Living with Epilepsy It was a cold, rainy day. I could see most of the kids at the bus stop had winter coats and hats. The clouds were particularly low in the sky. After evading the numerous puddles in the road, I reached the bus stop and walked up to a group of friends. A girl in my class spotted me and asked, "Are you going to the dance tomorrow?" I froze. I had forgotten about the dance and now was uncertain about whether I was going or not. "Yeah, probably," I answered. She nodded and we
Like everything in life, government regulations has its’ pro and cons. It is important that the government have some type of regulation on intermodal transportation, because without regulations things tend to spiral out of control. Too much government regulations can also stifle growth and expansion of the industry. Government tends to regulate different aspects of the intermodal industry, like what modes of transportation should be most frequently used by the industry. Government also regulates

healthy? Katie Rosenhouse once said, “what is life without a little sugar and salt and the good stuff.” So therefore, is it really anyone's business about what people choose to consume? The government should follow the First amendment. Which states the people have the right to freedom. If they take away the people's right to eat junk food, salt, and sugar then the government is basically taking away their freedom to drink and eat what they please. Without the sugar, the salt, and other sweet

collision between one-sided positions rather than the collapse of one tragic hero. This is best exemplified in Sophocles’ Antigone when two factions battle over the proper way to dispose of a person who was both a family member and an enemy of the state. Looking at each standpoint, both embody some form of selflessness and good. King Kreon was acting on behalf of the people to protect the kingdom from an enemy while Antigone was acting for her family by trying to honor her brother with a proper burial
for the good of the public. In his article, Bagaric states that torture sometimes simply has to be done for the good of the public throughout the article. He begins by saying that war is wrong, but sometimes there are exceptions that we need to recognize. “The belief that torture is always wrong is, however, misguided and symptomatic of the alarmist and reflexive responses typically emanating from social commentators.” (Bagaric, 226). He states that one cannot simply say that torture is wrong and
Whether this is through ideas like welfare state where the government supports its people by providing things such as financial support or individualistic ideas like pursuing your own self-interest. The source provided wants all of us to believe that by supporting the ideologies of collectivism through welfare state, it will only result with us depending on the government instead of striving for our own success. The statement from the source, “The welfare state arose out of a misguided desire to
old now and the child support case was closed. Mr. McCoy stated his second issue is regarding his daughter, Cierra Sanner’s mother, CP, Chinureye Sanner. He stated that they left the State of Alabama in 1997; and he left in 1998. He stated his daughter is 21 years old now; he still pays child support to the State of Alabama, and he is still in arrears. He stated he does not know where the money is going and that he would like to know where the money
mortal, deathless, living or lasting forever.” In “The Chimney Sweeper”, Blake saw immortality in a different sense than Webster states. Blake saw immortality as happiness throughout life and the importance of hope. “The Chimney Sweeper” is a great title for Blake’s poem. The title is a symbol representing the harsh life of a chimney sweeper and his life as a child. He states, “When my mother died I was very young, and my father sold me while yet my tongue”, (ln 1-2). This is saying that his mother died
Some believe the government regulates business too much others feel that the government does not do enough. I believe the government is regulating business far too much and furthermore putting businesses out of business and causing many workers to lose jobs. In this paper I will point out the common problems dealing with government regulation. I will also focus on three major aspects of government regulation which include: 1) regulation interferes with production by halting innovation and discouraging
Move Governor Greg Benson wants to outsource the states medium security prisoners. Outsourcing would mean send inmates in the states prisons out of state to serve their prison sentence. We would be sending these inmates who aren’t just a number; they are fathers, sons, and grandchildren to prisons in states such as Texas or Georgia. He says this will help with over crowding and will save New Hampshire tax payers money. Shipping inmates out of state will hurt the community’s of New Hampshire, it won’t
- Describe your thoughts about government intervention. Government intervention occurs when a governing body decides to interfere in the economy through regulatory actions. For example in 2008 the US and Canadian governments decided to intervene in the automobile market to stop GM and Crysler from going bankrupt. Governments intervene in the market to fix private sector failures, improve the economic system and increase market distribution when companies become too big. In my opinion, government
Experience and many of Wordsworth’s works, childhood is portrayed as a superior state of mental capacity and freedom. The two poets echo one another in asserting that the individual’s progression into adulthood diminishes this childhood voice. In essence, both poets demonstrate an adoration for the vision possessed by a child, and an aversion to the mental state of adulthood. Although both Blake and Wordsworth show childhood as a state of greater innocence and spiritual vision, their view of its relationship
tragic play as defined by Aristotle? Antigone is not a tragic play. Rather it is a theological debate spawned by Sophocles, a debate that is still raging today, the debate of who holds the higher law, the Gods or the State. While this debate has slowly twisted into Church versus State, which is a very different argument, the highest questions still remain the same: Which one is held higher in men’s (and women’s) hearts? Antigone answers this question with shocking clarity in her admission of guilt
In this essay I will examine Aristotle’s ideal state in order to find out whether it is rather a place of hierarchy than equality. First it is necessary to define what is meant by hierarchy and equality. This seems to be an easy task, since these are commonly used words. But by equality, do we mean for example equal property, equal power or equal rights for everyone? For 21st century Sweden, for example, is usually thought to be rather equal state, while it is however true that even there everyone
be no money and no time left to deal with other ordeals. In order for this to not happen the state has to focus on the public at large. In doing so the state is able to do the best they can in any given situation. This defeats Huemer’s argument by showing that the state is making a reasonable attempt to keep the public safe, which is what the individuals are consenting to originally according to the state. This consent grants the government political authority therefore showing the difference between
nothing at all in common is impossible seeing that the two people live in the same state giving them at least one similarity. Shortly after, Aristotle discusses how possessions in the state come into play such as who owns what and whether or not things should be shared. Along with each statement will usually fine about two or three different scenarios as to how the situations could pan out. In this case Aristotle states that, (1) the soil may be appropriated, but the produce may be thrown for consumption
