Laws are put into place so that the world would not be so chaotic. People would be able to do whatever they wanted to do. This is why the constitution and bill of rights was created so that people could not go out and kill or hurt others.

Renee Ramirez Period 6 May 10, 2010 BNW Essay Have you ever imagined a world that was only controlled by stability and not freedom? Well in the book “Brave New World”, there civilization is controlled this way. With stability there is no way to be your own person and live your own life. However, with freedom you can be yourself and not be dictated around to live in one certain way. Freedom is more important than stability because stability is control and demanding and the freedom to feel, dream, and to be able to create your own life and be who you want to in a way gives you your own stability.
The Relationship Lens is focused on processing the systems needing for an ethical organization.

The kicker to it all though is we cannot depend on the government to take the stand, but we must make the stand for ourselves. In our society now, we have deemed so many things necessary to our lives that we by no means require. These things are not for me to decide and definitely should be out of the government’s realm of control. It is up to us the body of this nation to decide personally what we are willing to sacrifice the preserve this way of life, the way of life being the freedoms that we all take for granted. Anything that we can do without and produce for ourselves will not only strengthen our country, but will also help our children and grandchildren live out the same pleasures we have been able to enjoy.
Written In Stone After reading the article “Some Moral Minima” by Lenn Goodman, I must admit that I agree that there are certain things that are flat line wrong. Living in today’s society with so many different cultures, religious and political beliefs we are bound to view some aspects of life differently. I must say however, some should never fall in that category. Genocide seeks to destroy a race, a culture even a class. Slavery allows one man to imprison another man that is his equal, to a life he doesn’t choose.
According to Tocqueville, a lot can be done to the nation, if those individuals listen to their conscience and stop living in their own circle like a hermit. Society will not change unless those people make a move and change their way of thinking. Margaret Fuller said "when inward and outward freedom for woman as much as for man shall be acknowledged as a right, not yielded as a concession." This means that equality between men and women should be considered as something normal and moral. And here again, we see that if people listen to their conscience, and not to what society want them to believe is good, there will be some beneficial changes.

This concept is further backing the idea that government should be remain as small as possible. He writes in Social Classes Owe to Each Other that each social class owes eachother nothing, and that each citizen is entitled to the pursuit of happiness and an equal opportunity in doing so, but not everyone has the right to nor are they entitled to the right. This reflects the laissez-faire argument of what little the government interaction with social classes would
These are surprisingly simple questions to answer, self ownership is not a hard concept to grasp. Self Ownership is the concept that you and I as sovereign beings have full ownership and responsibility over our bodies and our minds. In Self ownership lyes the truest and most fundamental ideals of freedom-- do as you wish as long as your actions do not impede on the freedoms of others . This is a concept that many people believe we already practice in our society, but this is not the case. There are many laws that inhibit us as the owners of our bodies from having the freedom to do as we please.
Locke believes that civil disobedience is justifiable if the government’s legitimate authority is questioned by the people, since he believes that we all consent to leaving the state of nature through a social contract with the Leviathan, a ruler or ruling body, which will ensure safety to all its subjects/citizens. This means that the people need to back the legitimacy of a government’s authority over them. If this doesn’t happen then civil disobedience is acceptable in a lockean ideology. This means that any form of civil disobedience is an show of lack of
I am begging you to get this information out to the public. If they so choose not to do anything with it that depends on the people, However I will rest easier knowing I’ve done as much as I could. “It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will” Only man has the power to change what they do not like about our government (Thoreau). Yet again, I am sitting in this prison on my own behalf. I am here because I wanted and still do want the people to have justice, I want the people to know.
