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…

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.

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.

Epilogue The “Public Meetings and the Democratic Process” article gives a good idea of what public meetings are, how they are handled, and how the public can take advantage of its opportunities. The evidence uncovered to support this article only comes from a restricted sample, so public meetings across other parts of the country might stray from from what that evidence says. Some examples of this are how public comments are made, time limits for comments, agenda setting, and the formality of…

What natural rights does the Declaration mention?

Comparing myself with my fellow friends, I can consider myself to be lucky enough to be able to travel to almost every prominent country and city such as Paris, Japan, Singapore and so forth. Most of them are for accompanying my father doing his business. Importantly, I learned that regardless how countries are well developed, they differ from each other when it comes to cultural context. Therefore, based on my wide experience, I prefer to live in a collectivist country for the many benefits…
