goes on to say that the citizens in a liberal democracy create their own lie and chose to live within it. While John Stuart Mill states that in a liberal democracy gives you the most access to live within the truth. Between the two arguments Havel’s appears the most true, because while a liberal democracy might give the most opportunities to live with the truth, it does not compel you to live within the truth as a post-totalitarian society does. In a liberal democracy there is a presence of…

played a key role in the replacing of the Liberal party with Labour it could be said that structure worked more as a catalyst while agency played a direct part in the replacement of the Liberal party; it could be argued “structure and agency [cannot] be divorced” (McHugh, 2001, p.6). While values giving way to class and an electorate tripling in size does create some convincing arguments that structure is the best explanation for Labour replacing the Liberal party as the main opposition to the…

actions. Also, British Parliament more efficiently voices concerns of the populous. Contrarily, The American system only voices two political parties, but Parliament ranges different beliefs and parties from the Alliance Party all the way to the Liberal Democrats. Nevertheless, the American system possesses a greater safeguard on checks and balances. Specifically, Article 1, Section 6, prohibits a member of Congress from occupying another federal government office. This safeguard puts restraint…

Fukuyama and Huntington both have different views on the global structure of the world. Specifically, after the cold war has ended and how to view the world afterwards. Fukuyama views the end of the cold was as the end of history with Liberal Democracy as the last form of government whereas Huntington views the end of the Cold war as the beginning of the war of culture especially with regards to a war of culture over religion and common identity. Therefore, Fukyuma’s work seems to conclude in…

not limited to the authoritarianism, hierarchical order, conformity, and status quo; yet Confucianism also practiced some core parts of liberal philosophies. Confucianism suggested the equality, moral autonomy as well as bringing out the importance of social and political reform. In my stands, if I have to classify whether Confucianism is conservative or liberal, it is neither of them. Instead, the interference of the Confucian concept of our society is more…

My main question is, that despite such a strong history in republican and relatively liberal ideologies inspired by their European counterparts, why has Latin America failed to successfully implement these institutions in a meaningful way, and why it is plagued by illiberal politics and policies. Additionally, how does the Church and its followers impact politics in South America, specifically in the liberal sense. My personal interest is understanding why the states of Latin America did not…

truth, not its efficiency, which is significant. Based on this, Henry regrettably says, "If Fundamentalism ceases to 'work' we have imported into it elements which violate the innermost essence of Christianity" (57). The inability of contemporary liberal Christianity to answer the important social ills has exposed its untruth. The threat Henry perceives for Fundamentalism is not its untruth—he strongly believes it to be the upholder of truth—but its actions when it finds the truth: "The problem…

"So, you think America is a democracy---with representatives of the people, elected by the people in free elections doing the will of the people in governing the country?" This is an excerpt from "Sold to the Highest Bidder" by Daniel M. Friedenberg. It goes on about how the government is of course corrupted due to (insert list of reasons) and has caused the great America to fall far from being the beautiful democratic republic we all love to believe it is. However, was America ever…

I think that the United States already has been trying to spread the principles of democracy for a while now. It is a major foreign policy goal that we exercise regularly, and for the most part I’m okay with the U.S. spreading it. When I think of democracy I think of it more than just the typical political sense of being able to vote for our leaders. It is our social ideals, economic structure, and so much more. And I think promoting it and spreading democracy involves promoting different…
