if you were a parent, would you buy a doll that misrepresent your values?So the Barbie doll, sold in many stores around the world, is normally white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is also very skinny. If you notice, when Barbie is advertised they do not advertise black, or colored, barbies. The dolls show act of racism and discrimination ,so ill not buy it !.
should handgun be illegal?no,because if guns are illegal people can not defend them self from a crime or a criminal.
should schools have a vocational track?I think that high schools could benefit from having a vocational track, because it would allow students who aren't going for college/university degrees to more easily get prepared for their future careers.However, some might argue that this could pull away some students who were otherwise motivated to shoot for a college degree.

Macbeth starts the play as a hero and ends up a tyrant. Does this mean there are no truly evil people and power corrupts, or just that some people have bad judgment when choosing heroes?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lady Macbeth is often hailed as the source of Macbeth’s evil, but she never talks about her own gain. Even when she should be all happy as queen, she takes her own life. Is Lady Macbeth just caught in fate here? Was she just trying to do the good thing by being a supportive wife? Is good in the eye of the beholder?
Good (and evil) IS dependent upon the person witnessing it.
The three witches, the weird sisters, are also often blamed for planting the seed of treachery in Macbeth’s mind – yet the root of the word “wyrd” goes back to the Anglo Saxon word for “fate.” Does one only need to think a thing is fate to make it happen? How much personal agency does one have against fate?
If one is convinced enough that something is fate, it IS likely to happen. It's the reason Voodoo works on believers. As well as why placebos often work.

A modern day comparison macbet and scar (lion king),
either to the theme or a character. Explain the similarities Macbeth was a very greedy and unhappy man. Everyone in todays modern world fits the Macbeth mold in one sense or another.There is not a living being that has never fallen prey to peer pressure, greed or jealousy.
Macbeth had many dreams and wishes of ruling over Scotland. He was a very ambitious man.His desires and visions of being King seemed possible and achievable. With the influences of his wife and the foresights of the three witches, Macbeth realized that his dreams could become reality. Selfishly, not thinking of others, Macbeth committed murder to become King. He killed Duncan, the King of Scotland. Macbeth was a very greedy and thoughtless person.
Scar, from the "Lion King" also fits the Macbeth mold.Scar was very jealous of his brother Mufassa who was the King. Scar could only dream and wish of someday becoming ruler over the Pride Lands. If he ever did become King Scar knew that Mufassa and his son Simba would have to be out of the picture.Scar had many plans and tried many times to kill Simba, but it never worked. He finally came up with a plan that would kill both Mufassa and Simba. He planned that the two of them would be caught in the middle of a horrible stampede.
Simba escaped safely from the stampede but Mufassa was trapped. He managed to climb up a cliff. Scar was at the top of the cliff. Mufassa reached out his paw to his brother for help.Instead of pulling his brother up, Scar drove his nails into Mufassa's paw.Mufassa fell and was killed.
Simba ran to his father. Scar cme up behind Simba and told him that he was the cause of his father's death.Scar encouraged Simba to flee from the Pride Lands and never return. Simba took his uncle advice and ran away, he was followed by three murderers hired by Scar. Simba made it to safety and lived in the jungle.
Scar became King and enjoyed the time that he ruled very much, although none of the other animals had any respect for him. In the end of the story Simba returned to discover that Scar had killed his father. Scar was killed.
