Phase I As a child and up until I was a young man, I was raised in a family with a Presbyterian background. My father was a preacher, and it is of my opinion, you could say he taught hell, fire, and brimstone. My political back ground was scarce, but when discussed was that of Republican. I grew up in a small West Texas town in the mist of the Bible-belt. We were a very poor family, and as a child my father enforced the concept of being conservative and appreciating the gifts that were…

In this quiz, I am considered a “core conservative” which for the most part I agree with. Personally, I would call myself more of a hard-right libertarian but my differences with core conservatives are few and we agree on most things. The biggest disagreement that I have with core conservatives is on diplomacy. Only 13% of core conservatives believe that “Good diplomacy is the best way to ensure peace” and I think this is incorrect. I believe that it is tyrannical and wrong for countries to use…

In this essay, I will be comparing and contrasting Jane Addams “Democracy and Social Ethics” and William Graham Sumner’s “What Social Classes Owe to Each Other.” Do social classes owe anything to each other?
