.... today (Monroe 27). A study by the Harvard School of Public Health found as many as 70 percent of students at some college campuses binge drink. One-third of all schools surveyed reported bingeing by more than half the students (Kowalski 8). Many students feel they “know their limits, ” and can act responsibly while under the influence of alcohol. However, binge drinking affects speech, vision, balance, and judgment (Monroe 26).

.... Constitution of the United States of America and licensing restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere. However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns. In 1988 there were 9000 handgun related murders in America.

.... and a pessimistic person is dejected and downhearted. An optimistic outlook is most successful and radiant. Although everything has both pleasant and unpleasant attributes, a pessimist overlooks the positive and dwells on the negative. For example, if someone was to make an A on a test, a optimist would say “ good job,” when a pessimist would say “it was a very easy test anyway, and anyone could have passed it.” If a person gets diverged in pessimism he will become depressed and discouraged. A pessimist strives on negativity and sorrow. A pessimistic person scrutinizes himsel .....

.... they faced many problems such as brown-outs, increased inflation, more unemployment, and other economic setbacks. Thus, the economy and environment were handled separately with respect to the other. Of course, this upset many people and gave them a sense of insecurity in their jobs. Some said that the United States of America could not afford to preserve the environment and progress economically at the same time. In very recent times, those same critics have changed their stand and now believe that preserving and cleaning the environment while progressing economically are achieved mutuall .....

.... you are thrown into the real world. Not ever going through a rebellious stage in my life I have found that today at age eighteen, while I feel grown up and mature I feel the need to act like a child, not for any particular reason except I feel twenty-five and need a way to make myself become younger than I am. If I would have rebelled I would have already found myself by experiencing life to its fullest. Not doing so I have not been able to find what makes me the happiest in life, how I think about issues that are controversial and my opinions. Rebelling helps a person find out what the .....

.... a meal. Now dinner time is full of interruptions; the sounds of shouting and laughter from the Drew Carry show or a honk for the passing cars at the Sonic. No longer is there assurance in knowing that every member of your family will be present at the designation eating time. Refrigerators where mothers and wives once posted nightly menus describing delicious meals are now covered with marker boards and post it notes informing where each person has gone, all which seem a waste because there is no one there. Does the passing of this fad show? I think so. Just look at our society and ho .....

.... form living and thinking objects, along with sound, color, taste, etc... Atoms form life, consciousness, and the soul, and when our body dies there is nothing left of the latter except for its parts, which randomly become parts of other forms. Matter is never ending reality, only changing in its form. In the philosophical system developed by Irish philosopher George Berkeley, Idealism, Berkeley states that physical objects, matter, do not exist independent of the mind. The pencil that I am writing this essay with would not exist if I were not perceiving it with my senses, but in the dialogu .....

.... to learn the lesson that violence is successful. The negative consequences of violence are not often portrayed in violent programming. Most violent portrayals do not show the victim experiencing any serious physical harm or pain at the time violence occurs. For example, 47% of all violent interactions show no harm to victims, and 58% show no pain. Even less frequent is the depiction of any long-term consequences of violence. In fact, only 16% of all the programs studied portray the long-term negative consequences of violence, such as psychological, financial, or emotional harm. One .....

.... that his works were and are so popular. "Shakespeare pushed a lot of buttons in his day- which is one reason he was so phenomenally popular. Despite what they tell you, people like having their buttons pushed" (Macrone 6). Because his works contained so many of these profane words or phrases, they were censored to protect the innocent minds of the teenagers who are required to read them, and also because they were blasphemous and offensive. Almost all of the profanity was removed, and that that was not had just reason for being there. Some of the Bard's censored oaths are; "God .....
