The use of technology has resulted into a number of detrimental effects on users. In some cases, the increase use of technology especially for children who Continue reading...

I. Introduction
Federal benefits in the basis of marital status include social security as well as tax, employee and health benefits.

Recently, however, there has been an amendment to this Act which now will include same-sex couples in the provision.

Many of the stories in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales are bawdy or tragic tales of love in some form; characters are always falling in love, getting married, being tricked into getting married, sleeping with married people, and many other permutations of that central theme. In The Canterbury Tales the storytellers seem to focus on love and marriage but their perception of love and marriage seems to be different. For the most part, while love is the domain of men (n terms of the pursuit of amorous or courtly love), marriage is the domain of women (as they use Continue reading...

Hatred between white and black people was, and still is, the major impediment to an individual's spiritual development. In his essay, "Notes of a Native Son", James Baldwin shows that hatred for others turns inward, manifesting as self-hatred, taking form in a variety of manners, including racial prejudice. Conversely, Baldwin shows that self-hatred also extends outward, manifesting as hatred for others -- in Baldwin's case -- white people. Throughout the essay, Baldwin comes closer and closer to an epiphany, a realization that change in race relations is necessary, but only an open heart free of hatred can Continue reading...

Analysis of a common argument

While many, including teenagers, parents, teachers and counselors, can have long-lasting arguments on whether high-school students should have love relationships, it will not change the fact that the students will keep on dating and breaking up. Another inevitable truth can be found in statistics: only about 2 percent of high-school sweethearts marry after graduation (Manning). Nonetheless, although the early relationships between two most likely immature people will probably result in heartbreak, they can also have a very good impact on adolescents by preparing them for adult life and helping them figure out what they want and do not want Continue reading...

In his essay, ‘Discourse on the Origin of Inequality,’ Rousseau considers how man seeks freedom in the discourse and the social contract. However, the realization of liberty is hindered by supremacy of inequality and property, characteristic of capitalism as expressed by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto. The freedom expressed by Rousseau is not entirely political but also freedom from the need and psychological. In the novel, Their Eyes were Watching God, by Zara, the character Janie is in the journey to achieve freedom from male domination, true love and self-independence in a world of racism and female subordination.

There is a school of thought that communicating with others by email or SMS (text messaging) is a good thing, because it encourages some people – especially those who are shy or introverted – to communicate more readily and in a less inhibited way, than they would be inclined to do in a one-to-one situation face-to-face. A contrasting view is that whilst there might be some truth in that, the major disadvantage is that the consequent lack of direct personal contact hinders the development of interpersonal skills. It is also less likely that two individuals communicating entirely “electronically” would develop a Continue reading...
