E. O Wilson Analysis

245 Words1 Page

In the E.O Wilson article, he states that “no single set of moral standards can be applied to all human populations, let alone all sex-age classes within each population,” which I agree that not all morals can be applied to everyone. People who live in the north would not behave the same as those who live in the south, for example, based off of morality. Wilson makes good claims about how the evolution of humans and the way they behave is all based on the hypothalamus and limbic system in our brains. I believe biologist studying morality is better than philosophers, because of their studies into the human brain. A biologist can study the reasons why we choose the decisions we make based off of our ecosystem, and even our genetics. They can

  • United Sates Contribution To Thomas Wilson

    222 Words  | 1 Pages

    While in Paris after the Great War, Wilson claimed that the United Sates’ involvement was “…not merely to win a war, but to win a cause…to lead the world on the way of liberty” (Foner 748-749). This means when Wilson approached Congress asking to declare war in the name of democracy, he wasn’t only asking to defend the freedoms of the United States—he was asking to fight to bring democracy to the rest of the world, which colonial peoples understood. With Wilson’s focus on the “equality of nations” and “self-determination”, his ideas spread around the globe. With the belief that countries should be able to control itself in mind, minorities became motivated to begin the fight for their freedoms and independence. From the rubble of the Austro-Hungarian

When Wilson arrived in Canada, it was lucky and easy for him to find a job because there was a sign about “English Need not Apply” (p.12) and he is a Scottish. However, the jobs he could acquire were such as construction of bridge and gardener with low wage and lots of painstaking. The surplus could barely feed him after he sent the money back to his family. Although life was harsh in an unknown area, “he felt disconnected from the old world [Scotland] and everyone [his family, his friends and the scandal] in it” (p.18).

    I am inspired by the work of Woodrow Wilson, our 28th President. Although he was a man of his time and thus in his leadership showed flashes of racism and sexism, I believe that Wilson was a man of his country and of ideals. His tour to promote the League of Nations after World War One stands out to me as an act of patriotism and moral conviction. Toward the end of World War I, it seemed apparent that the Allied Powers would triumph. President Wilson was allotted the lofty responsibility of negotiating an end to the conflict with the enemy Central Powers.

When Germany was declaring war on everyone around them such as Russia, France, and then sinking ships such as American passenger ships and American cargo ships and attempting to make an alliance with Mexico and promising the US to Mexico got the attention of President Wilson. He was all for staying out of the wars among the European countries but could no longer stand idly by watching our people and good being destroyed and not to mention Germany taking a bold move to stop all entries to and from the western borders of Great Britain and Ireland. I believe he was justified as we had interests in that part of the world that would
