Bertrand Russell Moral Principles
1,062 words
Socrates and Euthyphro had a pretty educating
dialogue during very ancient times. Euthyphro was
concerned about the issue that he had to judge his
own father for a murder that he committed.
Socrates and Euthyphro try to figure out what is
actually good and what is not. This theme goes

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

Modern Man Ideal Man
850 words
For thousands of years men as a gender have
dominated this world, because for the most part
men are physically stronger than women.
Unfortunately, science and its statistics have
proved man to be inferior to women. For example,
men have a shorter lifespan than women, men are
more likely to have a car accident, and women are
safer drivers; some studies have gone as far as to
prove that women are smarter than men. Since the
1960 s womens rights have expanded broadly in the
United States and around...

must be blind. Women have always taken a back seat
to men in American society. This occurrence is not
only found in the United States, but in other
countries as well. There is one set of standards
that apply to men, and another set of standards
that apply to women. This is evident in the home,
workplace, and society in general. Look no further
than the home to see the first sign that men and
women are not equal. The traditional role of the
man w...
