at a 2001 conference on the history of Liberal foreign policy at the Menzies Centre in London (Fraser 2005, p. 332). The title of the article and the context that it was given in suggests that it will provide a reflection on how the Liberal party has approached foreign policy. However, this is misleading in two ways. Firstly, it is questionable whether Fraser reflects the foreign policy ideals of the Liberal party. Secondly, the title suggests that the Liberal party was distinct in their foreign…

authors John Henry Newman and David Foster Wallace both have their own opinion on why people should obtain an education. In Newman’s piece, he argues that the reason for obtaining a liberal education is “knowledge is capable of being its own end” (Newman #). On the Contrary Wallace believe that the real value of a liberal education has to do with “simple awareness” (Wallace #). Newman and Wallace both have seemingly different opinions on the value of education, but their pieces share many…

share similar political views. Some popular political ideologies are republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, socialist, and libertarian. These different political ideologies vary from very pro-government to very anti-government. Today most political ideologies are understood by their stereotypes. For example, the common stereotype for conservatives is a white male, and the common stereotype for liberals would be a female minority. These stereotypes are not at all correct but they do help…

When and how did America start to become more liberal? The shift to the left has been on its move for awhile now and has shown increase after increase of Americans becoming liberal; even republicans. The shift has been due to many events and generations that have and are occurring in society. It has also been due to the reactions of decisions and actions taken place by the government.

Former president, Herbert Hoover is commonly seen as a conservative and Franklin D. Roosevelt is referred to as a liberal. However, the terms liberal and conservative are abstract terms and people do not completely conform to them. So, there are parts of Hoover that are liberal, while a majority of his beliefs are conservative, and pieces of Roosevelt are conservative when he is mostly liberal. Their respective political ideologies were shown through their responses to Americans who struggled…

1993 was Rawls attempt to work out an approach to international law. The position Rawls holds in his publication regarding distributive justice is not changed.

and watch the president’s mannerisms when he speaks. The news media has been a major source of information for the public ever since the printing press, where it has since grown exponentially. This essay claims that the news media has a liberal bias because the liberal view is predominant in America. Television is known to be the media’s most powerful medium for displaying content.

determined that I align most with Liberal party. One form of action the liberal party is taking that I too believe in strongly is lowering the cost of post-secondary education. Post-secondary education costs are the reason for too many financial problems and the Liberal government will lower the tuition for low and middle income families. As well, they will make the student loan system more flexible so that it is easier to pay off. Another strong belief I have that the Liberal party does as well…
