dialogue during very ancient times. Euthyphro was

unity. For thousands of years many philosophers
and theologians have tied moral principles to the
existence of God. T...

Checks And Balances Imperial Presidency

In most of his rhetoric, Madison forcefully
rejected the possibility that the national
government would encroach on the state governments
by constructing a theory of self-regulating
federalism. Madison and his colleagues often tried
to deflect concerns that the national government
would trespass on the rights of states and
citizens by suggesting that the national
government would have little opportunity or
motivation to do so. Writing long before the
welfare state was imagined, Madison and Hamil...

Sums Of Money Amount Of Money

Financing elections is one of the major and
disputable problems that American politics face
presently. Analysts became worried that the rising
costs of campaigns distort elections in the
interests who have the money. Also another problem
that worried people and analysts was that the
politics seemed to be leaving the realm of
political parties, and those who had the money to
afford expensive media campaigns won the privilege
of governing us. Next reformers required and

increasingly loosely. In a close analysis of the

the mere crossing or opening) of borders arguing
that this interpretation offers the most
distinctive and helpful insight into contemporary
world affairs. The article goes on to explore one
of the key questions raised by thi...

Effect On Society V Chip

Mass communications is one of the most popular
college majors in the country, which perhaps
reflects a belief in the importance of
communications systems in society. The
communications system, consisting of radio,
television, film, newspapers and magazines,
effects how we think, how we feel, and how we
live. Therefore, we must ask ourselves, Is media
mere entertainment, or are there serious side
effects of the national preoccupation with the
media? Long-term exposure to the media has a

Hate crimes are on the rise all over the United
States because there are so many different
cultures, which do not get along. The majority of
these crimes are occurring mostly in the states
where there are no hate crime laws or where the
laws are not strict enough, which is why all
states should have some type of law to prevent
such crimes, along with federal intervention to
stiffen the penalties. Laws against hate crimes
should exist in every state because these laws

Legalize It? : Debating American Drug Policy The
controversy surrounding the legalization of drugs
has raged since the late 1930 s and it seems it
will continue well into the future. Such a debate

ideas before with the prohibition of alcohol in
the 1920 s. With the illegality of alcohol the
mafia could produce liquor and therefore had
considerable control over those who wanted their
substance and service. The role that the mafia

19 Th Century Paine Argued

The debate over the distribution of property and
the unnatural inequality it produces has long
troubled political thinkers, as Jean-Jacques
Rousseau mused in his Discourse on the Origins of
Inequality: It is obviously contrary to the law of
nature, however it may be defined for a child to
command an old man, for an imbecile to lead a wise
man, and for a handful of people to gorge
themselves on superfluities while the starving
multitude lacks necessities. (Rousseau, p. 869)
