States governments are through legislations, responsible for various individuals’ rights and freedoms. Over the years, individual liberty has been a topic of discussion among many state governments around the globe. Individual liberty is described as the freedom of citizens of a particular state to conduct various activities without interference from the government. The state government, usually, has less or no power over the individuals’ conduct and behavior. Individuals under democratic governments, usually, have and enjoy varied social, political, and economic liberties in their undertakings.

Introduction

The shared history between America and Mexico can be dated back during the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836, and the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. As a result, several treaties had been signed in culminating differences between the two nations. For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Gadsden Purchase comprise some of the agreements made between the two nations. In the 19th century, America claimed Louisiana as part of its territory and was rightfully acquired during the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. These confrontations resulted into conflict as Spain opposed to the America's claim, stipulating that the western ...

St. Augustine Confessions

The confessions of Saint Augustine take us through the life of transformation for a Christian. The time comes in the life of an individual to make crucial decisions for his or her life, which maybe contrary to their previous believes. As a child grows, they learn a lot from their parents and more especially the mother, who happens to be close most of the times. However, as the child brows, he/she is exposed to a different environment with more compounded influences. For instance, Augustine grew up in a Christian background with his mother imparting Christian values into his life. ...

Introduction to the New Testament

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had ...

The judges mainly rely on a various principles when interpreting the acts of parliament. These rules include:

- The literal rule.
- The golden rule.
- The mischief rule.

The literal rule

It is the cardinal rule of construction (interpretation) of statutes. In this rule, words must be given their ordinary, literal, grammatical meaning. The literal rule is the first rule to be used in establishing the intention of the legislature.
In many cases, the courts are normally required to interpret the meaning of a given piece of legislation to enable them apply facts to the cases that come before the judges. As such, the courts have continually developed a wide range of rules of interpretation to assist them ...

Before Liberation, Mao’s thoughts propagated against religious superstition; because there was no clear boundary between religions and superstition, against superstitions also included against superstitions. Religious superstitions were considered anti-social and anti-government, so many religion propagator of was exiled, including Buddhism. Along with Liberation, religion was accepted by society in order to unite all people together, and then the distinction between religion and superstition gradually became clear. Undeniable, religion had close relationship with superstitions, but religions are completely different in ideology then superstition (Jagou, n.d).
Both superstitions and religion are theist idea and unscientific, but this is the only ...

Just like a celebrity, the ideas of Benedict Anderson need no introduction. The scholar, theorist and modern philosopher holds the most peculiar ideas about nationalism. Benedict believes that the nation is an imagined community based on the absence of some factors. On the contrary, Partha Chatterjee believes that there was a big difference between the form of nationalism in Asia and Africa, and that in European countries. Partha Chatterjee argues that the main differences lie in the forces and reasons behind such nationalism. Worth mentioning is that nationalism is defined by the same metrics by the two scholars, but ...

Introduction

When the unemployment level hit a shocking 10% in October 2009, the world thought the scary depression of the 1930s was back. During this time, the economic recession which had begun two years earlier had dragged down economic growth and the gross domestic product a great deal. The stock market was performing poorly, but had really collapsed as it had during the great depression (Canterbery 45). For an individual that was a child during the great depression, the great recession is a minor economic downfall and does not even qualify to be modified by the term Great. Yet, to ...

Through the years, the western and eastern religions have been regarding women differently. For example, some religions regard women as goddess-like figure as they believe that they are the most holy creatures. On the contrary, other religions view women as insignificant hence denying them some important rights. Both Eastern and Western religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islamic all have differing roles for women. However, the religions remained to keep a few part of their roles similar. Each of the mentioned religion equips women with specific duties to fulfill as well as differing values for women. I choose ...

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 ...

Introduction

Jeremy Bentham and Immanuel Kant were the two famous philosophers, who elucidated the criterion for evaluating human actions. Jeremy Bentham introduced the concept of assessing actions through the intensity of happiness it produces to the highest number of people; a notion that is based on utilitarianism. On the contrary, Immanuel Kant expounded the same through Categorical Imperative. Moral rightness of a decision according to Bentham’s Consequentialist Utilitarian theory is defined by the outcomes it produces, while Kant focuses on the moral rightness of the action. This paper will highlight the major similarities ...

Introduction

The Effects of Scientific Revolution on Religion has been a very critical topic in such fields as history, philosophy and other social sciences. The scientific revolution, arguably one of the most important developments in human history is a movement that substantially shook the foundations of religion (Wolfe & Wolfe, 2011). The primary purpose of this topic, is to narrow down the broad topic of the effects of scientific revolution in such a manner that such effects are viewed from the perspective of the medieval religious structures, and not from the eye of the entire humanity.

Introduction.

