"We believe that euthanasia is another technique to free society of disabled people and another expression of the ableism in western societies." The present speech is about euthanasia. Today euthanasia is legal in some countries. And the aim of that topic is to reveal the truth that euthanasia is a harm. Just imagine that people you love or even you can occur in such situation. Would euthanasia be a way out or a harm? I think no one can chose euthanasia for the beloved people. Now I want to speak about three things: first of all we discuss that euthanasia ...

As the population of black immigrants in the United States increased, legal codes were developed to ensure that they did not become threats to the whites in the United States. The following were some of the legal codes that were put in place;

- Blacks were not supposed to assemble in large numbers. - Any black who committed murder, raped or committed crimes such as stealing several times would be punished through being hanged. - The owners of the slaves had the authority to punish slaves. Punishment could even be through killing. - The dress ...

The value of correlation coefficient cannot be the measure of validity of correlation between features. This parameter depends on the number of degrees of freedom. For larger ...

In his article “On Being an Atheist,” H.J. McCloskey has argued in many instances that absolute certainty of God’s existence cannot be proved using the “proofs” embedded in classical arguments. According to McCloskey, the classical proofs for God’s existence do not portray Him as the all-knowing, all-powerful, or all-perfect being that Christians perceive Him to be. The existence of evil in a world created by a God with the qualities of being all-knowing, powerful, and perfect leads McCloskey to conclude that atheism would be more comforting than to believe in such a God. McCloskey’s disapproval of ...

Such a remarkable statement of Immanuel Kant,” one should always treat humanity, whether in oneself or in another, always as an end and never merely as a means. ” In addition, he argued, “the highest good is a good will.” The latter implies that to act from a good will is to act from duty. Kant’s formulation of the Categorical Imperative (CI) has a profound sense that hits every human core of thoughts. It would be necessary to exemplify this matter with the association with his approach in the business world to understand the profoundness of his formulated CI deeply. For ...

On the other hand, the methods of removing causes of 'faction' are; through the destruction of the liberty of which the faction exists and by giving every citizen the same passions, ...

Civil Rights Movement was a struggle spearheaded by African Americans in the 1950s to the late 1960s in order to achieve equal civil rights to those of whites (James, n.d).

12 Years a Slave

The concepts of freedom and democracy in America have developed significantly since the colonial periods. The foundation of these concepts lay in the enlightenment period when the colonists sought independence from the Crown. However, soon after the enlightenment period and independence only white people benefited in terms of freedom and independence. African American citizens continued to live with limited freedom and did not enjoy the benefits of democracy such as voting. Although America was independent, the thought of freedom and majority rule did not mean much to African Americans who were subjected to serve their ...

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. Democracy is a system of government in which people have a say in policies. A “good” democracy is one in which government decision are in sync with the will of the people. A “good” democracy also allow for the will ...

- Before defining what exactly or at least operationally Thomas Jefferson meant when he first coined and discussed the term the pursuit of happiness during the declaration of independence, it would be important to know who this man was, under what time or era he lived, so that as audiences, we could know the origins of his term and at least contextually determine what type of happiness the man was referring to. Thomas Jefferson during the Declaration of Independence in 1776 allegedly just replaced the original three terms used for or associated with happiness which was allegedly first coined ...

She first describes an incident that occurred when she was returning from a book reading and several aggressive border patrol stopped her and her companion. She began thinking about a book she had read describing thousands of disappearances in Argentina where the military police ran out of political prisoners to torture and terrorize and began randomly abducting citizens off the street. This passage establishes both ethos and pathos. The incident gave her first-hand knowledge of the fearing the loss of her freedom or worse.

In every religion, there are multiple terminologies used to identify followers who practice that certain religion a little differently than what is specified in the religion’s teachings. This difference in the practices is in contrast with the practices, which, a higher amount of followers do from the usual way as required or in the orthodox way.

Sects and cults are also religious groups that exist as minorities. These groups practice their beliefs of a religion, here Christianity, somewhat differently than what is accepted by the authorities. Their views differ than the major teachings of a religion in a way that they may derive ...

Democracy - political regime, which is based on the method of collective decision-making with an equal influence of participants on the outcome of the process. Decision-making process in a democracy is better than in other forms of government, because it forces decision makers to consider the interests of the general public and provides them with more complete information. Democracy also has a positive influence on morality, as the consciousness of own influence on current policy encourages the development of personal dignity, responsibility, sense of justice and desire for the common good. Increase of the moral level of society and officials also ...

Existentialism is understood as a general approach used to reject certain systematic philosophy rather than a systematic philosophy itself. It looks at how women become a term that acts in opposition of man, how structural components take away freedom from women and discourages the creation of homorganic man and subordinate women (Gardiner, 18). Derived from the school of thought of Simone de Beauvoir, it looks at how women are not powerless and do not need to depend on male-female relationship. Simone believed that, the key to women freedom is economic and therefore women have to get involved in income generating activities. In ...

1. Nietzsche in his work distinctly differentiated slave and master morality. During his time, and for conservative thinkers of today, there are traits that are considered noble and positive. These traits including meekness, humility, pity and other characteristics that might be universally defined as kind are to him, weak. This kind of thinking is what he refers to as slave morality because it is not assertive and people who think that way are not strong enough to become masters of their own world. He condemns the philosophy which embraces these characteristics. To him, a master morality is one that is opposite ...

Alice is a school counselor in her early 30s who has a severe drinking problem, which leads often to the neglect of her children. She also has a strained relationship with her husband, an airline pilot who is often not home. Alice is constantly aggravated and stressed, often stemming from her husband’s controlling, co-dependent behavior which she wishes to push away from. According to reality therapy, there is no specific mental disorder that leads to these problems; these human anxieties are all part of the human condition. Alice’s motivation for her behaviors may stem from the four basic needs for ...

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 policies. In ...

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 wear jeans like ...

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 within ...

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 if God is omniscient ...

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 has a poetic ...

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. Nevertheless, personal freedom ...

“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 ...

Introduction

Wide Sargasso Sea was written in 1966 novel by Dominica born renowned writer Jean Rhys. This post-colonial parallel novel has put the author in the limelight being her most successful novel. This novel is a premonition of charlottes Bronte’s novel of Jane Eyre 1847 novel.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 important role in the life ...

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 may be inconsiderable and ...

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 of ...

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 fact that desire was the main inspiration aspect that comprise of a human. The driving force behind human action is derived from their desire to see them ...

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 of the planet. ...

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 very ignorant ...

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 in different contexts.

Liberalism, ...

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).

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 groups of people and use their opinions to help you improve.

Working in teams can be highly effective, because they allow people with different skill sets to combine their strengths and counteract ...

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 as robots ...

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 of ignorance, ...
