In the essay “Why Abortion is Immoral,” philosopher Don Marquis uses utilitarian principles to argue that “abortion is, except in rare cases, seriously immoral…[and] in the same category as killing an innocent human being” (223). However, he deliberately avoids relating his thesis to abortion in the specific contexts of rape, maternal death, and severe postpartum health complications. Thus, in my analysis of his claim, I plan on adopting Marquis’ utilitarian perspective to evaluate the…

Some scholars and advocates point to two primary factors as causing an overstatement in the actual bias that incumbents enjoy. Strategic retirement and incumbent quality, these critics say, account for most, if not all, of the high reelection rates seen in recent years (Stone 187). Strategic retirement, or the practice of incumbents retiring instead of facing an unfavorable election cycle, is an accepted and measurable phenomenon. There is widespread disagreement on how this effect exaggerates…

A weapon that has been with war for almost the entirety of the previous century and all of this one thus far, the tank, has changed warfare in many ways. The advent of mobile armored weaponry all started with the tank, albeit in its most rudimentary of forms. At first, this new weapon did not seem like a game changer, but that did not last forever. The tank evolved into a more mobile and armored piece of machinery, tactics changed to account for these beasts of metal and fossil fuel, and the…

In the year 1837, a radical movement in the British colony of Lower Canada took part in an armed rebellion to attain by force what they had failed in attempt to secure by lawful political action. The primary goal to which the rebellion was focused had been given several names by historians such as democracy, political freedom and representative government. The uprising took arms in attempted efforts to discontinue the appointed minority 's control of the colony 's governing institutions and to…

Lindbergh did this by using his status as an american aviation hero to enchant his followers. During the republican convention, Lindbergh managed to break the deadlock in the contested convention by flying his plane into Philadelphia at 3:17 in the morning and waltzing onto the convention in his flying attire. This awe-inspiring demonstration provokes an impassioned enough response to win him the republican nomination…

lose lots of money if this plan isn’t working at the end of the day. Thus, the only risk is about timing. It takes time, money and energy to find not the right client, but the most suitable one. Also, Delta may lose other great opportunities if they deadlock with UBC for months. I understand there will be a contract between two parties and it is crucial to follow the rules. However, the best way to minimize both parties’ risks is to know where goes wrong and raise the problems once you found it.…

Where does our nation draw the line, and take more steps to prevent mass shooting and reduce deaths caused by firearm, but without completely infringing on a Constitutional Right? For such debate, one thing is almost certain in order to pass this deadlock and that is the need…

As the reader follows Esther’s descent and ascension from her mental illness, it is wholly unclear as to what will become of her at the end; however, it is heavily implied that Esther is released from the mental hospital because of the…
