...bring a fundamental improvement to the human condition. Good purposes and fulfilling activities are hard to specify impersonally in any case and any attempt to do so would insult individuals’ freedom to define such things for themselves. In this view, no single ideal of meaningful work could cover the variety of individual tastes and inclinations, nor accommodate the remarkable ability of people to invest their work with meaning even when the work has little to offer in the way of variety, authority, complexity, or social standing. 2) 1) In everyday life, work is still at the center of things; along with love, it is the most important element of a satisfying and happy life. In ordinary life, the ideal of “meaningful work,” or work that has sufficient scope for self-direction, complexity, and consequential effects to support pride and a sense of purpose, is more relevant than ever. Few still believe that a different economic and political order can bring a fundamental improvement to the human condition. Good purposes and fulfilling activities are hard to specify impersonally in any case and any attempt to do so would insult individuals’ freedom to define such things for themselves.

...may be unloving of his subjects. Seeking to defend the traditional view of eternal damnation, Murray evaluates two models of hell that Christians commonly endorse, which he calls the penalty model and the natural consequence model. As he analyzes objections to each model, Murray concludes that the best defense for the traditional view of eternal damnation is a combination of the two, a hybrid model. The penalty model presents an idea that all humans who are guilty of sin must pay a penalty, and so are punished with spiritual death. However, since Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, those who accept him do not have to pay the penalty. The natural consequences model presents an idea that on Earth, all humans are given libertarian freedom. The decisions that one makes throughout their life will dictate whether they’re a self-lover or a God-lover, which in turn dictates their after-life. The hybrid model takes a combination of these two...

...retaliation and the thirst for freedom. On the other hand, this helped slave-masters by making the slaves more content and happy of their situation on the plantations. Slaves in the lowcountry kept their African traditions alive more than slaves from other regions most likely because of the communities they created with other slaves. Although the slaves created small communities within plantations, a single black society never emerged from the lowcountry. After the production of rice increased, slaves became essential to the economy. The number of slaveholders was so great in South Carolina that government was almost solely made up of the planter class. These planters ruled through a long chain of command. Slaves were vital to the mercantilist economy of this time period. The Carolina colony was known for a profitable plantation economy ran by the African slaves. Outside of their owner’s homes, urban slave women found employment as cooks, seamstresses, weavers and more. Slave women began to dominate the public markets so much they were being charged with extortion and engrossing. Slaves also created their own grocery stores and taverns to cater to and bring in other slaves for business. Urban slaves figured out ways to improve their lives and receive tastes of freedom while rural slaves had less opportunity with the rice revolution. Lowcountry slaves tried to recreate Africa in America as much as they could. A large park of Lowcountry slaves “freedom” was the fact that they kept/incorporated...

...Censorship should not interfere with freedom of expression in the arts Whether in ancient Rome or in the modern United States, censorship has existed in every society at every age. Art that challenges the strongly held beliefs of any society – whether those be political, ideological, religious, or otherwise – causes offense and creates pressure for censorship. At the same time, almost every society has found value in the existence of visual art. What limitations on censorship should be made for the sake of artist value, or more broadly freedom of expression? “Artistic merit” and “offensiveness” are nebulous concepts lacking in objectivity, shifting with the tastes of society at any given time. Yet the value of art to society, both positive and negative, cannot be doubted. In modern American society, with its heterogeneous tastes, the tension between the two concepts becomes especially vivid. Given the divergent and unpredictable tastes of society, the fact that destroying a work permanently removes it from future generations, and considering censorship's dreadful history, the decision to censor is one appropriately made with caution. But neither can it be said that a work should never be censored, for art can and does cause offense, and even a society as diverse as ours will find consensus at the extremes. Rather, striking the appropriate balance calls ultimately for good judgment. In making this judgment, what is the appropriate role of the law and the courts? Those who think...

