We may now ask, how would two modern, influential, political theorists respond to this notion? John Rawls’ “Justice as Fairness” and Robert Nozick’s “Anarchy, State, and Utopia” present theories that we can use to determine and make assumptions as to how these two figures would respond. John Rawls’, “Justice as…

Democrats, particularly libertarians, want strong safeguards to ensure that government will be accountable.

Not just for the kids of today to become educated adults of the future or to help their future prospects, while those are admirable goals I think it 's important for we who are old and jaded as well. Education is an ongoing ever evolving process, one we should not stop. I know for me education was a multifaceted process, very little coming from the classroom. Most of it came from hands on…
