Social Responsibility In America

“The basic rights that belong to every person” describes Human Rights. Examples such as the Civil Rights movement, World War II, and even North Korea, show that human right cannot be actualized for every person. A law set in place to protect these rights does not mean that everyone will follow it. Human Rights can only be actualized if everyone respects them and follows

In discussion of country’s ideal, a controversial issue has been if kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful or not. On the one hand, many argue that they are expressing their first amendment rights. On the other hand, many people believe it’s disrespecting our nation 's ideals and the people who fight for our freedom. My own view is that it is not disrespecting the country’s ideals if the country is not living up to the ideals itself. While people believe kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespecting the country 's ideals, I believe kneeling during the National Anthem is not disrespectful.

XIV, § 1) It does not stand by America’s past actions and it won’t solve the immigration problem. When children granted birthright citizenship grow up, they will benefit the American economy and its society by becoming influential citizens and taxpayers. While the opposition may argue that we are currently not using the amendment for its true intentions, it’s clear that the way we are currently applying it to modern day is a positive choice. A

But while Equality's outlooks aren't necessarily bad, there still needs to be balance. If everyone thought only about themselves, society would crumble. People have to rely on each other to an extent, and total selfishness would prevent this. That being said, someone can have selfish moments while still being a good person and caring for others. There doesn't have to be polar opposites when it comes to selfishness versus selflessness.

However, the burdens of responsibility can lead individuals to attempt to isolate oneself from those they love, yet it is impossible to completely remove oneself from all forms of emotional attachment. Rather, the individual may subconsciously internalize the welfare and hardships faced by others over the well-being of oneself and this can cause a forced deprivation of help and love due to the obligation that one feels to be owed in their responsibility. It is human nature to feel guilt and burdened by the consequences of love and responsibility, but although burdensome, responsibility is crucial in illustrating the inherent empathy and fragility present in all

The Constitution also abolishes slavery so that no one is taken advantage of or forced to do involuntary labor. Equality is possible in the United States because everyone has rights that cannot be taken away from them. The rights are not based on race, skin color, or what one worships. However, some people do not agree with this and are convinced that the Amendments do not allow for equality. Based on the Constitution, it is possible for individuals in society to achieve equality because the first, fourth, thirteenth,and fifteenth Amendments show that they give rights to everyone in the United States.

All sociologists believe that this statement is true but they have different views on how societies are structured. The consensus theory is the approach adopted by Functionalists. Functionalists view education as a positive aspect. They believe that education is very beneficial and important for the affiliation of society.

Mill points out exceptions to his principle and outlines children, mentally handicapped people and individuals whose decisions are compromised by ignorance, deception, duress who require paternalism and need protection from elders. For everyone else, Mill believes that they should be able to live their lives according to their wishes as long as they do not bring harm to others. Mill passionately defends the idea of individual freedom and believes that a person should be able to make his own mistakes and learn from them rather than be dictated by rules enforced by society. Mill fundamentally believes that living a life that is guided by the harm principle contributes to individual happiness. Mill believes that the harm principle

364-365). Raz also draws critique against Rawls’ choice of words, because it is unclear whether Rawls is advocating that civil disobedience means having the right to do something, compared to doing the right thing (Raz, p. 160). One often legally has the right to do something, but that does not mean it is the just thing to do. This interpretation suggests that although civil disobedience can be justified, society does not have a right to it. In contrary, sometimes in order to do justice, a person will not have the legal right to do something necessary.

After these contracts are established, however, then society becomes possible, and people can be expected to keep their promises, cooperate with one another, and so on. I believe that thanks to the social contract we created justice and established what is moral and immoral for the whole society and not only on what we think could be moral or immoral. This topic may be controversial for some people because they will probably think that even though the social contract was created to be equal for all people there are some things until today that does not apply for all. But for me that is not a strong reason to do not believe in the Social contract I strongly believe in this theory because this is what makes a civil society with justice and morality. A philosopher Stuart Rachels suggests that, “ morality is the set of rules governing behavior that rational people accept, on the condition that others accept them too”.

If the government tried to put the interests of citizens before their own, and not allow the citizens to get punish for what rights are obligated for them then they will see by putting the people first will benefit America as a whole. In my opinion I feel that the constitution is a petty factor for determining the democracy of a government and the rights of the people in that

Therefore it is because of that that I support the colonies decision to be independent. Some people may be against the colonies independence because in order to be independent a war has to occur which means lives would be lost. Yet, I believe that either way lives are in danger of being lost whether the colonies seek independence or not because the colonies lack of protection will lead to lives lost. Therefore it is important for the colonies to seek independence.

In my opinion “greed” has a big part in this process. Greed is the overwhelming desire to obtain something you don’t really need, but been taught to feel that you do. Living a healthy life with sufficient resources to provide for yourself and your family shouldn’t be considered a privilege; every human being on this planet should automatically be afforded that

One of the strong strongest human needs is that of love and belonging. (Maslow, 1943) However if you look at what is destroying our culture it is the misguided direction that people are seeking to meet their needs. If we were to strive for a good society, we would start the transformation. “A good society, for instance, fosters trust among its members not solely or even primarily to enhance their trust in the government or to reduce burdens on the general public (for example, the problem of litigiousness), but rather to foster what is considered a bettersociety.”

This means that leaders have the power to set a positive environment for the citizens of America. Leaders can create a positive environment by showing that they care, giving recognition to the people who deserves it, putting their time and effort into different matters, and making sacrifices. The benefits of leaders setting a positive environment for the citizens is that it makes them (the citizens) want to work harder towards a goal, it creates a lasting loyalty between the leaders and the citizens, it would make it easy for the citizens to follow the leaders, helps build important relationships, and lastly it can leave a lasting impact on the leaders for the better. Simon Sinek also said that “people need other people to help them feel safe and valued”. From the statement one can conclude that it is a leaders’ job to help people, in this case the citizens of America, feel safe and valued.
