Family A Tough Bond To Break
Number of words: 759 - Number of pages: 3.... Telemacus. He must venture to the land of the dead (Rieu p 160). The only important thing in Odysseus’ life is returning to his family in Ithaca.
Having the same feelings his father possesses, Telemacus’ only desires are to keep his mother from marrying one of the many suitors and acquiring knowledge of his father. He must do this because he knows that if his father is dead, he must return to Ithica to fight the suitors alone (and eventually be killed). His other choice is to stay away from Ithica all together and lose the respect of his people and do harm to his fathers name. To .....

Ethics And Engineering
Number of words: 759 - Number of pages: 3.... the public. The only concern of an
engineer cannot be to make a bridge as sound as possible in a certain budget.
If the people are to be crossing over this bridge, an engineer must also
consider if it is possible to truly make this bridge safe within the allotted
budget. He must not think purely of the technical aspects of the bridge making,
but of the human side. Statements like "Is it safe?" should be replaced by "Is
the bridge safe enough?" Whenever one's work involves the public, one must be
concerned for the public's health and safety.
Professionals today must make judgement call .....

Number of words: 620 - Number of pages: 3.... certificate, it is only temporary. Unless you go back to school within six teaching years of graduation and complete another 24 credits, your teaching certificate can be taken away. The fourth point of the Carnegie Forum on Education Report states we should recruit minority students into teaching through federal fellowship.

The other points made in the Carnegie Forum on Education Report do not represent a dramatic shift in the way things are .....

Punishment
Number of words: 479 - Number of pages: 2.... become a serious crime in America today. We hear of rape crimes at least one every five minutes here in America. Like murder most of these crimes are committed by teenagers. I think that convicting a young teenager of this crime and declaring them mentally insane is ludicrous. They should ban such ways for escaping the of such a brutal crime. As the saying from the Bible goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." We must stop the ways of escaping the system and get back to the basics of disciplinary action.
Drugs is a problem no matter where one goes in America. We see them in schools, .....

Alfarabi And Aristotle: The Four Causes And The Four Stages Of The Doctrine Of The Intelligence
Number of words: 1410 - Number of pages: 6.... of the Inhabitants of a Virtuous City, where he laid down a
philosophical, religious, and social system for the humanity at large; a system
that sought to break barriers and facilitate relations among people and nations.
This work sounded very similar to the work presented by Plato in Plato's
Republic. They both took into consideration the matter of city/state, who was
to govern, who was to be governed, how this governing was to take place, how it
was to be enforced, and so on. It also appears clear that he was influenced
greatly by Aristotle. This influence is present in his "Doctrine .....

Meat Packing Industry And The
Number of words: 538 - Number of pages: 2.... to America in search of a better life. While they are there they looked for work in Chicago and came across meatpacking. Unsanitary techniques that were put into the massive machines were literally disgusting. As before poisoned rats and workers turning into lard was an everyday thing that the workplace encountered. More disgusting things like using whole cows as ground beef or whole pigs grinned into sausage. Not one scrap of meat went to waist when the workers put animals in the grinders. Pools of blood and bathrooms like sewers are the last type of job environment I wouldn't want to be i .....

Teenage Pregnancy 2
Number of words: 1042 - Number of pages: 4.... over our money to the young families.
Next, to even begin to come up with a solution to this problem, one must identify the cause of it. Is irresponsibility of young adults the only reason for this growing problem? Why are more and more teenagers becoming pregnant as time goes on? And why hasn't this been such a big problem thirty years ago?
All deserving speculation, there are many possible reasons why teenage Americans are becoming unwed mothers. First of all, today's kids are not being taught morality like they used to. Politician, Alan Keys, says that children are not getting the .....

Piece Of The Pie
Number of words: 1862 - Number of pages: 7.... paying them extraordinary salaries. While this may be a valid
concern, the regulations are most often carried out to ridiculous lengths which
ultimately do not serve the purpose they are intended to have. For example,
Northwestern University has an aspiring young actor named Darnell Autry who also
happens to be the starting running back for the University's football team.
Darnell was offered a role, based entirely on his acting abilities, in a major
network's sitcom. The NCAA nearly forbid him from accepting this offer based on
the regulations against athlete employment. Darn .....