The attempts to make marijuana legal began in the early 1970’s with a push on political, economic and social factors (Gupta, 2013). There has been incongruence between the public’s understanding of the drug and scientific knowledge. Most users and non-users refer to their experiences with the drug rather than its scientific and economic implication. Just like any other drug, some marijuana users stop after trying it once or twice while others become addicted (Ford, 1997). Statistics from NACADA indicate that at least two out of ten people who try marijuana become addicted, and develop dependence that produces ...

Abstract

With virtually everything going international, globalization has become an inevitable concept. Technology has reduced, and to some extent eliminated the miles between the nations across the world – a situation that has seen business among people and organization from various countries flourish. The shortening and elimination of the distances has seen a rapid growth in the number of multinational corporations in the last three decades. Research indicates that internationalization of the firm is no longer an affair for the big organizations. On the contrary, small and medium enterprises are operating globally, with e-commerce being the main form of business. With ...

Biblical and professional approaches to Substance abuse counseling

Introduction
Drug and substance abuse is the one among the most common social evils in the contemporary societies.

The methods designed to aid the war against drugs can be analyzed and categorized into two categories. The first category is the anti-drugs campaign, which seeks to prevent the growing of the menace among members of society. The second class of methods ...

This novel is written by Graham Greene in the year 1969. Greene was an English playwright, literacy critic and a writer. His writings usually highlighted ambivalent political and moral issues and problems of the world. He was widely renowned for his ability to amalgamate widespread popularity with literary acclaim. Many of his writings reflect his Roman Catholic background, although he strongly objected to the idea of being called as a Catholic writer rather than a writer with a catholic background. However, he never received a Nobel Prize in the literature category but he was runner-up in the year 1962 ...

There are primarily two political perspective of socialism. The first one is primordial’s view, which identifies the nationalism as a reflection of perceived and ancient tendency of human being that encourages them to bifurcate it into distinct group or system. The second view is the modernist perspective that identifies that for existing into modern society, there are some structural conditions.
Although Koreans and Chinese seem to depict two distinct nationalities but both of them have myriad sub-classes ...

Introduction

This research paper examines the evidence that supports a continuance of the existing federal ban on the recreational use of marijuana. While there seems to be a groundswell of public support for legalization of its use – which many claim is the result of strenuous lobbying by pro-marijuana activists – there remains strong scientific evidence in support of a continuing ban on the grounds of public health and safety, especially among the younger generation who would be most affected and most vulnerable to addiction and other problems if it were legalized, thereby making access that much easier.

Being oneself is one of the most challenging normality in the modern world. The need to be accepted and appreciated in the society has turned human beings into puppet like beings just to fit in the society. There is a lot of pressure all over, the important one being to make a living. It is clear that the living standards are being raised with each and every passing day and the need to do what somebody else is doing just to be as successful as they are has been on the increase. Technology and globalization have even worsened the ...

Induction

Induction
The problem facing induction has been a great challenge presented by epistemology to various philosophers, among them David Hume. Since the 18th century, he has raised the induction concern to various philosophers with the aim of finding a solution to the dilemma. Karl Popper, Chalmers among others philosophers played an imperative role in identifying a considerable solution to the induction problem. In philosophy, induction is defined as a form of reasoning that is derived from a particular observation of a phenomenon and draws conclusions from the phenomenon. For instance, it is certain that the sun will rise tomorrow ...

Sexual deviance comprises of a wide range of abnormal sexual expressions from cross dressing, fetishism, sexual masochism, incest, pedophilia, and rape. On the contrary, sexual deviant behavior can be defined in different contexts. According to sociology, sexual deviance varies from culture to the other depending different cultural beliefs and norms.

Through spirituality, many individuals find the meaning of comfort, inner peace in one's life, and hope. According to religious beliefs, spirituality is often attributed to religious life. On the contrary, most people believe in the development of personal spirituality outside religious life. For ...

Aristotle’s notion of happiness is quite different from our understanding of happiness. He called happiness an “activity” while the contemporary interpretation of happiness is a placid state of human mind. Thus, happiness now is seen as an emotional state rather than the result of certain action. Greek word eudaimonia can be rendered as “success”. People who are successful according to this notion are not in a particular state, but they live successfully. Aristotle considered happiness as an ongoing state caused by actions, rather than temporary euphoria. He stated that virtuous people can be happy when they exercise their ...

The case of Marbury v. Madison

The American legal system is Anglo Saxon and significantly different from the continental legal system, with much broader powers of the Supreme Court, which does not recognize the justice of other countries.
The American judicial system is known for being based on the case law, and because of the time the Supreme Court had more weight, while at the end of the judicial power did not become competent to say what law is. The entire American public sovereignty is divided into three mutually independent, equitable, and consistent powers. Framers of the Constitution are, insisted on the independence of the ...

