‘Natural Law has no serious weaknesses.’ Discuss. The natural law theory is approach from an absolutist point of view which expresses that morality is set from birth. What is right and wrong, good or evil can be perceived almost instantly by everyone because morality is universal it is not a relativist thing that can change with situation.

It can be seen as a good approach to morality as it does not allow people from different denominations such as cultures or where you are born or in different situation they may find themselves to build their own moral rules and framework to life, it is personal but is guided by these innate rules.
I’m No Jordan Every single avid basketball fan yearns to be like Mike, young, old, rich, poor, tall, short, everyone. Michael Jeffrey Jordan now, 48 years of age and nine years away from the game he loved with the passion that drove him to harness raw talent and cultivate it every day until there was separation between him and every other superstar the game of basketball has ever seen. I wondered how I could be like that. The comparisons have been made by hundreds of sports analysts, former players, current players, Hall of Famers and even celebrities over the years as to who would be the next MJ and they all have different opinions leaving us without a conclusive “Air to the Throne”. And then there was Kobe.
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.

Meaningful Quotations “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.” (pg. 2) To me this quote means a lot, it doesn’t only say not to be afraid of what you’re doing. But to me it’s also saying how never look back. Go all out. Never stop half-way, or give in under pressure.
Von Braun knew that although the Americans were well capable of launching the first satellite, the initiative was not taken. He was at the centerfold of the outcry after Sputnik I was launched. President Eisenhower’s Secretary of Defense, Neil McElroy, was informed by von Braun: “We knew they were going to do it! Vanguard will never make it! We have the hardware on the shelf!
Armstrong was provided with many opportunities that continued to shape not only his professional career but his personal life. He flew aircraft that included a multitude of makes and models of aircraft. He was provided the advantage of attending multiple colleges, which nonetheless encouraged him to continue to chase his dream”NASA- National Aeronautics and Space Administration.” In addition to his dreams of outer space exploration, Neil Armstrong was awarded the American Dream of a wife and family. A successful career and a family to share it with seemed to be the very lifeblood of his dream. None of this would have been achieved without the vast opportunities we are granted simply by being American
“How good you are in the beginning does not measure how great you can become.” There really is an enormous amount of truth behind this statement. Once starting my classes, I realized that I could be great. Not only be great but also reach my goal. This lecture gave me a lot of hope and faith that I too can be exactly what I dream of.

His kingdom, the cities, rivers and other geographical areas, still existed and contained many references to the story. His status as a demigod is what allowed him to achieve victory in many of the battles he endured, and to persevere through his journeys. His mother was a god so he naturally was endowed with god-like strength, beauty, status, and etc… the only thing missing was immortality. Once his companion dies he is forced to
The person I choose that best describes what America means to me is Ed Bradley. Ed Bradley was an African American reporter best known for his work on the news show Sixty Minutes. The reason I chose him is because even though the deck was always stacked against him in his life, he still worked hard and was able to achieve greatness.

Ed did not let his home life get in the way though he believed he could become anything he wanted to if he set his mind to it.
