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.

“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 what extent in the U.S. does the government-federal, state, and local-have the duty to monitor the internet content? I find myself pondering the argument of if it is okay for the government to watch internet activity. In some circumstances I am in favor of the U.S. government-federal, state, and local watching over what we do on the internet.

interested solely in power, pure power” (Orwell 332). In 1984 the Party did many unethical things to keep their power for example, they killed people, manipulated people, lied to people and tortured people. “One combination or another, these three super-states are permanently at war, and have been so for the past twenty-five years.
