In order to answer this question, all they need to do is look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as written by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1949. This declaration outlines everything that UN stands for and their mission as an international co... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: When Grandma killed a chicken: 4 of 37
I remember so many family dinners at Grandma and Grandpa's farm when I was little. My parents worked in the city, so we lived a bit too far for regular visits, but those rare summer days on the farm meant more to me than any day playing in a fenced-in yard at home. I can still smell the fried chicken, fresh bread, and mashed ... More..
Education > Secondary School Issues Should high school students be required to volunteer in community service projects?: 6 of 55
High school students are impressionable and in the process of forming values which will last their entire lives. The most effective way to educate the whole child is to prepare a student and guide him or her in developing his or her values.

Education > Education (Other) Why cell phones should be banned in the classroom: 5 of 44
Imagine being a first year teacher and being called to the superintendent's office, where you are informed that a student has taken a picture with her cell phone while you were writing on the board. The picture is of your far-from-tiny butt, and this student has sent it to all of her friends. After her friends got it, a text ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Hunger, Disease & Poverty Slavery past and present: 2 of 17
Slavery is a human rights issue that most Americans view as a dirty part of our history, that we have moved past. Since the Emancipation Proclamation, we have felt ourselves distant from the sins of buying and selling human beings. This is not true. Next to drugs, human trafficking is the most prevalent form of illegal tra... More..
Relationships & Family > Family Life Losing a baby: An aunt's experience: 1 of 8
One April day in 2006, my sister's life was forever changed. She was about four months pregnant, and walked into the doctor's office, expecting to learn the sex of her baby. The news she received was dramatically different. The baby's umbilical cord had been wrapped around its neck, and the doctors would have to induce labor.... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips Should good grades be rewarded with cash?: 5 of 36
Offering monetary compensation for good grades may be effective for some children, but not for others. The trick is to find out which means of motivation work best for your child. Educators are taught about two means of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation involves a person's sense of s... More..
Arts & Humanities > The World Wars Should the Allied powers in World War II have bombed Auschwitz?: 5 of 36
To bomb Auschwitz would have been the same as yelling to Hitler, "Hey, let's help you out a bit. We'll kill a lot more Jews at once than you've been doing!" It would have made the Nazis' job easier, for bombing this place would have killed even the Jews whom the Nazis chose to spare for labor purposes! Yes, some of the Nazis ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Development Issues Are imaginary friends good for children?: 4 of 26
When I was in first grade, I had just moved to a new school for the third time in my short career as a student. That's when I "met" Garla (I think this was a variation of my grandfather, Garland's, name). I distinctly remember what Garla looked like. Her chestnut hair was always in sausage curls and she wore a nightgown that ... More..
Hobbies & Games > Yarn & Needle Crafts Why men who can sew are sexy: 2 of 12
As a theatrically minded person, I have found myself attempting to sew on several occasions, either for a Halloween costume (I have never quite outgrown playing dress up), a show, or a costume party thrown by some of my friends from college theatre. It was at one of these parties when I met a man of muscular build, with dark ... More..
