Many individuals think that the gay rights movement is just about the right to marry whom you wish, but it is deeper than that, it is a movement about protecting our basic human rights and liberties. According to Fine & Levin-Waldman (2016), The U.S. Supreme Court’s recognition of same-sex marriage as a civil right makes it fall under the protection of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment; if marriage is guaranteed to all individuals, then it cannot be denied to one group of people.…

moderacy is possible but even the most moderate of moderates leans a bit more one way than the other. I’ve always considered myself to be a libertarian, and I still do. For this reason I scoffed at this assignment when I’d first heard of it. I already knew what I was and didn’t care where I fell on the political spectrum despite identifying as a libertarian, the views are what matter, why do we need to categorize them? That’s what I thought and what I still think, though I do feel that I can…

I wanted to check to see if my hypothesis was true so I looked at the Illinois Libertarian website. While this website did have the essential information (contact, donate, about), the website looked very bad. This website looked worse than the Green Party’s…

self-determination and determinism.12 Rather than the arguments for the possibility of freedom and absolute necessity being self-sufficiently true and then cancelling each other out, Hegel proposes that the concept of freedom unifies both tradition libertarian and traditional compatibilist arguments in order to exist as a whole. This is not a…

Affirmative action is a product of the Civil Rights Movement, in an attempt to give equal opportunities to all the people across America, mostly minorities and women. Even though the Civil Rights Movement did end segregation and attempted to give equality to minorities and women, it was not successful in doing so. Affirmative actions was the means in which minorities and women would have a better chance in the workplace as well as education to be given an equal chance in getting the job or…

In issue #3 of Luke Cage: Hero for Hire, this viewpoint is both exemplified and challenged through Cage’s pursuit of his hero for hire business. In alignment with libertarian perspective, Cage believes it is within his freedom to offer the benefits of his powers to others for a price through market exchange.
