II of Plato’s The Republic by Glaucon, is a magical artifact that enables the bearer to turn themselves invisible at will. While not founded in historical fact; the scenario is rather a thought experiment used to explore the fundamental nature of human morality when the bearer faces no retribution for their actions. Glaucon alleges that the temptation provided by the ring is irresistible by any man, and that without consequences the bearer would disregard morality in favour of his own self-gain.…

When Election Day comes around, everyone that is registered to vote does so because they feel as though they should have a say in who is in charge of the country they live in. The question is, is voting a right as a human being or a right as a citizen?

I think the Bafa Bafa activity was a great experience for me in that it helped me to think more abstractly on culture. I learned that each culture is different and has their own set of norms. For instance, the alpha culture was more loving and approachable while the beta culture felt more uncomfortable with all the “touching”.
