Nihilism in the Arguments and Theories of Friedrich Nietzsche
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing Nietzsche and the concept of nihilism within his work. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is probably best known for his works on nihilism; the belief that all values, truths and morals which have been constructed by man are baseless including those within the Bible. Nietzsche did not originally begin his work in the area in nihilism but throughout his own study and questioning of the theories of truth found in theology, the classics and philosophy which had always been readily accepted for centuries, he concluded that the eventual course of man would be that of nihilism. As man demands more answers through the field of science, many of the traditional theories and religious beliefs will be stripped away. At the same time, humans will begin to realize that they cannot meet the ideals of the invented truth and will not be able to transcend into that “higher world”. Despair follows and man must return to nature and a time of humanity where the invented concepts of “good” versus “evil” are no longer relevant. Beliefs are then based on the singular concepts of each person living each day. However, these ideas are contrary to societal beliefs and the basic structure of society and therefore society as we know it will be destroyed. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

No Place for Religious Prayer in Public Schools
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses the issue of school prayer in America and makes the argument that there is no place for school prayer in a public school. From the time an American child is in the first or second grade he/she has learned that “America is a melting pot of people.” This means different religions and beliefs as well as ethnicity. Apart from the creative connotations children have made from that phrase, they are indoctrinated with the idea that one of the things that makes the United States both more unique and stronger than other countries is the fact that so many different people of so many different backgrounds have contributed to the ways in which America has evolved. Those different viewpoints have ostensibly led to a collective attitude of tolerance and respect. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
