Socialism

Everyone pays a large part of their income (taxes) so the government can provide certain critical services (i.e., health care) equally to all citizens

Government controls the economy, has many regulations, is primary employer

Belief that the government exists to protect citizens and ensure equal health, wealth, and safety for all

Belief that people require a government to control what everyone does to ensure basic needs.

Resent toward rich, especially when 1% of population control 99% of the wealth.Many sick, poverty, homeless, jobless

Idealist writers that make socialism seem ideal

Gov. sponsored propaganda designed to make citizens like socialism. Citizens afraid to criticize gov. (fear they will loose their jobs)Many who were in great need live better

When a gov. gets too powerful, individual rights can be lost.

Lack of competition results lower quality products & services, & lack of innovation

Economy stagnates

The belief and practice of honor killings is another extreme practice that creates divisions between the Muslin religion and other religions.

Some members of the Muslin religion support and accept the practice of honor killings. Non-Muslin members believe the act of honor killings should be illegal.

Family members of the woman accused of straying from traditional rules of chastity and fidelity select a brother, cousin, and or both to carry out the killing.

Muslim men feel as if the killings are justified because by doing so they restore honor to their families.

Some Muslim men

Killings committed by Muslim men against sisters, wives, daughters, or mothers suspected of straying from traditional rules of chastity and fidelity.

Citizens United Resisting Euthanasia, CURE Is about …

America’s oldest network solely devoted to combating euthanasia, and defending your right to receive treatment, especially when care is critical


CURE is a large organization that has strong beliefs about how to define death. CURE opposes many widely accepted medical practices about Living Wills, and interpreting death. This is a fragile social belief that divides many citizens.

1Founded in 1981, CURE is an international grassroots network of patient advocates from a wide range of professional, political and religious backgrounds bound together in a common cause: uncompromising opposition to euthanasia

2CURE provides educational materials designed to alert others to the growing danger of euthanasia.

4Educational Resources:“Brain Death”—The Hoax That Won’t Die : Whether you are classified as dead or alive depends on your attending physician’s concept of death. Euthanasia can be avoided by redefining death.

3Educational Resources:“DaNgeR—DNA”: Because the alternative for a patient in cardiac arrest is death, assuming access to CPR for all who need it is vital, some elderly people and other people who might benefit from CPR do not receive it.

5Educational Resources: Living Will—No! Will to Live—Yes!: the (Living) Will,” wrote the Washington Post’s B. d. Colen, “would authorize the murder of virtually anyone who filled out a Will, lost consciousness for a period of time, and would in some way be incapacitated on regaining consciousness.”
