- This topic explores how the concept of authority is viewed in America. - It is argued that exerting authority or ‘pulling rank” in America has traditionally been seen as a sin against democracy. - The rejection of democracy by Americans is symbolized to rejection of the “authoritarian European father. This aspect is visible in the military. For instance, during World War I, GI’s were known for often-refusing orders from their superiors.

(133) In the light of the strife and suffering, witnessed in New York when Hurricane Sandy made landfall, people feared that her worst visions of government failure and mismanagement of the crisis had come to pass.

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most fascinating and mind-twisting movies I have seen a movie which I very much liked both in terms of its entertainment and philosophical qualities.

After that, we were able to study different topics such as Critical Consciousness, Hegemony, Counter-hegemony, economics of power, meaning and mediating, Learning, language and liberation, and reclamation. The objective of this paper is to deconstruct my thoughts when the first reflection paper about the film Artificial Intelligence was written based on the things learned during ...

Same-sex relationships have become quite common, often even referred to as “marriages,” but they do not receive the same recognition from federal and state governments. In fact, neither lawsuits ...

The idea of adding the ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution is noble. This is because the constitution of the United States is a rigid document that does not change with the evolving dynamics of society. The constitution of the United States was formulated at a time where the rights of particular segments of society like slaves were overlooked by the drafters of the constitution. As a new nation, a segment of United States’ politicians were anti-federalists. These politicians felt that all powers should not reign with the federal government but should be reserved to the states. Therefore, the ten amendments were vital ...
