The famed Medici family of Florence produced 4 Popes, 3 queen regents of France, and engaged in countless acts of assassination and subterfuge. This was representative of the Italian society where Baldassare Castiglione wrote his masterwork, The Book of the Courtier. Italian politics and culture was shaped by the fact that Italy consisted of many autonomous city states that each had their own royal courts, standing armies, cultures, and rulers. This divisiveness in politics helped to foster an extremely stratified society in regards to class and gender. This social stratification causes Castiglione’s definition of the perfect courtier to differ immensely from his definition of the perfect Court woman, and it causes the characteristics of his…

The government regulates issues involving social responsibility because it is its job to keep the citizens of its state safe. I'll speak only in terms of the United State's government for this question. If a business is not treating its employees well, overpricing its goods or services, and/or is polluting the government, the government should step in to protect its citizens. For example, during the Progressive Era, there were terrible working conditions and many violent accidents. President Theodore Roosevelt put several laws into place that helped the workers (the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, the Adamson Act of 1916, and the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916).…

Many countries in the world have a political system in which officials are elected, and for most of these countries’ citizens, their civic duty stops at voting. Yet, many Americans go above and beyond for a cause that is important to them, setting us apart from other nations. Millions of Americans express their concern and passion by actions as small as writing a letter to their Congressman or as big as running for office themselves. This continuing determination, this idea that we can always improve upon yesterday’s shortcomings, is a key aspect of progression.…
