Berkeley

Both authors’ represent a bias in their insight on the rebellion, Wertenbaker in favor of Bacon and Washburn in favor of Berkeley, and this is largely due to the sources from which they drew their conclusions as well as their personal convictions and intentions in recording the history of the rebellion. Their writings reflect two completely different understandings of an event…

In their commitment to assuming the role of parents, many educational institutions have thwarted the free speech of their students with their newfound responsibilities. In bringing to light the ways in which UC Berkeley specifically saw this manifest on their campus through various campus-wide regulations in the 60s, both the reading and film demonstrate the need to advocate for free speech when it is jeopardized because it is a fundamental aspect in ensuring a fair American education system.…

social status, Berkeley also granted Bacon a seat on the council of the House of Burgesses. In 1676, Following two tense and violent years along the frontier (which included much loss and hardship for many frontiersmen [including Bacon] at the hands of the Indians), Nathaniel Bacon approached Governor Berkeley and pleaded him for the authority to lead troops against the Indians. Knowing this would significantly harm his “illegal” but lucrative fur trade with the Indians, Berkeley firmly denied…

Not restricting speech in any way allows the negative opinions to be heard which allows compromisation to not be biased towards the opinions that support whichever idea is at hand. For example, in the Berkeley riot people were able to protest to express their disagreement towards Yiannopoulos giving a speech which what they viewed as a “dangerous hate speech at the university's new Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union Center.” The second perspective states…

Descartes is concerned with the uncertainty of knowledge. When we see, feel, hear, and touch the things around us, we think that they are real. Nevertheless, however real something may seem, Descartes suggests that there is no way we can actually know whether or not it exists (without the help of God). Moreover, there needs to be some kind of proof that our ideas and sense-created images of the world actually depict what exists in reality, if we want to have any certainty of it. Descartes…

One may not truly understand Berkeley until they delve deep into its history. Berkeley has faced extreme segregation as Martin Luther King Jr. Way Street, previously known as Grove Street until 1984, divided the city. Most of the minority groups lived on the worse off end and the majority, which consisted of primarily white residents, continued to enjoy the better services and schools of the city (Chavez & Frankenberg 2009). The zoning forced minority groups and Blacks to live alongside the…

was a colonists who owned a plantation in Jamestown. Bacon got upset that Governor William Berkeley wasn't doing anything about the attack from the indians. So he took it into his own hands a gathered up 500 men to fight the indians. Which lead to Berkeley calling him a rebel or a traitor. Berkeley did this until Bacon peacefully to his seat in the House of Burgesses. But Bacon still held a grudge on Berkeley for all his wrong doings. Which include not doing anything about the attacks from the…

that the issue arises. Clearly, the two philosophers have a different definition of the word God. As hopefully made clear in the second and third paragraph, Spinoza thinks that God is an impersonal summation of all things (i.e. substance), while Berkeley thinks that God is a personal, thinking thing responsible for but distinct from ideas. If atheism is defined by a lack of belief in Berkeley's God, then Spinoza is an atheist. Yet Spinoza does not operate on this definition, so he would think…

An article, written by Paige St. John and James Queally, discusses the violence that arose during a protest against racism at UC Berkeley this previous Sunday. The group that caused the majority of the violence was dressed, head-to-toe, in black and is known as Antifa. This group believes that they are the protection for the public against people whose beliefs fall to the right side of the political spectrum. Antifa attacked a small group of Trump supporters and resorted to calling them…
