So this is the deal: society today frowns on giving the individual responsibility. We are governed by a set of rules that limits the ability of any individual to make a choice‚ because we believe that the individual will make the wrong choice‚ for either himself‚ others‚ or both. For example‚ take traffic rules. Rules such as stopping at stop signs and not running red lights should be entirely optional. A cop should not have jurisdiction or the responsibility to enforce such rules; they should merely

In Fahrenheit 451‚ written by Ray Bradbury‚ authority is viewed as ruthless and the individual is portrayed as innocent. This is also emphasised in two related texts‚ Whose Life Is It Anyway? By Brian Clark‚ and Shawshank Redemption‚ directed by Frank Darabont. The themes of ruthlessness and innocence are exemplified throughout all three texts‚ through the concept of the authority and the individual. In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451‚ authority is depicted as ruthless. This is shown throughout the

Their conversation had led to many different responses but one proved to be vastly interesting. Socrates states “No one wants what is bad” (78a).

I tend to see past the mask that the media puts out there. An individualist doesn’t necessarily seek separation‚ but rather seek selfness and singularity. I would also say that I’m kind of pluralist as well in the sense that I’m open to another individuals comprehension of their and others religion. I am accepting‚ and do not pass judgment. If I were to choose from the three perspectives that we’ve been discussing in class‚ I would most likely identify myself as an individualist. Individualists

the republic created by Socrates throughout the duration of the dialogue and the points that come from it are not as unnecessary or superfluous as they initially seem. The Republic is clearly a specifically worded dialogue about philosophy‚ but not necessarily only for philosophers. The seemingly excessive examples throughout the text are in fact a blueprint allowing for the general public to understand and assume Plato’s logic‚ ultimately bringing them not just to Socrates’ conclusion about justice

Bamzi Individual happiness is important. In most cases we are not sure what to do when faced with certain situations that require us to choose. In cases like these‚ we are torn between choosing what makes us happy‚ and what the right thing is‚ in the eyes of other people. Many people would say that we are selfish if we chose something that made us happy‚ over something that satisfies and makes our families who are more people happy.

Socrates lived a life of inquiry in order to achieve a fulfilled life of eudaimonia and success. I argue that the Socratic examined life is a process‚ which should be valued because it teaches one to be critical thinkers‚ and aids us in the understanding our true actions. Achieving happiness through examination involves three core components: Exhortation‚ examination‚ and living the examined life. Exhortation involves the ability to apply reason to ideas and actions independent of external pressures

values of the individuals of society. Hobbes believes that the only way to ensure order in society is for the covenant to be established‚ and only through the covenant can there be order. The covenant for Hobbes is justice and order‚ since it was a transfer of rights that ended the constant war between individuals‚ by having them transfer some of their rights in return for security of one’s life. The transfer of rights included things like having a power dictate the laws‚ and the individual has no say
