of Britain in the late 2020s and it can be argued that it is a perfect example of Hobbes’ idea of government, considering that the British created a literal national health disaster and then provided the only cure for it as well as the fact that the UK gained a new political party known as Norsefire where fascism is normalized, excluding immigrants, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and homosexuals out of their civilization—out of sight out of mind. It is a government that is ruling their citizens by the…

Milan Kundera, a Czechoslovakian author, declares, “Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case; animals have the right to a merciful death.” Kundera argues that humans should have the right to die mercifully death, like dogs. However, not everyone agrees with Kundera and they believe that all life holds value and should not perish. Consequently, if someone assists another in the death of a sick…
a nation-state is military power. The role of the armed forces is to protect and defend the country from the threats and enemies. Armed forces’ missions and tasks are written or derived from the Constitution and can slightly differ from country to country. For example, in the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States is written "…provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. . . .", which led to defining the role of the U.S. military as fighting and winning America’s…

The reason that they are disputing this is because they believe that no guns or fewer guns on the street will equal less crime. Which I believe that isn’t the case. I say that isn’t the case because if they stop selling guns legally that leaves one other option open. This is the…
Since amendments were made to the ‘British Nationality law’ in the 1940s, people from the commonwealth islands (including India) had been immigrating to the UK for nearly 20 years – this meant that people of the Hindu and other religions had already introduced these faiths into British society and the world was already changing to be more cultural before the Beatles choice to follow them. The band only created higher popularity for these faiths amongst the population. Also their views on…

Not all of these feelings are nice, and many people are affected by the strident remarks posted online. Because of how these statements may affect a student, a particular concern is how students handle…
taxpayers: everyone in the community doing well in the community which has to pay for a mistake that someone else did. Stopping the use of death penalty could save taxpayers a lot more money which can then be used for better things such as to enforce the law or make their community better, as well as all the time wasted during the cases could be more efficiently used to go thru various cases. Another reason why the death penalty is inferior is because it does not stop criminals. In a article…
