Living In Virtual Reality
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. What would it be like to live in total virtual reality? Some believe it is the answer to all the world's ills, in that war, hunger and disease could all be programmed out of existence. With such power over these otherwise detrimental entities, life would be absent of all things negative and harmful. However, others contend that programming one's existence from a ready-made set of experiences leaves no possibility for the unknown, the challenging or the inherent element of human disappointment.

Past Life Regression and Reincarnation
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page informative speech discussing past life regression and reincarnation, focusing on evidence supporting the notion of past lives. The bottom line is that close inspection of the reasons underlying individual reactions to fears, personal prejudices and other points that collectively define any specific individual can be beneficial in addressing personal issues in the here and now. Whether these individuals truly are relating the events of past lives cannot be absolutely verified or measured, but evidence suggesting their veracity is strong. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Scientific Argument Against ESP
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page research paper that investigates the history of research into the existence of extra sensory perception (ESP). The writer argues that research studies, in particular the study conducted by Wiseman and Greening (2002), prove conclusively that belief in ESP is the modern day equivalent of consulting an oracle, that is, research has shown that there is no reliable scientific evidence for the existence of ESP. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Telepathic Communication
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper seeking theoretical support for the
existence of telepathy and then evidence of its existence. Some experience telepathic
events but rarely if ever speak of the event, fully convinced they have been involved in
telepathic communication. Still others seek to research it, separate reality from wishful
thinking and give credence to its existence. The mechanism of telepathy remain unclear,
and of course others are adamant that it does not even exist. Those who claim to have
had direct and personal experience with telepathic communications remain absolutely
convinced that telepathy is very real. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
