John Locke’s ideas on natural rights are reflected nearly 200 later when Susan B. Anthony fights for equality between men and women. John Locke was a famous philosopher who wrote a lot about the rights of people. His beliefs are that every person, no matter who you are, has basic human rights and the government is there to protect these rights. This leads to his focus on slavery, which he is very much against as it interferes with his theory on natural human rights. He wants everyone to be equal…

Do we really aim to DESTROY the person we love, or is it just that we love them so much we destruct our life to keep them? Why is it important for us to love things that we find precarious? Most importantly, why do we look to things that murder our conscious and damage our heart? Using a short story, William Faulkner discusses that isolation and loneliness can lead to destruction. The word “desolation” can be defined as a state of complete emptiness or destruction. Typically, the warfare of…

Society is structured on a system of laws meant to protect the innocent and punish the perpetrator. Without these laws, nations would be without their moral compass, with nothing pointing to true north. Citizens would fall into the practice of performing actions only to benefit themselves, not caring about the greater good of the community. Therefore, it is one’s system of government which sets in stone the notion of right and wrong, good and bad, and the laws which force behaviors deemed…

The Leviathon was written as a political fiction establishing the notion of a political community, establishing itself coherently with the social contract argument, which is “a clear device that connects three aspects of political theory: a specific view of human nature… of problems that would arise in the absence of political authority … of government best suited to solve such problems” . Hobbes addresses all three, which we will see by answering the problematique: How does Hobbes justify…

In Dr. Martin Luther King’s letter and speech, there is both emotional and logical text. The one that is more emotional would be his speech. His letter would be more logical then. The reason why the letter is more logical or logos is because it has facts and data but also it uses testimony. He used more logical language in his letter because he was trying to get this point across to certain people, he wanted to use truthful information to back up everything he said. The reason the speech has a…

Views on social justice are highly important in defining the roles of the state within society. The perspectives presented by John Rawls and Robert Nozick demonstrate two extremely different views of societal justice. Each of these philosophers give their own principles of justice, which are sets of rules society must follow in order to be just. In this paper, I will analyze the views of each of these thinkers. I will also argue that the Rawls’ principles of justice are preferable to Nozick’s…

Dual Foundations of Law One of the more interesting aspects of law in general is how the subject both evolves and is consistently marked by debate on multiple levels. As ideologies in a society change, so too does the law follow, as witnessed by the legal actions prompted by women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, and a vast range of other social and political issues. As this occurs, however, the debate invariably ensues as to the moral correctness of any potential change. Some, like…
