He also mentions the values of equality and self-determination upheld by the Allies. He longs for these principles that have become universal everywhere but on the territory of the occupied Vietnam. It means that the Vietnamese have been suffering from the absence of equality and self-determination as well as other basic rights guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence under the lengthy occupation of both the French and the Japanese. Therefore, in essence, the ‘service’ provided by the Vietnamese for the free ...

Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation.

It is easy as a student of history to ignore major development with Native American tribes after the end of the nineteenth century and the so-called “closing of the frontier.” This is seen by many as the end of an era and a time where the federal government had finally settled its policy regarding the status and treatment of this country’s many Native American tribes. Charles Wilkinson in Blood Struggle paints a completely different picture of how the relationship between the tribes and the US government developed through the course of the second half of the twentieth century. ...

It seems like nowadays the concept of feminism gained a negative connotation equating its followers as fanatics and usually mocking their intentions. This movement, which managed to bring freedom and rights to women, is considered today as obsolete and irrelevant, as society believed that females were fully liberated. However, it is far from being true. Female professionals are still paid less than their male counterparts, women are stilled viewed through the prism of patriarchal values, and the dissemination of power between men and women remains unequal to these days. In order to revive the memories of the achievements gained ...

Nowadays social groups and individuals are not perceived as a closed and self-sufficient phenomena. They are included in the general relationship and interdependence. Universal interconnection, interdependence and relationships are extremely complicated by contradictory processes of globalization.

Decolonization can be defined as the act of a nation gaining independence from another country that had established authority over it.

This question is surely one that cannot be easily answered throughout the ages due to the aspects of both law culture that tend to go hand in hand and play off of each other. In fact, ...

Compare and Contrast Hegel and Marx on Civil Society and the Problem of Human Freedom

Essay

He viewed civil society as a body of needs wherein people align their specific personal interests with social expectations and necessities, which are finally negotiated by the all-embracing state. Hegel claimed that civil society is perfectly able to balance the wide array of human interests and needs. However, he further stated that the state, as a highly ethical entity, provides stability to the totality of needs by guaranteeing the security and strength of the division of labor, social ...

1.0 Introduction In the recent past, inequality has greatly increased in the United States. Arguably, the inequalities are occurring because the country has become a democracy where the majority and the rich use their power to block the attainment of equality. What essentially instigates inequality? History shows that inequality is as a result of differences in income, wealth distribution, and other social privileges acquired by virtue of societal status. Ideology, in this case, refers to the current underlying school of thought that sustains such levels of inequality among people of different races, ethnicities, and income levels among others. This ...

Classical liberalism had come the full circle of its utility before the 20th century. People seemed satiated with what governmental non-intrusion in the affairs of large industrialists did to their financial wellbeing. People were at no liberty to enjoy the deserved fruits of their labor. Thus, naturally, the welfare state of modern liberalism became a response to the shortcomings of the classical doctrine. However, the WW1 frustration coupled with the Great Depression in later years undermined the prevalence of modern liberalism giving rise to ideologies like Nazism, yet the Keynesian liberalism overcame the corrupt vision. Although an ally of ...

Doctor-assisted suicide is among the most controversial topics, which are facing the society in the contemporary world.

The Treaty of Versailles was an agreement between the Allies and Germany for a peace settlement at the end of the World War I. The Germany government had no choice but to accept the Treaty presented to it. According to the authors of Germany’s complaint, the treaty had many effects on the economy of Germany.

That in itself was a challenge because the country had suffered a lot economically during the war. For that reason, it ...

The conditions for peace discussed in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 did not ultimately favor Germany (“Comments of the German Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference on the Conditions of Peace,” 1919).

Introduction

The concept of sovereignty has been an indefinite, ethereal issue both in the national and global arena. However, wars give a concrete shape to this concept. 'Old' interstate wars accurately defined state sovereignty as the right of nation-states to be free from outside intervention. This definition has been largely respected in the past. But all things changed when the notion of 'new wars' came into the fore. New wars are hostile to state sovereignty, asserting that human welfare and human rights are superior to state sovereignty. Thus, new wars entail humanitarian interventions that infiltrate sovereign borders in the name ...

INDIGENOUS RIGHTS IN AFRICA: THEORY AND APPLICATION

Abstract The question of “indigeneity” is a vital issue in Africa. According to the Commission, all Africans are indigenous to Africa and no particular social formation can claim for the indigenous status. People often talk about ‘Western’ or ‘European’ concept of human rights, and thus compare ‘African’ and ‘Western’ thoughts. This issue occupies an important place in the vast literature that seeks to articulate an African approach towards the rights of the Indigenous people and thus compare such view with the Western concept. Despite the uprising of the consciousness of the African nations, many Africans have not made efforts ...

In his speech entitled Whenever the colored man is elevated, it will be by his own exertions, John Rock expressed the essence of freedom and aspiring self-determination, reminding his listeners of the truth that the Black people must exert enormous efforts to improve their status in society and, generally, their lives.

The argument was that specific models of self-determination, self-reliance, or autonomy would progressively push the forces of discrimination and oppression to give up, hence building a much greater opportunity for other Black people to raise ...

Thesis The good indicates one’s understanding of being, in which one halts from evil and incorporates the choices and beliefs that are considered good. It is a predetermined phenomenon in which one individuals try to incorporate good rather than evil in a rationalized manner. It eventually indicates that individuals indulge in the wrong only under the self-denial and unconsciousness towards the extent of good (Partenie and Tom 8). The extent to which one believes in good also accounts for the extent of self-determination which eventually empowers the individual towards new perspectives and laws (Partenie and Tom ...

It is challenging to fathom exactly what drives people towards accomplishment in life, but there are some reasons to believe that both external and internal forces play significance roles in motivation. “Motivation is the particular word commonly used to describe the situation of self-determination” (Deci & Ryan, 2014). The theory of motivation developed by Deci and Ryan (2014), suggest that individuals are necessarily driven by the need to grow to gain personal fulfillment. However, where does that motivation stems from? Deci and Ryan (2014) explain that “self-determination influences people towards accomplishing such tasks." First, people's activities and efforts are usually ...
