When man was going through social evolution, there were certain factors that contributed in development of this ideologically structured community.

Introduction

Manderville argues that “private vices” (or self-interest) leads to “publick benefits” (such as social structures like language, law and markets).

This paper posits that the benefit of such a commercial society is that it enables people to turn their selfish and unsociable passion into good and positive things. The paper will evaluate this thesis in the light ...

Imagine yourself being a minority. Imagine being someone not among the predominant race: an Asian American or an African American.

Treating with respect means accepting people for who or what they are – regardless of their color, ethnic or racial background, age, religion, or social status in life.
