1. Classic Liberalism is the most dominant ideology that exists, plus it is the first modern ideology as well. It is an ideology that originated from a reaction against the medical society’s feudal structures. In essence liberalism is the “ideology of freedom or liberty” (Johnston, pg. 202) Governments are necessary in order to provide security within their governing body, which is why some people are willing to sacrifice a small portion of their freedom in order to be secure. During the period…

Mills rejects and challenges Locke’s conventional contract theory by acknowledging racism as the linchpin of the social contract, rather than an unintended consequence of imperfect man. His critique recognizes covert power roots of racism within the political system that, formally and…

I argue that the vices of men alone cannot be the reason to which critics attribute to the “pathetic state of American civic life.” These vices as decried by social and religious conservatives include abortion culture, the pornography industry, and violence in popular culture. While these contribute to consequences of a vulgarized concept of freedom, it reflects the right to engage in them despite its moral failings. Ferguson focused on these corruptions that may arise out of individual liberty,…

different types of authority in the work that he done, the first type of authority was rational legal authority, this is dependant on laws of the state.
