandments, one of its best k .....

.... . . yet I must have had the heat up to 90 and wrapped in blankets.I couldn't focus on anything. It seemed my life had been ripped away from me. That was only one of the millions of tragic stories that parents sometimes have to face. A 16-year-old just receiving his or her license and thinking that they can do anything. What they don't realize is what danger they are putting themselves, as well as others into. As a group, teenage drivers have high crash rates per mile driven. What isn't so widely known is that the problem is worst among 16-year-olds, the ag .....

.... law he was found innocent and therefore should not be able to be held accountable for their wrongful deaths. What was amazing about the case is the amount of money that was awarded to the families when they stated it wasn’t about the money. If it wasn’t about the money then why did they bother with the suit in the first place if he was found not guilty of their murders? To me it seems that it was about the money and not who killed their children, if that was the case they would work with OJ to find out who the real killers are. Recently a lawsuit was filed aga .....

.... the death penalty could be used constitutionally. Yet, even with these various controls, the system does not effectively eliminate racial bias. Since Gregg v. Georgia the total population of all 36 death rows has grown as has the number of judicial controls used by each state. Of the 3,122 people on death row 41% are black while 48% are white (Gest, 1996, 41). This figure may be acceptable at first glance but one must take into account the fact that only 12% of the U.S. population is black (Smolowe, 1991, 68). Carolyn Snurkowski of the Florida attorney gene .....

.... crime, Capital punishment should be legalized in all states, because it is morally just and it will deter crime. The many opponents of capital punishment who are against it feel that the death penalty is not a deterrent and that it is barbariaertic of the past. It has no place in a civilized society today. One of the biggest arguments against capital punishment is people feel that it violates the eighth amendment which forbids cruel and unusual punishment. People against Capital Punishment believe the death penalty is absurd and is in un-christ .....

.... because it is often used unfairly. Economist magazine states that even though women commit twenty percent of the homicides in the United States, women are rarely sentenced to death and executed (27). The poor and friendless defendants, those with inexperienced or court-appointed counsels, are most likely to be executed. For example, Orenthial James Simpson had the money to afford the best lawyers and was “guilty as sin,” but he was acquitted. According to Alison Coope, a disproportionate number of nonwhites are sentenced to death. Also, when the death pena .....
