Org, 79% of patients requested assisted suicide even before they came terminally ill –if it got to that point.

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Jane Austen's personal experiences can be seen through the influence presented in her novel Pride and Prejudice. Austen grew up in the Victorian Era, a time period where women were socially and economically immobile, with the exception of marriage. Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice suggests that society is separated into a diversity of unfair and unequal socio-economic classes which still persists today. This is most evident in the lack of access to quality education for many members of lower socio-economic groups in the United States.
The Victorian Era heavily relied on a social structure that created socio-economic diversity …

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
One out of every five adults in the United States has a disability. That is about 63.976 million people, yet, ableism is a common type of discrimination.
