Essays on Liberty.

When persons give a speech or even to write a speech, the greatest fear is in whether or not the audience will be interested enough to listen or read to the end. But in 1775, one man forgot these fears and created a speech that still captures the heart of almost every American citizen. Henry’s speech was riveting and the ending was so powerful that educators today continue to use this speech as a part of the lectures on developing rhetoric in persuasive speeches. Patrick presented his speech to convince the representatives in the House of Burgesses that ...

Introduction

When the civil war culminated, the individuals of South and North United States got focused towards an exclusive enquiry in their concentration about the behavior to be conducted with Negro slave. Few of the North and South Americans noticed their disappearance and few of them considered about the colonization of Africa. The notion of extinction received greater critics, and it was observed by Frederick Douglass that individuals who are deemed to be nationals of the United States are African-American slave who born in the United States. However, another aspect of the situation referred to the exploitation of the worker ...

Abstract Different literary works have displayed women in different contexts and status. Woman’s obligation and responsibility in social life has been shown in poetical expressiveness. Different poets have often moved from their present observation to the past reflection. The essay compares and discusses the two poems “Mang” and Tu Fu’s “Recruiting Officer of Shi-Hao.” Women and girls in families have often faced discrimination and denied basic human rights. The Chinese community has always considered women to be different and inferior to men. The two poems display the suffering of a woman, whether she becomes a wife or ...

Foundation Ethics and Values: The False Conviction. Bentham critiqued Mill for setting self-interest as a separate variable. Mill argued the democratic society requires the self-interest instead of the separate agent’s happiness (Elliott & Deni 2007). Mill’s father argued that women should stay at home. Mill believed that freedom is a part of the personal independence and liberty (John Stuart Mill 2012). According to the followers of intuitionists Kant and Reid, the knowledge exists a priori. Mill defended the importance of the logical conclusions before relying on knowledge (John Stuart Mill n.d.). Hedonists stated that pleasure is the only ...

Dr. Thompson I. Introduction In the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed that a woman has a constitutional right to decide whether or not she wants to have an abortion. Prior to the decision, most states had prohibited abortions other than in the case where a pregnancy was dangerous to the woman’s health. In finding that a woman has a right to choose, the Court held that the choice was a private decision that the state had no authority to interfere with, at least ...

4) Rule of law does not guarantee that republics and their criminal justice systems will be run efficiently, but the lack of rule of law guarantees that they will not be. If there is no rule of law then it follows that powerful people in the government or business sectors, or more likely in both, can break laws intended to protect the public from them, engage in corruption on a grand scale and generally run amok without fear of reprisal as long as they or their friends are influential enough to quash any response by the constabulary. One need ...

It is not at all uncommon for people to advocate dictatorship and otherwise straight up exerting coercive control over the lives of others for both their own good and the collective good of society. People like this are often called ‘internet authoritarians’ and are often accused of doing it as much to sound edgy and cynical as out of any serious intellectual effort they’ve put into reasoning themselves to that position. This accusation is often correct. There is a reason why we have systems of democracy and concepts of basic rights. Coercion is harmful to the subject’s ...

Jails and prisons both share the characteristic of being correctional incarceration facilities. However, the purpose and intent of these types of facilities differs.In your initial response, compare and contrast jails vs. prisons. As part of your comparison discuss the purpose and intent of each type of facility. Consider the type of inmate that is housed in each facility as part of your evaluation of these correctional facilities. There is no doubt that incarceration of any kind is considered as an unpleasant experience, since a convict is deprived of freedom. It is worth noting that the rights, policies as well ...

Quest for ethical values for a nice and sustainable political life is based on the advocacy focusing on natural moral standards and the available choices or options of judgment or behavior. Each and every society confines itself to given values, which could be perhaps inspired by specific purposes and committed to specific conceptions and goals for healthy life. Detailed overviews of everyday’s norms are the founding concerns of both the political philosophers, ethical theorists and political scientists. A Preamble of the United States of America Constitution, for instance, highlights the fundamental values that should be prevailing in the ...

