The motto of enlightenment is “Have courage to use your own reason.” Philosopher Immanuel Kant described enlightenment as a path that all of us have access to, but few of us take advantage of. It is defined as “a man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage” (Kant, 1). That is, enlightenment is self-incurred because most of society adopts the dominant feelings of the popular majority. However, Kant presents it is difficult for individuals to reach a level of such enlightenment because they lack the courage to do so. It takes courage to stand out on one’s own faith, ...

I would describe my personal criminological theory as the Classical Theory, and why I think it fits is because people have a choice about everything that they do including the choice to commit the crime. There’s no excuse to commit a crime no matter how easy or advantageous the score of that crime is. For example, classical theory could define a potential rapist who chooses to rape women in order to satisfy his sexual needs. It can be said that instead of raping random women in order to satisfy his sexual needs, he can just get a prostitute for whatever he wants ...

William Faulkner and Ambrose Bierce are both extraordinary writers, and they each have many publications that cover a variety of themes. Of interest are William Faulkner’s short story, “Barn Burning,” and Ambrose Bierce’s short story, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Although both short stories comment on a variety of values and ideas, they are both connected by the very powerful theme of loyalty versus principle. Both stories share several similarities, but the strongest similarity is how they tackle the theme of loyalty versus morality. In fact, both of these stories tackle this theme through the protagonist of ...

The interest concerning ethical choice stems from the fact that such a situation sooner or later confronts every person. Ethical choice is a person’s choice in favor of either good or evil, the choice of ethical alternatives. Thus, “ethical standards are what the majority accepts as good, and the way they behave without imposed rules and regulations” (Chmielewski, 2004). The situation of ethical choice reveals the true nature of a man: some people are guided by common values and rules whereas the others - by greed, selfishness, self-preservation instinct. People always have a choice between good and evil, between life according ...

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

Introduction The theme of the music video, Lilly Allen’s, ‘Hard out There’ is all about the typical behavior of women and thinking of men about the general womanhood features.

Carole Vance’s article, “Social Construction Theory: Problems in the History of Sexuality,” explains how the social construction theory can be used to help understand LBGTQ+ identities. As discussed previously, essentialism assumes that all things, at the essence, are the same or share a similar experience. However, this does not take culture into consideration, and just how far humans are constructed socially. Vance explains that the LBGTQ+ community would benefit from identifying as a socially constructed group, because assuming that sexuality is finite or natural is an essentialist argument that completely undermines people who are sexually fluid and rejects the idea ...

- Introduction It was Sigmund Freud who first suggested that human psychosexual development is heavily influenced by one’s relationship with one’s father or mother (Katz-Wise 2). However, in reality, the development of sexuality is quite different and significantly more complex.

I have always had the love of cooking. So, it was an honor for me when my friends asked me to cook dessert for a fundraiser that their church was organizing. Of course, my first reaction was to know what my audience would be and what they would prefer. Most of the people that will be attending the fundraiser were old-aged people. So I had to make something that was light, refreshing and easily digestible for old aged people. I decided the ‘Coconut Panna Cotta’ was the perfect dessert for such an occasion.

Food is normally seen as an engine that drives many societies in the world. It is very hard to find a given food that serves in a given state as their stable meal.

People from diverse cultural background always have their own taste and preference. For instance, the people of Arizona are of mixed cultures and different backgrounds.

When Michael Lipsky refers to street-level bureaucracy or a street-level bureaucrat, he is referring to an individual who is, essentially, the enforcer for a bureaucratic agency-- those individuals who are hired to enforce actions and laws put into place to govern people. Lipsky uses individuals like police and social workers as examples of street-level bureaucrats (Shafritz, Russell and Borick). These individuals, according to Lipsky, vary the levels to which they implement the laws and regulations assigned to them. For instance, a police officer may let one individual off with a warning for speeding, although technically that officer should have given a ticket to the ...

The book, “Nickel and Dime” by Gary Soto is once again proof that the author knows how to weave seemingly pointless stories together in order to prove something greater. The novel is a highlight reel of America’s consumerist tendencies, pack mentality, and how we force those we believe do not belong to the sidelines even when they so desperately want to be a part of what we are building. Many of the characters included in the novel appear to be criminals on the surface, desperate for what may not be theirs for the taking. Society paints them in this way, ...

According to the theory, the social environment and physical environments are one of the main causes of the behavioral choice that a person makes. The theory highly emphasizes on the importance of neighborhood or locality for the shaping of their behavior. For example, a person belonging to an area where undesired social factors such as Illiteracy, unemployment, lack of moral education and ignorance are in abundance, the chances that the residents may involve in criminal activities are higher. This gives rise to other undesired aspects, such as, if someone does not want to indulge in criminal activities, but lack of educational ...

In this principle, Mill observes that individual actions should only be limited to protecting and preventing harm to other people.

John Stuart Mill appreciated that every individual was free to engage in any action and should not be prohibited in ...

It is agreed across board that Pleasure is an incidence that brings happiness and reduces or eliminates pain altogether. However, Utilitarians believe that some pleasures are more sophisticated than others hence they have a higher utility while critics think otherwise.

He agrees with the school of thought that ‘base’ ...
