For more than 200 years before the Indian Mutiny
of 1857, there had been a British presence in
India. They began as merchant ventures and their
holdings on the land were relatively small. Over
the years they had expanded, creating forts for
protection and larger trading stations.
Eventually, to make certain that there would be
stability and a successful trade business, Britain
deployed many of its armed forces there and also
raised forces of natives, thus becoming an active
power in 18 th Centur...

George Orwell was chiefly interested in justice
and equality. He was a deeply pessimistic man who
had powers of imagination which few of his
contemporaries dreamed one man could have. Orwell

qualities that were and still are manifest in his
work, did not reveal themselves in his life
(Scott-Killer 273). In his short life, Orwell
distinguished himself as a novelist, journalist,
essayist, literary critic, and political
polemicist. In his writings, Orw...

Concealed Carry Permits Law Abiding Citizens
1,548 words
Gun control has been a controversial issue for
years. A vast majority of citizens believe that if
gun control is strictly enforced it would quickly
reduce the threat of crime. Many innocent people
feel they have the right to bear arms for
protection, or even for the pleasure of hunting.
These people are penalized for protecting their
lives, or even for enjoying a common, innocent
sport. To enforce gun control throughout the
nation, means violating a persons Constitutional
rights. Although some p...

State Of Nature State Of War

According to the natural right theory, the state
of nature is the original condition of human
beings in regard to any common authority. In the
state of nature, according to Thomas Hobbes, each
individual has a right to everything, even the
body / life of the other. The state of nature can
lead to the state of moral chaos. Moral chaos
produces physical chaos or war, thus the state of
war, the war of all against all. The reason this
is because no one has any connection to the other,
everyone has t...
