Most of My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass focused heavily on Frederick’s early life. Douglass uses his own experience to depict the injustice of slavery. He tends to focus on slavery and how it abolishes humanity itself. Slavery has a long history. It is not a humane choice. He writes in gory detail about the cruelties slaves withhold and how slavery is dehumanizing. Many arguments have risen regarding the definition of slavery. What is slavery? Is there one solid definition?…

He emphasized the need for social service to India’s poor. But retained traditional notions of karma, rebirth, and castes.

In the second chapter of Groundwork For the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant aims to move from the popular moral philosophy in order to establish a metaphysics of morals. Kant 's main opponents in this chapter are the philosophers of self-love. These philosophers argue that everyone is motivated by their rational self-interest. This viewpoint is dangerous to Kant; both supposedly moral acts and immoral acts come from the same source and are therefore indistinguishable. This viewpoint is also…

the seventh chapter almost reminds me of philosophical concepts. Nevertheless, I was able to grasp and make mine some of his ideas. One that I really like is the one that says that God’s kingdom is not only heavenly but also earthly. In fact, a presupposition that God’s kingdom is only heavenly gives a sort of excuse to oppressors to keep subordinating other people since they would still be able to experience liberty in the afterlife. Of course, this is completely wrong. Indeed, God’s kingdom is…

Adoption encompasses three sets of lives, consisting of the birth parent(s), adoptive parents, and the adoptee, thus, forming what is known as a triad. Moreover, it has theological roots, and all facets of the triad can result in both…