The average student in the American education system goes through thirteen years of education. Four of the thirteen years are spent in high school where the student ought to learn essential skills to apply thereafter. When a student joins high school, they are expected to know basic reading skills and writing skills. However, not every student acquires such learning. Also, the high school education system fails to prepare the students for life after school. For this reason, various discussion and debates have been held across the state (Stuart, 45).
With a focus on the objective of the American curriculum, ...

The concept of beauty is a function of multiple variables. The idea of beauty is ephemeral and ever changing. It cannot possibly be static or constant. One of the basic reasons that make the perception of beauty so transient and ever changing is the fact that the perception of beauty is a subjective phenomenon. In an online dictionary, the term “subjective” has been defined as “existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought.” (“Definition of Subjective” Dictionary.com) The online dictionary further defines the term “subjective” as placing  ...

Literature is normally presented through several mediums among them written work and film.

Introduction

Anti-Semitism is referred to as hatred or prejudice against Jews. It is a form of racism practiced against the Jewish community as a result of various Jewish heritage backgrounds. Anti-Semitism is dated back in the 19th century through its manifestation by police, violent mob attacks, and military attacks on the Jewish community. There are various historic incidences that have delineated anti-Semitism across the globe. For instance, the Dreyfus affair in France and the Holocaust in Germany represent cases where millions of Jewish followers were concentrated in camps and killed. Anti-Semitism views and ideologies are still in existence in America ...

Redefying capitalism and reconsidering its role in modern society is rather significant nowadays. Nowadays business should move toward social needs. Only companies which policies are aimed on society, the companies that include corporate social responsibility into their business strategies have an opportunity to become leading companies in any industry. There are several clusters that can help implement the corporate social responsibility program. To such clusters one includes not only small companies, but educational, economic and environmental institutions as well. The shared value theory is not to consume but to help others. For example, a businessman instead of buying a ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will look at a low context society - the United States, and a high context society - Japan. Both cultures - Japanese and American - differ in the way they broadcast consumer advertisements. By comparing and contrasting TV commercials typical of both cultures, I will try to find answers to the questions that interest me. To do this, three points of comparisons will be made and examined: how the commercials in these cultures differ in styles, how both consumer cultures target children as consumers, and an image of contemporary woman in Japanese and American commercial ...

T.C Boyle’s The Tortilla Curtain has been described variously as the most controversial yet timely novel of the current times, at least in the context of the American situation. The novel, which revolves around cultural, financial and social differences of two families, is a manifestation of the themes of poverty, illegal immigration, class conflict, xenophobia and social strife. Boyle wrote this book before 1996, and got it published by Vikings press at a time when California had voted on and the rejection of what was referred to as Preposition 187 – a bill that would restrict illegal immigrants’ access ...

PART A

Whether or not the right to liberty should be protected and observed at the time of death is a matter of debate. Philosophically speaking, right to liberty at the time of death ought to be upheld because the ultimate quality differentiating human beings from animals is the capacity to make decisions. Right to liberty is essentially the right to make decisions. The debate revolving around the right to liberty is the foundation for the concept of The Legal Right to Die (Palmer 87). Over the years, various decisions have been made with regard to the legal right to die. ...

Introduction

Criminal justice system issues are studied nowadays and will be studied until humankind exists. The point is that such issues are rather controversial. Some people state that we are only humans and we are not allowed to judge others. On the other hand, there are those who are always unsatisfied with verdicts and state that sentences should be stricter. I am studying the issue of capital punishment for juveniles. In my opinion, this issue is significant to study because there are many discussions on this topic. There are those who state that juveniles should not be punished so strict. ...

Introduction

Thanksgiving is one of the most significant features of the American culture. The event has been around for well over three centuries, if the English pilgrim’s tale is anything to go by. Speaking of national recognition of the event, though, the day dates back to the November of 1863, when the then president Abraham Lincoln accented requests and proposals by various stakeholders to have a national thanksgiving day (Grippo and Hoskins 23). In his words, Lincoln asked all Americans to hold the celebrations as a way of asking God to “commend to his tender care all those who ...

Compare and contrast Wundt and Galton.

Undoubtedly the father of psychology, Wundt brought psychology out as a science, distinguishing it from philosophy and biology. Wundt, who institutionalized psychology, is prominently associated with structuralism and voluntarism. His approach to understanding the human mind was quite different from that of Galton because, in Wundt’s views, all human brains were the same, and had to be studied using the same metrics (Malone, 2009). As such, Wundt split the understanding of human brain and behavior into two – subjective and objective aspects. Wundt was undoubtedly the psychologist who explained the essence of the primary and secondary qualities as they ...

There are animal rights protecting cats, dogs, dolphins, squirrels, zebras, pigs, birds, and other harmless animals. There are also animal rights protecting the violent and dangerous animals such as lions, tigers, and snakes. However, when it comes to LGBT and other social minorities, why do some people show no mercy or concern with them? What scope or kind of morality this anti-LGBT or anti-minority possesses?

