Such instances include our need for our "own mouthpiece", "we hold our own responsibility", and "a free country we need not be ashamed of". The heart of any persuasive argument is a sense of empathy and understanding of the situation presented. To underscore the hardship Cary and the fugitives had to endure, she utilizes particular word choices and contrast between Canada and the U.S. in order to set the tone of her article. Within the first paragraph, Cary implements the word "demagogue" to establish that the authoritative figures she has dealt with used underhanded tactics of manipulation, including preaching half-truths. In the sense of the word’s denotation and connotation, Cary is able to stake the claim of danger, peril, repression, and subjugation when in the mercy of the demagogue.
Abstract This paper will analyze the practice of intercountry adoption and its legal and human rights implications. Much debate exists in the international community as to the justification for intercountry adoption and how to best ensure the well being of children around the world. This analysis will illustrate a brief historical account of intercountry adoption and how this practice has come to be, explore the various arguments in support and opposition of intercountry adoption, then turn to existing international law relevant to the issue. This analytical process will demonstrate how intercountry adoption poses various challenges to international law, and will argue that the international legal system is currently ill-equipped to govern this system in a safe and secure manner. I.
Finally, we will attempt to give an explanation to the conceptual nature of this situation with respect to the liberal theory. Realists portray States’ behavior as a struggle for power resulting from the anarchical structure of the international system. States are unitary actors with the objective of safeguarding security and sovereignty with military capabilities. Suspicion prevails so states continuously envision and prepare conducive to fight or counter fight in an environment conducive to conflict. States are concerned by their position in the balance of power, i.e.

How does the concept of “tradition” stand in Hermeneutics? Discuss in relation to the Gadamer-Habermas debate. This essay will aim to explore the contemporary views on the questions surrounding that of the definition and role of “tradition” and “language” in hermeneutics, discussed through the influential views of Heidegger on Gadamer’s philosophical thought, Gadamer’s theory on the speculative dimension of language, and the well-known debate between Habermas and Gadamer. The dispute largely concerns the judgment of tradition and the position language holds within it; comparing Gadamer’s arguably more conservative hermeneutical view to the ideological criticisms demonstrated by Habermas. Habermas critiques Gadamer’s thought by questioning the overall concept and the central role of tradition, arguing the possibilities of certain sub-conscious interests and specific authorial forces that distort tradition.
This raises an interesting question and an intriguing premise for the people of these countries on what sort of societies they wish to build in place of the ones they overthrew, and at what pace. This essay will primarily examine the extent to which these new societies should protect individual rights to free expression and action, especially given their uniformly volatile and unstable political situations currently. To do this, we will examine it under the premises put forth by Artistotle, Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill on the
Moral Codes and other mistakes. In this paper I argue for what has been termed ‘moral progress’(Rorty 915-27), and against fixed moral codes. By ‘moral progress’ I mean that humanity, as time has passed has come to be increasingly aware of the iniquities of past societies (and, in many cases, ‘present’ societies) and has striven to understand how morality can change to accommodate this understanding. Bertrand Russell, in his book "Human Society in Ethics and Politics", makes the point that moral codes are often dictated by those in positions of power (Russell 38-43). "Right and wrong" are defined with relation to the powerful.
In this essay I will be defining, exploring and analysing the historical, theoretical and philosophical concept of universal human rights with a particular focus of international devices that have historically been in place and those instruments that still exist today and its applications of human rights both in theory and context with pragmatic examples from different countries, culture and religion. The evolution of human rights in terms of its challenges and successes will also be evaluated. The core of this essay will focus on the controversial clash of culture and religious in practice against the constant attempt in adapting to the idea of universal human rights. Fundamentally this essay will attempt to present both opposite views and
CIVILIANS! Aren't we the direct impact of the decisions our government makes? If we, the people, find such laws unsatisfactory, whom are we supposed to go to? Dear friends, a revolt is a just a way to make the authorities realize that the common people matter. Take our own struggle for independence as an example.
Can foreign policy be both “ethical” and Realist? “What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?”1 Foreign policy can be said to be the discourse of international politics – the means by which states present themselves, forge inter-state relationships and attempt to advance their own interests. However even a cursory examination of the topic yields several differing views on it, falling under the umbrella of several theories – Liberal Internationalism, Realism and Marxism, to name a few. Examining the Realist view in particular, raises the question of whether foreign policy is conducted purely for national self-interest, or whether it can have elements of morality and ethics factor into the justifications and motivations involved. Realism is the evolution of a long tradition of political thought, able to be traced as far back as Thucydides and his Melian dialogue; the core of Machiavelli’s famous treatise The Prince; keenly visible in the inter-war period of the 20th Century, and now seemingly ingrained in political thought as the “realistic” approach to politics, focused around the pursuit of power – “Man's control over the minds and actions of other men.”2 In the anarchic international system, with politically identical (that is, sovereign) states all jostling for position, the Realist view is one of self-help and a struggle for survival.