...Schlosser frames today’s Fast Food giants in history,American entrepreneurialism, and over consumption in respect to consumer and employee wellbeing. The power of all modern Fast Food giants combined have eclipsed the power of any one government. Marketing has become a key component to luring consumers to fast food. Schlosser makes the argument that a once AllAmerican ideal, fast food has grown too big to control. Schlosser highlights the freedom right philosophy of make your own luck through the story of Carl’s Jr. founder, Carl Karcher. Karcher did not grow up in the restaurant business, rather a string of opportunities and risk created a perfect storm for Karcher. At a young age Carl went to work for family in California. After 3 years he delivered fresh bread for a bakery. He was now married and took out a loan to buy a hot dog stand. 4 years later he opened his first restaurant Carl’s DriveIn BBQ. This was all happening at the same time McDonald’s was becoming big in Southern California. In 30 years Carl’s Jr had over 300 restaurants. By managing risk and a good business model, Carl Karcher thrived using freedom right philosophy. He also happened to be a political conservative. Order left philosophy is brought to life in Fast Food Nation in the horrific plight of Kenny Dobbins, a factory worker. Kenny suffered a herniated disc in his back from catching a box. Kenny was hit by a train. Kenny was chemically burned inside and outside his body. Kenny had a massive heart attack on the job, and while recovering in the hospital...

...back with her will.” Such resistance reveals how forbidden this pleasure really is. When she finally does acknowledge the joy, she feels possessed by it and must abandon herself to it as the word free escapes from her lips. Louise’s life offers no refuge for this kind of joy, and the rest of society will never accept it or understand it. Extreme circumstances have given Louise a taste of this forbidden fruit, and her thoughts are, in turn, extreme. She sees her life as being absolutely hers and her new independence as the core of her being. Overwhelmed, Louise even turns to prayer, hoping for a long life in which to enjoy this feeling. When Brently returns, he unwittingly yanks Louise’s independence away from her, putting it once again out of her reach. The forbidden joy disappears as quickly as it came, but the taste of it is enough to kill her. Marriage is a sacred, long-standing institution. However, there are times in which the relationship between a wife and her spouse is merely a master and slave one. Not until the 1960s did women begin to speak up their voice and require their right of freedom. In her influential work of feminism "The Story of An Hour," Kate Chopin reflects the gloomy...

...interest. Revelation of military secrets and other sensitive government information may be contrary to thepublic interest, even if it is true. However, public interest is not a term which is easy to define. * Privacy. Salacious details of the lives of public figures is a central content element in many media. Publication is not necessarily justified simply because the information is true. Privacy is also a right, and one which conflicts with free speech. See: paparazzi. * Fantasy. Fantasy is an element of entertainment, which is a legitimate goal of media content. Journalism may mix fantasy and truth, with resulting ethical dilemmas. See: National Enquirer, Jayson Blair scandal, Adnan Hajj photographs controversy. * Taste. Photo journalists who cover war and disasters confront situations which may shock the sensitivities of their audiences. For example, human remains are rarely screened. The ethical issue is how far should one risk shocking an audience's sensitivities in...

...this essay I am going to be talking about their perception of working class women in the following three films; Saturday night and Sunday morning, Room at the top and A taste of honey. In the British new wave films women are portrayed to be independent of man in terms of welfare. In the film a taste of honey the mother Helen and her daughter Jo are seen to have an economic independence as they can rent an apartment and live by themselves. Jo’s economic independence is further emphasised when her mother leaves her and she makes a living by getting a job at a shoe store. The women are seen to be positively playing a different role in the new wave films and contributing economically to society rather than just being housewives. Moreover working class women have a sense of modernity; there is a greater focus on women and leisure time that at home with husbands and looking after kids. For example in the film Saturday night and Sunday morning there aren’t many scenes that show Brenda at home looking with her family rather many scenes showing her with Arthur. However this representation carries to middle class women for example in Room at the top, we hardly see Alice with her husband. I think new wave films show this to reflect this new post war freedom that floated to all women not just one class of women. The freedom was somehow diminishing the stereotypical woman in Britain i.e., a women’s place is the house, and showed that women can do more. There are also negatives representations...

...advantages to certain groups. INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM – INDIVIDUAL SELF-RESPECT + CULTURAL MEMBERSHIP: One reason as to why multiculturalists may agree with minority rights is that it advances individual freedom, this is supported by liberal multiculturalist Charles Taylor who saw a link between individual self-respect and culture membership. Therefore, culture is vital for minorities to live an autonomous life and hence minority rights must be safeguarded. PREVENTS OPRESSION – FAILURE OF RECOGNITION + CULTURAL IMPERIALISM: A second reason is the argument that it prevents oppression. It is possible that a state can harm their citizens by ignoring their cultural identity – a process Charles Taylor calls failure of recognition therefore, there must be minority rights to avoid cultural imperialism (domination) by the host country. REDUCES SOCIAL INJUSTICE – AFRICAN AMERICANS SOCIAL DISCRIMIBATION: Lastly, the argument that minority rights reduce social injustice is supported by multiculturalists. Such examples the underrepresentation of cultural groups. This is done through positive discrimination as evident with black Americans in 1978 with the case of University of California v Bakke where African Americans were able to enter University with lower grades. SIMMERING MELTING POT – DIFFERENT TASTES AND PERSPECTIVES: Cosmopolitan multiculturalists may argue that giving minority rights will allow for diversity and other are able to taste and have different perspectives – society...

