Right-wing politics

Thank you for providing me the space to explain why I want to pursue my PhD in Political Science. In this brief statement I will explain my major research interests, why I believe those areas are both academically and politically significant, and why I would like to attend your program. In my graduate studies I would like to pursue research on the role and influence of ancient political thought on early modern political thought and how that has shaped our contemporary political context. I am…

The right to receive a proper basic education is free in the United States. It is the right of the child to attend school everyday, however after the age sixteen they are not forced to go anymore. There’s always the agreement about how proper is the public education provided to our children. Children in the United States go to school from about the ages of five till about the age of eighteen, in which they learn basic educational life skills. However, when it comes to education in politics the…

The process of discovering the ideological foundations of power systems in the world is profoundly linked to how gaining such knowledge is a product of transformation in both individuals and groups. This is evident in Guevara’s The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) and Becker’s tragicomic film Goodbye Lenin! (2003) where both protagonists and their environments undergo a process of political-self reflection. As Guevara encounters Latin American poverty he embraces communism and similarly, the…

is not a case of “playing God; it is a case of fulfilling the duties of a doctor” (p. 207) Similar to “ends justify means” Nobel cause corruption can cause suspect to be freed because the officer violated his/her rights. Illegal actions that violate the rights of citizens are never right or excusable. Arrogance corrupts by obscuring the need for thoughts. Cowardice corrupts by denying the point of thought, thus making judgment to the whims of impulse. “Ends justifies the Means”…

the divide between the far left and center and the far right and center continue to expand. The groups at each end of the spectrum have developed into radical factions, much to the dismay of the Americans in the middle of the spectrum. In the past few decades alone, a group based on the ideas of white nationalism has emerged on the far right side of the political spectrum: the alt-right. Cory Collins, author of the article “What Is the ‘Alt-Right’?”, states an alternative represents…

rituals and how they played an integral role in connecting abstract influences within residents and imperial identities. Ritual “helped to reaffirm hierarchy and strengthen people’s affiliations to local corporations, their city, the imperial body politic, and the spiritual body of Christ.” (Ramos, 212) Additionally, as mentioned in the latter quote, the city’s Cabildo (town council) applied ritual to promote a stronger sense of religiosity to the residents of Puebla. These two roles shared…

The Mothers of the Plaza De Mayo were direct victims of oppression. They were not only obvious victims of violence, but also victims of gender exploitation, powerlessness, and cultural imperialism as described by social justice theorist Iris Young. After reading Marguerite Bouvards “Taking space: Women and Political Power,” I have concluded that powerlessness can in fact be overcome, civil disobedience can work to bring awareness to grievances, and a three part strategy, as outlined by David…

Politics and Nursing The nursing profession operates under many strict government regulations and laws as well as facility-specific policies on an everyday basis. Many laws help to keep the nurses and their patients safe. The nurses’ involvement with politics begins the moment they begin nursing school. The very curriculum that nurses must successfully accomplish is the result of a political process in order to implement a standard for minimum education to enter the workforce. Nurses learn about…

One of Aristotle’s most famous claims, in his discussion on politics, is that “a human being is by nature an animal meant for a city” (Aristotle 4). By this, he is asserting that human beings are naturally destined to live their best life in an independent political association of some sort, among and in cooperation with other humans. The main reasoning for this assertion is the natural inherent necessity for other humans that human beings require. The primary purpose of humans, in Aristotle’s…

Dahl on Behavioral Science and its Approach to Political Science In a thorough analysis and dissection of behavioral science, Dr. Robert Dahl explores the history of behavioral science and the men behind its design and ingenuity. While exploring its history Dahl takes on the task of critically analyzing what behavioral science was, is, and could be and how the new social science will make itself indispensable to the political arena. In his piece titled The Behavioral Approach in Political…
