I think that the idea that he does not deserve his reputation is solely for argument, because some people love the feeling of making other people angry. So Alexander made some mistakes and maybe he killed people, just because he had the authority, but no one is perfect and you can’t argue that he does not deserve this title because he made these mistakes. Every human person has made mistakes because no one human has any faults in their history. If you look at other great leaders, they all had a weakness and eventually led to their downfall, but just because they had weaknesses does not mean that they should not be honored for their accomplishments. I think that ‘defaming’ Alexander the Great does not prove the ‘no’ side in any way, because he did many things to help his empire and even though he was the cause of many deaths to the native people of their homelands, he did what he thought was best for his people.

In this paragraph i'm going to talk about how Lance Armstrong impacted the American Society socially. In 2010 the United States Anti-doping Agency (USADA) started an investigation against Lance, which he constantly denied. After many months of investigation, Armstrong announced on August 23, 2012 that he would end his fight against these charges. But yet he still insisted that he was innocent of all doping violations. Immediately after the USADA announced that they would strip armstrong of his seven tour de france and the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games and was banned from cycling for life.
Ray allegedly punched his fiancé at the time that resulted her to be unconscious. Ray was only suspended for a few months after the incident happened, but a Celebrity news website, “TMZ”, released a more in-depth video of the incident. The incident then became an even more prominent and controversial case. This led to an NFL policy change, regarding how it handles domestic violence cases among their players. Rice's contract was terminated by the Ravens on September 8, 2014 following the release of an additional video of the incident.
This text was extremely interesting and raised very important questions about Australia’s legal system by pointing out unfortunate faults. Sheehan has succeeded in bringing this issue to the public and displaying the unjust actions of the brothers and their persuasion of punishment. It leaves me angry and disappointed with our system and their inability to protect our own, but life is unjust it is unfair and hopefully we make it
Baca later states, while being in jail, “All the fights I’d won to prove I was a man didn’t matter; nothing mattered expect what I was going to do now. The longer I postponed the inevitable showdown, the more it looked like I was afraid and the stronger it made him.” (Page #) When Baca says him he is referring to the black man who comes off as threat to him so something has to be done before the worse comes to him. Being put in this predicament he has to prove he’s a man so he can feel accepted from the society in jail. Along with masculinity, Baca has a hard time dealing with abandonment. As a
September 11, 2001 was one of the most horrific and historic events of all time. It has made the American citizens stereotype Muslims and those Arabs who appear to be Muslims in America. Those innocent Arabs are being “punished” because of the terrorist groups that are against America and what we stand for.

Are people born good or bad? Michael Caballero Although Hobbes was right about nature of people that is evil he was wrong about government having absolute power, in the other hand Locke was right about power corrupts the people but wrong about people being born with a clean slate. For example Adolf Hitler, he was the worst because he killed a lot of innocent Jews. Hobbes thought that the world was evil because he lived during a war and saw stuff that nobody would want to see. Ayatollah Khomeini one of the 20th century's most ruthless leaders.
While this is a good philosophy I took it to another level, stopped planning for my future, and got into drugs other bad behavior. Then a little over a year ago I got into a really bad wreck, broke two ribs and should have been hurt much worse. This started a change in my thinking, and then last January I got arrested and faced serious trouble. My family did me the greatest thing ever for me and refused to bail me out. After sitting in jail for over a month, my wife still standing beside me something finally changed.
