Communitarianism

efforts to a cause that they support and believe will change the environment around them. With my qualities of being a committed citizen, I believe that I can bring a viable change to CMU. Being a debater, I 've come to learn a lot about how communitarianism plays a huge role in how a society or community operates. In the recent election, I decided to help my community by joining the campaign form Amendment V, which would allow for non-partisan primaries in the state of South Dakota. This would…

Why did The Rule of St. Benedict become universally used by communities of monks and nuns across Europe? I think there were several reasons why “The Rule” became universal. I think that it made life as a monk or nun uniform and universal (in a communitarianism sense). All people (monks and nuns) were financially equal. This occurred during a time that was, historically, a very depressed and poor time. With the fall of the Roman civilization and with the Romans being overrun by barbarians, the…

Having critical analysed Alasdair MacIntyre’s thought provoking and in depth article entitled “Is Patriotism a Virtue?” it can be noted there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration in order to view patriotism as a virtue or the mutually opposed belief that patriotism is a vice. This comparative review of patriotism is based on moral foundations which influences one perspectives about the nature of patriotism. In this essay I hope to give a clear account of MacIntyre’s views in…

Liberalism is a political philosophy or way of thinking based on the ideas of liberty and equality for all in society. With this theory or political policy in place, it is ideal for the people of the society to have the majority of the power in regards to decision making in the community. Meaning that the people have the power to vote for the people in government, freedom of press, freedom to practice any religion, and keep any civil or natural right reserved no matter what transpires in the…

Compare & Contrast Hofstede’s main aim was to evaluate work values, while that of Trompenaars was to inquire about employees behaviour in both work and leisure time. Trompennars model is focus oriented as it tells us about what is on people’s mind and in their sight. It describes an logical organization and framework of their behaviour which can be seen in the dimensions like specific-diffuse, internal-external direction, universalism-particularism, and we can see relationships in…

They believe that government is necessary for the good of the society and every citizen must vote so that they can have the right to choose who should govern them, and they have to listen to them. This makes them communitarianism which means they emphasis on individual’s responsibility towards the community and the social importance of family. Therefore, they tend to be socially liberal. However, my ideology being next generation left, also falls slightly under authoritarianism…

Within Lasch’s three chapters, “Does Democracy Deserve to Survive?,” “Communitarianism or Populism?,” and “Conversation and the Civic Art,” he highlights the decay of civic virtue, while calling attention to the fact that American democracy was at its best when there was “small-scale production through cooperative buying and selling” (81). Small-scale production required qualities of responsibility and self-reliance, claiming that something more than morality that can generate virtue. Lasch…

This essay is a critical response to Jeremy Waldron’s essay Minority Cultures and the Cosmopolitan Alternative and Will Kymlicka’s Cultural Membership and Choice on the topic of state intervention , in the form of support, should be given to minority cultures. I argue under a liberal and capitalist context that particular communities (that of which cultures,religious, ethnic and minorities sections fall under) are beneficial to subsidised by governments on historical grounds. This is considering…

John Stuart Mill is one of the believers of this philosophy. He believed that that individual freedoms are important, but ultimately the outcome that benefits the most people is the best one. In addition, another philosophical belief called communitarianism that recognizes that there is a connection between both the individual and the community at the same time. It’s the idea that one’s individual beliefs and way of thinking is actually shaped by how their…

Let us begin by considering how our heroes position themselves as pedagogues. Prescott and Silk spend their days passing culturally important information to the young minds in their care. While it is an exaggeration to say that they indoctrinate their students into adopting their own class values, it is certainly true that they both represent and pass on the culturally accepted knowledge and value judgements that pervades New England culture during their respective tenures. In his “The Upper…