The Personals

The movie was shot in 1998 by Chen Kou-Fu. The next year the movie was presented at the Cannes Festival. The story described in the movie, in my opinion, is rather banal. There is a woman who is rather busy and does not have time for her personal life. However, she is at that very age when everybody around her has a family. She decided to solve the problem with a partner by simply posting an ad in a newspaper. Soon she gets more than a hundred calls. The “potential” partners are rather strange: beginning with a restaurant manager ...

Dutch disease is a theorem which is first developed by W. Max Corden and J. Peter Neary in 1982 based on a theoretical story explaining the relationship between tradable and non-tradable goods. The theory basically claims that a large amount of resources gained through exploitation of natural resources or through an international aid or in any other similar way resulting abundance of financial resources for a country might not help the country to create an economic development. This country will enjoy spending this abundant resource, however, spending the resource will not create a capacity to produce some ...

Introduction

This paper is an endeavor to explain the rights and freedoms of people around the world, as they (such freedoms) cut across the social classes and prejudices. The arguments of the paper are based on the presumption that the concepts of freedom and equality are sometimes being suppressed in some parts of the world including the Middle East, Russia, and Canada (Charlton 18). Such inequalities in the application of freedoms and rights is what makes it hard for the Middle Eastern and Russian people, for instance, to extend greater tolerance and share the same social privileges. That is why ...

Question 1

One of the ethical philosophies that best fits my ethical framework is virtue ethics. One of the good things about virtue ethics is that it focuses more on the integrity of the individual rather than the actions. A person’s actions do not necessary define him or her. The person’s character traits are mostly important. Thus, any actions that are done by an individual cannot be attributed to just following the rules. Further, rules and regulations in any business setting will help evaluate the character traits of an individual. Additionally, using virtue ethics, one can be able to ...

Question One:
- Adopting a union substitution strategy and refusing to negotiate with the union
This approach involves a complete oversight of the union. The approach would enable the company to necessarily bypass the union and negotiate any issues with the employees either individually or collectively. This approach bears fruit in cases where the union wields a lot of powers that in many cases may threaten the operations of the organization. However, it equally comes with the risk of losing the employee trust and recognition. Employees often feel respected and recognized by the employer who allows them to operate ...

Introduction

Supply chain management has become a key determinant of success or failure of a business entity in the current competitive environment. Supply chain management can be used to improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs associated with inventory, and improve the efficiency of purchasing material. In overall, therefore, supply chain management can be used to improve the competitiveness of a firm. Supply chain management has moved from a purely operational approach to an integrated approach that is more responsive to consumer needs. This shift can be attributed to rapid changes in tastes and preferences among consumers and cut-throat competition that has ...

While the term madness has no standard definition, I understand it as a state of mind where a person is not in a position to make informed decisions. This essentially means that a mad person always or at most times portrays irrationality in their decisions. They lack reason and cannot be judged as being objectively right in their thinking. However, mad people do not see the insanity in them, for this reason, many philosophers, including the famous Rene Descartes, have argued that perhaps we, who think we are normal, are the mad ones, and those we perceive as being ...

The significant purpose of any given government is to support its state and people through dissimilar measures including economic, political and military. However, this is the major reasons why during times of war or other threats to the country, the government takes the authority of applying extra ordinary measurers such as restricting freedom and freezing assets among others. Concurrently, I think that such measures are only relevant when there is a state of emergency in the country so that the government can safeguard its citizen but not throughout. Therefore, the government should note that such measures should only be ...

Socrates and Machiavelli are two great philosophers who believed in different ideologies about how people are supposed to live in a nation under administration and authority. However, the two had some merging points, where they could agree on some issues. According to Socrates, people in the community depended on each other for their survival since no person is complete without the other. He further postulated that people have different capacities to perform various tasks, and thus no person can have all the necessary art. Therefore, Socrates advocated for mutual interdependence among members of the society (Kreeft, 2002).

Abstract

Making a difference between social development and economic development has proven to be considerably difficult for many people, including scholars. Similarly, people find difficulties in trying to establish the difference between social development and social change. While this has been the state of affairs for quite a long time, it still is difficult for the most learned people to differentiate social development from cultural development. Clearly, social development is a complicated concept. Scholars and authors have constantly given various definitions of social development. Even so, most of the scholars and social scientists agree on the indicators of social development. ...

Currently the most populous country in the world, china is synonymous with communism. The extent to which Chinese leadership embraced the idea cannot be compared to any of the historically socialist states. Worth noting is the fact that communism, is an idea that relates to both the political and the social order in a country. The extent to which property and wealth is owned by the state makes the difference between communism and capitalism. The Chinese government, under the brutal and dictatorial leadership of such people as Mao Zedong, underwent socialism in the 20th century (French, 2007). Today, communism ...
