Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...

1. Liberalism and Feminist theorist 

Central to the theory and practice of Liberalism is the freedom of individuals to make choices that will result to social outcomes. This particular school of thought believes that “the purpose of society is the advance of freedom, equality, and human happiness” (Auster, 2007, LA reply section). It is important to note though that when one person chooses not to respect the freedom and rights of other people, this violates the concept and therefore could not be considered under Liberalism.

Reading of the article can lead one fair and honorable man to the conclusion that all the problems mentioned have internal origins.

Taking into account the importance of the high values, dignity, honour and other virtues ...

As technology continues to pervade our lives in new and increasingly interconnected ways, the ways in which it is used (and the values that are often attributed to them) becomes an even bigger question. Some might say that technology is value-neutral; it is not inherently good or bad by its existence itself, and any moral judgments that might be attributed to actions made through technology should fall on the people behind it, not the technology. However, the presence of technology itself does allow for these positive and negative values to spring forth. While technology provides an outlet for the ...
