Carter/”Just Be Nice”
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that is in reaction to “Just Be Nice,” Stephen L. Carter, which is an essay that calls for a return to civility and argues that the “protection of constructive and polite public discourse is essential to public morality and the common good” (Davis 689). Roger Williams, the seventeenth century Puritan leader who founded the colony of Rhode Island, emphasized the need for civility, as he argued that the “’term’ civility’ stands for basic moral norms that citizens hold in common” and this is a stance in which Carter concurs (Davis 689). Therefore, rude, vulgar speech that accosts one’s fellow citizens for no apparent reason is more than simply bad manners. It is a direct attack on the foundations of society itself. This point is proven by examining the functions that civility serves in society, and also by looking at the innate power of language. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Casinos as Leisure, Recreation, and Tourism: An Analysis of Clientele and Community Impacts
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page contention that casinos are not a healthy community option for recreation, leisure, and tourism. Casinos do not attract the well-heeled, upper-echelon representatives of society that they are often expected to attract. Instead, they often attract those in our society who can least afford to gamble. They also have the potential to increase crime in the community as a whole.
