Jay Heinrichs is a New York Times Bestselling Author, a husband, and a father. His book Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us about the Art of Persuasion is all about how to argue, not just fight. As he explains in his book, these two are not the same. He goes into depth about winning the overall argument, instead of the little victories along the way. In this essay I will summarize, discuss, and refute the value of this book by analyzing chapters and…

During the lives of two very intelligent and popular leaders, they shared their perspective on how we can look at our own beliefs and prepare ourselves to be more tolerant. President John F. Kennedy said that “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.” He is basically saying that there is no need for us to enforce our core beliefs onto others, but rather accept people for who they are and not try and change them. The…

it doesn't constitute infringement of the agreement. He expressed "The sovereign must control common, military, legal and ecclesiatial powers"(Leviathan). He had confidence in stifling apprehension of death and to limit out enthusiasm. For Hobbes political specialist is phony; individuals need government, which is an expert made by men. He guarantees that the main specialist that normally exists among individuals is that of a mother over her tyke, on the grounds that the kid is so particularly…

On account of the state of nature Locke argues a more humane argument I agree with that all man are equal and not one has more power than another versus Hobbes who argues that it should be a “war of all against all”. A war of “all” seems more like a world of chaos, as to Locke’s argument makes the world seem like a not to shameless of a place to reside in. Though there is no perfect world to live in, his state of nature is a close representation of how to obtain a perfect equality and freedom…

POT3302 POT 3303 Political Ideologies John Locke’s vision of individual rights, rights of rebellion The scholar John Locke opines that a government bears the mandate to serves its people by protecting their life, liberty and their property. In his view, governments should not endorse the tyrannical rule of law; instead, the dispersion of authority should include excising the rule of law that serves all people (Aaron, 2011).

One of the core ideologies in International Relations has been Realism. Realism focuses on self interest, which is defined by the state seeking power and gaining complete sovereignty. According to Hans J. Morgenthau’s “Politics Among Nations, The Struggle for Power and Peace,” there are six important actors that cultivate this concept. These actors are the state, anarchy, self interest, human nature, rationale and force, which are what make a functioning society. Despite the origins and use of…

These political ideologies have been around since the 17TH century and have simply been manipulated to fit a particular time and place. They’ve been adapted to fit different political institutions and have been used to determine the essence of man and how he functions on a global scale. Both Hobbes and Rousseau used the state of nature to describe…

Delusions and Misconceptions Even as perfect a utopia world may be, it is misconceived to be a dystopia. A utopia is “a place of ideal perfection especially government and social conditions” (“Utopia”). The other, dystopia, is “an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives” (“Dystopia”). At the end, there can only be a dystopian world. Considering the fact that nothing can be perfect and there will always be people to defy the rules and laws. In 1984, it may seem…

In the book of Republic, Socrates talk about two different cities name city of pigs and city of luxury. Socrates believed that the city of pigs was “the true city and the healthy city. But, as the story went on we found that it was another city called the city of luxury which people from the city of pigs believe was exactly the same as the city of pigs. I think that the city of pigs is the best city because it’s a healthy a society in which everyone shares the work according to ability and the…

However, this of course leads to many different theories with nuances regarding the very basic capacities and capabilities of humans and how government ought to be organized in order to best utilize these capacities and capabilities.
