“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is worst”—Aristotle
The above statement made by Aristotle emphasizes the significance of law and justice in not only maintaining order, but also help to affirm the nobility and distinction of human beings. In Thrasymachus’s account of justice, the philosopher presents his argument that different individuals and different states perceive the concept of justice differently. For the purposes of this essay, I will be focusing on 377a and 344e, while paying special attention to 338d-339a, 338a-339d, and 343b-344c. ...

Compare Views: Obligations of the Citizen

In his ‘letter from Birmingham Jail”, Martin Luther King wrote to eight white clergymen, addressing their disapproval over his nonviolent protests against racial inequality. Martin Luther King answered the charges of him being an outsider, by claiming that anything that happened anywhere in the United States affected everyone else, and that no one was an ‘outsider in the United States. King further addresses the clergymen’s opposition to the black demonstrations. King’s central idea regarding the obligations of the citizen is that it is the duty of the citizen to oppose all ...

Reading the works of Karl Marx is something that anyone interested in the social sciences should do. His views on how society works and the process of economic productions were among the most revolutionary ideas of the modern age. He established the foundations for scientific socialism and made a very thorough description of how capitalism worked. His theory led to believe that capitalism was the economic and social stage that preceded socialism. If one agrees with what Marx says about capitalism, it would be nearly impossible to consider it a fair economic system, but oddly enough, the German philosopher does never ...

The basic most concept of morality taught to people revolves around the dictum that human life is sacred, and it has great value. This is the very reason death comes as a shock to people, chiefly because life is a gift and it is cherished by every soul. Throughout the history of mankind, people have killed and have been killed over various disputes. The death penalty has been a major form of punishment given to people in order to penalize them rightly for their crime. The executions were carried out in various forms where torture, beheading at the gallows, ...

No man is an island. This quote serves as a reminder that we do not live in isolation. As stated by Aristotle, human beings are social animals who need daily social interaction with other members of the community and that to be self-sufficient and not partake in the society is distinctive of either a beast or a god. Because of this frequent interplay among members of the society, creating laws and empowering legal authorities became a necessity in order to establish order. These laws are meant to impose control and limitations over what individuals can do to avoid interfering with the rights of ...

View of Justice

Thrasymachus believes that there is no justice in the society. He gives an allegory of a shepherd; why a shepherd looks after the cattle to ensure that they are fat. It is not that the shepherd cares about the cattle, but he does so for purposes of the masters and the people who eat meat. In the same vein, he argues that justice means differed things to different individuals. The perfect example of an unjust person to Thrasymachus is the tyrant because he uses “by stealth and force takes away what belongs to others, both what is sacred and ...

“Be quiet! Do this! Don’t do that!” We come across or hear commands, directions, instructions and orders almost every day. So many people obey orders on a daily basis and most of the people who obey orders usually feel coerced. Apparently, people obey orders to cooperate or because they are afraid. In fact, often people obey orders against their own desires and better judgment (Milgram). So is it possible that people are prone to unjust authority? Many people might disagree. Many might claim that examples such as Nazi Germany and Abu Ghraib are simply “extreme” examples of the urge ...

Essay on the Discussion Forum of Business

The rule of interpretation that I agree with the most is the interpretation of the contract against the drafter. Interpretation of contract could occasion a legal lacuna only solved by a court of competent jurisdiction. For this reason, the law requires that contracts be as detailed as possible and that drafters employ the simplest terms in the documentation. In addition, courts are often keen to ensure the concept of fair bargaining is practiced in contracting. My argument is influenced by the general need to practice fairness. Often it is required of a drafter of a contract to as specific and detailed as possible. ...

(I). Different people define friendship in different ways. Friendship is a relationship between two people in which they have faith on each other, they mutually care for each other, know each other as a person, trust each other, and this ultimately makes them friends. Yes, Crito is a good friend of Socrates because he shows that he cares about him.
In Plato’s dialogue “Crito,” Crito’s presence at the prison early in the morning, fearing the Socrates will be executed soon is the very first evidence that he is a good friend to Socrates and cares about him. Socrates himself is ...

