2.2.2 PARTICULARISM DISPOSITION OF DEMOCRACY In this section, I discuss the dominant strands of particularism. The particularist arguments enrich our understanding of the cultural and communal underpinnings of political life in democratic societies. According to these perspectives, normative judgments about the development and improvement of democratic practices must only be sought out in reference to particular socio-cultural traditions and configurations. By “particularism” the advocates…

The policy’s focus is on prevention by limiting sun exposure in order to limit ultraviolet (UV) radiation and rates of skin cancer (Rhainds and Rosen, 2006). This includes reducing exposure by educating people to understand more about the harmful effects of UV radiation. With policy that focuses on prevention instead of acute care, there will be less cases. Education starts young because long term exposure is harmful and children need to get in the habit for early prevention practices (Rhainds…

Merton. He proposed that science is characterized by four traits of science that he calls “institutional imperative” (Merton, 1973). The first is called “universalism” meaning that science is independent of the protagonists’ personal and social beliefs. Physics as a science is described by physicists as “observer independent”. Many scientists believe that science is universal .the second is “communism” stating…

James Hood’s article, Muslims in Evangelical Churches, models a welcoming approach to the assimilation of sacred worship places on the account of Jesus’ teaching on love. Heartsong Church and Aldersgate Methodist Church all-encompassing support of allowing Muslims to worship in their church voids the importance of sacred places. Not by any means should Christian disrespect or show hatred towards another religious beliefs. However, churches should not allow their places of worship to be shared or…

1. Introduction A dispute between sovereignty and global security, which is based on human rights, has been more contentious to this day as the world becomes globalised, and this proposition means that global security is contradictory to sovereignty in a state system which was established from the Peace of Westphalia following the Thirty year’s War. In fact, Contemporary global security in a wide sense encompasses intricate as well as debatable issues in terms of human security resting on…

In summary, Dante experienced the issues coming from the battle between Philip IV's nationalist power (King from 1285-1314, who, during the war of the so-called Sicilian Vespers helped the Anjou against the Aragonese) and the papacy's universal power that in the while had degenerated more and more until the French King decided to tax the income of the ecclesiastics, provoking Pope Boniface VIII's ire, who, in contrast, published some important bulls trying to limit Philip's powers. In fact, one…

Human rights, those rights that are endowed to every individual, has been a developing discourse, involving many factors, and aims to attain some basic level of equality amongst all humans. In 1948, the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights (UNHDR) was enacted; this document, which emerged as a direct result of the atrocities committed during World War II, lists thirty not-legally binding articles, each outlining these intrinsic and inalienable rights. Among these, the following are…

Western Civilization The term, western civilization, refers to a series of cultures that evolved and diffused over time, and impacted societies across the world. Western civilization, “walks on two legs, one Hebrew, and one Greek”, and the western world view concerning ethical human behavior and social justice has its roots in both Hebrew and Greek thought. Social justice, the treatment of human beings, was developed by the Hebrews and Greeks. During the age of classical prophecy, the religious…

they become the property of those few people who are lucky enough to live in a society that recognises and enforces human rights. He believes human rights are always changing and tend to be fixed to their own time and place, Stephen believes that universalism has to account for such change, he believes we should resist change in the human rights agenda on certain rights and adapt to others, for example; the inclusion of gender equality among the forbidden grounds of discrimination. Only…

I. Post-structuralism Foucault thought is often associated with post-structuralism. Although he denied his association with it, there are aspects of his thought that are aligned with post-structuralist thinking. Like post-structuralism, he is very critical of concept of a human subject. He is highly critical on the concept of the Cartesian subject. In one of his interviews, he says that the subject “… is not a substance. It is a form, and this form is not primarily or always identical to the…
