One of his most notable works on this subject tells the history of the Peloponnesian War. Halfway through this war, Athens decided that they wanted to take over the last island that was not theirs. The conflict that arose between the Athenians and the people of the island Melos gave life to the quote “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” I agree with…
The decision to drop an atomic bomb on the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, respectively, was, simply put, a foolish, rash, and depraved action that could be classified as a diplomatic blunder, among other things; certainly it could not be seen as either a military necessity or a scientific experiment: for scientists already knew enough about their project to determine the consequences, at least in the short term, such that if the dropping was an experiment, it was the most morally depraved one…

Though this sounds unreasonable, the undesirable occurs to people in any situation; some being dealt with positively while others in an hyperbolic way. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Edgar Allan Poe creates a metaphor of…

It’s very clear which park is better, but since you’re still weary i’m taking it upon myself to take an in depth look at both of them to tell you why Knotts Berry Farm is a total rip off compared to Six Flags. Let’s begin by comparing…
The Unexamined Life In The Last Days of Socrates by Plato, Crito, an old student of Socrates, comes to visit Socrates in hopes of helping Socrates escape from his impending execution. Crito argues that not escaping from prison and avoiding his execution would be unjust. Socrates’ refusal to escape death relates to the maxim in the “Apology” through Crito’s arguments that if Socrates didn’t escape then he would be aiding in his own demise, allowing his children to be raised without him, and…