As long as the Revolution of 1776 – 1783 established the United States, the Civil War 1861 – 1865 determined the kind of nation they are going to be. The war gave resolutions to two cardinal questions that remained unresolved by the Revolution: whether the United States are going to be a confederation of sovereign states or an impartible nation with a sovereign federal government, and whether it will remain in being the largest slave-owner nation in the world nevertheless it is born of a declaration which proclaims that all people have equal rights to liberty. When Abraham Lincoln won the ...

Liberty has a different meaning to different people. Some people may not even know liberty even exists because of the society they live in which is very oppressive towards certain ideas. Liberty to some people is the freedom from controlling government, the ability to decide one’s destiny, to be able to speak or write their thoughts, to not be confined based on one’s appearance, and to be free from foreign rule. While there is no real official rule about what liberty truly is, I had the opportunity to interview people from various backgrounds about what liberty is ...

The Kansas City experiment took place between October 1972 and 1973 (Kelling, Pate, Dieckman, & Brown, 2003). It was conducted by the Kansas City police department and later evaluated by the Police Foundation. The experiment found that routine patrols conducted using marked police cars do have a huge effect on the levels of crime. Also, it has no effect on the public’s feeling of security. The experiment showed that it is possible for police departments to test their strategies and that the patrol resources can be manipulated without compromising the public’s safety. The implication of this experiment is ...

Separation of powers refers to dividing government responsibilities into various branches that is aimed at limiting any one government branch from exercising each other`s core functions (Beermann, 467). This is aimed at preventing the concentration of power and providing checks and balances. The most critical principle that makes the Constitution is the separation of powers. In order to prevent the concentration of power, the constitution creates a system of checks and balances and divides the central government into three branches. Each of the government branches, executive, legislative and judicial checks the other branches` powers of the government in ...

Lincoln declared in the Gettysburg Address that ‘all men are created equal’ during a time when the United States was plagued by ‘a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure’ (“The Gettysburg Address”).

Lincoln successfully reminded the American people that despite the work soldiers contributed ...

Since time immemorial, I have always found fun and solace in watching wrestling. To me, the game has always been absolutely enjoyable as it’s been a must watch since I ensure that I spare my free time to watch its episodes whenever they are aired on television. In most of the times, I watch WWE smack down with my boyfriend and apparently, I have begun to act like the actual characters and also copying the storylines of the events that take place. To date, I have always been a strong and diehard fan of wrestling as no one ...

The search for a sense of self is one of the most important quests in the history of Western philosophy. Notably, it has been the main preoccupation of philosophers in the past few centuries. Before, people accepted people to have a certain nature, due to them being creatures made by and for God. They were all more or less alike, acknowledging a particular human nature given by this deity. Nevertheless, with the decline of the power of the Catholic Church and its consequences, along with the end of philosophy that G. W. F. Hegel heralded, the systems of thought ...

Researchers in India and certain parts of the world identified the active ingredient as azadirachtin, which is not toxic to humans. Researchers in the United States innovated ...

Social contract theory addresses political obligations and agreement among people to form the perfect society. Nowadays, the concept "social contract" is the main object of research for most experts in various areas of knowledge. These are philosophers and political scientists, lawyers and economists. However, it should be noted that the theory of social contract has the old history. It is possible to claim that it becomes a subject of discussion at the time of antiquity. There is a point of view that moral and political duties of people depend on the agreement between them for the purpose of development ...

Socrates was, and still is, considered to be one of the most profound contributors to human philosophy that has ever lived. In the end, he was, if anything, a bit progressive for his time. This was reflected in the fact that he introduced many new thoughts and ideologies that ran counter to culture at the time. As such, he was eventually arrested, placed on trial, and set for execution. With many supporters around the region, Socrates likely could have gotten free somehow. This could have perhaps took place via an escape, but he chose no such way out. As ...

Through early American history each new action and document established an important precedent for the young nation. For example, the Declaration of Independence created the foundation of a new country by not only declaring independence, but also by establishing essential truths on which the nation would be based. Equally important is the Gettysburg Address, which not only motivated future action, but also summarized actions that preceded it. In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln advances the idea that difficult tasks, such as wars, should be pursued to their successful completion in order to honor the fallen, a philosophy which has ...

