It is not at all uncommon for people to advocate dictatorship and otherwise straight up exerting coercive control over the lives of others for both their own good and the collective good of society.

This accusation is often correct. There is a reason why we have systems of democracy and concepts of basic rights. Coercion is harmful to the subject’s ...

Introduction

Leadership today is viewed as a social process wherein leaders and followers interact effectively and participate actively in the leadership actuations (Goertzen, 2013).

However, close observation on the natural behaviors of children will inspire questions on the validity of the claim that leaders are made, not born. A child in the play, for instance, who takes initiative in organizing ...

Both a direct motivation, and the ironically innate thesis of Locke’s work on identity, was to make an argument about the idea of moral culpability. The Renaissance was dwindling and a new era of thinkers in Europe were emerging, and with ...

Whether or not God exists is one of the most foundational questions humans have asked. While the traditional scientific viewpoint is that conclusively demonstrating whether or not there is a God is impossible, a number of philosophical and theological arguments have emerged that have attempted to do just that – recognize that God does exist and prove it through an argument. Soren Kierkegaard was one such philosopher. He argued that while God exists, his existence could not be proven and only grasped through faith. Other philosophers and theologians have gone even farther than Kierkegaard and have argued that God’s ...

This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature. After all, ...

This aspect of knowledge is something worth considering because the nature of the human mindset is made in such a way that perspective always creates a filter on the way one interprets life and “truth”. One could even say that without perspective, there would be no need for the pursuit of knowledge. It is nearly unavoidable to remove one’s perspective when pursuing knowledge because it is often ...
