The law cannot change beliefs. In the case of the sub-Saharan African, there is a fundamental issue with their beliefs of witchcrafts. They believe that every evil and misfortune that is incapable of rational explanation is blamed on witchcraft (P476). A people of that kind of thinking can 't be convinced otherwise by laws or rewritten laws, in other words, the codification of the law that Bentham proposes will not help the sub-Saharan African in this particular predicament. Codification…

Intro: In agreement to both Thoreau and King, one must transgress a physical change towards an unjust law with the ideals of civil disobedience. Both leaders had the same concept of ideas about civil rights but, show their point of view differently. Fighting for equal rights in the United States was never easy. The “Declaration of Independence” written by Thomas Jefferson discusses the ideas of equal rights for both men and women. Jefferson explains every single person has the right to be…

Martin Luther King experienced during the time of racism and Jim Crow views towards people of color. While fighting to lift the curse of Jim Crow laws in the United States, as the world looked at it, King was incarcerated in Birmingham, Alabama for his Civil Rights movement, which was considered extreme for its great social and political changes that were evidently salient from the beginning of the peaceful protest. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King addresses and rebuts the contradicting…

Philosophy is a very influential field of study. It allows for some professors to ask some very poignant questions. For instance, what would happen if a group of children were removed from civilization and placed into the wilderness on a remote island with no hope of rescue?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Desmond Tutu hold different beliefs on how to achieve justice for all.

On the other hand, Desmond Tutu, in the excerpt, No Future without Forgiveness, claims that forgiveness is the way to achieve justice for all because it helps create a better future. While both methods are uniquely effective, Dr. King’s…

Welfare is a very helpful program that helps support Americans with low-income. It’s nice to help those who can’t support their family because of financial issues. Although, it would be nice to support welfare recipients who work for their welfare check instead of those who sit down all day and expect the government to deal with their financial problems. Working for welfare makes sense because why should hardworking Americans give up money on pay checks that they’ve earned and give it to those…

advent of nonviolent civil resistance within the Middle East context has gone grossly unappreciated in relation to the so called “successes” of violent insurgencies. The Middle East has endured a host of wars, terrorism, monarchies, foreign occupation, and dictatorship throughout its history. But what is less acknowledged is the power that nonviolent…

Edward Snowden, Civil Disobedience, and the “Greater Good” The revelations brought forth by Edward Snowden have redefined the public perception of privacy in the modern era. After the publication of Glenn Greenwald’s articles in June 2013, the idea of mass surveillance has evolved from a figment of dystopian literature into a tangible reality. Ever since that original exposé in the Guardian, the debate over the whether or not Snowden was justified has been divisive. Some hail Snowden as a…
