The first of these is the personally responsible which is more of a “hands-on” type of citizen. They actively do things, such as giving blood and recycling, that will directly benefit the community in which they live. Personally responsible citizens are rich with “honesty, integrity, self-discipline, and hard…

I made sure that the floor was confortable and that the sunshine wasn’t bordering me, then when I got my food I began to stretch to be ready to eat my food.

‘right’ behavior” (Henslin, 2011, p. 49). To violate a norm is to go against what is considered right behavior. There are different types of violations. A folkway, for instance, is “a norm that is not strictly enforced” (Henslin, 2011, p. 51). While mores are “norms that are strictly enforced because they are thought essential to core values or the wellbeing of the group” (Henslin, 2011, p. 51). Norms are not the same everywhere.

Maude displayed bright colors and disturbed the grieving period by sneezing or eating loudly. Harold broke a folkway; Maude broke a more.

When I was about to perform my violation of the social norm of simply jumping up and down in…

discuss politics or religion at the dinner table, for they cause the most heated debates and could ruin even the best warm home-cooked meals. In any case, Thomas More must have not had an appetite when writing Utopia in 1516. Thomas More had one idea on his mind, to satirically criticize Europe's political corruption as well as the religious hypocrisy. More had never intended to create a template or even remotely contribute to the ideals of a perfect society, instead, Utopia was a conversation…

if there was a way and a plan to fix the problems in these governments? Thomas More and Machiavelli both had the same thought when they created The Prince and Utopia, they wanted to share their opinions on how a government should be ruled. Even though More and Machiavelli wanted to achieve the same goal, have a stable government, they both had very different beliefs on how to do so. Lets begin with human beliefs. Thomas More had very different beliefs than Machiavelli. He believed that humans…
