Instead, in this article, shock tactic is used to sway an audience. In Katha Pollit’s article, “Abortion: No More Apologies”, many different examples from different time periods are given with sufficient evidence to back them up. Pollit’s article comes from an open mind, not a distraught heart. Pollitt is aware that it is a difficult topic to address, but it is ultimately…

murmurs in the crowd, turned into a loud roar of hundreds marching the streets of the city. Donald Trump, the president of the United States at the time, issued an apology to all African American people and their loved ones who were hurt. The apology was passed unanimously. Was the apology the only thing we went into war for? An apology and to educate the people of the country who are considered privileged to understand the oppressive systematic racism affecting the lives of millions daily in…

existence of God. Growing up in a corrupt, post-Soviet Union Russia, made me interested in the role that a government should play in a society. As I matured, instead of questioning myself, I started to dig into philosophical books, such as Republic and Apology by Plato, Political Liberalism by Rawls, and so on. In these books I have found the paths that lead me to answer those questions, as well as, to a lot of subjective questions, such as meaning of a good or bad. Reading Peter Singer along…

Introduction The philosopher Socrates has his own attitude towards the Apology and Allegory of the Cave Readings in which the prisoners were living in the illusion of the images they see in front of them without moving their head. On the other hand, the Good Brahmin's (Voltaire) attitude who was living with the ignorance where he was not sure about the reality but he was teaching others on the same subject. The Socrates believes that truth was the shadows of images rather than nothing. Body The…

There are many similarities between Socrates' "Apology" and "Allegory of the Cave Readings" to Voltaire's "Good Brahmin". They both teach about the thirst of knowledge and the negative aspects of gaining that knowledge. Overall, these works are excellent sources to look at, when someone asks why knowledge is so important. First of all, when comparing Socrates' "Apology" and "Allegory of the Cave Readings" to Voltaire's "Good Brahmin", you will see that there is a pattern about the…

I think it was very courageous of Susan Hamovitch to make a documentary of her family’s most painful, protective secret at that time. In the early 90’s, when people were judged, criticized, made fun of, and in some cases even punished for what Susan tried to reveal to the world, was very daring. It must have been not easy for Susan, nor for her family, to reveal their family’s secret to the world as the mother said to Susan when she told her her intention of making a documentary of their family…

we really have a correct answer to all of these topics? One can assume that they are knowledgeable but does one know about things that they do not know about? The reoccurring theme of knowledge is displayed in Plato`s literary works such as, Meno, Apology and The Cave. In these literary works it exemplifies that although one may think that one has perfect knowledge one has much more knowledge to obtain. In Plato`s Meno, Meno expresses that when someone does something bad it is because that…

reasons to why we do the things that we do in life. Having motivation gives people the desire to do certain needs and goals. Without motivation, you will not be successful without out. Two people, Hector from the movie Troy and Socrates from Plato’s Apology, are motivated by the love of their country. Hector is motivated by the love of his country during war while Socrates is motivated by the love of his country politically and philosophically. First, Hector is motivated by his country in a…

A better question is asking, whose interests are being brought out in this story? 1 Samuel 25 is a part of a literature set, collectively known as the Apology of David, as the name of this collection states, these stories are told with David’s interests in mind. That said, it is made clearer that the actions of Abigail and Nabal’s men are used to show that lots of people think David is in fact, the appointed…

them to have equal rights and opportunities as men. In her works, Aphra Behn speaks about women's rights demanding for them to speak their minds. They must use their wit in order to have what they want. Aemilia Lanyer (1569-1645) in her poem Eve's Apology in Defence of Women published in 1611 uses her rhetoric in order to prove the innocence of the person blamed for the Original Sin. In this poem Lanyer uses theological arguments to defend the first sinner, denouncing the misogynistic views of…