...Freedom. A word, a belief, a hope. How many and which freedoms you obtain depend on a few key factors; Where you live, your religion, and your race. As Americans, freedom is a birthright. I’ve lived with freedom my whole life, and I don’t fully know what it means to not have freedom. With our freedom comes responsibility. Envied by many, challenged by some, and a gift some people take for granted. Everyone has different thoughts on the idea of freedom. Some people view freedom in a political sense, some talk about social freedom, and some people define it as religious freedom, but nonetheless, everyone wants to be free. Or should I say, everyone needs to have certain freedoms in order to live a quality life. Freedom is not an absolute right,...

...approaching things from a certain viewpoint -- the scientific viewpoint. You can't get rid of subjectivity because it isn't something separate from objectivity at all. This inter-connectedness of subject and object is called intentionality. This method has been used to study different emotions, psychopathologies, things like separation, loneliness, and solidarity, the artistic experience, the religious experience, silence and speech, perception and behavior, and so on. Existentialism just takes this method and asks the big question: What is it to be human? You could say that the essence of humanity -- the thing that we all share, and makes us distinct from anything else in the world -- is our lack of essence, our "no-thing-ness," our freedom. We cannot be captured by a philosophical system or a psychological theory; we cannot be reduced to physical and chemical processes; our futures cannot be predicted with social...

He feels free when he is riding on the motorbike, he is remembering while getting a taste of how it actually is to be a young person. And his day-dreaming fantasy world is gone, whenever he is riding his motorbike, like he is living in it. When he is on the motorbike, he feels nothing can stop him not even the devil himself can stop him. The only thing he is thinking about is his own freedom and the joy of the youth life. He has this hole of wanting fun in his life, which he never had the chance of filling out in his youth, and therefore he is trying to use the days he has left to remember the youth he never had and desiring it more than ever.

...why children learn. Montessori discovered that the child learns different from an adult, the child seeks an internal aim but the adult seeks external aim. Maria believed that the first years of the child is the most important one; the child is forming his personality and absorbing every thing from the environment. She called this period from 0-3 the unconscious mind. And the second period is called the conscious mind is the age from 3 - 6 years the child now is building his will and his memory. "The tiny child's absorbent mind finds all its nutriment in its surrounding especially at the beginning of life .we must there- fore, make the environment as interesting and attractive as we can." ( The Absorbent mind ). The child also needs freedom in order to develop. A prepared environment is a place that is created for a special purpose. In this to assist the full and natural development of children between ages of 3-6. The prepared environment should contain everything that is necessary to enable the child 3-6 to develop fully. To achieve this it must also make it possible for the child to function independently, to explore and discover for himself. It should also be attractive so that invites the child and every thing should be accessible to reach. Dr Maria felt that Everything was made to be as easily accessible to the children as possible to avoid hinder the development of the child. She realized that the child relied completely on the environment for the sensorial impressions...

...REFLECTION: What is freedom? Is it an absolute right? We are born to become free. Freedom is defined from different aspects, and according to different cultures, freedom varies from culture to another. Some define freedom as a natural right, the human being is born with. Everyone wants to be free and independent from others. Freedom is the right to do what one wants, live where he wants, eat what he wants, learns what he wants, and chooses the religion in which he believes, without ignoring or harming other rights. We cannot ignore the rights of people with whom we live in the society. We cannot simply do what we want and ignore others. We must take other people rights into consideration. Historically, there has been an evident proof that freedom is innate to human and that he will fights as long as he lives to restore his innate right to be a free man .The western civilization guaranteed freedom for its own people, and occupied poor nations and deprived their people from their rights, including freedom. So, these poor nations fought without rest to restore freedom and autonomy from occupation. Abduction of rights is not a respectful human action. Since God gave us freedom for free, we must do our best to maintain and keep this right. Among the most humiliating ways to punish a human, is to deprive him from freedom. When one goes to jail, his freedom is deprived, and so he is suffering, which is the point to punishment. Lacking freedom teaches the human lessons, he will...
