...problem is perpetuated because Gypsies place such a low value on traditional education. Many Gypsies teach their children the traditional music and dance of the Gypsy people, but literacy is not highly valued. This means that Gypsies cannot respond articulately to the negative stereotypes that are circulated in the media of the countries they inhabit. Because of these unique circumstances, both Europeans and Americans should be sensitive to how they treat the subject of Gypsies...
Discrimination against Gypsies is an issue that many Westerners either partake in or completely ignore, yet American indifference allows the cycle of discrimination against Gypsies to perpetuate itself in Europe. While Gypsies may not have the education or political clout to take a stand for themselves, the West cannot ignore the blatant racism and violence directed toward what is the largest minority group in Europe...
...their efforts to bear fruit. Such privileging of autonomy extends from a series of judgments latent in contemporary common wisdom about morality—first, that each person should be free to pursue his desires so long as he does not harm anyone else; second, that such desires cannot be judged inferior to those of someone else.

Public option or not, finding some way to extend care to the uninsured requires at least some sacrifice by those who are adequately covered under...

While objectors rightly note that inaction hurts the uninsured, precisely because the currently comfortable might intend no harm, this complaint proves relevant but non-essential. In our modern mindset, sacrifice...

During Ramadan, fast-breaking dinners are regularly held at the Pentagon and other military installations. Because Muslims cannot eat or drink from dawn to dusk during their holy month, dining facilities have opened earlier and closed later in war zones to accommodate their beliefs. In short, the right steps have been taken to make Muslims feel as comfortable as possible in a fighting force waging two wars against Islamic...
