Essays on Majority

The overall goal of a democratic government is to ensure that the greatest number of people within said democracy are represented - that their desires and needs are met to their satisfaction. As such, the idea of a 'majority rule' is thought to be the defining component of the concept of a democracy1. According to Follesdal, "The contractualist case for majoritarian mechanisms in general is that such mechanisms secure the relevant interests of affected parties from standard harms to an acceptable extent"2. However, does the concept of 'majority rule' really function to serve the best interests in a ...

The Ox-Bow Incident is an American western movie directed in 1943 by William Wellman and based on the novel by Walter van Tilburg Clark. The movie became a classic due to its original storyline different from the usual western movie plots. The movie is nowadays considered a movie classic due to its historical value and the importance of the message it delivers. Usually, the theme of the westerns revolved around morality and justice enforced or restored by a single character, classically a cowboy. The theme of The Ox-Bow Incident, however, is a tragic one, as not only the injustice ...

The possibility of a “tyranny of the majority” is emphasized in the de Tocqueville reading and also in Madison’s Federalist Paper #10. When comparing and contrasting both author’s thoughts on tyranny of the majority, you come across de Tocqueville’s feelings towards a democracy and Madison’s feelings towards a democracy too, both authors seem to follow the same goals but instinctively it really falls on the author that feels the majority is overbearing. De Tocqueville felt that a society that was comprised of equal citizens shouldn’t just depend on the majority being right, since they ...

The philistines, the idealists and the realists

In society we have three clusters of people. The majority, the minority and the other wise classified. From this arrangement, the majority usually has the upper hand in the creation of policies, theories and lifestyles. The minority on the hand have no option that to abide by the specifications set aside by the majority. The other wise classified, do not have a problem in agreeing with the majority but if they are right. From the above setting, it is easy to understand that the numbers dictate the shape of the society. The majority is the backbone of the society. ...

The American government: Deliberate will of the people

Most countries give their citizens the ultimate right to decide what is good for their country; however, the American government practices a different type of rule where the majority views do not necessarily overrule the minority. Consensus takes most of the decisions made by the American government (Sandoz 109). In the consensus system of democracy, the people in leadership discuss on the decisions that face them and review the possible courses of action viable for the prevailing situations. A decision on what suits the situation best comes from the agreement among the leaders without consulting the elected members or ...

Question 1Consciousness Industry Approach
According to Jhally’s perception and approach about the consciousness industry, the core objective of the media in the current world is to produce and maintain shared thoughts within the public in general. Generally, every society is characterized by an uneven distribution of wealth and income based on the global economic systems. The majority of the economic systems especially capitalism aids a small proportion of people in the society to gain control of the means of production.
The consciousness industry approach can be termed as an institution based approach, which is concerned with the core ...

Hehman et al. (2012) investigated group attitudes about policies that affect minority groups. The researchers discussed the main two ways that immigrants are integrated into society, and the preferences that White and Black people have about them (Hehman et al., 2012). The first type of integration is called assimilation in which immigrants give up their previous culture and completely join the mainstream culture and attitudes of their new home. The other type is called pluralism in which immigrants take part in the culture of their new society while also keeping their previous cultural identity. According to Hehman et al. ( ...

James Madison was the fourth President of the United States and one of the founding fathers of the nation. He wrote America’s first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, as well as the Bill of Rights. Despite his many accomplishments, Madison is probably best known for his theories on democracy and democratic government, which has often described as Madisonian Democracy. Madison was a strong believer in democracy and the right of a people to choose their leaders by a majority of votes.
However, Madison also understood that if limits were not put on what a majority could do with ...

Introduction

With the emphasis of social economy at the end of 20th century and the beginning of 21st century, the rhetoric of human rights and of equality between gender, races, ethnicities, etc., has entered into a new dimension. Activist groups supporting the equal rights and benefits for the vulnerable groups (people belonging to different races, ethnicities, religion, sexualities, people with physical or psychical disabilities or women) have supported this rhetoric through peaceful or violent manifestations. Their requirements have been integrated in programmatic documents and in some countries, like United States, such requirements have been implemented under the form of affirmative ...

Persuasion is an important goal of public discourse and it can be achieved in many ways. However, since ancient times, politicians, salesmen, and public figures, often resort to invalid argument or fallacies to persuade people to accept that what they express is true. This can be made intentionally or not, but the arguments made this way are wrong nonetheless. This work analyzes three arguments taken from different internet sources, to spot fallacies committed identifying the premises used and the conclusions they arrive to. This way, one can find out what the argument is trying to prove and why its ...

