Even though advocates claim that the Patriot Act helps to protect the national security, the Patriot Act is unjust. In the writing “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr., he discusses the just laws and unjust laws. “Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust” (par. 14).
Antigone believed that the power of the gods was greater than the power of any king. Antigone shows, thru civil disobedience, that breaking some of
 societies laws is both a right and responsibility. This ideal was also exhibited by some German youth in World War II that organized the passive resistance movement, The White Rose. The White Rose was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet campaign that called for active opposition to Adolf Hitler.
Why God Allows Evil I. Introduction: An approach to explain why an all-good God tolerates the existence of evils. A. Theodicy: A vindication of God’s goodness and justice in the face of the existence of evil. This is the basis Swinburne uses in justifying his reasoning on the possible co-existence of both God and Evil. B. Swinburne claims that if there is a God, the occurrence of evils is to be expected.
Hitler instead blamed many others, mainly the Wemiar and the Jews, this also gained popularity with the people of Germany. The treaty of Versailles also stipulated that Germany must demiliterize, resulting in alot of soliders without jobs. With large unemployment people are more likely to take more radical views as they get more desperate, Hitler used this to his advantage. The treaty of Versailles was a major cause to Hitlers rise to power. Another major cause that resulted in Hitlers rise to power was the Weimar democracy.
In doing so, those folks may be described as being civilly disobedient. Civil Disobedience is the refusal to obey a law or follow a policy believed to be unjust. (1) and is typically done in a non-violent way. Many have successfully practiced civil disobedience. Henry David Thoreau, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr., all took a stand for what they felt were unjust laws.
I contest that the will can be both necessitated and free through God’s grace and that the aforementioned terms are related through the twelve-step model of a human act. I will answer and connect these queries by exploring will and evil as investigated in Augustine’s On Free Choice of the Will and Aquinas’s A Summary of Philosophy and providing an example of a complete human act indicating at each step the role of intellect and will. An antecedent evil act is one in which the ignorance or misinformation is not voluntary and if the person committing the evil act becomes knowledgeable of their misinformation then remorse for their evil act is shown. While an antecedent evil act can be carried out by a good will, consequent and concomitant acts are those that are products of evil wills. Erroneous reason plays a large part in these acts as many make reasoned decisions based on misinformation; therefore to determine whether or not their will is good one must investigate why they were misinformed.
Augustine replies back to him which kind of evil is Ev talking about: the evil that men do and the evil that men suffer. Ev responds to him saying, “I want to know about both kinds of evil.” Aug begins to define while conversing with Ev by explaining that God gives justly to the righteous and the wicked what they deserve. The explanation is clear. God gives the righteous their rewards and the wicked he punishes justly, but the way we experience His justice is through suffering. He further explains that the evil deeds that we perform are of our own accord, and that we are punished by God’s justice because they are done out of our own free will.
The real question that needs to be asked is: Which engine is better in the long run and how fast can the engines be put to use? Electric powered vehicles have a lot of promise, such as zero emissions along with plenty to save at the gas stations that people will not have to visit anymore, but at what cost? Building an all new electric vehicle will cost the manufacturer about 20,000 dollars alone. With that price for manufacturers, one can expect the price on the lot would be over 25,000 or more. The Nissan Leaf is expected to price at 30,000 dollars (Winder), which would take years for a consumer to gain money back on it through savings on gasoline.
Hugo Boss is working toward improving their efficiency and responsiveness toward the NOS items buy utilizing a SCO Pilot system that will help with product availability issues. They are currently having issues during key retail replenishment periods, such as December, and losing revenue due to stockouts (1.1% of net sales in 2004). Changes in demand and production lag time created a persistent challenge to have the right amount of inventory at the right time. NOS (never out of stock) items do not change seasonally (style, color, and fabric remain constant for three years) and before the SCO pilot system, Hugo Boss was placing orders for these products once a month. Upon implementation of this system, they changed to ordering weekly.
I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all” (15), “To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law” (16), “Hence segregation is not only politically, economically and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful. Paul Tillich has said that sin is separation” (16), and most of paragraph 21. Some more examples are when he says, “Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?” (25), “I am grateful to God that, through the influence of the Negro church, the way of nonviolence became an integral part of our struggle” (28), “Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?” (31), “ I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it.
