caused by the defense of constitutional rights and
liberties, but that of material conditions of life
in America were not very favorable and that social
and economic factors should be considered as the

Susan Bordo works at the University of Kentucky as
the Otis A. Singletary Chair of Humanities. She
also is a philosopher who deals with many
traditional aspects of philosophy such as Rene
Descartes and Sigmund Freud. However, what sets
Bordo apart from most other philosophers is her
training of the study of popular culture and
representations of the body. She is a philosopher,
that is, who writes not only about Plato but also
about Madonna and O. J. (Bordo 138). Much of
Bordo's work as a teacher...

Woman Norma Rae Norma Rae Great
665 words
It is easy to see why the film, Norma Rae,
received great praise at the time of its making.
Sally Field gives a heart wrenching performance,
providing a realistic portrayal of the shockingly
oppressive working climate of the blue-collar
worker. This is an older movie, thus sustaining
the elements of the 'Hollywoodism' that are
prominent now to a minimum. Nevertheless, the
director successfully portrayed reality through
exhibition of a certain culture, language, gender
rating and other imminent a...

Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
1,208 words
No thinker, perhaps, has had more influence upon
contemporary libertarians than the novelist and
non-academic philosopher, Ayn Rand. For that
reason alone, she deserves attention; however,
many of her arguments have been misunderstood,
misrepresented or ignored. As George Smith has
commented, there has appeared relatively little in
the way of competent reflection of Ayn Rand as a
philosopher. Accounts written by [her] admirers
are frequently eulogistic and uncritical, where as

One of Ancient Romes most important forms of
public entertainment took place in amphitheaters.
These were the gladiatorial games. Although there
were more renown and primordial forms of
entertainment, such as the chariot races,
gladiatorial activities became a widely popular
and powerful form of leisure for Romes powerful
and common citizens. Roland August writes: It only
remained for the emperors to learn the lessons of
experience. They hastened to appropriate, to their
own advantage, as far as...

the president the same admiration and loyalty as
subjects would to a benevolent ruler. This is why
character and image are so important in all
presidential campaigns. Americans expect their
president to uphold the ideal of a model American
as well as cater to their every policy preference.

Status Of Women Men And Women

What do women and Islam have in common? Besides
the stereotyped images that each suffers from
individually, the status of women in Islam is one
of the most extremely misunderstood and
incorrectly portrayed things in western society.
We can investigate why this is so later. First, a
brief introduction to the actual status of women
in Islam is in order. Before discussing issues
pertinent to the social status of women, consider

Innocent Lives Prime Minister

When has war ever been fair, just or necessary?
Yet, we all wage wars. In my opinion all wars are
a result of the breakdown of the rules of society
which leads to the polarization of sensibility and
reason. The root cause of the problem is usually
trivial compared to the consequential disaster. No
reason can warrant the taking of precious innocent
lives; yet wars take place despite the wisdom and
the best efforts of the human race, almost as if
they are preordained. I dont believe they are
