...Compare and Contrast the Philosophies of John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Karl Marx In the idea of human nature; origin of state, the nature of government, the rights of regulation can be drawn as the reflection of insightful philosophies of John Locke, Thomas Hobbes and Karl Marx. By understanding this within the context of human nature, we can see their ideas play to how they perceive a modern philosophy. Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto illustrates the desire to build "a society without economic classes". John Locke's Political Theory claims the establishment of natural rights which will assist protest against unjust rulers. Thomas Hobbes's most famous publication, the "Leviathan" defines a government which unifies the collective will of many individual and unites them under the authority of sovereign power. Although the three philosophers desire the same result through their theories, its practices and use have indicated that there are difference and similarities both present. All are saying that there should be absolute government, but their areas of specialization are different. Karl Marx and Thomas Hobbes both agreed on the theory of collectivism over individualism. Marx is more quantitative and calculative in his reasoning, while Hobbes's theories are based on natural laws. The contradiction between Marx's and Hobbes's concepts of material wealth is that "Modern society view men to compete with each other for material goods and that is just. Humans do not live in isolation...

...tail) making up sales with higher volume storage. Q2. What precise reasons do the authors' offer for video CD sales to be distributed according to power law? Which of those reasons can be argued to arise from ecommerce? Reasons authors give to offer video CD sales to be distributed according to power law is that many brick and mortar stores simply do not have enough shelf space to display their titles. Online stores such as “Amazon.com” do not need to worry about shelf space due to the fact that they store their titles in large warehouses. The reason of long tail effect, e-commerce sites can afford to be under dogs and super stars gaining much of the bulk of sales. Q3.

...A. No Angel Everybody knows how hard it is to loose somebody you love, and many experience grief and it is not a fun thing. Everyone react differently with his’ or her’s sorrows. It can be a very painful experience to loose someone you love and someone cannot handle to be alone. Many want to get rid of the pain, and try to forget it all, and some want to hold on to the memories about their lost ones, because they are afraid to be alone. The loneliness even makes some people see things that don’t exit like ghost and dead people. Things like this are presented in this story, “No Angel” written by Bernie McGill. The story ”No Angel” is written in narrative, first person. Everything that happens, we see through the main characters eyes. Her name is Annie. About the composition in the story, it is jumping in the time. There are a lot of flashbacks and even flash forwards too. The first flashback, the main character meets her dad for the first time after his death. She is in the bathroom when he appears, and he is small talking with her. The daughter knows everything about her father, and we know that by the detailed and specified description of the dead father. That tells us that she was very close to him. After this we immediately jump over to another flashback, where he appears on a train on it’s way to Belfast. In this flashback we get to know the main characters family a little better. This scene indicates how important the jumping in time and the flashbacks is, because...

...a sonnet, which was inspired by William Shakespeare. The poet uses a specific rhyme scheme to make the poem more interesting and intriguing. Anaphora is heavily used as well. Browning repeats “I love thee” in eight lines. This poem has religious aspect, as well as love. Browning writes this poem for her husband (who was not her husband at the time). She wants to express her love for him, but she can’t. Her love is so immense; it’s indescribable. “A Man’s Requirements” Like many of Elizabeth Browning’s poems, “A Man’s Requirements” is about love. The title can be interpreted two different ways, and both of those ways are correct. While it does mean what a man requires of a woman, it also means what is required of a man by a woman. This poem is in the male perspective, which is ironic, because a woman wrote it. AB rhyme is used and the poem is in the form of a quatrain. “A Child’s Thought of God” Based on the title, “A Child’s Thought of God”, readers anticipate that the poem will be highly religious. It is. It describes what the speaker thought of God when he was a child. He wonders why we cannot see God, but even though it is unknown, he still has faith. The child holds God up on the highest pedestal. Browning uses rhyme scheme in this poem. “A Thought for a Lonely Death-Bed” This poem was written for a friend of Mrs. Browning, E.C. Like most of Elizabeth Browning’s poems, it has a distinct rhyme scheme. The speaker is facing death and having to accept it. If it...

...break-up. The main character is bisexual; his first love was a boy, Jacob, and at that time he was a teenager, which is shown in the text, when he says: “And our love was going to last forever, which at our age meant six months.” When we are teenagers, our body is filled with hormones. We fall in love easily and often, and just as quickly as we fall in love, we fall out of it again. When the main character is with a guy named Will, they go on a holiday, they went through security and the main character beeps, he shows the security people his heart and is waved on, but Will doesn’t beep. It makes the main character sick that he doesn’t have a metal heart and his gut is filled with blood and flesh. The short story’s title is “The Rental Heart”. Short story’s titles have often not much to do with the rest of the text and often it is a bit hidden in the text, but in this case it is very easy to see why the author called it that: it’s about a guy who gets his heart broken a lot of times, and therefore rent a new one every time. The story sounds like something that could happen in our world, except for the part where they crack their chests open and show their hearts, and if they get heartbroken they just buy a new one, and that the main character believes that it is disgusting that Will doesn’t have a rental heart. It’s...
