Free persuasive essay: Censorship and the First Amendment: The American Citizen’s Right to Free Speech

February 13th, 2010

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

George Orwell

Adopted in 1791, the First Amendment, states that “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (Pilon, p. 13) The freedom of speech documented in the First Amendment is not only a constitutional protection, but also an inevitable part of democratic government and independence, which are essential values in our society. “Censorship,” according to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, “is an almost irresistible impulse when you know you are right” (Sunstein, p. 25). That is why the American citizen’s right to free speech is should be held as the highest virtue and any censorship of freedom of speech should not be allowed, but only respected.

Free persuasive essay: What am I going to do with my life?

February 11th, 2010

“One of the hardest choices any young person has to make is ‘What am I going to do with my life?’ and history is like a great buffet lunch of all kinds of choices that people have made with what they did with their lives…”

David McCullough

The history of XX century has proved that education is not only a right choice for a young person, but also it is an essential part of success in life and career. Every field of modern life demands the educated specialists to solve different problems facing our society. Democracy itself is based on educational values and proves the old statement “knowledge is power”. People need this power in order to decide what values are true for them and what are false, rather than blindly follow social convictions or someone else’s believes.

February 8th, 2010

Almost two hundred years ago, world literature was swarming. At this period of time the publishing business began to be profitable. People had more free time and that let them spend their pastime as they liked. The best entertainment of that time may be called reading. But it was quite different reading in comparison with previous epochs because if earlier people mainly created books which could be read only by few and the topics were not very interesting for an average person.

Free narrative essay: A lesson learned

February 3rd, 2010

A lesson learned… I wonder, is it at all possible to learn harsh lessons of our life? Indeed, in most spheres of human activity we can hope to take our previous mistakes into consideration and avoid them in the future. But concerning human feelings, is it right to blame ourselves if it turns out that we had made a mistake by sincerely investing a part of us into a wrong person who has lead us into the devastating emotional state? And can we avoid such mistakes in the future without becoming desensitized? Confusion over these questions constitutes the kaleidoscope of my memory of Kim, the relationship with whom ended with the shattering argument over one of the most important questions – what is the nature of commitment between man and woman?

free sample essay: Boston Tea Party

January 19th, 2010

I would like to start by saying that the Boston Tea Party started on December 16, 1773, and was an event when the American (future US) patriots dressed as Mohawk Indians to distract the British, then boarded the British ships of the East Indian Company and then would throw the British tea off the ship into the Atlantic Ocean. The Boston tea part meant that the Americans would throw off over 350 chests of Ceylon tea that would cost over 12 thousand British pounds. In the following essay I would like to speak about the events that preceded the Boston tea party and about the actual consequences of the Boston tea party.

One should remember that the event that preceded the Boston tea party was the French and Indian war that was extremely costly for the British Empire. In order to raise quick cash, the British king George III would increase taxes in the American colonies after the end of the war in 1763 (Wiegand, 89).

Free narrative essay: Space Mountain

January 18th, 2010

It was a hot sunny day, when I finally took my kids to the Disney Land. My son Matthew and my daughter Audra endlessly asked me to show them the dream land of many children with Mickey Mouse and Snow-white walking by and arousing a huge portion of emotions. Somehow these fairy tale creatures can make children happy without such “small” presents as $100 Lego or a Barby’s house in 6 rooms and garden furniture. Therefore, I thought that Disney Land was a good invention for loving parents.
