'Created Equal' By Milton And Rose Friedman

What if everyone was finally equal in every which way; it sounds like heaven, right? Well as Barry Goldwater once said, “Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.” In the texts, The Giver and “Harrison Bergeron” equality is greatly misunderstood. The community in The Giver restricted color, music, feelings and more to keep anyone from being themselves, or different. The Community in “Harrison Bergeron” forced people to wear “Handicaps” to make everyone completely equal. Handicaps are restrictions, for example, weights if your strong, or a mask if you are pretty.

He tried to do the best he could with what God gave him. He should get a nice raise for trying so hard.”  This influences the story because it seems that because they are so equal, even if they just only try they still get credit for it. A main similarity is that people who are astute wear (0:0) handicaps and those who were idiotic didnt have to wear handicaps. This impacts the story because it shows you how different 2081 is compared to 2017 people are now expected to be equal and no one can be who they want to be, if they express themselves without following the rules they are required to have handicaps on or if they’re naturally smart, and pretty they threaten the rule of being “equal.” A other similarity is that he choose a ballerina to dance with him in the movie and the story ( 13:52) this is important to the story because they are trying to show everyone that a life without handicaps can express their true self and without performance with the ballerina they wouldnt be able to give that example to the

The united states has forever talked about and tried for a equal perfect society but in the story “Harrison Bergeron” it shows us that that is impossible. Nobody is equal. No one is the same we all have different specialties and different weaknesses. So the effort for making a equal society is impractical. It is impossible for an equal society.

In our modern society, each individuals have their own definition of happiness. Aristotle said “Happiness is a state of activity.”, and the Bible states that true happiness can only be found in relationship with God. On the contrary, in the novel Brave New World, the controllers of the World State decide what happiness is, and condition the citizens into believing that perspective. However, this lead into sacrificing many aspects which we feel beauty and value, such as love, liberalism, passion. This resulted in changing the society in Brave New World different from our society.

“The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal.” Not by equal in freedom and religon, but equal by nobody was smarter than anyone else. No one was better looking than anybody else. Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. teaches us that equality is everyone with the rights of freedom, not by person because God made everyone different according to Hazel and society will fall apart from “equality”. While some may argue that the theme of Harrison Bergeron is Harrison Bergeron is standing against the equality. So equality is not everyone being exactly the same, but by being equal in their individual freedom.

In the text, The Ethical Life, by Russ Shafer-Landau, it questions Jonathan Bennett’s morality and sympathy and how the two of them can come into conflict. Morality and sympathy are connected, but still very different. Throughout this chapter, Jonathan Bennett outlines many important points and factors that go into these connections and how they can overlap and conflict. Jonathan Bennett says morality can be “bad1.” This type of morality is one that Bennett strongly disagrees with, no so much that one’s morality is actually proven to be bad or even untrue. Sympathy is different than morality in a myriad of ways.

Tzu uses figurative words as a main form of procedure to back up his arguments. He argues that there is no unique way to live a perfect life other than to do what is right universally and there is no large amount of blessing beside breaking yourself free from bad luck. Tzu also argues that, every human being is being born different, some are fortunate and other are less

However, I cannot completely agree with either point of view concerning God’s power. According to Hick’s theory God is, was, and always will be all powerful, but the Process-Relational Theory suggests that God though a very powerful being, He is not all powerful. Both suggest that evil exists either because of God’s awesome power or due to the lack of that power. As a Christian it is easy to agree with John Hick’s arguments that God is all knowing and all good but can the belief that God is all powerful hold its own in a world full of evil. If he is all good why would he not use his bounty of power to rid the world of evil?

The Natural Rights of a Human “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This quote from the Declaration of Indepence presents the idea that all humans are given three natural rights: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. However, the hypocrisy of the Declaration was that during the original drafting of the Declaration, slaves, native americans and other people of color were excluded from receiving their unalienable rights. As a result, many slave owners continuously antagonized slaves depriving them of their needs. Slavery has been abolished for more

Imagine what they had to go through without a job or a low paying job. People might say that it is not true because people do have their human rights. We do have our Amendments. According to the “I Have A Dream Speech,” “This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”(King para.4) Meaning that we all have the same rights to pursue our dreams. The rights of life and liberty.

Based on the passage deciphered, I believe the Puritans perceived their actions in the New World would be gratifying and righteous in the God’s sight. According to the Puritans religion you should live in unity, peace, and in love with all others, and anyone that no longer believe or strayed away form their beliefs would be exiled. Thereof no longer being just in the eyes of God. In my opinion the puritans actions were contrary to their own beliefs. It was quite selfish and unthoughtful in my eyes.

In this PBAT essay I am going to prove that the United States government did not make good promises to the Native Americans. They did not stay true to their principle of natural rights which is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The declaration of independence states some of these principles which are, “all men are created equal”, “endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These principles were supposed to be beneficial for the people by the time they are born, and even those who aren’t citizens of the United States which could never be taken away as long as they live. Historically the United States government has not stayed true to their promises

All men are created equal, but the colored were not given the equal rights to vote nor were they treated equally at that time. An unjust law is no law at all. Thus, why should the colored obey laws that were unjust? They had not only a legal and a moral responsibility to obey just laws, but a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. Undocumented immigrants today are carrying the torch of King.

In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson wrote “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men a created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuits of Happiness” (Jefferson). Everyone has the same rights as others, but the problem in this century is the lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender community (LGBT) does not have the equal rights as “straight” citizens do. Reasons why they may not have these equal rights is because of the government may be embarrassed to give these people their rights to be equal cause the government will lose the respect and strength of the other countries and theirs. Along with most the world’s population believes

The true definition of a “reading disorder” was not defined properly. This make it harder for readers to understand Ferreday due to the lack of understanding of what a “reading disorder” is in context of her argument. She supports her statements by using different sources as supporting evidence. The random transition between the different sources to support her argument aids in creating confusion for readers as well as lack of drive to read this literary work to completion. The structure of the article determines the easiness of comprehension of the main