Explain how health inequalities may be understood as inequalities that require structural level explanations.

Inequalities in health are deplored in modern democratic nations and equal opportunities are extolled in principle, if not in practice. The legacy of racism and economic inequality can be rooted in history and is still permeating in the status quo. Inequalities in health status, disease occurrence and mortality are shaped by accumulated wealth, material circumstances, environmental quality, nutrition and a wide range of personal behaviours, genetic inheritance and health services (Bhopal, 2006).
Within multiethnic societies, European-origin White populations are characterized by being richer, more powerful and enjoying better material circumstances, environment quality, and health services than non-White ethnic-minority populations. ...

The complete failure of the Arab nations to form a national narrative for the purpose of unification and the establishment of contemporary egalitarian polities happens to be the primary cause behind the ongoing socio-political explosion in the Arab world in recent times. Unity is no longer the major goal and the construction of a society that is capable of mobilizing its resources to combat backwardness and enhance the financial condition of the state has taken a backseat. The elite class has instead tried to enforce a brand of unity via Islam and Arab nationalism that has alienated portions of ...

The United States Federal ensures that the decisions made in relation to its citizen are fair and just. This is where the concept of majority rule comes into play. The democratic system in the United States of America is one that operates under the reference of majority rule. However, it is important for countries to address issues concerning the welfare of the minority groups within the society. The aspect of majority rule is somehow contradictory when it comes to considering the rights of ...

Before Alexis de Tocqueville wrote the book “Democracy in America,” the problem of “tyranny of the majority” had hit the American society in such a way that the majority enjoyed the sovereignty of the minority. It was until after the French revolution that most scholars such as John Stuart Mill and Tocqueville opted to devise mechanisms through which they would adopt in reducing and preventing the sustainability of the vice. This is because the minority groups from various religion and races had become slaves in such a way that they could not influence any problem solving or decision-making process ...

In the year 1981, the California Supreme Court rendered a verdict convicting the defendant of secondary murder on the conduct of causing a fatal accident as a result of reckless driving. The court found rationality in concluding that the defendant’s behavior was deliberate and unprovoked, and he consciously disregarded human life. However, it can be argued that the court failed to define exactly when the conduct of an intoxicated driver can be regarded as an implied malevolence. ...

A brief analysis of healthcare and its social and economic impact

The contemporary world has several issues, many of which are attributed to the majority world. The healthcare scenario in particular, is in a pathetic state which has seriously affected its growth. Despite suffering immensely from communicable and non communicable diseases, high rates of maternal deaths, the prevailing situation is worsened by the lack of infrastructure and development. The relationship of health and economy is immense and is evident in the majority world, which sees poverty and poor health. The role of the global pharmaceutical companies too needs to change to provide relief to the effected sections. Cooperation and investments ...

Miranda v Arizona

The form also stated that the defendant was well aware of his legal rights as well as the fact that any ...

Introduction

Tyranny of majority is a phrase used by Alexis de Tocqueville in the book Democracy in America. Tocqueville used this phrase to imply a situation where the majority uses their influence to victimize or oppress the minority. Tyranny of majority presents a scenario where if the majority influences all matters in the society then the rights of the individuals and the minority will be vulnerable. Tocqueville argues that, tyranny of majority is comparable to a modified form of dictatorship where the majority oppresses the minority. It is a dangerous system of democracy and should be discouraged to avoid manipulation ...

John Stuart Mills Tyranny of the Majority

John Stuart Mills fears that if no limitations are implemented to the rules of the majority, then there is a possibility that this “freedom” will be exploited and there will come a time when the majority will oppress the minority. Mills fear that someday, the minority will not have any freedom to choose their own religion, language or culture which will eventually stop them from having an identity of their own because the majority will rule over them. Since Mills lived in a world when there is prime distinction between the rich and poor and the poor outnumbers the ...

We are often contracted to be coerced by our everyday actions because we believe that everyone in the group is better off. If a person buys something voluntarily, they know that they will have to pay tax on that product because it is of the benefit to the majority. There will be harm from the state if they don’t pay the tax or they will not receive what they want. There is a problem when people can’t make good judgments or there is a choice or alternative and the only option is to participate. This is not ...

Sources of Finance for Small and Medium Sized Companies

The growth and development of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is largely dependent on the available sources of finance. SMEs form the foundation for many economies given their ability to promote dynamism, economic growth, and the flexibilities of the business sector. According to statistics from OECD, SMEs account for an average of 98% in most counties and are the most dominant forms of business organizations (OECD, 2006). Equally noteworthy is the contribution of SMEs in the employment sector of most countries. Sweeney (2010) posits that SMEs are associated with the development and innovation of new products.

