Equal Protection And Supreme Court Cases
1,177 wordsBrown v. Board of Education (1954) stands as a turning point in Supreme Court decision making as it erased segregation in schools and set a new standard for civil rights cases. Using stricter notions of scrutiny the Court was able to revitalize the Fourteenth Amendment. However, while this case set new standards in civil rights, the Court has since had a difficult time defining their role in cases regarding racial discrimination. Washington v. Davis (1976) and Mccleskey v. Kemp (1987) are two su...

Principles And Definitions Prove The Ideas Innate
389 wordsRationalists argued from self-evident basic principles and definitions, with Leibniz, in particular, using his principle of sufficient reason as a way to deduce knowledge. Arguing from such principles and definitions, the rationalists held, could lead to certain knowledge through deductive proof, since if an arguments premises are true, it is guaranteed its conclusion be true. This is the only way to acquire knowledge since knowledge must be absolutely certain; else, it is not knowledge at all. ...

Death Of A Salesman Willy Loman
1,103 words... he still has an affair; this hypocrisy is highlighted by the way this line leads on to a scene with The Woman. Despite telling her that she is "the best" he constantly interrupts her and it's obvious that the household revolves around Willy and his two boys - this is symbolized by the three chairs at the kitchen table. We can also see how Willy is mentally "weak" - he confuses the present with his romanticism past. Linda's "strangely rhythmic" sentence "Attention, attention must be finally p...

'not Guilty But Accused' Guilty But Accused' Responsibility
1,105 wordsIn this essay I want to explicate the intuition that literature demands an ethical response that not only precedes interpretation but also serves as its basis. I am not arguing that the response to texts should be ethical, but simply that it is ethical before it is interpretive. The interpretive position adopted by critics of literature is determined not by the 'interpretive community' to which they belong, nor by their "a priori" biases and ideological perspective, but by the responsibility the...

Future Of Freedom Liberty And Rights Democracy
690 wordsDemocracy and universal suffrage are nowadays identified with the words liberty and basic rights. Not necessarily so argues Fareed Zakaria suggesting that it is not democracy itself that brings about liberty and rights, but that the creation and protection of those inalienable rights - along with economic progress and a rise in living standards - that ultimately make for legitimate democracy. To criticize democracy is sometimes seen as like criticizing the idea of human rights; how can anybody d...

Threat To The United States Soviet Union
1,354 wordsIn 1938, the United States possessed the most productive economy in the world with one of the largest navies. However, to describe it as a fully active world power as we have shown already would be inaccurate. If it was America that sealed the fate of Germany in the First World War, its financial muscle during the twenties that brought a degree of stability to Europe, then it was its isolationist policy in the thirties compounded by the Depression that upset the international system. This encour...
