Creative Writing > Satire Satire: Self improvement

2 of 22

I need to be better. I need to be bigger, faster, and stronger than the competition. I need to be more attractive and wealthier than my peers. I'm not as healthy or as smart as I should be. My sex life could definitely use some enhancement. If you don't believe me, just ask the television. Ask the media. Ask our doctors and ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore The truth about Zombies

5 of 10

The Dead Among Us The dead walk among us; I've seen them, and you have too whether you realize it or not. Considering their abundance, you might even be one of them. I've seen them, sluggishly slithering through the public, dragging their feet. Their blank eyes stare past everything as they seek satisfaction, their arms outs... More..

Entertainment > Music Business How old is too old to make it in the music business?

4 of 8

This is a tricky question because the answer depends on how you define "making it." To some people, making it in the music business is simply playing constant local gigs and selling enough copies of their self-produced CD to pay the bills. You can make a living through hard work and love for your art form, but this doesn't p... More..

Where do thoughts come from? What happens within the body when emotions are felt? Does the human mind exist as a sole entity, or does it have a distinct connection to the brain?

Jobs & Careers > Employment Law Equal rights in the workplace

4 of 7

Personally, I agree with Thomas Jefferson that "all men are created equal... with certain unalienable rights." Therefore, I believe in diversity at the workplace and equal rights for all who bend over backwards for the same employer. Anyone who works just as hard as their co-workers deserves equal treatment; that's common se... More..

Education > College Courses & Majors Pursuing a career in forensic psychology

3 of 4

What exactly is forensic psychology? First, lets agree on what it is not: the glamorous action portrayed by Hollywood.

Many students are attracted to forensic psychology because they want to be criminal prof... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Pitfalls of perfectionism

9 of 11

Somewhere, along the information highways, in the entertainment cities, among the media mountains, somebody will tell you what "perfect" is in any context. They will tell you how to get the perfect body, how to achieve your ideal body weight, what your proper diet consists of. They'll say that practice makes perfect to get a... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Is the American dream open to everyone

29 of 35

In order to determine if the American Dream is open to everyone, we must first define the term. This proves to be quite a difficult task in a diverse democracy. America is a nation founded by immigrants and populated by a spectrum of people with various ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds. Despite the influence of our ... More..

Health & Fitness > Drug Legislation & Safety Should drug companies be regulated more than they are now

3 of 3

In the United States, it's no secret that the public health care situation is a mess. Many people in need of medication cannot get health insurance.
