Many people travel the easy, widely-known road, but he does not want to experience the same thing as everyone else does. He wants to experience something that no one else has. It is obvious that the traveler wants to be distinguished rather than to be included in a group. He deliberately takes “the one less traveled by”(Frost, line 19) to experience it himself, but not to accept it as what the majority think of. In contrast to Crane’s wayfarer, Frost’s traveler takes the road “because it was grassy and wanted wear”(Frost, line
Although the two characters start out from the same situation, they make decisions that are opposite and antithetical.
At the end, both characters achieve their own means truth. The character in The Wayfarer achieves truth in that he does what he wants to do, which is to find truth without facing any hardships and taking risks. He finds truth within the boundary of safeness and compliance. Although he gives up in taking the unknown, yet potential in rewarding path, he achieves truth from the safe path.

Since the strength of society depends on its middle class and its ability to keep people off the streets, the proposal should be rejected. For these reasons, the proposed Tenant Protection Act damages society as it attacks Ontarians appanage to affordable housing, restricts their movability and erodes the middle class. The change would take away positive intervention and let the nature of the markets decide a redistribution of wealth.
Many would live on the land owned by an elite few. This is not equitable so government intervention in the markets must remain. When the majority of peoples happiness and values are protected against the advantageous elite, then that is a sign that a society is just.

The state moved for judgment on the pleadings and for dismissal of the complaint for failure to state a claim; the state’s motion was granted in October, 1991. Thus, the circuit court upheld the heterosexuality marriage requirement as a matter of law and dismissed the plaintiffs’ challenges to it. Yet recently the Circuit Court of Hawaii decided that Hawaii had violated Baehr and her partner’s constitutional rights by the fourteenth amendment and that they could be recognized as a marriage. The court found that the state of Hawaii’s constitution expressly discriminated against homosexuals and that because of Hawaii’s anti-discrimination law they must re evaluate the situation.
After the ruling the state immediately asked for a stay of judgment, until the appeal had been convened, therefore putting off any marriage between Baehr and her partner for at least a year. By far Baehr is the most positive step toward actual marriage rights for gay and lesbian people. Currently there is a high tolerance for homosexuals throughout the United States and currently in Hawaii. Judges do not need the popularity of the people on the Federal or circuit court level to make new precedent.
There is no clear majority that homosexuals should have marriage rights in the general public, and yet the courts voted for Baehr. The judiciary has its own mind on how to interpret the constitution which is obviously very different then most of American popular belief. This is the principal reason that these judges are not elected by the people, so they do not have to bow to people pressure.
