    Young generations are going to be affected by how they see American democracy. Despite the government inciting wariness of freedom, I also believe financial and material concern do play a role in this, however. People are more wary of an unregulated plutocracy that’s geared towards enriching the elites and not improving life for everyone. According to U.S. Census data, “over one-third of Americans under age 35 owned homes as of mid-2016, down 12% from…

    In Plato’s dialogue Gorgias, Socrates argues against Polus an ancient Greek orator, that tyrants and orators do not, in fact do what they want, instead they do what they see fit. As a result of this claim, Socrates believes tyrants and orators have the least power in their cities. This paper will primarily argue Socrates’s views through the definition of power, who holds the “real” power, that some things are inherently bad, and that there are different views of morality. The argument that Socrates sets forth states “If a person does whatever he sees most fit to do when he lacks intelligence, is this still ‘having power?’”…

    A clear example of how young American people have come forward and expressed their concerns over the future of the government was during the Women’s March that took place on January 21, 2017. Thousands of Americans attended this march to protest the women’s rights specifically, but was being spoken from every color, race, and gender of American people. The January 2017 march paralleled Martin Luther King Jr’s 1964 jobs and freedom March in Washington and the 2004 March for Women’s Lives. However, young Americans are hoping to leave a stronger and more direct impression on the government that any other protest that had ever taken place. How other way can young American people growing up in the twenty-first century have a stronger impact than protecting the rights of their citizens along with the government?…

She discusses the three R’s that shape her life: Rituals, Relationships, and Restrictions.…

    “If the talent of ridicule were employed to laugh men out of vice and folly, it might be of some use to the world; but instead of this, we find that it is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything that is solemn and serious, decent and praise worthy in human life.” – Joseph Addison People today simply don’t understand. Those that do simply do not care. Those that both care and understand are not understood or cared for, which is one of the problems Joseph Addison brings across.…
