Candide Essay Hunter Kuhn 9/30/11 Metz, 3 Voltaire once said, “Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.” Based on the story of Candide every person must have a hundred counts because of their terrible nature. Through Voltaire’s eyes, 18th century Europe was a place where the devil himself could fit in. This hell on earth was what Voltaire’s Candide lived through and fought against. Candide tussled with many tragedies, until the horrendous acts of his fellow man broke his spirit and belief in optimism. Yet Voltaire was not the only European author to feel this way about the true nature of man.
A few of the bad sides of religion include the way that different religions get stereotyped into the most terrible side of extremists. Another example of the past negativity the church has had in the past is the many crusades the church went on in order to force their outlook on the masses of Europe. There has also been many counts of corruption stemming from the Vatican all the way back to the beginning of the biblical era. Lastly the church has the ability to bring out the vilest sides of some people that turn into extreme groups that castigate and have even killed the people that didn’t follow their norms. The church we are talking about in this context is more the organized institution of church and not the sanctuaries some people confide in or, the community that the Sunday sermon can bring to people.
Being an organ donor may not seem like much when you check yes on your driver’s license form, but in reality it means a lot. It means when you die you are allowing them to take your organ out of your body and giving them to someone else who can benefit from them. You can save several lives being an organ donor. Why would you not want to be one? There are several debates people give to not wanting to donate their organs.

The Last Judgment caused a big dispute between Cardinal Carafa and Michelangelo. It became a big deal because Michelangelo was accused of immorality and vulgarism because it had naked people with their genitals in evidence. It was mostly made a big deal because the image is in a church of Christianity. So then a censorship campaign was organized by Carafa to remove the frescoes. The genitalia in the fresco were covered twenty-four years later.
Maybe I won't really be dead when they sign my death certificate. It'll be too late for me if they've taken my organs for transplantation. I might have otherwise recovered. Reality. Although it's a popular topic in the tabloids, in reality, people don't start to wiggle a toe after they're declared dead.
Surgeons regularly perform successful organ transplants but the extent of their work is restricted by a lack of available organs from volunteer donors. Describe two arguments for and two against the compulsory donation of organs to hospitals. [30] In this essay I will write about two arguments for and against organ donation being compulsory. This is an area subject to a lot of controversy and will seek to make it a balanced essay. The first argument for organ donation is that there is an ever growing number of people who need an organ transplant in order to continue there lives, with this number being over 8000 in the United Kingdom alone, this is a staggering number and more should be done to help these people, as you would expect the same, were you in that person.
It is said in many scriptures in all religions that God will punish non-believers and heretics so why would people take matters into their own hands. I believe these people should be punished by God for such immoral acts. This violence is too excessive and is unjustifiable by any means. Religious violence and any other type of violence (except self-defense) can never be morally excused. Everyone in the world agrees that the action of Adolf Hitler in the Holocaust was an abomination and inexcusable.
They could have had someone close to them die suddenly or recently and they think it could happen to them just as easily. Having more than a few friends pass away at a young age, I can say from a personal standpoint that I've definitely had more of a care free attitude toward life and sort of gone by the motto "if I die tomorrow, at least I've done...". It's hard to say what causes people to think about this stuff because the circumstances are obviously different for different people. I think the most visual and popular signs of this thought process are movies that are made. Movies like, "Terminator 2", "Deep Impact", "2012" or one of my favorites, "Armageddon".