Introduction.

The famous philosophers such as Polemarchus, Thrasymachus and Socrates occasionally met together to discuss such important matters concerning life. The subject concerning the exercise of justice and the consequences of being just or unjust is the subject matter of one such discussion as shown in this paper. The core values that accompany being just or unjust, such as happiness and sadness respectively. The self-justification involved when we do something that is unjust and yet continue in the same line and end up being the tyrants that we know today. How sure are we that we are making the right ...

In the Crito, an astonishingly solid claim has been made by Socrates about the authority of the state, in terms of the principles of right and wrong behavior. However, his claim does not seem consistent not only with another underlying claim that has been made in the Crito, but also with particular claims that have been made by him in the Apology. The purpose of this short essay is to argue that it is actually possible to interpret the claims that Socrates makes about the state’s authority in a way that inconsistencies with other claims are removed.

On December 10, 1942, Edward Raczynski of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Polish government-in-exile sent a note to the Allies concerning the Nazi’s extermination of Jews in German-occupied Poland (Finch 30). Seven days later, the United Nations issued a joint declaration describing the events of the Holocaust, including the so-called Nuremberg Laws. These laws were announced at the annual Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg in September 15, 1935. Their effect and intent were predominantly anti-semitic, making widespread discrimination against Jews legally binding. Some examples of these regulations were the closure of all Jewish-owned businesses, the restriction of ...

The unjust laws were those that contributed towards the degradation of an individual’s personality. According to Martin Luther King Jr. a law that is unjust is one that is not in line with God’s laws. Such unjust laws usually exclude those in powerful positions from following them but on the other hand, it binds minority groups. Another example are the segregation ordinances which are unjust laws because it promotes segregation which is morally wrong. Unjust laws promoted discrimination on the basis of color, age and even gender and as such human beings did not share equal rights. There ...

Introduction

Justice is essentially a concept of moral aptness based on rationality, ethics, religion, natural law, fairness and equity, as well as administration of law, taking into consideration the inborn and inalienable rights of all the citizens and human beings. Justice as a virtue refers to a trait of a person. The understandings of the concept of justice differ in each culture, since cultures are normally dependent upon a certain shared history, religion, or mythology. The ethics of each culture create values that influence notion of justice.
On the other hand, civil disobedience is actually the active, declared refusal to obey certain demands, laws, ...

The line between matters such as good and evil, just and unjust codes and Pandects is a thin one, and these matters have become highly controversial over the years . The laws governing different countries and religion have also been in conflict over the years. One reason for these controversies is that all countries have more than one religion practiced by the citizens of the country in question. The law of God justifies that which is holy, righteous and just. According to Hobbes, the law by the government is absolute and individuals have a moral obligation to abide by these ...

The need for changes to the situation of African Americans in the last half of the twentieth century is evident in Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King, Jr. With 1963 as its original publication year, the document encompassed King’s ideologies on the use of civil disobedience to combat segregation and other racial injustices against the black populace in the United States. Apparently, King and his followers sought to achieve the Civil Rights of the African Americans through peaceful protests; however, rather than listen to the complaining masses, racist whites insisted that the protests defied law and ...

Analysis of “Letter from Birmingham Jail” using “Apology” and “Crito”

The works of Martin Luther King and Socrates show the ideologies of both men in their defense against persecutions made by their governments. In a bid to defend their actions, both authors present their arguments with respect to their particular surroundings. Consequently, as each seeks a form of liberty, there are some likeness, and in some instances disparities, between records of their arguments. In fact, at one point, King likens his condition and arguments to those made by the Greek philosopher. According to King, Socrates urges the Greek society to rise from a “the bondage of myths and half-truths” (2). King called ...

Abortion can be referred to as a procedure that terminates pregnancy which can be done through the use of medicine or through performance of a surgery. The procedure can be done legally or illegally and it is a very personal decision. However, terminating pregnancy or what is better referred to as abortion is an illegal undertaking unless done under special instructions made by a licensed health care practitioner. Those that back up abortion argue that, abortion is a right which no one should be denied or regulated by the government nor any religious entity. The proponents of abortion argue that if the women are ...

