Roman Catholic Church Plato Republic
1,628 words
Pre-Political Condition Recent challenges to the
modern secular state make us to review the
statements made by its theoretical founders like
Hobbes. The present political condition was based
not on the need of salvation or desire to realize
political natures, but on their fear of death and
desire for self-preservation. Hobbes argues that
the desire for security is the most rational need
of our nature. The human condition based on the
need satisfaction is in harmony with human nature.

Robert Dahl on Democracy In On Democracy, Robert
Dahl argues "Democracy and market-capitalism are
like two persons bound in a tempestuous marriage
that is driven by conflict and yet endures because
neither partner wishes to separate from the other"
(Dahl, p. 166). The statement is certainly true;
however we also need to consider peoples attitudes
towards both capitalism and democracy. While
democracy is envisioned by the majority of people
as something great, capitalism is often

Put An End Individual And Society
4,053 words
Society is flawed. There are critical imbalances
in it that cause much of humanity to suffer. In,
the most interesting work from this past
half-semester, The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx
is reacting to this fact by describing his vision
of a perfectly balanced society, a communist
society. Simply put, a communist society is one
where all property is held in common. No one
person has more than the other, but rather
everyone shares in the fruits of their labors.
Marx is writing of this society b...

Midsummer Night Dream Romeo And Juliet

The masks of comedy and tragedy are only
distinguishable by a smile or frown, happiness or
sadness, life or death. The same is true of
Shakespearean plays. The comedies are known for
their happy conclusions, reconciliation of the
characters, a justification of events, and life at
the end. On the other hand, the tragedies are
known for their miserable conclusions, destruction
of the characters, a question of why this had to
happen, and death at the end. Comedies make us
laugh, triumph in the huma...

Ayn Rand York Alfred

Communism has failed in Europe because of its lack
of care for the individual, its corrupt leaders
and also because it went against human nature. Two
novels that demonstrate this statement are the
semi-autobiographical We the Living by Ayn Rand,
and Julian Barnes The Porcupine. According to Ayn
Rand, Communists were pitiless. When Kira, the
protagonist of the story, begged for help to save
her lovers life, the only answer she received from
the general was Why in the face of the Union of

Suffering in Crime and Punishment It is an
unfortunate aspect of life, but suffering is all
around us. We as a human society have always
realized this and have looked for ways to cope
with it. The time of 19 th century Russia, in
which Fyodor Dostoyevsky lived, was filled with
far more suffering, than we tolerate today. His
environment was filled with poverty, filth, and
social turmoil, which made the atmosphere far more
volatile than current life. Dostoyevsky tackles
the topic of suffering in C...
