The Imperial secretary Sang Hongyang declares “abolition of these measures is not expedient.” This statement means that Legalists believe the policies are necessary to keep the empire running and that it is not practical to abolish them, for then the treasuries would be depleted and funding for defense for the soldiers would be obsolete. Then he goes on to explain how “equitable marketing” was established and how it contributes to their country. Before this system, the people would send respective products as tributes to support the country, but the Legalists think that people are untrustworthy and should be governed by laws to force them to do good. They came up with this set of laws, i.e. setting up transportation offices, forcing the people to send their goods to these places because the government did not trust the quality of the products sent from the people.
The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery. Even with such advanced politics and thought, a class distinction still persisted, and though they had seen the benefit of all this technology, there were those in the upper class who felt it was beneath them to use such tools in any way. T Innovation was of great value to both the Han and Romans. The Han placed a higher attribution to culturally relevant creators. For example, Huan Tan, an upper-class Han philosopher wrote in New Discourses (Document III) of an emperor of myth inventing and refining the pestle and mortar for all people.
In his campaign for a greater Economy, Mussolini’s actions sometimes benefitted the Italian people by improving their living conditions. One example of this was his ‘Battle for Land’. The aim of this battle was to clear marshland to use for housing and farmland. The construction of these farms and houses also led to many people being employed to help in there construction. This battle improved the standard of living for Italians in two ways.
Even when they started working they misbehaved. The government created more jobs for everyone and forced others to work for people who didn’t need it, otherwise they would have been sent to a correction facility. Morgan wanted to show how irresponsible the Jamestown citizens were, and comparing them to England was the best way to do it. In England they worked, they farmed, they planted. Cattle, crops, gardens, and they were able to expand to better areas to farm.
They prayed and Sheriff Jim Clark’s deputies and Major John Cloud’s troopers unblocked the bridge. But Martin Luther King still returned to Brown Chapel and did not press on. This infuriated SNCC, whom after seeing the deputies and troopers move wanted to continue with the demonstration. Martin Luther King had made a deal with Federal Mediators and he did not wish to violate it. But The Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee saw no reason not to continue on because the men had cleared the way and therefore they believed they should be able to move through without problems.
He wrote about how Fuxi, a wise mythological emperor, was the inventor of the pestle and mortar. Huan Tan shows his support for the advancement of technology by using words such as “benefit” in the document. Document 4 tells about how Tu Shih was appointed governor of Nanyang. This document shows that the Hans believed technology was useful and beneficial when it tells how Tu Shih creates a water-powered blowing-engine for the casting of iron agricultural implements. The Romans were a bit less interested in the possible benefits of technology but still they used technology to an extent.
The quote “’we shall not report our find to the City Council. We shall not report it to any men.’” demonstrates ethics. This quote demonstrates ethics because Equality knows the right thing to do would be to report his find to the council, but because of his curiosity and interest in the tunnel he refuses to tell or let his friend tell the council of the tunnel. Ethics is one of the main points of Ayn Rand’s theory of objectivism and she proves how Equality demonstrates it through his disobeying of the city council. “I wished to know the meaning of things, am I the meaning” illustrates objectivism through epistemology.
Not only was this an astute political move, it was also a necessary service provided to those who kept Rome safe. While Caius’s public reforms did much to help the Roman people, what truly set him apart as a social reformer were his actions outside of the Roman political sphere. In his second term as tribute, Caius left his house on the Palatine Hill to live in the market place with the common people of Rome. He left his life of luxury to live a common life among his constituents so that he could better serve their interests. This shows Caius’s strong political sensibilities, as well as his dedication to employing social reform to make Rome a better place for all of its’
According to Huan Tan the Han used the water to make inventions because he said, “Water power was also applied (pestle and mortar)”. Although they both used water to build inventions the Romans built their inventions on a large scale while the Han built theirs on a small scale. The Han treated the lower class with respect while the Romans were very selfish and did not really care about the lower class. The reason the Han respected the lower class was because they followed Confucius’ teachings and He once said “The government is to the people as the father is to the son”. The Romans on the other hand were very selfish and Cicero said, “Vulgar and unbecoming to a gentleman are all the jobs hired workers take on” right here he is downgrading the workers because he is
The 'anarchists' in the Patagonia desired a society without rich or poor people as well as a society in which everyone showed respect for the human being, so that no weapons would ever be necessary. In this manner, they sought a society where people solved disagreements through talking, and not violence, out of respect for the other person and their position. Aside from these broad goals, the 'anarchists' also wanted fair wages and safe working conditions. This was seen when the Workers Union first went on strike in the movie. After the strikers were found not guilty by the court, the union demanded better and standardized wages for both urban and rural workers as well as first aid kits and signs or labeling in a language the workers could read, such as Spanish.
