Thus leaving American’s to become conspirious about the truths of war and ethics in the Federal Government. In my opinion the arguments made against the government’s way they misled the public were true and interesting. The government having not told Tillman’s family the truth up front I believe was a cowardly thing to do. The way the Bush administration portrayed him out to be a hero, in which I believe he was, he shouldn’t have been made out to be more heroic than any one of his fellow soldiers. Just because Tillman was a NFL football player shouldn’t have given him any more starlight than other soldier who also gave up their lives to fight for this country.
*d. More than two thirds of athletes think that winning is more important than being considered a good sport. Title: Levels of Moral Reasoning 3. Football players who hold the opposing players illegally to gain an advantage rationalize their actions by explaining that everyone does it and try not to let the officials see it. According to Kohlberg’s levels of moral reasoning, these players are operating at the level of a. preconventional—punishment and obedience *b. conventional—good boy or girl c. conventional—law and order d. postconventional—social contract Title: Levels of Moral Reasoning 4. Players and spectators who engage in heckling and taunting opposing players are operating at the a. preconventional level *b. conventional level c. postconventional level d. pleasure or pain level Title: Functional Theorist Approach to Sporting Behavior 5.
A lot of the teams like the system because sometimes if they didn't have a very good chance of winning the actually National Championship title. Like one athletic director said “'qualifying status was a priority for our football program'”(Whitt, p.1) because that was the goal for every team so they thought they had a chance in being chosen to play in the game even if it was pure luck. Also one of the biggest arguments that the against used is that they need to protect the bowl games. One guy said that '”a playoff system would destroy the traditional pageantry of the bowl games”'( Herald, p. 1) that it will ruin all that the bowl games stand for that they cant put the playoffs around the bowl games. Football is its own sport in many was one being its unique championship.
His views fell between those of Clemenceau and those of Wilson. He was under huge pressure from the public to punish Germany. Yet at the same time he believed he should not punish Germany too harshly. He saw this action as disastrous for future peace, for Germany would seek revenge in the near future if the treaty was too harsh. “We want a peace which will be just, but not vindictive.
Progressives, like Wilson, sought to protect the interests of the people and they feared that war would destroy everything that they had accomplished over the years to improve the American quality of life. . The War was seen as imperialistic and imperialism led to corruption. In addition to the fear of Europe’s’ encroaching imperialism, the progressives were afraid of what would happen to the reforms and the movement were the U.S. to declare war (Wilson, 13). War destroyed the family and the family was the center of society and government in the progressive
So since it has been discovered all we have heard about is that the superstar Patriot quarterback is being accused of being dishonest for using deflated footballs because they are easier to grip and catch in order to win their way to the super bowl. In the article Mike Downey talks about this as well as questioning what about the former New England past catcher who has been charged with cold blooded murder and is about to stand trial for it and let’s not forget about the things that the football team members that have done that are so much worse than this possible infraction. Are we to praise these men for getting to the super bowl or scorn them for getting here by cheating their way to the almighty achievement? The author Mike Downey continues to talk about the amounts of money that several teams and members of teams have been fined over the years for the behaviors that have been deemed unacceptable ranging from 20,000 upwards to 500,000 but that never seems cease the behaviors they just seem to continue on with the hopes of not getting caught. In the end he proclaims why they can’t just play football.
Almost everyone seeks power. When a man with riches beyond belief and an opportunity to be King declines it to be a villager this tells a great deal about his character. In Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, Brutus is a modest man who wants the best for Rome without credit or attention. Brutus is modest; he wants to be a regular Roman and do what is greatest for Rome without being credited. Shakespeare states, “Till then, noble friend, chew upon this; Brutus had rather be a villager than to repute himself a son of Rome…” (I.ii.171-173).
It also stressed the political role of the independent landowner and warned against the tendency of political power to encroach upon liberty. A republic demanded a virtuous citizenry and thus a high moral code to ensure continued freedom. The founders thought that luxury, factionalism, and other vices were ever-present dangers, seeds of destruction that lurked in the souls of their fellow citizens and within themselves. (1) Additionally, a man's investment in luxuries signaled to his fellow Americans that he might support the ideas of aristocracy and monarchy instead of republicanism. Therefore republicanism called for thriftiness, simplicity and plainness in all things, be it fashion or food.
It is used to manipulate information to influence public opinion, through emotional appeals and demise of the enemy, to create hatred between countries. It promoted patriotism and nationalism within a country. Britain did not have a policy of national service; this was standard in countries such as France and Germany. The whole point of propaganda was to get more and more people to sign up for the war, this was important because of all the casualties and the hardship suffered on the home front. The government did this by displaying posters stating ‘your country
Orwell has depicted that, in a state where humanly love is not supported, and people are under heavy oppression, that the concept of love deviate from it's traditional meaning and turn in to something else. In 1984, this love has been replaced by a love for the Big Brother, a love similar to a love against a godly figure, where people are doing their best to keep up with his expectations and avoiding doing anything that may be seen as a “sin”. In creating this love, Orwell has been heavily inspired by the fascist dictators of the time, and has tried to make the citizens of Ocenia similar to the citizens of the people in those dictator regimes. This love in comparison to love that has been used by romantic authors such as Shakespear, is greatly remote, since the societies that they take place within are very different. The love that is existent in Orwell's 1984 would be seen as obedience to a king like figure, and love
