Despite the heroic deeds that they used to do, it is saddening that they do not get that much compensation for their actions. I am not saying that we should always give them praises but simple acts of gratitude like good benefits ...

Introduction

Peter Singer in his article “Famine, Affluence and Morality” gives a seemingly devastating critic on our ordinary way of thinking about famine, relief, charity, and morality in general. Despite his arguments, only a few people have accepted, or rather responded on the conclusions he derives. In line with these facts one might say of Singer’s arguments, as Hume claimed of Berkeley’s arguments on immaterialism, the “they admit of no answer and produce no conviction” (Hume, 1999). While my view on considerations presented by Singer shows that people should actually do more than other people do, they do ...

Twang

Twang is a five-member traditional country and western band from Montana. Their sound is reminiscent of country and western music of the 1960’s and ‘70’s that was infused with steel guitars, and the rhythmic sound of foot-tapping guitar licks that people easily got up and danced to. As I watched the video I found myself tapping along to their sound and being taken back to the days when country and western music came from the real roots of the genre. Their music is upbeat and reminded me of the days of Porter Wagoner and Asleep at the Wheel. ...

I can give him no other reason than general utility" (Utilitarianism, 1861). As a result, it can be inferred that rights are generally useful to the individuals who receive them, including the right to freely express oneself.

James describes utopia as an imagined place or state of affairs where all things are perfect and ideal.
