One out of every four girls is sexually abused during her childhood. This is a surprising statistic in itself but what most people don’t know is that one out of every six boys is also sexually abused before the age of eighteen. The median age for this abuse is only nine years old. At that age many children have no idea what sex is and in some cases don’t know what is being done to them at first. The trauma of sexual abuse will often haunt that person for the rest of his or life. Those who suffer ...

First of all, in the scope of this paper, it is essential to put an emphasis on the fact that there is a set of scientific researches, dedicated to the investigation of the question of whether the difference between parliamentarism and presidentialism matters. This question is considered to be critical for the set of the issues - such as the major reasons for democratic collapse, whether democratic consolidation is more likely to be promoted by certain institutions or not and whether regime type matters for governability and policy output (Samuels and Eaton 2).
While conducting an analysis of the ...

Behind alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is considered as the third most popular recreational substance not only in the United States, but also in some parts of the world. The thing that differentiates marijuana from the other two is its legality. This paper will draw the four most important arguments about marijuana that justifies the reason for making it legal. The four areas of concern whether the government has the strong grounds to prohibit marijuana, health implications and benefits, economic value and social significance will be explored in order to make a strong stand to imply its legalization. In the past decades, marijuana ...

Allen Hajek formulates his “Many Gods Objection” against Pascal's Wager. In his opinion, Pascal's Wager does not exhaust the relevant options regarding whether there is a Christian God or not. In this paper I shall defend Pascal's Wager against this objection.
Hajek's objection to Pascal's wager can be reconstructed as follows. Hajek points out that (1)Pascal's either-or proposition is an oversimplification.
(2) We could derive an infinite degree of expected utility from more than one religious option.
(3) According to Pascal's Wager, we can either choose only one Christian God or not choose one Christian God

When looking at the strategies of Napoleon Boneaparte, Clausewitz’s trinity, and the ...

Terrorism in the United States, and all over the world, is sadly very common. Although there is no one universal definition for terrorist acts, the FBI does define it as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (Qtd. Allen, 2007). There are some events that may or may not fall under this definition, but a collective group of people still refer to them as acts of terrorism. There are some experts who believe that the events during ...

This essay will be one that intends to expose the nature of belief comparing philosophers such as Blaise Pascal, Soren Kierkegaard on justifications for a belief in god and the reasons we believe in general to attempt to answer a greater question of whether we can logically determine the existence of God. Pascal believes that arguments for god may be logical, but they prove above anything else that god doesn’t care and why would we want to believe in someone that doesn’t care?

Advances in medical technology mean that pregnant women can choose to have tests during pregnancy to predict whether the fetus has characteristics that suggest abnormalities. Although birth defects are rare, the most common of those that do occur are the chromosome disorders Trimosies 13, 18, and 21, commonly known as Patau Syndrome, Edward Syndrome and Down Syndrome respectively (SOFT – Support Organization for Trisomy 18, 13 and related disorders) (n.d.).
