A reform should be made about the age of drinking for numerous reasons in my personal viewpoint. In the U.S, at the age of 18, one can legally vote, buy cigarettes, and join the army, to cite a few things. Going against the law, critics recommend allowing 18-year-olds to drink, and consider their age to have the rights and same power as…

I believe that peaceful resistance to laws is a positive impact on a free society. America was founded on the principles of freedom of speech and the ability to speak out against injustice.

to Paris as Parliament and King Charles I moved closer to civil war. In this time, he watched politics develop in his home country, returning in 1651. This return lead to his most famous political work, Leviathan. Hobbes’ view of human nature was shaped largely by the English Civil War. He considered this time to be as chaotic and close to a State of Nature as possible. For Hobbes, the State of Nature can be represented by the “war of every man against every man.” This leaves man in a constant…
