    In chapters 8 and 9 of Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer quotes many of the negative letters, many of whom were Alaskans, he received after the original article about McCandless ran in Outside magazine. “‘I personally see nothing positive at all about Christ McCandless’s lifestyle or wilderness doctrine,’ […]” (Krakauer 71).

Some even believed, “‘Krakauer is a kook if he doesn’t think Chris ‘Alexander Supertramp’ McCandless was a kook,’ […] ‘McCandless had already gone over the edge and just happened to hit bottom in Alaska.’” (71).…

    Nasty political mud-slinging. Campaign attacks and person insults. These are some of the words used to describe the outrageous election between two very bitter candidates. Although this sounds rather similar to the present-day elections of 2016, it actually describes an election that took place more than two hundred years ago. This shocking election is told by Edward Larson in his narrative of the election of 1800.…

    In This Fleeting World, author David Christian attempts to cover world history in a mere 120 pages. David divides his book into three periods: the era of foragers, the agrarian era, and the modern era. Within these periods he describes the various lifestyles our ancestors lived in, the advancements achieved, and what ultimately brought upon the succeeding era. In essence, David Christian goal in writing his novel is to filter out the unnecessary jargon in world history and convey a more concise history of humanity (p. XVII). Therefore, I believe David Christian has succeeded his goal of constructing a persuasive argument backed with solid evidence.…

    Perhaps the single, most common answer to the question of the purpose of school is that it is to shape young minds in preparing them for the future. For some, school is where they go learn skills and techniques useful in the work world. For others, they are just forced to go to school, to be hassled with the burdens of overwhelming assignments, which deprive them of their ever so fulfilling social lives and other salient priorities. However, for the students in Crenshaw High School, school was a sanctuary, a safe haven; the only place where they felt accepted, worthy and optimistic. School was their only outlet where they could openly express themselves, especially in their English classes.…

In this paper, I will demonstrate the flaws and strong points of their approaches to social justice and determine which is more persuasive. More specifically, I will analyze Rawls’s social contract type approach to Nussbaum’s proposed “Capabilities Approach” and directly apply them to the issue of people with disabilities. Lastly, I intend to present a personal opinion on these two theories of social justice based on my ethical framework.…

    In this essay, I will detail the thought experiment of John Rawls known as “the original position,” the two principles of justice he believes this thought experiment results in, and, lastly, consider one objection to his claims. I argue that Rawls’ thought experiment offers a decent starting point to consider matters of justice and/or good and bad in society, but becomes compromised when we are asked to presume members behind the “veil of ignorance” do not know their conceptions of good. In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls considers the role of justice in society and posits a simple conception of just society. In Rawls’ view, justice depends upon a “scheme of cooperation” that enables all in society to achieve an agreeable existence, or the…