When talking about diversity, people always tend to define it in terms of difference in race, sex, socioeconomic status, religion, etc. and the treatment of other people in relation to these differences. When taken merely from the context of society, diversity would only be viewed as discrimination by prototypes. Prototypes refer to the standardized mindset of people from other culture, race, religion, etc. towards particular people. For instance, black people are viewed as slaves and as bad people, even if they are not at all or maybe not every black person is. Making prototypes is a social issue that leads ...

The concept of consumer protection can to be summarized as all efforts in developing structures and legal responses to outrage and crises developed by consumption of substandard products. Americans have in the past been subjected to consuming products that are a dangerous to the health. Once the dangerous nature of such products is known to the public, public outrage is usually the first response and such outrage is usually directed at any form of government, either federal or state. To this end, several government agencies and bureaucracies have been developed to address protection of consumers. These agencies have either federal ...

The novella by Von Kleist, titled “Michael Kohlhaas” was first published in 1810. In the book, the man Kohlhaas who was a horse merchant at the time is subjected towards a number of injustices by the government. His horses are taken away from him, and his wife is beaten and succumbs to her injuries. Attempts by Kohlhaas to use the legal system to get him justice are futile since he is dealing with politicians who are powerful in the state. He later resolves to violence in which he terrorizes the Junker together with an army he had managed to ...

The extent of the regulatory power of an employer within the workplace often transgreses over the right to privacy of the employees. While the court upholds many times the right of the employers to exercise regulatory power over the workplace such as the conduct of search within the employee’s workplace, the same is only limited under justified circumstances. According to Perline and Goldschmidt (2004), the conduct of workplace search is only justified when the following elements are present: (1) there is reasonable ground to suspect misconduct of the employee or there is a valid, non-investigatory and work related purpose, ...

Jury nullification occurs in the event of an unjust law been used to prosecute a criminal. Is it right for a criminal to be vindicated simply because the law is unjust? Any one facing the law has an inherent right to a fair hearing. Therefore, any law that is applied in the trial of an individual does not only need to be valid, but also just. In the absence of just laws, criminality is abetted.
The situation leads to the question whether the offended person or entity receives the right or a fair hearing? The offended does not get a fair hearing due ...

Morality vs. Strategy in War

Introduction
War, just like poverty, is an ever-present element of life. Reflection on warfare is one of the main things that occupy the public life of the members of society. Throughout history, warriors have faced ethical and moral challenges. Modern, highly technological, biological, chemical and unconventional guerilla wars magnify these challenges. Amid all the terror and “hell” of war, people are faced with moral responsibilities that they must achieve. Before determining the prevalent conditions at war, there are five laws which must be followed: The moral law; Heaven; Earth; The commander and the method or discipline. The strategy ...

Physician-assisted suicide has been subject to much global public debate. As the topic on human rights continues to gain momentum and make waves across the consciousness of people all over the world, humanity also continues to expand the scope and coverage of their rights. The right to death, as best manifested by physician-assisted suicide, is one such right. Highly controversial, this particular right brings forth some important questions. Firstly, when does one’s right to death begin? Secondly, to what extent should the physician take responsibility for the person who requested for death? Finally, on a personal note, can the ...

Discrimination through the creation of prototypes and the unjust [physical and economical] treatment towards people usually comes into our minds when we hear about human diversity or differences. For example, when people talk about the products manufactured in China, the common notion is that these products are of low quality. Or when people would look at black people, what most of us think is that they are less ‘humanly’ than us and that they are mere slaves that we should have dominion over them. However, when it comes to the sphere of the business entities and corporations, the issue ...

