Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues African-Americans are really free: 1 of 33
Why are African Americans among the slowest to seize the opportunities that are abundant in these United States? Is it because they are barred and prevented by external forces from doing so?

Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture America has lost track of its moral principles: 3 of 29
Morality is not relative, and America has not lost track of its moral principles.

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God only known for what He's done or for what He is?: 3 of 23
Does anyone know who God is? In actuality we can never know God by the definition we have of God, which is all bound up with Greek philosophy.

"Reading maketh a man," so goes the old saying. And in today's world, society needs more than just a man; society needs a man who is accurate and trustworthy.

Should a woman have the right to choose abortion? I am not sure the question is phrased properly, but I think I understand its intent.

The question is clear, but I wonder if the intent of the question is. An ovum is not a person, nor can it be. An ovum is simply the mass of cells produced by a female each month that has the potential, through fertilization to become a human life. Theoretically, it has been said that the ovum can become a human being if so... More..
Sciences > Psychology Considering unhappiness as the result of external circumstances: 2 of 9
Unhappiness is the result of the human being seeking to grasp something that they do not yet fully understand. But it must not be denied that external circumstances play a large role in people's happiness. Too many people see "happiness" as the goal of life, when it really is not. Happiness is not a goal; rather, it is a by-... More..
Arts & Humanities > Literature (Other) Why readers are drawn to fictional characters: 1 of 1
Fiction is a popular literary genre that can be used in many ways, ultimately intended to entertain, and to inform. Fables are fictional, since animals do not speak the languages of human beings. Parables are believed to be fictional as well, but several of Jesus' parables had their genesis in real-life events. One of the po... More..
