In the Ancient Greek period, political philosophy already emerged in the minds of different philosophers. It is the study of topics such as politics, justice, property, state, rights and legal code authority. That could possibly be the reason why this issue continued to emerge until the 20th century. In the Ancient Greek period, Plato argued that political philosophy has a deep connection with moral philosophy. According to him, different classes of the state are most likely to be different…

integrate people in society and political issues. They also function in mobilizing people, especially voters. In addition, these two groups share similarities, with both being voluntarily organized groups of people, that are involved in the process of politics. They each have a significant role in democratic societies. They work towards specific goals in the government and both encourage politicians and raise money to accomplish those goals. They are involved in interest expression, political…

When you were young, you had no idea about what kind of person you would become. You had no idea what turns your life would take, or where you would end up in the end. As you begin to age, you slowly create a blueprint of your life and your personality, and the longer you live, the more detailed this blueprint becomes. In Persepolis, the main character, Marji, is just starting to create this blueprint, and her blueprint starts out very vague. However, as she grows, she begins to develop the…

The Paxton Boys, and Bacon’s and Shay’s men shared similar concerns when they launched their short-lived violent rebellions. These rebellious streaks in early and pre-American history were indicative of ongoing conflicts within both class and government that define the country’s labor history. Bacon’s Rebellion came first, in 1676. Though historians dispute the personal motives of Nathaniel Bacon himself, his followers took up arms in Jamestown and against the Governor William Berkeley out of a…

They called the senate the millionaires club. Special interest group would offer outright bribes to politicians. People would go into politics as a business. Business and politics worked closely together. Congress would pass any law to benefit their donors so long as there was a profit in it for them. Most government employees were a product of the spoiler system in which family and friends of the politician…

During the late 19th and early 20th century, a wave of progressivism swept over the ever-growing nation of America. In the absence of a morally just federal government, many state legislators began to act as political reformers. One imperative figure of this statehouse progressive movement was Wisconsin Governor, Senator and House Representative Robert M. La Follette. Nicknamed “ Fighting Bob” because of his frequent head-butting with opposing party leaders, La Follette was also named one of…

It is human nature to view the world wanting to categorize it and its contents into groups in order to efficiently predict the characteristics of that person or object. This tactic of categorizing is referred to as labelling or stereotyping. In politics, labels like “left-wing”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “conservative” and many others are used to organize people or groups into convenient ideological boxes that are easy to understand. However, this method of labelling is often simplistic and…

To get the ball rolling, great authors use their own personal concerns and sympathy for people who are hurt or struggling in tough situations in society to make impacts on readers. In very debateable situations that occur in America, authors usually give their viewpoints on the situation at hand. Especially in today's world, an author has to be on one side or another. If he or she is neutral, or does not favor any side,the reader will consider the author defending the enemy or the bad side of…

Bowling alone by Robert Putnam is primarily summarized as our disengagement from the involvement in our communities. Putnam describes to the reader a decline in the civic engagement initially through our politics, particularly in the decline in “turnout [of] national elections over the last three decades,” “attendance [of] a public meeting on town or school affairs,” and “attending a political rally or speech, serving on a committee of some local organization, and working for a political party.”…

My passion for politics started when I was 12 years old, after I started noticing things on television concerning Scottish Independence. I saw the independence referendum as a chance for me to speak out about how I wanted my future to be, regardless of whether I would get to vote or not (which obviously, I wouldn’t). What I did not know though, is that just researching about Scottish and British Politics would cause me to branch out to other countries politics and become more aware social and…
