Essays on Freedom

Abstract

Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and petition are all part of this great nation’s democratic freedom of expression. Protected by the First Amendment, freedom of expression, as the Supreme Court has written, is the matrix of every other form of freedom. However, this freedom has been on many occasions misused, especially during times of national crisis. In 1984, during a Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, one Gregory Lee (Joey) Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest against the then President the late Ronald Reagan and some Dallas-based corporation’s ...

My personal beliefs and values are supported by my dress and body adornment. Sometimes I wear jewelry that represents my individuality and sometimes I wear symbols of my religiousness and spirituality, like a temporary tattoo of an image of a dragon for example. For me it represents freedom, strength, independence and discipline. These values are very important for me. I also wear t-shirts with the image of a tiger, because this animal represents dignity, courage and fierceness and these values are, in my opinion, necessary to survive in the modern world.

I also like to be mainstream, so I ...

This submission is confronted with two main questions. First, whether members of the Irish Republican Army, Hamas and various protest movements in the Arab world are terrorists or freedom fighters? Secondly, at what point does a political contest or method cross the ethical line between legitimate or illegitimate? The submission shall answer both questions consecutively in the ensuing discussion.

The IRA, Hamas and various protest movements in the Arab world may have nuances that easily qualify them as freedom fighters. However, by the nature of the aggression and attacks they engage in, the organizations and their members squarely fall ...

Many an argument has been proposed on the topic of divine omniscience, determinism and free will. It has been said that God has foreknowledge of all future events, and nothing he knows can be false, it is then difficult to conceive that something that has been previously known by a higher being, could be changed by an arbitrary decision of an individual in the present or future. This argument has been exposed by Pike in a very logical and clear way.

Supposing that God, say 80 years ago, knew that a person would watch a movie on Friday; and ...

One word that sums up succinctly the American ideal of our country is “Freedom.” American citizens and politicians routinely refer to the United States as “the land of the free.” As such one of the most important aspects of American democracy are that the freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness continue to be protected. Yet freedom exists in different forms and there are different ways that it plays out in people’s life depending on the perspective from where you are looking at and how you are choosing to understand freedom. In my view, there are ...

I was attracted to Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” even before I read it. The title was enchanting on some deep level. The story of an hour is a unique turn of phrase, just because we do not usually think of units of temporal measurement as having a unique story to tell. The story explores love from different angles.

After reading it, it is clear that the story is not actually about an hour, but about what happens in that hour. Chopin writes with a beautiful prose. It is simple, but powerful. Her use of simile ...

What is the interaction between personal freedom and infringement of people’s liberty? Well, in order to understand this association, it is important to go back in time. Personal freedom is based on the maxim of liberty, and this was envisaged by early philosophers such as John Stuart Mill. The maxim of individual liberty envisions that individuals have the freedom of choice and make decisions without any restrictions. Most western democracies have taken measures to safeguard personal freedom as a fundamental right, and this has seen the protection of personal freedom by most constitutions in the world. ...

“What is America” by Jesse Gordon is a collection of 24 photos of diverse individuals who seemed to come from different ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. As evident from the title, it could be deduced that this question was asked to these different people and their responses were noted below the respective photos. The photo-essay therefore showed, in addition to the faces of these individuals, the flag of the United States of America, being held across their chests. Thus, it was interesting to note that the responses to the question was unique and distinct to these individuals, depending on ...

Chapter 9

1. Why does Grundy think that acquiring Canada will strengthen the America union? Acquiring Canada will be an added advantage since the country has sufficient resources. If America adds up to its own form will be more strengthened for example, the essence of the human rights and freedom that they are fighting for to end the oppression and exploitation of other people, Canada, Americas share many things together, and the union of them will create more strength on American union. 2. Whom does Grundy hold responsible for Tecumseh’s uprising the conduct of Indian tribes he mentions? Grundy blames ...

How does happiness and freedom change over time? Definition of happiness by American media advertisement, and the 1931 concept of the American Dream by James Truskow Adams

Culturally it is believed that in the olden days, the happiness of the society was considered as superior to individual happiness. It was not all about what is good for the society and the people were contented with that (Chan, Wing-tsit, 1963). This is far from the truth because if people were indeed contented with the happiness of the society as theirs, then the change to happiness being all about the individual ...

Introduction

The women in ancient times had limited powers in making decisions in marriages and other social issues as well as the freedom to express their opinions in owning property and viewing their opinions in political and legal powers. These roles were exclusively reserved for men while the role of women was to take care of the children as well as take care of other household chores. This is in contrast to the women in Ancient Sparta who had equal powers and opportunities as men in terms of social duties, political and economic development as well as equal participation in ...

