police departments. Whether for being pulled over or maybe not following city ordinances in the towns we live in. The next level of government would be our state government. This can also be through state police agencies, our public libraries, our public schools, and state departments that deal with driver’s licenses and many other state issues. National Government deals with money,…

people have done in the past. There have been so many wrongs in the past that some people still feel the need to be apologizing for them, and some people still feel they are owed an apology from the governments of the involved countries. In “A Sorry State”, Mitch Miyagawa discusses the many apologies that have been given out by governments around the world and what those apologies truly accomplish. There has been an apology given for every war, every case of discrimination, and every misguided…
similarities with Mozi, but they actually have far more in common when it comes to how they believe a government should be run. The ideal state in both Daoist, and Mohist thought operate in such a way that they are highly similar, not so much as explicit structure, but more so in the underlying roots of legitimacy, the basis of laws, and the role of the state to bring order. The foundation of Laozi’s philosophy is that to create order, a ruler cannot become tied up in making moral distinctions…
otherwise would not do. The concept of power is a central theme to the study of International Relations, as there exist many forms and categories of it making it open to contestation and thus difficult to define. In particular, large entities and state power is the discourse in indicating social, political, economic, and military power.

In a follow up email, I requested that I be able to speak with Ms. Walker on Monday…

At the crux of Locke’s Second Treatise on Government is the idea that there is a natural law under which we all fall under, but in order to ensure these freedoms are protected from exploitation we create societies and governments. However, there is some grey area when it comes to determining whether or not a person has given consent to the government, and at what point the governmental system crosses the line in exercising its power and thereby loses its legitimacy and can rightfully be…
“Go Kylie go! Five hundred meters left! Give it all you got! Five hundred meters left!” screamed Coach Leaman as I ran past her on the last lap at the state cross country meet. That was the moment when I knew I could finish this race with a personal record. For five months, I had worked hard to qualify for state. When most kids were sleeping, I was running. When most kids were at the pool on hot summer days, I was running. It wasn’t just me though, I was on a team of nineteen fantastic girls…
“Dying is not a crime,” Jack Kevorkian, a pathologist once said, and quite frankly, it shouldn’t be. In a nation as the United States in which one can start a family and give birth to new lives in liberty, why is the freedom to end his or her own disallowed? To choose to give away something of one’s own is not a crime, to choose to give up their lives should also be put in the same class, they are not giving up their soul to the devil, but getting rid of the devil in the name of pain bugging…
