Society is coordinated and unified by the general will. All people are born free, but the natural freedom is not achieved until these people enter into a social contract. According to Rousseau, natural freedom is acquired by allowing the General Will to be the ruling factor of a government. In order to enter into Rousseau's social contract, personal freedom must be given up. By disregarding the state of nature, the powers of each individual is directed towards a common interest.
This is God given, and we are “free moral agents”. Second, we are all equal and born with the same basic nature and qualities. There is no “blood” difference and no natural hierarchy, so aristocrats are no better than merchants. Third, we are all independent and self interested with inalienable rights (life, liberty, and property). This leads to a moral law, or a natural law, which includes the duty to maintain the rights of others.
Identify the conclusion. | The conclusion is the statement that responds to the issue question. It is what the person is trying to convince you is true. | The conclusion of this article is when Bering states “There are so many people in this country who are miserable, afraid and dying as the direct result of the religious freedom that we afford to those who simply interpret this as the freedom to demonize anyone not like them.”(Bering, 2014)By stating this he is basically reestablishing how freedom of speech and religion are hindering gay men and women from becoming equal to everyone in our society. | 3.
Additionally, Rousseau brings up the concept of individual freedom in the state of nature. In the state of nature, man has essentially unlimited freedom where everyone has a right to everything. This unlimited freedom leads to chaos, violence, and uncertainty. As a result, Rousseau believes that a social contract and an ensuing political order is necessary in order to ensure civility and preserve individuality. The next phase of Rousseau’s argument deals with will.
Dracula criticises the conservative nature of the social situation in the Victorian era, as well as the unrefined, superstitious nature of the pre-enlightenment era. An example of this juxtaposition is found in the character of Dr. Van Helsing. Van Helsing’s character juxtaposes the scientific man of the enlightenment era with the superstitious vampire hunter: “We went into the room, taking the [garlic] with us [to keep vampires away].

Individuals are often unable to express themselves freely in society “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” This was said by ralph waldo emerson who lead a religious and philosophical movement in the 19th century. People today find it hard to express themselves as everyone in the community is so judgmental, no one can express themselves freely without someone critazing what they are doing.Everyone in the world has there own opinion and some of the major problems include racisim and sexism. Tthere have been many restrictions with the government as to who we can be with and how we express ourselves. governments have always been controlling and stop people from expressing themselves freely in society.

There has to be a trigger to make them no longer have any innocence, and sacrifice themselves as a person. Our Creator is not evil; he wouldn’t make us to be like that either. Great thinkers believed that humans are evil. Philosophers like Thomas Hobbes and also Sigmund Freud believed that humans were evil.

“God must be Evil” The question “is God evil?” is asked very often with both sides of the question offering different answers to this question with no definitive answer coming about but in both cases people coming out with very convincing arguments for both sides of the story. Some people argue that God is indeed evil because he is omniscient and because of his omniscience he knows that from the moment he decided to create us maybe even before then he knew which of us would reject him thus securing a place in hell for them or would sin again securing them a place in hell and yet does nothing about this. This is a major contradiction to his supposedly being omnibenevolent and some people even go so far as to use examples of murder and rape which are horrific events which they then use to say “how can a loving God allow such a thing to happen?” They then go further into it saying how as God is omnipresent and can see everything that has happened, will happen and is happening he must take some sort of sick pleasure in watching these events occur and so is evil. Or at the very least by allowing such a horrific event to happen without some form of justice or stopping them then he has to be evil as only an evil person would let evil acts go unpunished. Sam Harris uses this idea in one of his quotes saying that “Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes or he doesn’t care to or he doesn’t exist.
(III ii 49-53) At this point King Lear has now become too week to correct his misjudgments about his daughters and is now calling on a divine justice because his power is now limited. This demonstrates that regardless of a person’s position in life, ultimately one of their great desires for all of society is to be just. Justice, not mercy, is the greatest fundamental principal that society has because it demands that all citizens be held accountable for their behavior. “My lord is dead; Edmund and I have talk'd; and more convenient is he for my hand. Than for your lady's: you may gather more.