Even though, the justification of undertaking action of punishing an eye for an eye is faced by moral reasons, the intention should be not only legally but also morally justifiable. As an emotional response, to morally unjust acts, exact retribution advocates for the undertaking of punishments that match the crime committed against another individual. Nonetheless, the infliction of punishment in today’s society remains as morally justified right based on the decisions undertaken depending on the justification, rationale and nature of punishment. In addition, it is essential for rules that guide punishments to control the existence of different kinds ...

The “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” written by Martin Luther King Jr., is written for the purpose of motivating the African-American community to stand up for their rights and seeking sympathy for their position in society. King displays skillful organization of information to slowly build the audience’s interest before revealing the specific purpose of writing the letter. The types of appeals used in the letter’s composition indicate that King had carefully distributed them across the entire structure of the letter.

However, King’s letter contains several sections where spoken words would have achieved a better effect than written words. ...

It is traditionally thought that the primary function of law is to regulate people’s behavior and, thus, to establish order within a community. Law and fear of punishment are supposed to prevent people from criminal activity. Therefore, law and law enforcement are essential components of any civil society. At the same time, morality can also perform the function of regulating people’s behavior. Besides, very often morality is named a predecessor to law since many laws were made on the basis of certain moral principles which the society thought necessary to follow. And even though morality does not ...

In the 4th Century BC, Aristotle clearly stated that for a government to have an effective constitution, it must have in place three basic elements. These are a public assembly, various officers of the state and lastly a judicial department. One of the most famous quotes of John Adams is ‘power must never be trusted without a check’. This may be said to mean that in instances that an individual or an institution which is tasked with the authority to rule over a people should never be given the absolute authority to have the absolute authority. Institutions checking on ...

Glaucon is depicted in Book II of “The Republic” (Plato) as a philosopher concerned with the value of justice. He wishes to decide if it is worth being a just person just for the sake of justice. He argues that there is no reason to prevent a person from behaving in an unjust manner if that person can get away with it – in other words if someone can reap the rewards of wrong behavior, but not deal with the consequences of their actions.
The Man without a Face (1993) tells us of a McLeod, a man who was involved ...

The Tempest by William Shakespeare is interestingly simple yet complex in its own way. It has the complete recipe that categorizes it as a true Shakesperian play written during his time, with its magical theme as opposed to what ‘s real, the conflict between a father and his dhild, or between the old and the new, and the most apparent struggle for power. The play, with its constant reference to power and culture, appears to be an elucidation on European colonization. There were so much indication in the text, such as the arrival of Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, ...

Most families today are dual-earner, as many women have entered the workforce, either because of financial needs, or because of their wish to pursue a career and to be financially independent. While the gender gap is closing on the labour market, at home, the patriarchal ideology is reaffirmed by means of the division of household chores. Whereas men had to assume a share of the household chores, in most families, women continue to perform most of the chores which have been traditionally assigned to them. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the current gender division of ...

What is justice and how distributive justice may be defined? Which holdings and which acts should be considered as just ones and which ones should be seen as unjust? What is a just society and how justice correlates with equality and liberty? Two great American philosophers – John Rawls and Robert Nozick - tried to give answers to all these and many other similar questions in their well-known theories on distributive justice. Meanwhile, despite of the same subject two philosophers have quite different views on what is just and what is unjust in a society.

The hundredth anniversary of the Great War seems to have reopened discussions about this conflict in recent times. Preparations for the commemorations next august have stirred up debates over the validity of claims about Britain´s participation in the First World War.

He goes on to say that some left-wing historians, such as Cambridge professor Richard Evans, are attacking the memory of British soldiers ...

Locate one instance where Socrates used untruth and justified it as truth

The Apology
The apology is an account of the Socratic speech made during his trial in Athens in 339 B.C. In this trial, Socrates was charged with failing to recognize the gods that were recognized by the state, corrupting the Athenian youths, and invention of new deities. Nevertheless, these charges against Socrates were untrue. The term apology in this case refers to defense as opposed to the usual apology used in modern English. Socrates was defending himself in his speech. He recognized his ignorance in most of the worldly affairs, and makes a conclusion that he must be the ...