Surprisingly enough, it was this day that I realized that my brother is single and not engaged. As usual with the age and country mates, we were able ...

1930-39

Probably one of the best films of the 1930’s was ‘Top Hat’ with Cyd Charisse in the title role. Here one can observe feminism demonstrating that the woman was not just a pin up girl but she is capable of coming out with dance rhythms too. Kay Francis and Elizabeth Taylor also showed that the woman did have acting talent and was not just a simple bimbo.

1940-49;

Margaret Sullivan started focusing on the more sensual portrayal of the woman in ‘The Shop Around the Corner’ with James Stewart, her acting was definitely something out of the top drawer ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm. In this category would be included A) any act resulting in death (homicide, genocide, infanticide); and B) any “coercive or brutal” (Module 6, 44) at threatening or resulting in physical or psychological damage or suffering—including rape, spousal abuse, political imprisonment, for example.

Indirect violence is characterized by ...

Biography

Man is a social being that lives in a sociable environment (Andersen& Taylor 2006). Just like everyone else, I have encountered different people and things that have positively and negatively impacted my life as I go about life. One thing is for sure that this has also changed my feelings, attitude and reasoning towards life in general. Some of these sociological factors that have had an impact in me include race and ethnicity, religion, social class and sexual orientation just to name a few.

Race and ethnicity is an integral part that to a huge extent plays a very ...

The Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights is an official list of amendments, which defines the freedom that is owned by the citizens and the limits of the power of the federal government. Most importantly, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights help in dictating the rights and enhancing the law in cases pertaining to the violation of the freedom of rights. Therefore, the Bill of Rights forms the core basis of liberties and freedom that every individual has an inherent right against the federal government (Alexander & Alexander, 2005). Conversely, the elimination of the amendments from the constitution ...

Patriotic Act

The Patriotic Act was signed into a decree by minimal congress review or debate. This was done some 43 days after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The law was put as an extensive policy in the wake of the disaster. The changes were put into effect so as to help the fight and War against Terror. The public felt that they were at risk, and their prime apprehension was feeling protected. The subsequent years saw the public question the Patriot Act (Kevin, 2006). The citizens believe the act provides the government with much interference at the expense ...

Hume and Bergeson were philosophical scientists who are remembered for their contributions on humanity nature. Bergerson’s philosophy advocated for the fact that a person has a free will, which is conceived within their hearts. The basis of their decision is therefore based on what they feel rather than what they see. The imaginative nature of humanity is responsible for all creative that is seen in the world. Hume on the other hand emphasized the ...

For quite a long time, the issue of nuclear weapon development efforts by Iran has been on the political spotlight. This has to be related to the nuclear proliferation Act that was signed after the World War II where the nations of the world agreed that they needed to control the development of and ownership of weapons of mass destruction by different countries. This was in a bid to ensure the security of all the inhabitants of the world, mainly because if all the nations had such weapons and a third world war arose, that would be the end ...

Theory of justice is one of the political philosophy and moral works that has been developed in the twentieth century. It is very influential work of John Rawls’s which has great impact. In this theory, John attempts to develop a philosophy; in this philosophy he generates political structures which are intended to preserve individual liberty as well as social justice. In this attempt, John tries to counteract the predominant theory which explained that justice is intended for the greatest number of people to provide the greatest good. Therefore in this theory John looks into a person who is ...

1. Liberalism and Feminist theorist 

Central to the theory and practice of Liberalism is the freedom of individuals to make choices that will result to social outcomes. This particular school of thought believes that “the purpose of society is the advance of freedom, equality, and human happiness” (Auster, 2007, LA reply section). It is important to note though that when one person chooses not to respect the freedom and rights of other people, this violates the concept and therefore could not be considered under Liberalism. The various forms of liberalism: economic, social and political, adopt the central tenet, albeit ...

Introduction

In the last seven years the number of Americans who believe that the federal government poses immediate threats to peoples rights and freedom has increased by 16%. According to Gallup polls, the percentage of American who in 2005 believed that the federal government interferes with citizens’ rights and freedom was 30%, but this has since risen to 46%. Only 51% of the Americans believe that the federal governments do not pose threat to their rights and freedom. In fact 66% of republicans, 49% of independents, and 21% of the democrats think that federal government is posing immediate threat to ...

Kinetic theory of matter tries to explain all molecules in terms of motion. The theory posits that every substance consists of many small particles referred to as molecules. Substances in this case are called matter and are in three forms; solids, liquids, and gases. Solids have molecules that are closer to each other by intermolecular forces. Liquids on the other hand have molecules slightly far apart with gases the furthest apart. Furthermore, according to this theory all the molecules are in constant random motion referred to as Brownian motion (Chang, 2004).

