    All of the great works of philosophy from Socrates to Martin Buber have utilized the tool of dialogue as a method of explaining their teachings. Philosophical dialogue is primarily a conversation between two people on the topic of a particular philosophy, generally the dialogue is between a younger inexperienced but inquisitive person and an older wiser master who in some cases is the founder of the philosophy being discussed. Many times the conversation is based on the questions posed by the young learner and the answers given by the master/founder. The purpose of using dialogue is to answer the readers’ questions about the philosophy’s teachings in a more natural way through the topics being addressed in conversation. Monastic teachings were…

    Puritans are known because they hold the pure word of the Bible high and consider the Bible as law. In “The Minister’s Black Veil” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mr. Hooper wears a black veil over his face that ultimately causes him to feel the effects of secret sin.

Hawthorne creates the Puritan community as a “vital character” in “The Minister’s Black Veil” in order to develop the effects of secret sin, display the natural purity of women, and to develop the parable to show the reaction to secret sin. Secret sin is one of the primary themes of this parable as Mr. Hooper is covered in the cloud of sin that his veil creates.…

    Throughout history, when historians consider the success of the Great Society, a divide appears, one side believing that the Great Society was a total failure and a huge waste of government money, conversely the other side believing that the Great Society really improved the American life and was a worthwhile plan. Two notable historians, George F. Will and Joseph Califano butt heads in this argument. Califano, who worked closely with Lyndon B. Johnson, believes that the Great Society was a huge success, which rebuts Will’s ideas that the Great Society caused over dependency on the national government and its provisions. Califano believes that the Great Society’s legislations brought down the poverty level and improved Americans lives in many…
