Libertarian

Caitlin Pechacek TX Gov’t. 2306 Prof. Dayley My Stand in Life Political socialization is defined as a lifelong process in which people structure their opinions about politics and come into their political values. My political socialization process started as a young child growing up in two southern Baptist homes and is still in the process. I come from a small town in Texas where if you were not a conservative, you were basically shunned. Since moving down south to College Station for school, I…

In Feminist Thought, author Rosemarie Tong writes about women’s different reactions to pornography. Radical-libertarian feminists celebrate pornography and want women to use it to their advantage. Radical-cultural feminists see mainstream pornography as harmful to women and think that it degrades their sexuality. In this essay, I will argue for the radical-cultural feminist viewpoint that pornography has negative consequences for women, and I will also take their argument further, contending…

problem, as it is fulfilling a duty to uphold the law. Utilitarians believe that there are better, more humane ways of punishing someone than painfully electrocuting them to death, which may take several tries before the person actually dies. Libertarians consider human life sacred, and are predominately…

I have one question based on the response to the objection from finite perception of the infinite. On what view of human nature (i.e., humanist?) is the response based? In chapter 8, Kronen and Reitan continue to argue against the argument from freedom (AF) by focusing on its first premise (AF1), which holds that ‘God cannot guarantee the salvation of all without overriding the unregenerate’s freedom; a claim Kronen and Reitan of course reject. Moreover, Kronen and Reitan provide a more precise…

Compatibilism as a Solution for the Free Will Problem Are human actions completely free? Freedom can acquire several definitions; according to Bavetta’s study on freedom of choice, for example, liberty can refer to the agent’s freedom of choice, effective freedom, or autonomy (47). The belief of freedom of choice acquires two main perspectives: an incompatible and a compatible view between free will and determinism. The incompatible position states that free will and determinism cannot coexist…

prominent view in the realm of moral responsibility is the libertarian stance. Libertarians believe that moral responsibility is incompatible with determinism because they see humans as necessarily free and morally responsible agents. In his essay “Free Will, Praise, and Blame,” J. J. C. Smart refutes the libertarian theory and puts forth his own framework for understanding the question of moral responsibility. Smart claims the libertarian perspective is unfounded because it is built on a…

both delima’s. The four ideologies are Conservative, Communitarian, Libertarian, and Liberal. Conservatives are people who are averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes; the counterpart of these type of people are Liberals. Now, Liberals are open to new behavior or opinions and are willing to discard traditional values in order to broaden and expand their general knowledge. Communitarian and Libertarian are the two ideologies that have a foot in…

view was of interest to me because we are from different backgrounds and have been raised in a different environment. In general, I believe that people can do what they wish with their lives as long as they are not harming others. I most relate to libertarians which are very centered on free will. In contrast, from Nicole’s responses on the applied topics, she has a similar view to the kantian deontology framework. As we delved further into the…

In addition, some class discussion has helped me in evaluating arguments in the class. Because you are a libertarian, you have brought up important issues. I was able to evaluate the soundness of your argument and to look up facts. However, I was not expecting to change your mind. I was mostly interested into drawing conclusions to my own beliefs and/or opinion…

I received a personal issues score of ninety percent, an economic issues score of ninety percent, and that I am a libertarian. The survey’s findings seem accurate and I agree with all of them. With in their summary of a libertarian they mentioned that they advocate for smaller government, individual responsibility, defend civil liberties, and support diverse communities. All of of which I feel strongly about. Another national…
