In this paper, I will analyze John Harris’ argument structure in his 1975 article “The Survival Lottery,” then raise an objection to one of his arguments, then I will state what I believe Harris’ response to my arguments would be. After an analysis of Harris’ arguments, I disagree with Harris’ assertion that all lives are equal based on arguments involving society, virtue, and social effect. I believe that Harris would counter with arguments of utilitarianism, legality, and application of the…

to successfully achieve academically. Students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds are given the short end of the stick from the start. This is something that is further exacerbated by the inequalities within the United States public school system. Public schools are unequal. This may be because of their location, being in two different states or being in two different neighborhoods. Students in less developed states or communities do not receive the same resources or access to resources…

Wollstonecraft, the English writer and passionate advocate of education and social equality for women, wrote her famous book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which argues for women’s equality in a society dominated by men. Nearly a century later, another writer appeared. Virginia Woolf made an essential argument in "A Room of One’s Own", She argues mainly about how women were rejected and mistreated in the society.

of people, people who cannot follow the rules, and the fear of competition that the people of 2081 faced involving equality versus inequality. Manipulation of people is an issue with this type of equality in the future. Having to wear a handicap system can make it…

One of the most predominant advantages to education is its promotion of equal opportunity. Bloom confirms this atmosphere when he writes, “[Great thinkers] had authority not based on power, money, or family, but on natural gifts that properly compel respect”(Bloom 6). Privilege based on wealth holds no power behind the walls of a university, but Michaels proposes that inequality lies at the gates of universities. “What’s keeping [the poor] out of elite universities is not their inability to pay…

Schmidtz and Cohen stand at two almost diametrically opposed positions of equality. Schmidtz argues for an equality of treatment, while Cohen argues for an equality of opportunity. Schmidtz’s argument for equality of treatment implies that everyone should be treated the same, even if that treatment will result in others not being well off (Schmidtz 114). Cohen, on the other hand, argues that everyone should be treated the same in regards to improving society Cohen’s argument addresses three…

in a state of dangerous innocence” to a “soldier like the rest… a [man]”. Malouf reiterates the idea of Jim’s journey from child to man when “outside, for the first time since he was a kid, [he] cried”. Through the use of contrasting settings and binary opposites, Malouf is able to elaborate on the corruption caused by the brutality and nature of…

Humanity tends to be going towards equality, even though there is a myriad number of differences between us, but we are actually heading toward it, however equality is a strong word with a vast number of meanings and most of us tends to consider it from his/her own perspective, as we know there is two types of equality (Formal and Substantive) we already have formal quality (which is advantageous) but we need more -but specific quantity of- substantive equality to fill up the holes which the…

Introduction Our Sun produces enough energy in one second to sustain life on earth for millions of years. However, there is an energy far more powerful than our Sun that makes it pale in comparison. Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic type of light in the universe and produce more energy in one second than the sun will produce in its ten-billion year lifetime. These dramatically powerful energetic explosions often originate billions of light-years from Earth yet produce a light so…

Today many people are concerned about this concept of inequality and how it relates to people economically. There have been countless numbers of initiatives to close the gap between the different socio-economic classes. Having a more progressive tax system and raising minimum wage are the two most common tools that the public look to in order to make our society more equal. However, the issue of inequality is becoming more blurred. As David Weisbach pointed out in his lecture, when it comes…
