Hi, this is Mark Whiting, sophomore currently enrolled at UTA, which is located in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. I was born and raised in Texas, with a brief interlude in Cleveland. I am all about the music, I love it. I play the piano, and can squeeze a few notes out of the sax. I have an awesome family, and they are fun. So I didn't really want to put my papers on the internet, but it was fun making a webpage, and I doubt a whole lot of people are going to read my papers anyway. Feel free to explore all the links and see my classmates papers, there are some interesting topics to read about.

The first three paper's that I wrote are all about legalizing gay marriage, its consequences, and its affects on the population. On those pages you can click on links to see what some other people had to say in response to my papers. It may not be explicitly stated, but my points aren't really about legalizing gay marriage, but about equality, love, and the rights and security of all children with parents. The fourth paper is about the battle between the Recording Industry Association of America and every one else who downloads music off the internet illegally.

The following links will take you to papers I've written. To see my classmates works, please click on the Student Webfolios link.

* Recently I had the chance to visit Eli's Gallery, located in the West End, and see a few paintings by one of DFW's most inspiring up and coming artists, Ivan Vesely. Check out his web site here here.
