Animal Rights
People have rights, and animals should as well. "All animals should be born with an equal claim on life" (Hurley). Why should they be less deserving of equal rights than us? Many people argue that humans are more intelligent than animals. We are all animals, and it is not necessary to have a certain level of intelligence to possess rights (Hurley). Inflicting suffering is wrong to other humans, most times punished by jail time. Neglecting an animal by depriving it of food, water, or medical attention is a misdemeanor penalized by fines or jail time (Hurley). The logic behind it is distressing and egotistical. It is almost as if we are justifying racism and prejudice (Hurley). There are many popular forms of animal amusement. Just to name a few, cockfighting, dog, and bull battling are various popular types. "Animal abuse was very common throughout the nineteenth century" (Hurley). "When people hunt, eat, experiment, or capture animals we are violating animal rights" (Hurley). Animals, like humans should be able to possess rights. Animal zoos are a large form of animal entertainment. The only real purpose is to entertain people and make money. Whenever you go to a zoo you can see that the animals are bored and restless (Hurley). They do not have the freedom and movement of their natural habitat they are obviously deprived of (Hurley). "To confine animals is to basically put
Annotated bibliography
Annotated bibliography Huggonson, D 2001, 'Nurse education for rural and remote Aborigines', Submission to National Review of Nursing Education, Weston, ACT, pp.1-5. The author, a researcher and consultant from Canberra Australian Capital Territory, discusses the socio-economic position of Indigenous people in rural and remote Australia has not significantly improved. The remoteness makes the recruitment of registered nurses to serve in these communities very problematic. The author says the top-down method of government strategy is not running well. The author suggests the bottom-up approach would have a much better chance of success because Indigenous people will be able to manage the resources by themselves due to the local ownership role. The author also suggests that the university can manage a program based on local hospital training to educate Indigenous nurses. Armstrong, F 2004, 'Deadly: Indigenous health today', Australian Nursing Journal, vol.12, no.5, pp.16-19. The author, the former Chair of the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance (AHCRA), discusses that health inequalities between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians still persist.

Narrative Essay
Bobby Meyers Karla Larson College Writing, Section 017 Narrative Final Draft September 25th, 2008 Goosebumps in July My friend Al needed some clothes last summer, so we decided to go to the mall. It wasn't a busy day, but it was a hot day. So hot in fact, that we were both feeling lazy, and didn't want to walk very far in the heat if we could help it. After driving around the parking lot on a quest for a close spot like any lazy person, we found one. It was a good spot in the Kohl's parking lot, but it wasn't perfect. The problem with the stall was this: some arrogant BMW driver parked over the line. Luckily, a courteous, adjacent SUV driver parked far enough over that an empty area big enough for us was created. Al isn't the greatest driver, and as he was pulling into the spot, he "rubbed against" the BMW. I called the cops immediately, and then assessed the damage. Al's car had nothing more than a scratch on the 80's rubber-like bumper. The BMW on the other hand...looked ugly. The driver-side back door was pinched in by the rear fender. Blue paint chips were around the wheel. Chrome trim was peeled off, dangling over the blue-glistened hub cap. The worst part: the car alarm was going off. The shrill whine only amplified the fear of a psycho-upset BMW driver killing me before the cop arrived! The cop pulled up five minutes later, got out of his car, and
information technology
Information technology in our daily lives The most drastic alteration in our lives since the past few years is the penetration and massive progress of the Information technology which has become more of a necessity for us now rather than a facility. Information technology today has a completely distinct essence to it when compared with how it was perceived to be back in the day. The drastic changes that information technology has introduced in our lives have completely changed our lives and perhaps our lifestyles. Life has become much less manual and a lot hassle-free for people all around the globe that have active access to the innovations of information technology. (Baweja, pg23) Information technology is so closely attached with our lives today because half the efforts that we have to make in our daily lives in order to sustain and expand are now being done and completed by technological gadgets and machines. For instance, the innovative I Phone that can allow an individual to surf through the internet on the spot whenever he/she might need it for assistance and relevant information. Information technology literally refers to any development that mainly involves computer-based information systems comprising of software applications and the computer hardware. A more conventional and perhaps contemporary meaning of the information system is the use of electronic systems

The Stranger
Megan Harrison Mr. Davis The Stranger: A Study on the Purpose of Life Throughout Albert Camus's The Stranger, illustrates Meusault's belief on life through his day to day actions. Meursault lives, but he doesn't think too much about his day to day living. Life is not important to him; he is content to just exist. Meursault is introduced with the famous quote, "Mother died today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can't be sure." This reveals how unconcerned he is about his mother's death. He refuses to be part of the emotional world and doesn't regard the people in his life. He almost misses the bus on the way to the funeral and lazily borrows a black tie to wear. Throughout the whole funeral he doesn't express any emotion. Because of these actions people try to link them to the murder at the trial although his actions were completely irrelevant. Meursault is accused of being emotionless through swimming the day after the funeral rather than grieving for his mothers passing. He spends most of the next day sitting in bed smoking. He lives an empty life and simply goes through the motions. When he is chosen for a job opening in Paris he doesn't go because he doesn't feel the need. When Marie asks him if he loves her he replies stating love has no meaning. To Meursault life is not important. He believes emotions do not exist. He has no desire to prove his worth to other people. When