George Ritzer defines socialization as the process that allows an individual to learn and accepts the ways of a group or society as a whole (Ritzer 154). This is the theme for this part of the paper. Individuals would always find themselves in the midst of this process as they go about their daily activities. Socialization becomes inevitable in a dynamic environment where people lives by the cliché no man is an island.

Distribution of political power can be categorized in three forms, where an individuals’ power takes the form of social order through their status. It can also be shown through the economic order of their class, while the political order entails the party. These aspects largely affect individual areas as well as other perspectives such as wealth, prestige and power. Power can be grouped into two dimensions; where one includes the possession aspect and the other is the exercising part (Staples, et al. 2004). The possession of power involves the ability to have authority within your jurisdiction that allows people ...

Socrates, in Book 5 of Plato’s Republic as explained by his student Plato distinguishes the terms faction and war. Socrates distinguishes the two terms by stating that faction is hostility towards one’s own people. On the other hand, he refers to war as hostility towards strangers. In the book, which is written in a dialogue form, Socrates is speaking to Glaucon whom he tells that faction only occurs between kinsmen. He further illustrates by giving an example of a Greek race fighting against another Greek who are its own and kin, as faction rather than war. On ...

In terms of ethnicity, the shift from dominant minority to dominant majority is noticeable on an international level in recent times. A major principle of the pre-modern organization is domination by minority groups, usually an ethic minority, but in the modern era, the ethnicity of dominant majority is on the rise. The focus on popular sovereignty, democracy and the intermingling of politics and culture has made the principle of ethnic dominance more untenable. The latest example of this change is evident in Iraq; it is easy to spot the vulnerability of societies dominated by minority groups like Bahrain and ...

Q.1. Before providing assessment of the case, whether or not there is a ground for legal action, the main problem has to be determined first to be able to construct a sound judgement. The main issue is that Cotton Limited, which happens to hold 89.5% of Satin Co. Limited's shares is pushing the minority shareholders including Silk to sell their own shares to Cotton Limited. The decision to buy-back the minority shares was made by Satin's board members themselves. Therefore, the idea of making the company a wholly owned subsidiary constitutes validity because the agreement was made by the ...

The United States Constitution provides for the impeachment of the President for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (Article II, Section 4) but nowhere defines them. It was based upon this arcane phrase that the House of Representatives voted by a majority to impeach (essentially, to indict) the seventeenth president of the United States, Andrew Johnson. It was now up to the United States Senate to garner the required two-thirds majority to convict him, the penalty for which was removal from office.
At the outset, it should be stated that Johnson was impeached because his views as a southern Democrat (although ...

Abstract

In the framework of the modern merge between philosophy and economic theory, two opposite theories of socio-economic development of human civilization are of specific interest. The first concept theory is Mill’s perception of the liberalism and its further contribution to formation of free market system. The second one is classical Marx’s theory of socialism, which should save humanity from social stratification and anarchy of the free market. In order to understand the correlation between those two concepts and realize what might be wrong about liberty, Mill’s work “On Liberty” will be analyzed from the perspective of ...

The above stance collaborates with the fact that Saudi women are well educated, ambitious and determined. In the last 40 years, the Saudi government has built an educational infrastructure that reduced illiteracy rates, especially in women.

Furthermore, the analysis is in line with the postulation that much of the wealth in Saudi is under the control of women; women ...

As inaccurate as the media is sometimes, it is common practice for people to believe in the things that they see. This is the case when it comes to people’s perceptions about race, ethnicity and class. The ...

The United States Senate (2011) uses the term filibustering to refer to the extended debates or any tactics done by Senators to block a measure by preventing a vote. This is an expression of the right to debate and can turn into an endless balderdash which can only be ended by a cloture, which can be invoked by a super-majority of three-fifths of Senatorial votes, not to halt the filibuster, to impose a time limit to possible dilatory motions.

1. “Much Madness”

This short poem denotes the juxtaposing idea that madness can actually be perceived as a profound, truest kind of sanity, in the lines “Much madness is divinest sense,” because for one to be aware of the fact that one is insane, one has to be in full possession of his senses to grasp this notion. In other words, to be insane and know it is to hold a firm grasp on one’s reason. But still, Dickinson is referring to it as “sense” exactly because it is not defined by reason, but what the majority of ...
