participation in the state. However, even among those who are in consensus regarding the emergence of the civil state, there is a discrepancy in how they perceive the purpose of government; there are those that advocate intensive government involvement, stringent policies, and an ideology akin to the Hobbesian understanding that humans are basically brutish and ruled by their self-interest. Apart from them would be those who prefer a partnership between the government and the governed; the…

That is a sentence in the essay which clearly states Balko’s opinion about whether or not the government should be involved in what you are allowed to eat.

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”.

past, including welfare. One of the parts that catch my attention from the history of welfare is that it was one of the reason states started controlling the inflow of people in their territory. They started to keep records of new arrivals, limiting the time period they can stay, and turned people away if they were sick, or seem like they would become a burden to the state for any other reason. Some of the punishment back then for those who disobey were brutal. For example, if someone was…

Secretary Purdue, It has been brought to my attention that, in recent years, motions have been made to decrease NSLP funding. Over time, I have come to see a pattern in the NSLP. My findings include: less financial support (to the NSLP) makes for poorer quality, which makes for low involvement and student participation, which brings even lower income, and the cycle repeats. While funds may be a large part of the cycle, the food condition is the weak link in the NSLP. The decrease in…
