I think that Star Simpson is guilty because she could have caused panic, death or injury. Why would someone put a circuit board on their sweater? In the Bethel case Matthew Fraser had the freedom of expression but he used inappropriate language, that’s why he was punished. In the Hazelwood incident a student wrote something inappropriate, and got into trouble so even though there is freedom of speech and press there are limits to freedom. So Simpson should not have the right to wear something in public.
Jalal Bennett English III Pd.4 How The HIV/ AIDS Outbreak In The 1980’s Relates To The Crucible Typically people haven’t been known to deal with things they are uncertain of very well. The aids hysteria is very similar to the Salem witch trials because both cases were caused by fear. The people didn’t know how to deal with the situation. Also in both cases extreme measure were taken to keep the witches and those with aids away from the rest of society so the people who had the disease or problem wouldn’t give it to those who didn’t. Many people were also accused and given false labels during both of these times, innocent people were accused of being witches, and given the label a witch, and during the aids hysteria people were considered gay or a drug user if you had aids, even if you weren’t.
Death? She should have all the honor that we can give her!” (218). Antigone changing the public’s opinion had an effect on Creons set punishment, he then realized how the original punishment did not fit the crime and decreased the cruelty. Harvey Milk went out of his way to change the publics’ opinion on gay rights, he felt as though he had a voice to be heard. Milk kept busy with protesting and giving speeches on gay rights and really enlightened many people’s thoughts on the topic.
“But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk. And that harassment helps to prevent them from feeling free. Moving into a new country is tough, but moving to a place where the community doesn’t accept you is much harder. Even though you are technically free, you can never be free unless you are accepted by the community you move to. This is shown in the short story The Strangers That Came to Town by Ambrose Flack.
Like they don’t make enough money in the NFL they need to sue over petty bull crap like they were back in elementary school again. There are so many more important things to worry about in today’s society then calling people names. If they are not calling each other the N-word than it’s about their sexuality and they use the F-word and other derogatory names I chose not to use here. This article also says that his own team mates consider him to be honorary black because he is considered one of them from being on the team for so long, it also says it’s a cultural thing that he can’t be honorary black because he has not lived in oppression like the black race has which to me is a discriminatory remark in itself because black people don’t own the market on being oppressed. People of all cultures have been oppressed at some point in history.
Jefferson says, “We hold these truths to be self-evidence, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson, 80). He states how having these natural rights mean happiness to the citizens. We were created to use our ability to reach what we desire happiness should be. In “The Aim of Man” Aristotle has his own views when it comes to material and spiritual happiness. Aristotle argues that material is what an object consist of and this matter we could not live without.
Another quote he ripped was Colbert joking about gays on his television show “There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell” this gallant quote is nothing more than a joke, and again even if Colbert was in any way seriously that opposed to being gay, Republican governor Rick Santorum has him beat when the governor compared being gay to such things as pedophilia, bigamy, incest and even bestiality. Compared to the governor and presidential front runner Rick Santorum, Colbert’s quotes are merely a joke; which is what it was intended to be in the first place. Obeidallah then ends this claim by comparing Stephen Colbert to Adolph Hitler by saying “These above quotes are clearly the words of a man with no regard for the values of
Sex Offenders Should Be Monitored Thousands of people are sexually abused every year, but “fewer than five percent of sex offenders are ever apprehended” (Salter2). Contrary to popular belief, sexual offenders are highly intelligent. Many have been known to premeditate and to use deceptive techniques to get what they want. So, how is anyone supposed to really know if sex offenders are civil enough to be in society with no supervision? Sexual offenders should be monitored for the rest of their lives because statistics show that they are likely to repeat their first offense, to ensure the safety of society, and there are alternative treatments.
Their sexual orientation does not dictate the kind of person they are. What they do to others does. Most gays and lesbians are not in the streets trying to tell other people that the religious groups are the bad people, they just want to be left alone. In times of war among countries the enemy has an agenda and the opposing side will harm who they must to protect their own, yet this is not war. Homosexuals are not hurting anyone by being homosexual, so why such hostility?
According to a survey held by the Human Rights Campaign in 2010, 92% of homosexuals who participated claimed that they were victims of verbal abuse or anti-gay threats, and 24% reported physical attacks towards them. Also, in 2009, the number of hate crimes against gays showed that there was a 7% increase nationwide. Unfortunately, two years later, the statistics have only gotten larger in numbers, showing a 10% increase from the same survey conducted. This may be because of the Anti-Gay Industry that is made up of many politicians and religious groups in the U.S. who possess beliefs that being a homosexual is a sin against God himself. This very same group encourages the actions of anti-gay hate crimes and urges incomprehensible violence towards gays solely to support their beliefs and for their own profit.
