To recognize the historical fact that the United Sates has been an overwhelmingly English speaking nation since it was created and that its constitution and foundational documents are in English. 5. To recognize that while the people of the United States value and respect diversity, they want to preserve English as their common language and therefore immigrants have the responsibility to learn English. 6. To conform to the majority of the states (31) that already have made English their official language.
Certainly these changes were massive, quite abrupt and differed drastically from the norm; however that does not necessarily make them bad. Except, that is how they are viewed by many historians today. The historian N.Reeves believes Akhenaten was unsuccessful, but more in his religion reforms. 'For ordinary folk, there is little doubt that Akhenaten's actions as king over time inflicted the greatest misery: the people were confused by the man's religious vision, frightened by the ruthless manner in which it was imposed and quite likely appalled by his personal behaviour.' Reeves believe that the changes would have confusing and scary for the common people.
I would like to begin by discussing a philosophy of Buddhism that was apparent while reading the “Seven Taoist Masters”. The philosophy of the four noble truths played a major role in Ch’iu Ch’u-chi reaching the immortal realm. Three of the four noble truths states that life is dukkha (suffering), tanha (cravings/desires) causes dukkha, and we can overcome tanha. In the book Master Wang refused to accept Ch’iu Ch’u-chi as a student. This was because he saw a great amount of suffering in Ch’iu Ch’u-chi’s future, if he attempted to cultivate the Tao.
Conservatives have a pessimistic view of human nature, some would even agree with Hobbes view that the desire for “power after power” is the primary human urge. Two we are intellectually imperfect conservatives traditionally believe that the world is simply too complicated for human reason to fully grasp this leads them to trust in tradition as it is “Tried and tested” and it also explains there argument for letting society grow organically as conservatives would prefer to trust in nature then our own rationality this contrasts with both socialism and liberalism. Finally they believe we are psychologically imperfect conservatives believe we are security seeking, we fear isolation and instability and desire the security and belonging of “knowing are place” this is used as the argument for conservatives supporting social order as they accept Hobbes theory of a “Social contract” that individuals are willing to sacrifice liberty for the cause of social order. It is clear that traditionally conservatives strongly believed in human imperfection but too what extent the different strands of conservatism support this core principle differs. Strands that believe in the Human imperfection completely are traditional conservatives, authoritarian conservatives and paternalistic
.” Orwell like to think that perfection and sainthood was far too much for one to handle seeing as how no being is perfect. George Orwell’s reflection on Gandhi opened eyes and showed how something as achieving perfection in only wishful thinking and that even if perfection is reached, a human could not possibly handle it. Saints and anyone in general have faults and despite trying, can never fully achieve the status as a diamond
Hindsight. A bias only gifted to those who have the pleasure of standing on the sidelines or those who specialize in criticizing the actions of others in dire times of the past, while they themselves stand in the relative safety of the present. Every person is subject to hindsight and such treatment can ruin careers and the historic impression one leaves. Case example: Hiroshima. Many criticize the US Military’s bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yet those same individuals are often civilians who have a general disliking of war and consequently are misinformed to the point of extreme partisan bias.
He is sick of the White moderate the most because he had so much hope that they would help but disappointment is what happened and it is really sad to see that. They say to wait even though by waiting more harm is being caused to the oppressed. The white moderate is more devoted to order than to justice and they prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. They say “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct
The very first point Suzanne Britt makes in comparison of the neat and sloppy is of moral character. For example, she states that sloppiness is only an “unfortunate consequence of extreme moral rectitude.” In contrast, Britt supposes that neat people are so obsessed with tidiness that they may “throw the children out of the house just to cut down the clutter.” This shocking image shows that neat people are the immoral ones, not the sloppy ones. With these points made, Britt suggests that our cleanliness depends on our personality and that neat people are actually less ethical. Suzanne Britt also notes a second difference between neat and sloppy people, based on optimism and hope for the future. Sloppy people are stuck in “Never-Never Land,” carrying a vision for the future in their minds that they will eventually clean up their act.
Throughout the Asuka, Nara and Heian periods, kotodama as ‘the power of words,’ was influenced by the continuous religious turmoil between Kami worship or Shintōism and styles of Buddhism, in particular Vajrayana and Mahayana influenced Shingon and Tendai Buddhism. These religious clashes, owing to the syncretic nature of religion in Japan, shifted the concept of kotodama from an extroverted, supernatural and deity focused term to an introverted, personal betterment oriented usage. This shift is shown and exemplified through the examination of texts ranging from specific episodes from the Kojiki and Man’yōshū, especially the kōroshinin no uta and spirit pacification texts, to Buddhist didactic and syncretic setsuwa. The origins of kotodama lay in the primary Shintō text of the Kojiki. In the course of the creation myths laid out in the Kojiki, Susano-o swears an oath to Amaterasu that they shall have children together (Shirane 27).
(PAGE 40) A danger with the 'harm to public order' argument is that states tend to interpret it very broadly and thus restrict many types of speech, including criticism of the government. Some argue pragmatically that anti-democratic ideas are best handled in a free democratic debate, and that people will eventually gain most from toleration of intolerant ideas.