It’s just to break unjust laws

Introduction
Martin Luther King.Jr was imprisoned as a participant in non-violent demonstrations against segregation. In this letter, he called on all Americans peacefully oppose laws that were morally wrong. However, he urged them to be peaceful. According to Luther, there are just and unjust laws. A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. On the other hand, an unjust law is a law that is out of harmony with the moral law; it is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law. It is a code that a majority group ...

1. What is Civil Disobedience? How did Thoreau utilize this process? What was he protesting against? What is his critique of American society? How was his idea practiced in other movements?
Henry David Thoreau asserts that people should not allow the government to atrophy and overrule their conscience. The government has to govern the least. In fact, a government that does not govern at all tend to be the best (Thoreau 99). Civil disobedience refers to nonviolent resistance and the need to prioritize personal conscience over what is dictated by law. In most cases, civil disobedience entails active and ...

Plato argues about justice in the soul based on the society, politics, and personal justice. In his books, The Republic and Five dialogues, he argues about political justice as being one unit, in terms of the body of the government. He says that, politics is like part of the body whereby each part has influence over the other. He also looks at justice in terms of society, which is made up of three main groups of people that include producers, who are craftsmen, artisans and farmers in this case. Then, he also talks of the auxiliaries who are helpers ...

Plato’s Republic and J.S. Mill
1. The success of any society relies greatly on its strategies or approaches of facilitating and ensuring justice and morality. In the Republic, we note Plato emphasizes on the moral health of the community. His other concern was the art, which he was of the opinion it influenced one’s soul through its persuasions. He observed that citizens exposed to symbols of evil they gradually embrace the evil into their souls especially, if guidance or direction is lacking. For instance, animals grazing in ...

Introduction

In the world, everything progresses due to the existence of a system that ensures that everything is in place and works as expected. For the system to progress, it must test the realities that surround it rather than basing itself on mere delusions that do not work. Individuals have always been known to violate laws that they feel are unjust and have resulted to move the society forward by using their own motives. Governments, as bodies that govern have always faced resistances from individuals who feel that a certain law is unjust and needs to be changes. The individuals are not ...

With the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s and those not afraid to speak out against the unjust, such as Martin Luther King Jr., the fight against racism and segregation has made great leaps into the more accepting and integrated society we now enjoy. Government has worked tirelessly in promoting new legislation to ensure equal rights for all who live in America. All citizens now have the opportunity to vote, giving them power in their country’s government. The recent election of our first African American president goes a long way in demonstrating just how much more excepting America ...

ABSTRACT

In his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, Martin Luther King referred to the founding documents and principles of the United States that promised liberty and equality for all, and noted that the country had failed to fulfill these in practice, especially because blacks had suffered centuries of slavery and segregation. His main concern was to secure basic citizenship and voting rights for blacks, and his speaking style was far more like that of a preacher and prophet. A century after slavery was abolished, blacks still faced segregation, discrimination and lack of voting right in many parts of the United ...

Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King were important leaders in their time, even though by background they had very little in common and would not have been on the same side had they been contemporaries. Jefferson was a large slave owner in Virginia who became governor of that state after writing the Declaration of Independence and then president of the United States in 1801-09. Even though he wrote the famous words ‘all men are created equal’, he meant only white men, not blacks, women or Native Americans. As a politician and chief of state, he most certainly did not believe that ...

Larry Gopnik was an ordinary, average ‘good man’ who tried to live an ethical life while advancing his mediocre life as a physics professor, when his personal and professional life fall apart on him completely. Nothing makes sense or has meaning any more, and Larry struggles to find out why all these disasters have occurred to him. No one can tell him why, though, not even the rabbis at the synagogue. It just seems that God and the universe are completely arbitrary and unjust, and Epicurus would have told him this was because there was no God. There was no ...

John Stuart Mill’s basic theory of utilitarianism is simple enough to understand in that it holds that all normal individuals which to maximize their pleasures and avoid pain and most desire that which brings them happiness. Obviously, many of these are simply matters of personal tastes and preferences that raise no real questions of justice or morality, such as happiness derived from certain foods or colors, meeting old friends, walking through the country or an infinite number of other possibilities. Mill would permit individuals the widest possible latitude in pursuing pleasure and happiness, even in activities that were ...

