Obligation

In order for a state to derive its just powers from the consent of the governed, all individuals within the state must be able to give their consent, willingly and autonomously, knowing that to do so, is to incur certain political obligations to said state. They must also understand that in doing so, they also authorise certain actions of the state towards them. In the case of consenting to the UK state, these obligations are mostly in the form of an agreement to obey the law, and the acceptance of any sanctions/punishments the state may consider fit. This essay will argue that the UK cannot derive its just powers from the consent of the governed, as there is no way for the governed to truly give their consent to be obligated to the state.…

charity is too radical. This is because people do not judge others for indulging in something expensive but rather judge based on breaking a norm, which does not affect the conclusion. In order to change the separation between charity and duty to make charity a moral obligation, our requirements for judging actions would have to change. Moral obligations are shaped by what is the norm in our society which is made by the needs of a particular society. Duty requires those acts which are necessary…

plethora of people are made to feel like less of a person because they fail to conform to irrational societal standards. The idea of damnation is currently flawed because people think that if they are not perfect based on others’ perception, that they must be damned, and they allow others to list off the reasons why they are so incredibly damned. They assume that they hold an obligation to everyone around them, but this is why it is so enlightening when Equality and the Golden One understand the…