“If the Empire were to continue to exist, a new understanding of its problems and fresh solutions would have to be found.”—Norman Itzkowitz in Ottoman Empire and Islamic Tradition, p. 108 quoted in Kevin Goodman’s “The Tanzimat and the Problem of Political Authority.” The above statement is made against the historical backdrop after the Ottoman Empire signed a “peace treaty” that ended a “six-year war, 1768-1774” with Russia, which was referred to as the Treaty of Kuchuck Kainardji (Goodwin 2). This represented a final blow in a “series of defeats” that took place ...

Still archrivals, the USA and Russia have not only the different perception of the political world making for their incompatibility, but also quite different political cultures. Liberty-wise, the USA is an oasis of human rights and liberties while, in Russia, people are sometimes not even at liberty to leave the country for a holiday. The USA scores much higher on the index of equal money-earning and political opportunities. Russia tops the USA with regard to corruption and the lack of the rule of law, the latter being important in the west. Beyond that, the USA is a resident’ centric, ...

Research design

The study will utilize a quasi-experimental design whereby the researcher would be allowed liberty to select subjects for the study. This is something caused by the nature of the study (Parahoo, 2014).

The Problems of Conscientious Objection

Conscientious objection, in the context of the nursing environment, is a situation in which a nurse does not feel comfortable with his or her role in a particular medical procedure. The topic of discussion here will be elective termination of pregnancy, or colloquially speaking, abortion (Wicclair, 2011). There are many reasons that nurses or other medical professionals may choose to object to certain medical procedures, but the issue of abortion is easily the one that becomes the most problematic in many countries (Wicclair, 2011). Different countries have different rules regarding the existence of conscientious objection; some doctors and nurses ...

Introduction

Gender is one of the themes that Morrison explores in her novel Sula. Gender roles help to create unevenness in terms of the power balance between women and men. This unequal balance of power that is prevalent in the social environment of her characters in Sula ultimately becomes a part of them. The impact of this is that it becomes nestled in the psychological conflicts they encounter and experience. In this novel, these psychological conflicts play out on the sexuality platform. The sexuality of the characters results in the internalization of the unequal balance of power between women and ...

Every individual is included in the American dream although their participation in achieving success is on an optional and voluntary basis. The American dream is an ethos in the United States that gives a set of guidelines and freedom that are necessary for an individual to achieve success, and a form of social upward mobility for their children and their families. Based on the statements made by Truslow Adams every individual is included in the American dream irrespective of the race, class, or status in the society. Life, in this case, should be richer and better for every individual ...

My predicament is paradoxical, and each decision that I make will be consequential. I have to acquire an internship position in XYZ Inc one way or the other. Lying is an option that I can explore because the company cannot seek my GPA scores from my college. Most companies do not do that, so the chances are that XYZ Inc will take me for my word. However, lying is not only ethical, but it will have a ripple effect. There are far-reaching consequences that can become a problem in the future if I chose to lie. I may rest and go ...

Over the years, the United States has gained global military, economic, cultural, scientific, and political dominance, which has allowed the country to have a significant influence on other nations. For instance, American influence and power have extended across different countries such as Iraq, spreading democracy and liberty through military invasion and the War on Terror. In addition, the United States’ political influence has been strengthened by its financial support to foreign countries through the U.S. foreign aid. For instance, Buchan argues that the U.S. has played a significant role in enhancing the relationships of the free nations of southern and Pacific ...

Ideology and ideograph commonly in political discourse are concepts that are mostly used to have support for political positions. The words used in such cases do not have meanings that are clear but then they are used to bring out the impression of clear meaning.

Michael Calvin McGee used this term in a more clear way. He claimed that many people used the term without knowing its meaning clearly as a synonym for doctrine in political organizations. When human beings are put together they think and behave differently than when they are separated from each other (Mc Gee p.120). Collective ...

Part 1 - Race in Mexico and Peru Native Americans were comprised of indigenous tribes such as Maya, Inca and Aztecs. They inhabited largely Mexico and Peru. Before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, the ancient civilizations lived in peace and harmony and were able to establish local empires that were rich in culture and traditions. With the arrival of Spaniards in 15-16th century, the civilizations were deemed to suffer either from diseases brought externally or by bloody conquests. With the engagement of Europeans, the African slave trade was introduced to the American continent. The population was mixed ...

P and I Rule Book. According to the American P and I Club Rule Book, there is a clause about claims that are payable at the discretion of the Directors. Section 20 of the Rule book, titled “Ominbus” clause outlines that there may be circumstances where the Directors may choose to pay on claims that they collectively decide should be paid.