The study of heat relates to kinetic theory ...

For the purposes of my narrative, I wish to write about the impacts and influence of the French Revolution upon the Haitian Revolution. When the Haiti slave rebellions started in 1791, there was already a tense and eventful buildup of concerns which started with the French Revolution's success. Seeing how far that kind of action took the French proletariat, and its effects riling plantation owners of the time to further action, the French Revolution had significant impact in the lives and actions of the slaves who lived in Haiti.

This topic is important due to the rarity in which ...

Summary

Preparation is the key to building the necessary confidence for speechmaking. While most people fear public speaking, if you are prepared, you will feel much better about getting up in front of an audience. Get a sense of what you look like, but not in a mirror – it won’t give you a realistic sense of what you are like as a speaker; instead, film yourself, and go before smaller ...

Part One

Dehumanization of society refers to the mistreatments of the people in the society. In this case, people are treated like animals either in their work-place or any place they live or stay. From the books by both Ritzer and Ehrenreich, dehumanization is shown clearly. In Ritzer’s book, he depicts dehumanization acts in the society, most especially at the working places.

Here we find bureaucracy systems as Ritzer tells us, uses rationality concepts but in the end results to irrationality, as a concept of functioning. This rationalism is linked to bureaucracy, since bureaucracy has made people be seen ...

Kolchin use the term ‘Paternalism’ to refer to the absolute control of all spheres of an individual’s life in a manner that he/she cannot harm himself/herself in an effort to get freedom. Paternalism therefore according to Kolchin, denies an individual the freedom and authority to make a choice. (Kolchin, 23)

The slave masters therefore exercised paternalism by denying their subjects the power to make a choice over issues that affected them. The slave masters believed that their subjects were not intellectually endowed to know anything and they should always be controlled.

He gives an example of children, because ...

We know from the information at the start that Louise Mallard had a heart condition, and we expect she’ll die when she hears about her husband. However, she doesn’t. Share your reactions about what happened to her instead.

Sula was Toni Morrison’s second novel, and was started in 1970, when second-wave feminists insisted on female solidarity; when labor market demanded women both in the workplace and at home, and when the position of women had not been as polarized by domestic ideology since the Victorian Era. It was a time when feminism ceased to be a middle-class privilege and women from all ethnic backgrounds took up their pens to voice their dissatisfaction. This novel may be considered a product of Morrison’s own curiosity towards female relationships, as she wonders in the Foreword to Sula: “What ...

Introduction

Most of the objects have similar characteristics as far as texture and composition are concerned.

This paper will analyze two objects from the museum: Sons of Liberty Bowl and the sugar box. Important to note is the ...

Introduction

A speech code refers to a regulation or rule that restricts or limits speech beyond certain legal level and, therefore, limits the freedom of speech. Speech codes are common in work places, universities and other private organizations. Usually, the main purpose of the speech codes is to suppress forms of social discourse or hate speech that is perceived to be inappropriate for the implementers. The issue of speech codes in universities has sparked opposition from the students. This has been motivated by a desire from the students to enjoy the rights of free expression and speech that other people ...

Civil liberties are the freedoms and guarantees that the government cannot limit to an individual, either by law or judicial interpretation. Such civil liberties are; freedom from forced labor and slavery, freedom from torture and death, and so on. Many contemporary states have constitutional documents and bill of rights that function to warrant civil liberties. Some laws have been enacted by different countries using different legal means like ratifying and signing or address some controversial civil liberties. Controversial examples include; reproductive rights, property rights, civil marriage and rights to possess and bear arms. The formal concept of civil liberties ...

One of the central questions of philosophy has always been a debate as to whether or not humans are free to make their own choices, or whether or not the causality of the external world affects are ability to make choices. This question is important because it underlies the centrality of what it means to be human and how culture is constructed. If freedom to make choices exists, then institutions such as prisons are just, because they punish on the basis of the assumption that someone who has committed a crime was acting freely and of his own violation. ...

Generally, the free speech zones are the places that are set aside in college or university campus or in the public places to use the right of speech in the United States. The term “free speech zone” insinuates that the free speech is not allowed everywhere. However, this idea must be to limit the unruly crowd to maintain peace and discipline. It is the responsibility of the educational institutions to provide safe and secure atmosphere to the students for learning and help them to excel. The free speech zones are not created to limit the freedom of speech, but ...

It is easy for any of the people living today to underrate the value of the freedom and equality enjoyed in the country. This freedom has not always been there. It is an effort of people who lived in the past and sacrificed their all to ensure that racism and ethnicity have been eliminated. After slave trade had ended, the blacks would hardly dream of sharing a restroom with the whites, the power to vote just a dream they never thought would come to pass. A black president would be a dream as impossible as a trip to the ...

