before there was any form of civil society and a “social contract” an agreement between the people and government. Both have different perspectives on the meaning of these ideas. Thomas Hobbes Thomas Hobbes as the classic theorist of international anarchy, in his most famous piece of work published 1651 “Leviathan” states that the most effective form of government was absolute monarchy. Due to Hobbes belief in the absence of an absolute ruler, man would live in a State of Nature “no Arts; no…

came over with [the enemy] you would not hesitate to fling a bomb at him”(Remarque 114). While in war, soldiers begin to believe in killing more than they believe in family. War is a place of anarchy. In his poem, “The Second Coming”, William Butler Yeats describes Armageddon as a time when “ [m]ere anarchy is loosed upon the world”(4). Armageddon and war are one and the same. The two works are related to each other because they are both during…

disarray. By using three different characters, Golding demonstrates how these governments cause people to act. As the island boys slowly descend into chaos, Golding transitions them through the reigns of democracy under Ralph, tyranny under Jack, and anarchy, illustrated by Roger.

In this paper, I will expand the Neorealist argument that international cooperation is unlikely due to the constraints of anarchy, and that cooperation will only occur when two states face a common threat. I will also present the Neoliberal argument that holds international cooperation as difficult, yet likely, so long as institutions are in place to lower transaction costs. From a Neorealist perspective international cooperation is highly unlikely. Neorealists assert that there is no…

In the Odyssey, Poseidon perpetrates a horrible string of deeds against Odysseus in his attempt to exact revenge for the justice delivered to his son, Polyphemus. Specifically, he endeavors to ensure Odysseus’s death or at least to make his journey home as painful as possible.

Both David and Poseidon are unwilling to uphold justice enough to deliver it to their children. In…

From my standpoint, I agree with him that people are naturally lazy; it appears to me that if it took nothing to survive, people…

the Constitution itself enforces and protects the people under it are proof of these changes. The idea of secession may bring the idea of greatness and change, but as Abraham Lincoln said “Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.” Nothing but chaos follows secession, therefore, we must be against it. If the South, as a whole, were to secede from the Union, there would be no way to distribute justice throughout the newly created system. The counteracting majority…
