    Political Beliefs

    Background: During the 1990’s, the abortion act was completely banned in the United States, but women were still doing it. Due to technology, back in the days the procedure of abortion was a lot more risky and unsafe than it is today. Abortion then became legal in 1973, and thanks to the increasing knowledge of technology, the procedure can run more smoothly. The amount of women giving abortion is growing day by day. Women who go through the abortion process tend to have higher health risks in life and have a harder time having kids in the future.…

    Political Ideologies

    Socialism and Communism are largely the same (the former is a political & economic system while the latter just an economic system), it can also be said tht Communism is a branch of socialism...anyway both advocate the collective ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods…in socialism many people in government administration have control over the economy while in communism its usually a single-party having authoritarian rule…(yeah it gives TOO MUCH POWER to a small group of people) In both these doctrines, everyone is promised a fair share (atleast theoretically) of goods & services…in communism people get according to their needs (leaving no difference b/w rich and poor, educated & uneducated) while in socialism its according to their deeds/efforts….however production needs to be increased drastically in order to meet everyone’s requirements which to date has not been possible.…

    In the Greek mythology, Crito, a friend and student of a great classical Greek philosopher of Socrates, attempts to convince Socrates to flee Athens from his death sentence. Crito expresses dissatisfaction with Socrates justification on why he shouldn’t flee the city-state. On the other hand, Socrates provides significant dialogues in which overturns Crito original plea. I shall argue that Socrates has provided good reasons during their discussion as to why he should accept his punishment. But Crito brought out some interesting counterarguments that make us analyzes the options that Socrates had to escape from his death punishment, and avoiding the repercussion that could be on his friends’. One of Crito points is that not fleeing Athens will have an effect upon his friends. Another point Crito mentioned is that he will betray his son by staying and it is immoral to give up your life if you can save it. But Socrates explains self-sacrifice when avoidable is wrong.…
