Does Race Exist?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which argues that race does not exist. There is absolutely no physical or biological proof that race exists, and isn't the issue of race a biological one which states that one ethnic group is far different than another? Far too many people today are a vast mixture of many different ethnic backgrounds, and as such, there is little proof that there ever was anything valid in the racial assumptions. Race, for the most part, involves categorizing individuals based on physical structure, hair styles, clothes, and language. The literature provided illustrates that there is no proof that race, in the true sense of the word, exists. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Heroism and the Human Experience
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing heroism, humanity including the examples given in the lives of Hiltgunt Zassenhaus, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Jimmy Carter. Heroism has many different classical and modern definitions but the most acceptable and all inclusive are those definitions which include the fusion of mind and body. The mind of a hero can recognize basic human values which are being ignored and feels the need to defend them against adversity. The body of a hero is the action element which separates heroes from the rest of society. Heroes create positive actions in defence of basic human values despite the inaction of those around them. Modern day examples of real heroes can be seen in the lives of: Hiltgunt Zassenhaus who at the age of seventeen refused to raise her hand and speak “Heil Hitler” during the beginning of the Third Reich regime; Dietrich Bonhoeffer who also opposed the Nazi regime by protecting the Jews and conspiring to assassinate Hitler who eventually killed Bonhoeffer because of his involvement; and Jimmy Carter, who saw the injustices against African Americans in Georgia in 1962 despite legislation which ruled otherwise and decided to enter the political race to try and force humans to work together to attain a world of peace and justice. While theories of heroism are still being debated, Carl Jung believed that the psychological archetype of hero and warrior has always existed and always will exist in the collective unconscious of humans. The quality of the strength of individuals to overcome adversity and popular opinion continues in many aspects of culture and is used to inspire generations such as the inspirational messages found in Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” in which he asks that writers always follow their inner feelings. Overall, heroism is found in many forms but mostly it is found in people who not only intellectually are able to recognize injustices in the world but also are able to take action to defend human values and morals.
