On page 175, West points out what appears to be an important syntactic distinction Mill failed to make explicit: the difference of what is worthy of being desired, and what has the capability of being desired. Eating trash, for example, might have the capability of being desired (if you plug your nose and close your eyes, perhaps) yet that does not necessarily mean it ought to be worthy of being desirable. So when Mill claims, “the sole evidence it is possible to produce that anything is…
TAmerican people use to live with myths regards its society’s structure and its mobility. Indeed, they think there is no social class and everyone has the amount of chance to succeed without considering any social origins.

Recognizing there are inequalities in America, it would mean there is an unequal distribution of wealth, and consequently, the proof of…

Therefore, Kymlicka pigeonholes the cultural minorities into two groups; national and ethnic groups. Although both of the groups are in need of special group rights, the distinction of the needs are based on what category they fall in. For example, both…
Anselm here clarifies a distinction. It is one thing for an item to exist in my understanding, and another for me to understand it to exist. This is a recognizable distinction, regardless of the fact that the terms are not well known. Phantoms, trolls, flying saucers and so forth are all things I can consider. We may say that I have ideas of these things; Anselm says that they exist in the understanding. Anselm's point is that as a rule there is a distinction between saying that something exists…
identify with an ethnic community due to cultural, family, religious ties. The distinction between these two types of nationalism dictates methods of ideology. Ethnic nationalism defines a nation through a shared heritage and ethnicity, whereas civic nationalism has to do more with the political ties one has and is primarily based on state citizenship. I will, therefore, advance the argument that there is a real distinction between civic and ethnic nationalism, and that civic nationalism is more…
The purpose of the individual during this time period has also been widely discussed and debated.

imagination is blurry to most of the characters within the story, but subtle use of clothing imagery make it possible for the reader to see the line. One of the factors that makes this distinction so unclear is that Macbeth 's imagination becomes reality. In order to come to this conclusion it is important that the distinction be made clear between when what Macbeth believes to be true and what actual is the reality at that time. Shakespeare 's use of clothing helps the reader distinguish…
Caribbean tourism is a highly contested topic with two extreme polar views on the same subject. This is a fact plain to see in plenty of articles, and this case with two texts that provide different stances on the topic of tourist development in the Caribbean is no exception. First, there is an advertisement of a 1950s The Great White Fleet’s cruise vacations to the Caribbean directed towards a class of rich, (and at the time, most likely Caucasian) travellers. On the other hand, text two is the…
most normal are Baptist and Pentecostal. Since these are the most predominant in the range, you would think they would be fundamentally the same.
