Kietrich Griffin September 4, 2012 Period 4 The average man is not willing to take total responsibility for himself because being free means that you are no longer under control and no longer have anyone else to help keep your life within a safe standard of living. Therefore, being free is something that our societies does not want because that would mean we would have to be responsible and most people today in this society have no concept of what being responsible truly is. Also, the society is afraid of being free due to the fact that to be free we would need to be free from the obligations of a job, a family, ect... and a job is what will help pay for their bills and the house that they live under, which brings safety. The quote is basically stating that, the average man would rather have the restriction of laws and be safe then to allow people to do whatever they wish. Therefore, Mencken’s observation does indeed apply to contemporary society because the majority of the society agree that the laws are here to keep us safe, not to restrict us and the reason for that is due to the reason that people feel that without laws, which would be true freedom, many would do things that would be illegal and deadly in our everyday life such as murder or robbery.
Overall I believe that the economy for pre-Conquest England as well- governed to an extent as the King did have large control, he did control this well, but he may have been seen as too powerful where the government is concerned. However it wasn't well developed so therefore in my opinion it wasn't very prosperous. The political aspect of pre-conquest England was fairly good due to the fact that Edwards court
If you are not a community board “leader” or someone in a position like himself or those who are younger than he is, he has trouble hearing other people’s perspective of things and struggles with taking people seriously. I personally feel that even though he has some characteristics of being a leader he is not a leader. I don’t consider him as being a leader because he does not have the inclusiveness aspect down. I am not saying that he can never be a “good” leader because I believe anyone has the potential in becoming a leader if they want to be or
The positive‘s to individual branding were: it would represent each individual unique culture and not be a cookie cutter version of the other hotels. Also no additional costs would be required with this branding style. However a con would be inconsistence brand performance worldwide. Corporate branding produces a higher customer lifetime value , would create consistence service and create higher customer loyalty. A con to the corporate approach would be increased market cost, guest’s don’t feel as special and possibly could have a negative impact on their reputation.
Company mainly focused on maximizing the shareholder value by the CEO and other management’s managerial philosophy. Currently, Hill Country uses a risk adverse strategy to choose their business or project. Hill Country’s industry is high competitive but it kept going well with cost efficiency and quick reaction to customer requirements. From these reasons, Hill Country has few risks. However, analyst and experts present that Hill Country’s excess liquidity with zero debt is going to lose benefit and fail to maximize the shareholder value.
You say that "people aren't trust worthy" and use that as an excuse for your undeniable fear. Your fear of being rejected and your fear of not being accepted, and then you go head and attempt to call yourself a man. But tell me , what is manly about acting like something that your not? What is manly about putting on a front just because your afraid. A man attacks his problems with an abundance of force BECAUSE he is scared...he does not run away from them...he does not try to cover them up and he does not try to pretend like they arent
Not that life is bad, but that the physical pleasures and physical reality are less than divine. The best conditions include those that are free from distraction. While the ascetic priest is essentially denying life, he is actually preserving the life that he cherishes so much. The ascetic priest desires power and believes that “this life is an illusion”. Nietzsche says, in his second essay, the primary objection to ascetic ideals is that ascetic priests must deny the value of this life; he portrays it as a link to the next life, rather than appreciating life as an end in itself.
The first one may have all the materialistic things we need in life to feel content, but money does bring some problems along. A poor man doesn’t have to worry if his friend or spouse really likes him or if they’re just with him out of interest, the rich ones sometimes do. The entertainment industry has some nice examples of how people who seem to have everything in life to be happy, such as beauty, money and success,
Another possible advantage of privatisation is an increase in competition as the privatisation of state owned monopolies usually occurs at the same time as deregulation of the industry. The increase in competition can be the greatest incentive to improvements in efficiency. For example, there is now more competition in the telecom industry and suppliers are now investing in fibre-optic technology and improving the infrastructure via capital investment. However, privatisation doesn’t necessarily increase the level of competition; it depends on the market structure. For example there is currently no competition in tap water, however this is a widely debated area and we could see a change to this soon and
Clifford’s “The Ethics of Belief” Clifford does not agree with holding “beliefs on the basis of insufficient evidence.” He means by “the ethics of belief” that when people blindly believe something, with no evidence for this belief, they would not become “honourable men” simply because their belief ends up being right. “They would not be innocent, they would only be not found out.” Meaning, when one acquires a belief, with no right to believing it to be true, no matter the outcome he is in the wrong. He describes his argument that however convinced you are of the truth of your convictions, you are not to make public criticisms of another man’s case, without first examining both sides of evidence, with the same “patience and care.” One example he describes is when a shipowner is about to send to sea on a ship that is apparently incapable and unseaworthy. He decides to sail the ship, despite the fact that it was in need for repairs and was very old. While the shipowner had many doubts about taking the ship, he chose to anyways, justifying himself with the thoughts that “she (the ship) had gone safely through so many voyages and weathered so many storms that is was idle to suppose she would not come safely home from this trip also.” Surly he was guilty for the death of those on the ship, even though he had made himself believe that it was okay to send the ship to sail, disregarding his doubts.
