princedoms and monarchies were the primary form of government. In today’s societies‚ many people believe that since his work is an analysis of monarchies‚ that it no longer holds value in comparison to democracy. However‚ ‘prince’ and ‘political leader’ can be interchanged‚ despite respective differences of the current and past influence that these figures possess. Many themes discussed in The Prince are still highly relevant today‚ including characteristics of a strong leader‚ righteousness of actions

Constitution be interpreted loosely? Should it be applicable to the problems and situations that we as Americans must deal with in today’s society? The Constitution should not be loosely interpreted. It should be "strictly" interpreted. When it is "loosely" interpreted individuals rights are impeded. The Constitution was written to protect Americans rights. It

HOW IS NIGHT RELEVANT TO TODAY? Elie Wiesel’s book night tell us the story of the Holocaust that killed so many Jews and scarred the one that did survive for life. Elie Wiesel just so happens to be one of the luckier ones who actually survived being beat‚ seeing others being beat and killed‚ seeing babies being thrown in the air and used as a target practice. Children as well as women and feeble men were thrown in pits of fire‚ most of them alive‚ although some of them were dead. He even saw

Is the Bible still relevant today? Sure‚ the Bible was relevant once upon a time‚ in that long-ago era of shepherds and scribes. That story of how the Hebrew people emerged from their centuries of slavery in Egypt is a gripping account‚ but does it have any connection to my world of lightning fast e-mails and jet travel? The problems of a fish swallowing a disobedient prophet named Jonah and how to get Daniel out of a den of lions seem pretty far removed from fixing my transmission or resurrecting

1984 was written more than 60 years ago by an author named George Orwell. This book was very much like today’s society. Some people agree that 1984 is still relevant in today’s society‚ some disagree. 1984 has so many references to today’s society and relates. This book was written many years ago and was a book for analyzing the future. They have three parties‚ the inner‚ outer layer‚ and the proles. They speak in Newspeak‚ and have telescreens and Big Brother watching their every move. Winston

done by cynic writers. All this just begs the question; What does a Marriage mean to us? The scope of marriage is in itself‚ a broad one. For simplicity’s sake‚ we’d focus on newly-weds and keep Religion and Politics out of the picture. In our society‚ marriage is the structure people use to create a stable family unit. Marriage is about commitment. It is about staying in love and staying together for a lifetime despite the fact that both partners are individuals who change over time. Marriage

economic hierarchy that had enabled capitalist societies to function. While Marx’s theories‚ in many instances have been falsified and predictions invalid‚ his ideas about class struggle and conflict being a motivator for change is still relevant in contemporary society. The disparity of wealth between occupations in Australia demonstrates that class stratification is still inherent within society and the recent Qantas airline dispute is a relevant example of this.

Although Shakespeare may write with many words that are outdated or hard to understand‚ he did create countless words that we still use today. The way that we think with today is very limited because of the way our brain uses words. Shakespeare’s work may be hard to understand because of the lack of education he had and he was

Is the constitution still relevant today? Some would say that it is not and never has been. However‚ I happen to think otherwise. The constitution was written to establish our rights and freedoms as citizens. In my opinion the constitution is still relevant today. When you think of the different parts of the constitution it all makes sense. We have the amendments and our rights‚ the amendments clarify the duties of the government and branches. The bill of rights is focused on the people and their

Is equity still relevant today? Prior to the Norman conquest in 1066 ‚ different areas of England were governed by different systems of law. William the conqueror gained the English throne in 1066 and began standardizing the law. “Itinerant justices” were able to discuss the various customs of different parts of the century. The principle of ‘stare decisis’ grew up and by 1250 a ‘common law’ has been produced. Common law is the basis of our law today. It is an unwritten law that developed from
