The pursuit of philosophical proof and further analysis led William Golding to the birth of Lord of the Flies, a novel meant to be looked at closely as it stresses the importance of society, the inner workings of man, and the blind eye man turns to its inherent depravity. Stuck in an uncharted island, the minds of young, malleable boys explore the forests and shores of their new adventure, the absence of grownups and societal protection experimented on through a curious, inviting eye. Leading…

Bill Shuster once said "Our Veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called." So as a citizen I need to uphold my responsibility and duty to America by being active in our democracy, be more appreciative of my rights and freedoms, and most importantly show respect to those who fought for our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. After all, I only have my rights and freedoms because of those who fulfilled their responsibility to America. As a…

Laws are placed to keep us, the people, safe. We even put people out there to regulate those laws, and to offer punishment to those who don't follow them. When people resist laws it puts the lawmakers in a bad place. People who are boycotting the laws because they don't want to support what goes against their values. You can't please everyone and keep everyone safe. Opposition to anything is almost always met with a wall of stubbornness from the other side. Take, for example, abortion. There are…

The power produces a profound impact on an individual. On the other hand, an individual having the power may produce a profound impact on the development of the community and entire society depending on the power he possesses. In such a situation, the corruption of the politicians that have access to the power is particularly dangerous to the normal and stable development and progress of society. In this respect, the example of Tammany Hall and one of its most notorious representative George…

Collectivism, noun, the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it. Emphasis on collective rather than individual action or identity. Some collectivist societies are bent on having all things equal and leave no room for individual thought. Most people in this society would gladly go along with whatever the leaders say because they know best. Some people have written books based on this idea of a equal society. One of these books is a novelette called Anthem by…

unit of people who share a common goal, interest, passion, belief, etc. that are against the common good. The flaw with factions is that they create a simple boundary where the opinion’s of the minority cannot be expressed. With a republic or any government, factions are inevitable. What two things may be done to eliminate the causes of faction, and why does Madison reject them? Madison clearly states there are only two possible ways to eliminate the causes of factions: The first possibility…

ruler does not have all of the great qualities of a leader, if he acts like he does, his followers will trust him. Although Machiavelli’s The Prince was banned for being too controversial at the time, it later turned out be very influential on many governments around the…

In my essay I will look at how the theme of disruption from a higher power appears in The Tower of Babel (GHM 4.4) but also appears in The United States Government. In The Tower of Babel (GHM 4.4) people after the flood had one language and settled in Shinar. They further decided to build a city with a tower that went up into the heavens. Yahweh (the Hebrew name of god) saw the city and tower and expressed concern for the powerful unity of the people under one language. So Yahweh scattered the…

change if we did. Both societies in the books, Fahrenheit 451 and Harrison Bergeron, have shown that their world's censorship can be the most dangerous thing they can hide. Along with that, technology can have a big effect on how much power the government really has. To start off, in a society like in Fahrenheit 451, citizens would have information kept so they wouldn't rebel. Censorship can have a large effect on the people of an area because knowledge is power, and the more you know, the…
