Snell's law

The Leviathon was written as a political fiction establishing the notion of a political community, establishing itself coherently with the social contract argument, which is “a clear device that connects three aspects of political theory: a specific view of human nature… of problems that would arise in the absence of political authority … of government best suited to solve such problems” . Hobbes addresses all three, which we will see by answering the problematique: How does Hobbes justify…

In Dr. Martin Luther King’s letter and speech, there is both emotional and logical text. The one that is more emotional would be his speech. His letter would be more logical then. The reason why the letter is more logical or logos is because it has facts and data but also it uses testimony. He used more logical language in his letter because he was trying to get this point across to certain people, he wanted to use truthful information to back up everything he said. The reason the speech has a…

Views on social justice are highly important in defining the roles of the state within society. The perspectives presented by John Rawls and Robert Nozick demonstrate two extremely different views of societal justice. Each of these philosophers give their own principles of justice, which are sets of rules society must follow in order to be just. In this paper, I will analyze the views of each of these thinkers. I will also argue that the Rawls’ principles of justice are preferable to Nozick’s…

Dual Foundations of Law One of the more interesting aspects of law in general is how the subject both evolves and is consistently marked by debate on multiple levels. As ideologies in a society change, so too does the law follow, as witnessed by the legal actions prompted by women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, and a vast range of other social and political issues. As this occurs, however, the debate invariably ensues as to the moral correctness of any potential change. Some, like…

The Crucible and 12 Angry Men are two plays that expressed the same theme of justice differently throughout each play. From their differing time periods and setting, both plays explore the justice system within society and the role people play within the system. Both 12 Angry Men and The Crucible have similarities, both plays have main characters that are attempting to right wrongs that they see being committed in their respected plays. Once the authors introduced the characters to us they then…

The Meekness of Man Man believes that he is in control of his life and the world around him. But Naturalism and nature both have another idea about the amount of control man has. According to the views of Naturalism, man is in submission to nature and nature has no care whatsoever about what happens to him, and that man’s goal in life is to survive. Stephen Crane portrays these ideas in his novel The Open Boat with his carefully chosen rhetorical devices, diction choices, and syntax. His…

Family can be the strongest relationship, bond or connection you can have, but it only takes one person to break the unity. In the novel, Lullabies For Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill and the memoir The Liar’s Club by Mary Karr they all show that one’s negative actions can severely impact the rest of the family, even if it is not deliberate. One’s bad behaviour can separate them and their family from society. Their uncontrollable actions can tear their families apart. In addition to that,…

speech is limited to protect itself. In the snake’s case, the censorship of ideas that lead to the suppression of free speech is then blocked. This is seen by the eagles as an attack on free speech, but allowing absolute free speech would violate many laws in the constitution including privacy and free speech itself. An example of this case is explained in Marcia Clemmitts’ article when she writes that Richard Spencer, the alt-right leader that tried to attend the Conservative Political Action…

On the other hand, if some action qualifies as genocide after that it can say, that the denial is an element of genocide and it is out of freedom of expression and we have the breach of law, which is out of the scope of freedom of…
