Homosexuality And The Male Dancer There is a widespread reluctance to talk about dance and homosexuality, surely making it the dance that does not speak its name.

Over the years since then, a homosexua

Gender Roles In today’s growing population, gender roles are always playing major parts in our way of life.

Gender Roles In the article “Incarcerated Mothers” a lot of valid points and strong arguments are made. We learn in the beginning of the article that majority of the women in prison are mothers, and their needs are often neglected.

Laws Of Life For every person, life’s lesson are learned from the day they are born all the way up until the day that they die.

When school starts they learn colors, to count to ten, and

Abortion The article I chose is the ongoing concern of abortion in the world today. Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth. An abortion results in the death of an embryo or a fetus while destroying the lives of helpless, innocent children. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are only taking the easy way out of their responsibilities. They are finding a loop hole in life a

Love The Webster Dictionary defines love as “profoundly tender, a passionate affection for another person”. In my opinion, to love someone is to care not only about them as a person but also about their well being.
