Transcendentalism
... believed in order to comprehend the divine, God, and the universe one must transcend or go beyond the physical and emotional description of normal human thought.
That you must go to the level of the soul and once there it is believed that all people have access to divine inspiration and sought and loved freedom and knowledge and truth.
The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspirationm and in ecstasy. He wishes that the spiritual principle should be suffered to deomonstrate itself to the end, in all possible app ...

History Of Police Corruption
... Kappeler, Sluder, and Alpert point out that corruption among police is not new or peculiar to the late 20th century. "To study the history of police is to study police deviance, corruption and misconduct." (Kappeler et al., 1994.)
While corruption has been a consistent and pervasive problem in law enforcement, the nature of corrupt activity has changed dramatically over the years. The trend to "professionalize" police forces through improved recruitment, training, salaries, and working conditions has resulted in fewer corrupt officers who, unfortunately, are now involved in more serious criminal activities. Low-level passive forms of corruption (i.e., syste ...

International Court Of Justice
... by his own 200-man private army and a sub-unit of the Taliban, a quasi-religious organization operating within Afghanistan’s borders (MSNBC, 10/12/99). The United States, backed by other nations who have had terrorist attacks related to Bin Laden, appealed to the United Nations Security Council to call for the extradition of Osama Bin Laden for trial.
In response to the request, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1267 on October 15, 1999. The resolution called for sanctions to be placed on Afghanistan effective November 14, 1999 unless the Taliban turned over suspected terrorist Osama Bin Laden to the appropriate authorities. B ...

Amateur Wrestling VS. Professional Wrestling
... which real wrestling does not see very much of even though professional wrestling is one of the most publicized events in America.
A professional wrestler due to the high promotion factors always seems to have a name that everyone knows, like “Hulk” Hogan. On the other hand, a real wrestler will have a normal name like yours or mine and eventually will probably pick up a couple nicknames from teammate’s. Another factor differing professionals from amateurs is their build. Professionals usually take the “muscle bound” or the “I am just a fat slob” approach into the wrestling world. Amateurs go for the best all around shape, meaning strength, endurance and flexibi ...

Near Death Experiences
... subject is Dr. Raymond Moody. During the year of 1975, he published a book, Life After Life, explaining his newfound concept of a Near Death Experience. He heard about a specific case study that extremely intrigued him. “As a student, Raymond Moody heard about the experience of a psychiatrist who had ‘died’ from double pneumonia only recovering after his doctor had pronounced him dead to his family.” This remarkable case stunned Raymond Moody, and after publishing his book, this case intrigued society. This particular psychiatrist went on to write about his Near Death Experience, but Dr. Moody was the first to research this unkn ...

Pain
... this could be someone
who goes to school, but doesn’t work, fails, and consequently ends up
without a job, and feels miserable. This situation could have been
avoided, if the person had worked hard at school. This demonstrates the
fact that misery can be due to major losses or failures. Therefore even
though insignificant causes of pain are inevitable, the things that mean
the most can be maintained, and misery is optional.
Pain can in some ways be prevented, with the help of preventative
measures like wearing a seat belt in a car, a wearing a helmet and pads
before going out biking. Even though these measures are applied, there
are some ...

Male, Female, And Religion
... Islamic womanhood. Many of these elements are directly related to the religion of Islam itself, such as past and present legal realities, roles permitted and enforced as a result of Muslim images of women, and the variety of Islamic and hetero-Islamic rites and practices in which Islamic women have traditionally participated. The Holy Quran (sometimes transliterated as "Koran") still forms the basis of prevailing family law in most areas of the Muslim world. It has always been and still is considered to be the last in a series of divine revelations from God given in the seventh century C.E. to humanity through the vehicle of his prophet Muhammad. The Quran is ...

Violence In Sports
... some
sports are too violent and they're trying to take the violence away by banning
them. What they don't realize is that there are billions of fans that are
obsessed by those sports and by taking a sport away from them, could ruin their
lives. Trying to stop the violence is almost like trying to declare world peace.
There will always be someone who either picks a fight or builds an underground
organization. Football, hockey, soccer, and all those other violent sports will
be practiced until the end of the world. Another reason why I don't want these
sports to be cut is because when you practice a sport like football it helps you
release all that frustration ...

What Is An American
... rights you are expected to be responsible and not abuse them. One right that you shouldn’t abuse is your right to vote. This is something that many of us take for granted. Having to make this choice you are expected to make the responsible decision. The only person that it would hurt if you don’t take this type of thing seriously is yourself. Along with this privilege of voting on whom you want to run our country, you are then expected to take the responsibility to fight in war if ever needed. This is just a small price to pay for the right to decide of whose running the country. J Rockefeller Jr. describes this good in this quote, "I believe ...
