Absolute zero

Frederick the Great became king of Prussia in 1740, his reign as absolute monarch was unique and unlike no other. An absolute monarch is a king or queen whose actions are restricted neither by written law nor by custom. The goals of an absolute monarch are to create a successful army, improve the economy, centralize government, and pacify nobility. These are all important because they make the country stronger and more successful because they can protect themselves, make money, and have a strong…

In the article “Zero Tolerance for Zero Tolerance” by Richard L. Curwin and Allen N. Mednler the authors start by discussing how schools should not use the zero tolerance policy with every student. The Zero tolerance policy was first originally established to help improve safety in schools. This can be done by making sure that all children regardless of their age, race, athletic ability, and or parental influence. The authors explain how the schools used this as an excuse to treat all the…

The public relationship with law enforcement over the past few years has been increasing in a positive number. There are still places that suffer under problems with faulty methods of policing that are creating more issues as time goes on. We can look at a few examples of faulty policing by looking at reports from the Department of Justice, as well as other references. One of the main cities in the United States that we can look at is Baltimore, Maryland. This city as we look further into has…

Schools Act of 1994. In order to qualify for federal funding schools are required to expel any student who brings a firearm to school, at least one-year mandatory. (Meadows, 2014) Consequently, many schools have adopted zero tolerance policies for bringing a weapon to school. The zero tolerance policy “is a school or district policy that mandates predetermined consequences or punishments for specific offenses that are intended to be applied regardless of the seriousness of the behavior…” (Teske,…

criminal justice system. Majority of the schools have law enforcement officers inside the buildings and a strong zero-tolerance policy that treats all behavior the same no matter what the offense is. The school systems are starting to depend on suspensions/expulsions and outside law enforcement to take care of issues in the classroom which is causing physical and emotional risks to youth. Zero tolerance policies were developed in the early 1990’s due to school shootings and…

The Zero-Tolerance Policy first ever rose after the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 once the government had enough funding to support zero-tolerance in most all over the United States. Zero tolerance was meant to prevent crime and make the learning environment in schools all over the U.S. to be safer. Any student that breaks a rule should be given the harshest punishment without question to give a clear demonstration to other students that there are consequences for the decisions you make. As the…

He claims to favour the interests of the city over all but then shows his true colours by both acting and ranting like a tyrant. Antigone is steadfast and determined in her aim - she fully believes that the rule of god must take precedence in this matter regarding death, as well as revealing her belief that it is the family that is more important than the state. In contrast, it is Oedipus’ desire to serve his adopted city, and to release it from its’ suffering, that propels him toward the awful…

condition of war and thought people were nasty, brutish, and short-tempered. Their natural passion is the fear of death, which inclines men to peace. Because he assumes that men are inherently evil, he states that the people should be ruled by an absolute government, that it’s necessary to protect people from each other. With this type of government, there would actually be more chaos within the groups of the governed. If they are naturally competitive, why would they choose to act as a…

In the years leading up to the French Revolution, the public’s opinions did not matter, but as more people demanded changes to the monarchy’s modus operandi and the end of absolutism, tensions among the various classes grew. With less censorship and more safety in rebelling against the king, people were more outspoken and influenced others as a result. Members of the Third Estate began to feel confident voicing concerns about the nobles and the monarchy, and there was plenty of literature…

I found the extent to which Louis XIV was an "absolute" monarch to be fairly broad. Not only was the absolute power in politics, but he also at absolute control of the military, and even some aspects of religious freedoms and practices. I think that with all these added together, it's fair to say that he was an absolute monarch. There are multiple examples of how he had control of politics, religious freedoms and the military. The best place to start is the beginning; where Louis XIV assumed…
