    The subject for the article “The Age of Protest” by Thomas Friedman revolves around today’s act of protesting and how people are “becoming more morally aroused” from these various protests.

Also since many people are aware of different protests happening, they experience a moral debate about it as well of the decisions made during the event.…

    In Taming Democracy (2007), Terry Bouton gives a thoroughly somber interpretation of the achievements of popular economic and political reforms within Pennsylvania resulting from the American Revolution. Bouton argues that despite increased suffrage and political participation, the majority of “ordinary people” were disappointed in the system of democracy which evolved in the decades following independence. While a significant proportion of white males achieved notable political rights as a result of the revolutionary movement, “in terms of economic well-being that gave independence its meaning, life in postwar Pennsylvanian resembled the dark days of the 1760s and 1770s.” The elite class of society, who during the 1760s and 1770s supported…

    As I watch television, or drive through the city, all I see are advertisements. In my personal opinion, I rarely pay attention to advertisements, unless they deal with life of humans, animals, babies, and fashion.

Advertisements can be seen any and everywhere and its purpose is to persuade the viewers to get a certain item.…

With the goal to make profit and have consumers fall in love with products and services, advertisers make sure that they can persuade buyers to purchase their products. Numerous advertisements emphasize the importance of aristocracy and upper social class in their advertisements to stress the necessity of power to stand above the high social standards rather than the luxury of power that does not push many to have.

While the term “democracy” is used liberally to describe a wide array of governing systems, it is assumed that most “democratic” governments share similar principles that highlight individual freedoms. Robert Dahl, in On Democracy, makes his case for the democratic system. Dahl argues throughout the book that democracy should not just be viewed as desirable; democracy is the most viable governing option for the modern state. Therefore, achieving the highest levels of democratization ought to be the goal of all governments that are considered democracies.…

    Question 1 Introduction Businessman and consultant Michael Philips ' essay “The Inconclusive Ethical Care Against Manipulative Advertising” provides a nuanced and compelling critique of ethical criticisms against manipulative advertising. While nevertheless conceding that the practice of manipulative advertising itself is problematic and unethical, he suggests that the premises upon which ethical criticisms of this practice rest are logically flawed, and fail to provide a cogent critique of how advertising apparently “socializes people to a life of consumption” (Phillips 37). Critics of manipulative advertising are cited by Phillips as couching their critiques within the language of ethics, a phenomenon which he believes fails to adequately…

    Utopia by Thomas Moore and The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx reveal insight from the perception of two men of what the perfect world would consist of along with how it would function. Utopianism is a much more imaginative condition whereas Marx ideas could be considered more applicable. These are good concepts to consider and study, however it is reasonable to claim that there will never be a truly perfect society. The purpose of this paper will be to go more in depth into both books and gain better understanding on where the authors were coming from with these what seem to be absurd ideas. Marxism and Utopianism share many unique ideas that while carefully thought through, will never result in a perfect society.…