If the liability is not excluded elsewhere in any of the previous nineteen clauses, then the Directors can choose to pay a claim. This seems to be a fair way for the organization to establish that there may be unusual ...

ABSTRACT

Frederick Douglass was a great man and truly brilliant public speaker, who spent his life working to abolish slavery and guarantee equal citizenship rights for blacks. He did not make a moral argument for nonviolence although he strongly denounced the United States for betraying its own principles of liberty and democracy for all. In his rhetorical situation, he was addressing white audiences that he hoped would be sympathetic to their cause, and had strong criticism for white Christians who had often been indifferent to the situation of blacks and failed to live up to the highest principles of their faith. ...

William Penn articulates that the church and the state should have a cordial, divine and collaborative relationship in order to help men pursue and live a Godly life. Using the Divine Law (jus natural), William postulates that the church is a facet of the society that is established by man as a God’s agent to help man control his passions and adhere to the divine laws, which are formulated and enacted by the state. In essence, the church and the state should support each and obey God’s provisions as envisioned in the divine laws. In other words, the State and the ...

Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davies led Americans in the Civil War. The titanic struggle remained the most divisive war in American history. The American Civil war started on 2nd, April 1861 and lasted for four years. The secession of South Carolina from the Union prompted Confederacy to command the US government to relinquish its fort in Charleston Harbor. Lincoln strongly condemned the attempt, and this provoked a Confederate attack. The Confederacy surrounded the fort and fought the Union forces with dangerous weapons. After two days, the Union forces were forced to surrender Charleston Harbor after the bombardment. After the outbreak, ...

Many historians acknowledge the Declaration of Independence as the starting point of the American statehood and one of the most prominent democratic instruments of the United States. A large part of the Declaration takes account of all kinds of accusations against the parliament and the monarchy of England that brought tyranny to the land and undermined the economic interests of the colonists. The true value of the document lies in its social philosophy that “defined three inalienable rights (Ginsberg, et. al. 2014: 18)”: “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (Declaration of Independence, US 1776, par. 2) The ...

In the year 1880, when Susan Coolidge published her book, A Short History of the City of Philadelphia, From Its Foundation to the Present Time, she observed the rapid growth of the city. She wrote, “It is difficult to realize, when studying any one of our large American towns, how short a time it is since the ground on which it stands was an unbroken wilderness, upon which eye of white man had never rested” (Coolidge, Chapter 1). Indeed, to stand in Philadelphia today, one absorbs a sense of great history, ideas, and progress, feelings that seem as if they should ...

The recent global financial crisis has called for a re-invention and re-definition of the relationship between the market and the state. This relationship has pre-occupied economic and political arguments for centuries. Political economists have constantly grappled with the question of the state’s role in the economy, of whether it should or should not intervene with the self-regulated market. Karl Polanyi, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Rousseau and John Locke are five theorists who hold disparate views on the role of the economy in the economy. Marx and Polanyi argue for a more active government while Smith, Rousseau and Locke thought that ...

Abstract

The United States was forming a system of government that had never been tried in a nation so large. The many Articles of Confederation and the Constitution represent the countries attempt to form a system of government true to ideas of the American Revolution.

The Constitution, from and ideological standpoint, was not entirely different. Many of the federal powers granted in the Articles of Confederation were the same powers granted in ...

Interpretation of Emma Lazarus's Poem The New Colossus

The statue welcomes immigrants from all over the world, and it offers high hopes and expectations to anyone coming to America. It id for that reason that the lines “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to break free" can be interpreted as America reaching out to all the people of the United States and the rest of the world; giving them surety that it will give them a home. Going by the mood ...

In a lecture presented by Dr. Samuel Gregg of the Catholic University of America Washington, entitled, “How can Liberty and Solidarity Address the Problem of Crony Capitalism?” he sought to explain the dangers of crony capitalism and the possible solutions entrenched within the Catholic’s teachings on liberty and solidarity. Accordingly, he first defined the concept of crony capitalism. Afterwards, he emphasized the danger of such concept when it thrives in a nation’s economy. The main danger, according to Gregg, is that crony capitalism diminishes that create power of every individual in the society, by limiting the opportunity for free ...
