Essays on Tenets

Emmanuel Kant describes enlightenment as a situation of self-awareness where an individual emerges from self-imposed immaturity. Thus, this state marks a transition from darkness to awareness, and it comes with freedom. Moreover, Kant regards immaturity as a complete inability of an individual to use his conscience or understanding without the intervening guidance of another person (Deligiorgi, 2005). A clear lack of resolve and courage precipitates to the denial of personal freedom, but an affliction on others for sole guidance. Principally, Kant’s assertion about enlightenment is entrenched on having the courage to use personal understanding and courage to dispense ...

Introduction

In the world of commerce, most individuals and organizations act on the basis of delegation. And delegation of authority leads to the formulation of an agency relationship.

This include the provision of some parameters within which the agent can ...

Abstract

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons. The noble cause of saving the international image of the USA formerly allied with the late leader in the wake of the Gaddafi demonization could have been the driving force of misrepresentation of the myth related in part to ethical minorities. The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...

The US Constitution allows Congress the power to deploy the ‘militia’ with the objective of “executing the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” In addition, it ensures that the states are protected against aggression to overthrow the “republican government” and, upon the request of the state government, against civil disturbances. These constitutional tenets are seen in the 1807 Insurrection Act prior to and after the adoption of 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The latter bans the deliberate engagement of any component of the Army or the Air Force unless allowed by the ambit of Congress ...

Abstract

Africa is a continent that is divided by many countries, literally.

That number only increases if the timeframe gets adjusted to the past hundreds of years. Africa and countries within it like Nigeria are rich in natural resources. However, because of the long history and apparently unstoppable occurrence of civil wars and other forms of armed conflict, they are prevented from benefiting from that advantage. In this paper, the author discusses ...

However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

1. Do you take Antigone’s or Creon’s point of view? Defend your decision. I would take Creon’s point of view.

It's true that as long as individuals may divert from the ethical path by losing the way to engage in intentional bribery and corruption. Creon says that people have often succumbed to the hope of gain, thereby making him suspect that almost everyone at one point has been involved in bribery to betray their public duty. He is categorical ...

Daoism comprises a mode of traditional Chinese thought that is thought of as both philosophical and religious. Rather than being primarily concerned with this conflict in ideology, however, Daoist thinkers have been primarily concerned with conceptualization of the natural world and the underlying influence that propels it forward in its evolutionary path throughout time. Morality, leadership, and personal development are all fundamental tenets held by Daoist thinkers. Two of the primary contributors to the history of Daoist thought were Laozi and Zhuang Zou, the writers of the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi respectively. While these philosophers each demonstrate a variety ...

Native Oil

Oil, a source of wealth and power, is often a contested ground of conflict. This conflict is further intensified if erupting between parties of different cultural backgrounds. Then again, conflict over oil assumes further intensity still if accompanied by acts of mass displacement of native populations. The enjoyment of wealth becomes, accordingly, a double crime of capturing natural resources illegally and occupying native land. The case of Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota is one most insightful example (McDonald).   Red Tipped Arrow, or Tex Hall, is a tribal leader who controls, via a board, one-third of oil production in ...

Developing the question

The choice of the question “For hospitalized elderly patients how does hourly rounding compared to two hour monitoring help in reducing the occurrence of falls and their subsequent injuries?” was based on the need to explore the importance of regular and frequent monitoring for these patients to manage the cases of falls.

The general understanding of a radical is that they seek change in some form, be it good or bad. An extremist exists outside of society, standing on their own or with like-minded individuals that see themselves apart from whatever society they have chosen to depart. Radical extremists are typically those who believe that their way is that which must be followed. Anyone that dares to disagree with them tends to become an instant enemy, and a potential victim. Through threats and acts of violence radical extremists have caused the loss of freedoms and liberties that many citizens have taken ...

Introduction

Correctional reforms are an important part of the criminal justice system. The reforms can reduce recidivism or have the opposite effect depending on its implementation based on cultural beliefs. Every region of the world has its unique philosophies. Despite changes in political paradigms, the cultural values find their purpose even in the new laws. Eventually, all penal systems aim to achieve an intolerance for criminal behavior from their respective civilian population. The success of any reformist drive must have the potential to derive a law that will work for the entire community. Although this criterion might seem difficult, it ...

From the standpoint of Marx religion is ...

Thatcherism is typically described by analysts and political experts to be an ideology which espoused achieving a supported governing competency with the reconstruction of traditional conservative tenets with a focus on autonomy over a series of issues, they deemed as issues of “high-politics” Moravcsik, 1991).

Even though the building of cities has a long and a correspondingly complex history, the concept of city planning as an organized profession has only been around for less than a century (Garvin). Practiced under several names (town, community, urban land use, or physical environment planning), most cities in the current modernistic concept of planning display considerable degrees of forethought and conscious design not only in their physical layout but also in their functioning. Today, the building of cities is done for several reasons that bear in mind the diversity potential of urban forms and the complex functions that ...

Introduction

Francis Scott Fitzgerald characterized his main character as “great”, yet the author managed to insert several meanings into this notion. Gatsby is overwhelmed with money, luxury, parties, but this emphasis on the material things emphasizes another issue in the novel. It is possible to claim that Fitzgerald makes the main hero to disguise himself behind the trumpery of ongoing parties and mysterious reputation. The main purpose of Gatsby seems to be rather controversial, as he is clearly avoids fulfilling his mission to win his love (Matterson 5). It is difficult to find that notorious greatness in the character’s ...

Transformative learning, unlike traditional learning, empowers students to re-define the meaning of their experiences. It sets aside meandering assumptions and voodoo rules to explore one's capabilities, new roles, and responsibilities.

This paper is an exercise to reflect on a personal learning experience through the lenses of various tenets, principles, and practices of transformative learning. While I narrate my experience in detail, viewing and reflecting it through the concepts of transformative theory strengthens my knowledge about ...
