Wolff’s argument contains a number of premises and intermediate conclusions that sequentially lead to the overall conclusion or purpose of his argument. Wolff begins by stating some simple definitions and distinctions which lead into his first premise. He defines authority as the right to command, and correlatively, the right to be obeyed. He also defines the state as a group of persons who have and exercise supreme authority within a given territory. He explains that a de jure authority is one…

In Hass’s article, he describes the concept of basic sovereignty, which is the final authority and every right of a nation, insufficient to stabilize international order. With today’s disrupted international order, the globalizing world is filled with problems having to do with climate, network, chaos, and public health. This is because countries have had the same traditional sovereignty system, and it is time to evolve in the globalizing world. For so long, this operating system has been mainly…

The corporation has seen tremendous growth over the past several centuries, both in size and influence, especially in the political realm. As a result of this influence, the corporation has evolved from a body governed by Kings during the colonial era, and later legislative bodies in the newly created United States, to being a sovereign entity that is just as powerful – if not more so – than the legislative bodies under which it was once ruled. With the rise of corporate sovereignty, politics…

daughter holding her hand. Realistically, it is probable that Donorovich could come home to find her mother already deceased without a timely warning. The ethical issues imposed in this case involve the autonomy of O’Donnell, and her right to self-determination. While she was aware of her condition, she was not granted the permission by the law to choose how to end her own life, despite the fact that it was inevitably…

James Q Wilson once said, “Man’s moral sense is not a strong beacon light…it is, rather, a small candle flame…flickering and sputtering in the strong winds of power and passion, greed and ideology” (Amstutz 9). Morality refers to a person’s values and beliefs about what is right and wrong, just and unjust, and fair and unfair. However, the concept of morality is more nuanced that its definition, given the multiple factors that inform a person’s moral compass—such as, their religion—and the many…

By 1754, the colonies in America were not sovereign, as they did not have an independent economic system, political system, or a sufficient security system. Individual colonies each exhibited many aspects of sovereignty, but were not completely self-sufficient, and as a whole the colonies did not have a common goal in mind, meaning they were not united. Colonies such as Massachusetts were close to being sovereign while colonies such as Virginia were more tied to England. However, no single…

Grace &McLaughlin (AJN, 2005), revealed on their study that people are most vulnerable when they are sick and health care providers often have a stereotype that they have better knowledge than the patient and they may unintentionally harm the patient. So, informed consent is very important to protect patient’s right and nurses are in an ideal place to play the advocacy role in different ways such as, a defender of patient’s right, .Johnston, M.J., (2009), also reemphasized the advocacy role of…

I believe that the American Dream is still attainable today and this is because it is the mere principle of life no matter how small or large. What we must ask ourselves first is, what is the American Dream? The American Dream has been around for awhile now. However, it was first publicly defined in 1931 by James Truslow as the “dream of a land in which life should be better or richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” That may have been…

Whats up with the American Dream? The American Dream is a concept where a person finds success in whatever they are doing and have a stable good life. Nowadays people are pondering the question if there really is a perfect American dream anymore. The main point of maintaining a dream is having a hard work ethic and then we could achieve anything we want to if we set our mind to it. Most people think going to college and getting a proper education is the right way to do it. Some people do not…
