    There is a fine line between utopia and dystopia. Both work towards group prosperity, order, and self-sustenance, but the methods they use to achieve these goals make all the difference—the difference between a society that takes advantage of the individual, and one that is centered on the individual’s well-being. Though the societies of Walden Two and Anthem have similar aims, Walden Two’s benevolence and City of Anthem’s tyranny lead the two communities to take very different shapes.…

    Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. It was advocating independence from Great Britain to the people of the thirteen colonies. “It captured the imagination of the colonists as had no previous pamphlet” (Paine, page 9).

    Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense in some of 1775 and some of 1776. He had only just moved to America been in the colonies for a few months before he produced most likely his best piece ever. I believe that Lille saw the writings as brief and to the point, somewhat blunt. In modern day most readers would more than likely shy away from the book because of the fashion it is written in. It is striking its words invigorating it empowered the colonists by giving them a voice. It was the kick start to the American Revolution.…

    More than 2000 years after democracy first began in Athens, in 1789, the United States became the first modern democracy. According to Freedom House, in 2013, 122 of the 195 nations were electoral democracies and 75% of the world’s population lived in countries classified as “Free” or “Partly Free.” 1 We have come a long way from the early democracies in Greece and Rome, with much more equality and many more rights, but it is possible than none of this would have happened without the influence of these societies and Judaism and…
