Another thing that alcohol will do to me is it will subject me too memory loss. I think its common sense that after a night of drinking it is very hard to remember what you did or what you didn’t do. Alcohol also has the ability to take my money and make me poor. If I were to allow myself to be buying alcohol on a steady basis, it will become a great way for me to lose all my money as my life matures. As a college student I obviously need all the money I can get so I think .....

Teenagers know that steroids will help them build muscle but they don’t know about the side effects and the long-term effects. Teenagers have a hard time looking ahead to the near future, never mind much later in their lives. But society continues to tell the youths of today that society wants muscular physiques. Pick up any teen or muscle magazine and everybody inside will have a perfect sculpted body. There are people that have a hard time working out or have no m .....

Issues Of Assisted Suicide
Number of words: 1094 - Number of pages: 4.... not the help to die. They do not know the reason why they want to commit suicide they just find reasons to get the easy way out. Assisted Suicide should not be legalized because it is religiously wrong, because it is unethical and because it is MURDER.
Assisted suicide is wrong in the eyes of God because suicide is a sin. Thomas Aquinas documented the Christian beliefs on suicide as “ It violates one’s natural desire to live, it harms other people and life is the gift from God and is thus only to be taken by God”. According to F. Schaeffer and C. Koop, “Every life is precious .....

Abortion Is Murder
Number of words: 781 - Number of pages: 3.... adulthood, many of us here are not adults yet -- and by that definition, it wouldn't matter if your shot and killed on the street because "your not fully developed". We are a stage in development -- teenager -- just like a child is, just like a toddler is, just like an old man is, and just like a aborted child is. There is no magical transformation that occurs when a child is born. He has the same basic needs to survive before he is born, and the same needs after he is born.
The negative is going to attempt to make you believe that the differnce in quality of a unborn child is so great t .....

Dreams
Number of words: 676 - Number of pages: 3.... proposed the
activation-synthesis hypothesis. Their neurological research indicates that
large brain cells in the primitive brain stem spontaneously fire about every 90
minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the BRAIN. As a
consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain
are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to
make some sense of it. This, according to the research, gives rise to the
experience of a dream. Now, as in the past, the most significant controversy
centers on the question of whether dreams have .....

Family Practice: Summary
Number of words: 409 - Number of pages: 2.... called, "Learn to use contracts." With
this step the family makes contracts with one another and then monitors and up
dates them so often. This helps with everybody holding to their end of the deal
when it comes to the family issues. One of the worst steps of all is, "Stop the
"Good Guy-"Bad Guy, " routine. I feel that having someone to blame for every
problem that arises can devastate a child. Parents need to think about what they
are going to say before they say it. The last step is, "Get rid of old emotional
Baggage," I have personal experience in this category. I had a hard time .....

AIDS - What's New ?
Number of words: 3362 - Number of pages: 13.... pandemic which killed over 21 million people,
including 50,000 Canadians. Having been lulled into false security by
modern antibiotics and vaccines about our ability to conquer infections,
the Western world was ill prepared to cope with the advent of AIDS in 1981.
(Retro- spective studies now put the first reported U.S. case of AIDS as
far back as 1968.) The arrival of a new and lethal virus caught us off
guard. Research suggests that the agent responsible for AIDS probably
dates from the 1950s, with a chance infection of humans by a modified
Simian virus found in African green monkeys. .....

Drug Dependence
Number of words: 203 - Number of pages: 1.... drugs. Many of the adverse health effects associated with the use of
tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs result from long-term use caused by
substance dependence (i.e., addiction)---a cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and
physiological symptoms indicating sustained psychoactive substance use despite
substance-related problems. In addition, substance dependence is characterized
by repeated self-administration that usually results in tolerance, withdrawal,

cigarettes and other forms of tobacco that accounts .....