Section 1

As McGregor explains, the Chinese Communist Party (The Party) had gone to the extent where the citizens are not allowed to control their own lives. The party has created minimum freedom different from the Friedman argument of the maximum freedom. Therefore, McGregor reveals the essential difference between the maximum freedom and the minimum freedom using examples of the minimum freedom in china. The desire for the Chinese citizens to chase for their own self-interest is constrained by The Party. In order to demonstrate how the maximum freedom society differs from the minimum freedom society, McGregor provides example of the ...

Exercise Two

The one way Anova test results are listed above (See excel file). Before beginning the one way Anova, the main assumptions are: all groups are normally distributed and have equal variances. We have three different groups: type one, type two and type three. Within the groups degree of freedom is df1=37 and between group’s degree of freedom is df2=2. At 5% level of confidence the f-value calculated is greater than the tabulated (critical value) of F. That is, 5.5774>3.2516, hence the null hypothesis is rejected. The variances for the three types of groups are significantly different.

Written by Huxley Aldous, Brave New World revolves around the making of a controlled world to ensure a healthy correlation among human beings. Said control is achieved through producing humans who fit at different levels in the society. With the Alphas leading and the Epsilon falling in the latter position, the world achieves a systematic classification that places people in clusters. Consequently, the text talks of two worlds that encompass the World State where the elite live and the Reservation where outcasts are controlled. Huxley informs his readers that, those living in the World State appear younger and better ...

U.S. History

The reason why the United States entered the First World War is justifiable. At first, the United States had pledged to be neutral; however, it later changed its stand when German mines destroyed and sunk several American ships that were travelling to Britain. The tension between Germany and the United States arose over Germany’s segregation of the Isles of Britain. Britain was one of the closest trading partners of the United States. In 1915, the Germans declared an unhampered warfare against all vessels and ships, whether neutral or not, that entered the war zones around Britain. ...

Rawicz escapes with the hope and intention of rejoining his troops and reuniting with his wife. The group that ...

Different views concerning slavery triggered division amongst the states consequently, leading to secession from the Union in 1860. Abraham Lincoln’s election as President brought conflicts especially among his opponents in the Democratic Party who held different views on how to deal with Slavery. Lincoln’s stand on abolishment of slavery pushed the south away especially, considering the fact that, agriculture was their main source of income and also because slaves played a major role in providing labor which would affect them considerably. States that seceded met in Alabama forming their new found nation and making Jefferson Davis their ...

There has been a number of debates as to whether college students should be given the opportunity to choose their courses or not. Like any contentious subject, there has to be opposition and those in support of the issue.

The Constitution rests on a proposition of all constitutional governments through the definition of limited governments. It adds that constitutions are legal and not simply political limitations to the government. There are considerations by various anti-thesis on the arbitrary rule. The contrary imagery to this is despotic government for which the government depends on willingness above law. As the constitution declares all men equal, what is the connection between equality, liberty and happiness? Liberty and equality are incompatible concepts that tend to conflict at most times. Liberty means being free from interference and this is what has driven liberalism ...

According to John (1), in prison, there is deprivation of security. When imprisoned, a prisoner is placed into prolonged closeness with other convicts who in ...

Shakespeare in the “Julius Caesar” play was much concerned about how individual lives. He provides an insight of the human’s life by raising the argument about the aptitude free will versus the power of fate in life. The playwright ultimately backs the philosophy in which freedom and fate have delicate coexistence. He uses characters such as Cassius, Caesar and Brutus to bring about the issue of the fate and free will. As Cassius and Brutus were attempting to eliminate Caesar from power, Caesar suggested “men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is ...

Introduction

Traditionally, colleges follow a top to bottom strategy, where all the major curricular planning takes place at a leadership level. Even there are myriad educational institutes, where the liberty of choosing the subjects is limited. On the other side, there are many upcoming educational institutions, where student-let curriculum is an emerging phenomenon. With excellent educational system in United States and United Kingdom, the educational planners are still concerned with high percentage of dropouts in the first year of university that is 25% in United States and 11% in United Kingdom (Yorke & Longden 2006, 16). This scenario causes immense problems ...

Analysis of "Outcast" by Claude McKay

Outcast written by the famous poet Claude McKay is a typical 14line sonnet that expresses the live that he went through and the life that he desired. He wrote the sonnet in the 20th century. However, an analysis of the sonnet reveals its relevance in the contemporary world. Claude expresses the dark background of his parents (line 1). Sometimes, we are not happy with our background, and we, therefore, strive to change our environment for the better. We strive to attain that position where our body and spirit desire (line 2). We might consider our experience as a shadowy ...