The Age of Enlightenment was the time in the eighteenth century where the emergence of intellectuals reformed the society and brought in advanced knowledge in both America and Europe. This time was characterized by rapid Intellectual and scientific inventions through diffusion of ideas and knowledge.

Introduction

Socrates and his student Plato are distinguished philosophers of all times. Their philosophical studies have immeasurably contributed to the today’s philosophical works such as justice, ethics and knowledge. The two philosophers have shown great similarities in almost all their pursuits. They both hold tightly to the value that moral values are of utmost priority in any civilized society. They both cling to the old saying that “virtue is its own reward.” Also they both have a common propelling force in this area of study. Their idea behind this subject matter is an interesting concept that “virtue is the health ...

In corporate chain stores and huge corporations like Wal-Mart, workers get frustrated as a result of several unjust treatments. A good percentage of the employees are forced to be part-time workers since these companies want to pay for as little benefits as possible. Such companies are also temporarily understaffed making many of their employees to work overtime which, in most cases, is not paid. Failure of the employees to complete their tasks directly results into loss of that particular job. This compels the workers to go extra miles even if it means working overtime, with very poor benefits. In these ...

In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value. He argues that morality should be centered on the equal treatment of all living entities, rather than the reduction of suffering and the amplification of pleasure. Consequently, Regan's involvement in the animal rights movement is based on three issues: the elimination of all commercial forms of animal testing, animal agriculture and animal hunting. Ultimately, Regan's argument stands as a sound defense for animal rights on the grounds ...

Does the Theory of the Tripartite Soul Give Us Good Reason to be Just?

Introduction
The well-known philosopher of Ancient Greece, Plato, presented the theory of the tripartite soul. However, the ideas, which consider the components of the soul to depend on the social system or have an impact on the human behavior, can as well belong to another genius of the same time, Socrates. Plato and Socrates, as two of the most prominent minds of the ancient times, questioned the features of the human personality under the terms of the natural instincts and the characteristics, which all people get with birth.
In fact, all the thoughts of these two masters stand on ...

The Mendelsohn elements, in theory, include portal quest, immersive, intrusion and liminal that helps in classifying the antagonists in the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘The Midsummer Night's Dream.' The protagonists and antagonists from both pieces of fantasy literature have various character traits that are similar and different. Fantasy literature has been used to refer to an imaginary universe that uses magic as well as other supernatural elements. Therefore, the authors have created the characters according to imaginary creatures to fit the overall genre of the story.

The qualities of leadership that make one individual a great leader and another individual an ineffective one are not absolutely fixed. Depending on the time in question, the situation and the person who is leading, the qualities that an individual will need to have as a leader in order to be effective can vary significantly. At the same time, it can be useful to examine those qualities in historical leaders of the past so as to glean whatever lessons are possible from their approach and their accomplishments. The following will consider the leadership qualities of Moses, Martin Luther, Pres. ...

Differences between a Regulatory Agency and a Professional Nursing Organization
The main distinction between a regulatory entity like the Board of Nursing (BON) and a Professional Nursing Organization (PNO) is that the first one regulates, develops legislation, deals with licensures and monitors professional nurses at all levels, while the second represents the rights of nurses. The central aim of BON is to safeguard the rights of the patients (NCSBN, 2016). A PNO has a goal to advocate for nurses and it usually consists of a group of nurses that unite aiming at educating, sharing, and fostering the elaboration of ...

In 1960, a group of students called the “Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee” (SNCC) began to organize sit-ins with black students who would walk into restaurants throughout the south and sit in places designated for “whites only.” This stirred up a debate between Malcolm X and James Baldwin, who both played a prominent role in the history of the fight against the nation’s racial inequality that led to the Civil Rights Movement. Each of the men had some interesting, valid, and unique perspectives on their thoughts about the sit-ins that were occurring across the south that resulted in the ...
