Political correctness

The moral argument for liberal theorists is that people have a duty to natural law, and natural law is the moral law. As human beings, nature gives us the rights of freedom and equality, and it is through moral behavior that these rights are protected. The moral and amoral behavior found through reason is the foundation of law. Through government these rights are protected, but if these natural rights are to be violated, people can choose to leave or alter the government. “Right of the people to…

Alexis de Tocqueville said, “Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude”. Democracy has many different and diverse principles and values that keep its system running. Some examples of the principles are citizen’s rights and federalism. When even one of these principles and/or values are lost, chaos will ring out and all the purposes of the…

In the real world, for example, modern-day North Korea, corrupt governments often deliver false information and hide government plans from their citizens. The lack of government transparency violates basic human rights because people have the right to know what is happening in the world around them. In both Animal Farm by George Orwell and the real world, the lack of government transparency could be solved by using technology and government ambassadors to encourage communication between the…

Modern theorists traced the beginning of traditional public administration from the publication of Woodrow Wilson’s “The Study of Administration” in 1887, although his essay did not achieve “classic” status until the mid of the twentieth century. This profound essay set the foundations of the American state to move toward a managerially base ideology of separating politics from administration. Wilson’s politics-administration dichotomy provides a historical foundation to understand a predominant…

study whether the UK HDO model can be replicated in India with or without modification. 9. Null Hypothesis (H0). Replication of UK model of HDO in Indian context is not feasible considering the wide differences in both countries from the geo political, cultural, traditional and historical perspective. 10. Alternate Hypothesis (H1). The HDO model of UK can be implemented/ incorporated into the Indian system with certain modifications inspite of the variance in their geopolitical, cultural,…

Enhanced discussion on this broad legal matter would be much appropriate if we were to define the term legal pluralism and rules of law in their respective connotations. Legal pluralism refers to a situation where at least two legal orders assert jurisdiction over the same geographical space and persons within that space; and a legal order is defined as a set of rules and practices that are oriented towards ordering relations between persons with its own source of authority. On the other hand,…

INTRODUCTION After the period of political disintegration culminating in the English Civil war, Thomas Hobbes espoused the theory of social contract which instigated disparate reactions and profoundly impacted the political philosophy of his time. In Leviathan, believing that a system devoid of government is systematically prone to dissolution into a devastating condition of war, he unified the concepts of civil polity under governance of an undivided and absolute sovereign and the laws of…

Morality is a necessary principle in all highly functioning societies. Without it, our societies, institutions, businesses, and lives can devolve into chaos and corruption. Morality is closely tied to the values of fairness, justice, and equality. The big bank bailout of 2008 significantly challenged our sense of morality by showing how inequality and injustice are alive and well in the banking world. More importantly, it showed us that social class often determines how individuals fare when…

Work Life Balance "There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life." - Alain de Botton In the light of the above statement, I would say that it cannot define an ambitious person's life any better but for his own sanity he will have to maintain a balance between his personal and professional life. Some time ago the limits of work and home were clearly defines. Today, work is prone to interfere in our lives — and keeping up work-life offset is not…

Political culture is a set of beliefs, values, and attitudes that define and provide a structure and foundation for a political system. Even though, all Americans don’t share the same views, the sweeping majority support the ideas of liberty, equality, democracy, individualism, unity, and all-around diversity. Liberty for Americans is the freedom for people to do what they want; however, they want, if it doesn’t impose on the freedom of others. Although, equality in America hasn’t always been…
