For many years now, we have seen the lives of politicians and ministers be publicised in the media. Whether it is through the news, newspapers or magazines, or even online, the lives of our politicians have been publicised for the nation and world to see. This raises the question of whether or not politicians’ lives should remain hidden from the public eye, or their private information should be made public for Australians to see. I believe that politicians should have their private lives put…

My second premise is that the state should have minimal involvement in our daily lives and only exist for the purpose of protecting our rights and freedoms. Robert Nozick, was a philosopher who similarly to Locke agreed that people have a natural right to life, liberty and security. He introduced the idea of a “minimal state”. This is a state in which the role of the government is to act as a “night watchman” and is established to protect citizens against violence, burglary, and scams. Nozick,…

Pay Secrecy The article that I found discussed all the different aspects of pay secrecy: what it is, what makes it illegal, what happens to employers that commit pay secrecy, and how employees can report it. The article also explained the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and how it protects employees about talking about pay at work place, which is legal. Also, President Obama has recently signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from retaliating against employees who talk…

significant research tool for many scholars applying the framework in their everyday research. The framework starts by explaining the cultural theory as a way to conceptualize and measure deep core beliefs. During policy making policy broker and the sovereign in subsystems contain actors who make authoritative decisions and mediate between coalitions.

In order to preserve society, a balance of individual and state must be addressed as well as one’s personal conscience. Government’s hold a lot of power, and they let that power go to their head. They let their pride, fear, arrogance, and vanity get the best of them. This affects their personal and lawful decisions.
