A Short Summary: Two Concepts Of Liberty

The third argument King has in favour of nonviolent resistance is in how it creates a stage for oppressed groups to speak their truths. King views nonviolent resistance as the only morally sound method in addressing these issues. When reading this, I found it to be slightly unclear, however, I have concluded that it is because hate breeds hate, which is why a different approach is needed being nonviolent resistance. This would prove to be a powerful movement, but frustrating as one must expect to face various forms of violence but stay in a state of peace within oneself. In intentionally placing oneself in violent scenarios and not having to endure extreme mistreatment in attempt to address another.

Fortunately our society is a world of free thought, progressivism, and freedom. With that being said, Aldous Huxley’s fears of conditioning and conformity do not root back into the lack of individuality in our civilization that he foresaw. Huxley feared that our society would be filled with brain-washed and thoughtless beings who could never think for themselves. Today that is not the case. However, Huxley had a good reason to fear as his dystopian novel Brave New World, showed off depictions of what could happen if the world was as conditioned in a way that was written.

A sentiment Thoreau so gladly fights for in his avocation for the civil disobedience of the unjust state

Stop Political passivity, but know what you stand for when you actively oppose the authority. THOREAU True prestige is in independent thought as we live in a constantly imperfect world Not to say “down with conformity” for uniquenesses sake, as this would simply be an emerging perspective of circular logic, both conformity and individuality are neither inherently good or bad, but thinking critically on a deeper level, past the surface is an essential part of developing as an individual. Why do we have an attachment to free will and individuality? -useful in

The theory of American Exceptionalism is meant to show that although America is similar to other countries in many ways, it has distinct qualities that establish its own identity and portrays it as a unique nation founded on personal liberty. Bender’s third chapter revolves around the era of the Civil War, in which he views the war as having inspired a feeling of “national belonging.” This supports American philosopher Orestes Brownston’s ideas, which show that “the struggle for national unity and integrity” allowed the nation to gain “a distinct recognition of itself.” Bender argues in this chapter what nineteenth-century political thinkers thought, which is that “Without unity, there was no nation; without a nation, there was no liberty.”

Kant’s moral philosophy stands on the notion of good will, an intrinsic good which is perceived to be so without qualification, independent of any external factors. Thus, he dismisses other values that could be taken as good in themselves, such as happiness, honesty, courage, trust etc. as they have worth only under specific conditions, whereas in others they could be transposed into bad acts. For example, trust is necessary for one to be able to manipulate others, one must have courage to be able to

The author uses this objection as an example to prove that Descartes’s idea of the mind and body existing without each because he imagines It, is wrong. Visualizing is not a very dependable way of proving something

Martin Luther King Jr. writes, "I can urge them to disobey segregation ordinances because they are morally wrong." When King writes "they are morally wrong," he is contending that the segregation ordinances are in opposition to eternal and natural law. In fact, natural and eternal law being a 'higher law' is the basis of King's philosophy of 'non-violent civil disobedience.' King views the segregation laws, a human law, to be in disagreement with natural and eternal law; therefore, he believes that these laws should not be followed. King writes, "Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.

Which is exactly what I think the CIA program lacked. I mean yes in the beginning I can see where it would sound like a good idea to enhance a program to obtain more accurate results, especially in matters of public safety, but when you already have compared results from prior interrogations, to results from current investigations from individuals exposed to the “enhance techniques” and see no positive outcomes and still choose to do it, that is unethical. To torture human beings and try to avoid detection by justice and government officials, obviously points out that you are aware that what you are doing is wrong, and that is unethical. One of the ethical system that has come to mind is “Ethical Formalism.” This ethical system is “concerned solely with the inherent nature of the act” (Pollock, 33).

It is also wrong because it may beat the man physically down, but it won’t change how he understands. The last way is through nonviolent resistance. Nonviolent resistance brings the best of acquiescence and of violence. It grabs the nonviolent aspect of acquiescence, but not the conforming. It then grabs the objecting of oppression, but not the destruction.

Per Mackie’s logic, it does not make sense that such a being who is wholly good would not eliminate evil. Based off this and the fact that evil still exists, Mackie concludes that God does not exist. However, Mackie’s proposition does have a few slight

Allowing freedom of speech, including hateful speech, shows how a country is politically stable with strong social stability. However, ruling that it is OK to ban hate speech will open the door to banning other speech as well. This is not a power we can trust the government with. For example, if an uneducated man uses crude language to shows his hate about Mexican immigration or his Christian disapproval of gays should not be

(p 363) In response, he found the answer to be no, as he saw these advances as corrupting man’s goodness and human morals. He has doubts about the powers of science to be a benefit to one 's morals. Also, the diffusion of knowledge will not erase superstition. It is our conscience playing the same role that our instinct plays for our morals.
