Guilty Richard

Richard is a high school student and an editor of the schools newspaper staff. Jen attends the same school as Richard and works on the newspaper staff as a reporter. When being assigned to a story, Jen claims Richard sexually harassed her. She claimed that Richard touched her without permission and felt uncomfortable. Some say that Richard had no reason to become sexually involved with Jen because he had a “hotter” girlfriend. However, men and women have been known to cheat on their significant others all the time. Being based on the human urge to ‘want-what-you-cannot-have,’ cheating is usually a weekly occurrence. Richard is guilty of sexually harassing Jen. She felt uncomfortable and was placed in a hostile environment; two descriptions of sexual harassment by the Civil Rights Act of 1961, Title VII.

Leagalization Of Drugs

A drug is a drug, no matter its purpose. In a way it is kind of like stealing: never black and white but mere shades of gray. I am against hard, mind-altering, drugs but not against the simple, present-legal drugs. Now legal drugs have made a difficult life easier. Small inconvient aches and pains no longer slow one down. Some say that all drugs should be illegal because they are bad for the body. However, with these “bad drugs” becoming illegal, then the “good drugs” that helps us through out the day (Excedrin, Alive, Aspirin, Stuff-for-Inhalers, ect.) will also become illegal. So the real question is can we live with the bad as well as the good? I know I can. That is why I’m for the legalization and continue legalization of drugs.

Viva La Rock-N-Roll

When it comes to Rock & Roll, there are mixed emotions on its originality. Some people feel that the music rejuvenates the soul and helps them unlockinner emotions. While other people say that it is not music but noise. However, these same people throw paint on a canvas, smear it around witha stick and call that art. Whatever their position, I know mine and thatis along side of that “noise,” unlocking my own emotion in an healthy, naturalway, with out hurting myself or others.

Slim Girl And Dinè Culture

Slim Girl, from the novel Laughing Boy, seems to want to care about Dinèculture. In chapter nine of the novel, Slim Girl is described as being “impatientlypatient with the dying and spinning” of wool (pg81). Some say she does notcare about the culture and does the weaving for only money, “We shall commandmoney, money will command everything” (pg83-84). However, I see the effortshe is really trying to make in her weaving “You will be able to put my nextblanket under your saddle, and be proud of it” (pg83). Since weaving isa major part of Dinè culture, I think that Slim Girl is trying to care abouther culture.
