From the outset, it is important to note that the vision of hell that the play illustrates causes the audience to perceive the trip to hell as a horrifying experience, especially when Dante creates the impression that every person has to undergo punishment because everyone is a sinner, one way or another. The structure that the play creates has nine circles with each with each representing different ...

and Classical Conservatism in the Modern Period

Introduction

Classical Liberalism and Classical Conservatism emerged as political philosophies from the past centuries as guides for government ruling. While liberalism aims for equality, conservatism wanted natural hierarchy. These two conflicts were mainly headed by two different minds in the person of John Locke (Liberalism) and Edmund Burke (Conservatism). However, no matter which became more favored in the past, the application of these ideologies in the present time is considered to be more complex than before.

One public school in Chicago still conducts classes for the children in an abandoned roller rink with not even a single encyclopedia, leaving a rare exceptional teacher to buy teaching ...

Epicurus viewed death as annihilation. He observed that people fear death because they think they will have unpleasant life after death. He says this fear can be removed when a personal understands death as an annihilation since the atoms that make life disperse after death. He thinks that death is neither harmful for the people who are living nor to the dead. This, he argues, is because the living are not dead while the dead do not exist. He also thinks that when people anticipate death it is erroneous for them and irrational since there is no life after ...

Augustine's mother, Monica, was a devout Christian, while his father supported paganism for most of his life, merely converting to Christianity prior to his death. ...

Introduction

No form of punishment engenders more controversy than the death penalty. Although capital punishment has been used since ancient times, its modern utilization is repeatedly called into question. The United States stands alone among Western world counterparts in its continued use of the death penalty. Among the international community, the general trend largely reflects a discontinuance of capital punishment. For instance, member states of the European Union have all abolished the death penalty (Shin, 2007, p. 505). Given the overwhelming number of nations that have since abolished the death penalty, it is somewhat surprising that the United States continues ...

One definition of conservatism states that a situation tends to remain static unless acted upon by a strong external force. In the world of major college football, tradition and fiscal conservatism have combined for years to preserve a system by which a tight circle of resource-rich powerhouse programs hold sway from year to year. The major bowl games, the nearly exclusive preserve of the nation’s football elite, serve as NCAA football’s branding identity but do little to determine a quantifiable national champion. A powerful cabal of athletic directors, commissioners, university presidents and other officials maintain the sanctity of the lucrative bowl system. In ...

Happiness is a state which many strive for; some achieve it and others don’t. However, the means and ways of attaining happiness are varied and can often involve questionable ethics. For instance, by taking an ecstasy pill, the side effect is to feel happy and as if you love everyone and everything; however, the purchasing of such a drug is illegal and the money goes into the drug trade which has links to countless un-ethical associations. It is also an unsustainable state which wears off after a few hours, so is that really happiness anyway? The pursuit of happiness is man’ ...
