Our government would be very different if we didn’t have Political Parties. Life would be a lot harder without them. Political Parties cause a few problems in the early days of the United States. Political Parties were created by strong men who knew what they wanted from their government. These men worked hard to develop Political Parties. They each felt strongly about their beliefs and wanted the rest of their country to feel that way too. Political Parties developed in the united states for…

It is our environment that affects the choices that we make as human beings. The argument is, are we as humans, born with the intent of doing evil and we learn manners as we get older, or, are we as humans naturally trying to do good and what is right, but it can vary depending on your environment. William Golding, author of “Lord Of The Flies”, believes that we humans naturally do evil.

There are many similarities and difference between the two, but in the end their…

society. In John Locke’s second Treaties of civil government, he clearly outlined his worldview; one in which democracy should trump autocracy, a world where the individuals of any given country or society, have an opportunity to determine the direction and operation of such societies.

In present day people surround themselves in technology compared to 1984 where people have no choice but to have a telescreen in their houses and in their workplaces. Now…

In George Orwell’s novel 1984, the party uses propaganda, and manipulation of individual’s emotions in order to control the people; ultimately, proving how the oppressive government strips society of their freedom to think and act with their own minds. In the novel, Big Brother posters serve as a means of propaganda in order to infix the idea that “every sound” is “overheard” and “every movement scrutinized,” which demonstrates the government's attempt to eliminate any means of secrecy, thus…

The Giver, the main character Jonas lives in a world controlled by The Committee of Elders. Though the government aims to promote sameness in their community and rid the people of harmful feelings the committee is abusing their power and taking away the society’s free will.

John Locke all have different theories on how a government should be created. They each have their own beliefs on the ideal social contract, and these different social contracts all lead to different forms of government. Out of the three contracts that are presented, John Locke provides the only contract that is capable of leading to a legitimate state. The contracts of Rousseau and Hobbes are unrealistic and they would not lead to a legitimate government. Before we delve into the reasons why…

Civic and political participation is very important I believe it’s a privilege to be able to participate in our government. We can vote for our president, vote for laws to be passed, we are able to be heard in this country. As citizens we are also able to give ideas to help the community, we can protest for good causes. I believe Billy graham should have day to be celebrated for influencing change. Billy graham influenced many lives, one of the most important lives he influenced were…

While this is beneficial to the constancy of the…
