    Comparing Political Philosophies

    The social contract or political contract is a theory or model, originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual. Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights. The question of the relation between natural and legal rights, therefore, is often an aspect of social contract theory.The most important contemporary political social contract theorist is John Rawls, who effectively resurrected social contract theory in the second half of the 20th century, along with David Gauthier, who is primarily a moral contractarian.…

    Research Paper for History of Bowling

    An early form of bowling may be over 7,000 years old. Contents of an ancient Egyptian grave have provided archeologists with evidence of implements used for playing a game similar to bowling. Polynesians participated in an ancient game of bowling using elliptical balls and round, flat stone disks. The game was called Ula Maika. Bowling at pins started as a religious ceremony and developed into a sport. Characteristics of bowling may be found in an Italian game called "boccie" and a German game called "kegle", but the Dutch are given the credit for introducing the game in North America. The original ninepins game became very popular. Because gambling during the game was prevalent in many areas, a law was enacted to prohibit ninepin bowling. A tenth pin was added to create the game of tenpins in order to get around the law. That happend probably between 1820 and 1830.…

    Competing Ideologies

    Following Confederation in 1867 and into the turn of the century Canada was divided among three competing ideologies. The first being Imperialism, a belief favoured by English speaking Canadians and the Conservative government, that strong British ties held a better future for Canada. Within Imperialism, French-speaking Canadians who preferred Canada to be self-governing and bi-lingual nation within the British Empire favoured a Nationalist ideology. Continentalism was the third philosophy held mainly by Liberal English speaking rural Canadians, which recommended strong continental ties with the United States. The division caused by these competing ideologies is evident in 3 heavily debated events faced by Canada in the late 1800s: the South African war, the naval crisis and the reciprocity agreements with the United States.…

    Political Ideology In American Society

    Political ideology in American Society can get a little confusing. This is due partially to the fact that the most commonly used model to explain political ideology is too simple. The linear model, as it is sometimes called, puts the ideological spectrum on a straight line. This model often leaves researcher 's wondering about ideologies because it ties groups together that may have absolutely different ideas. Also, the linear model does not perfectly predict each point. A better way to explain the ideological spectrum is with the square model. This model puts the ideological spectrum in five dimensions, giving it a better representation of the ideological spectrum. First, however, to explain the importance of the square model verses the linear…

    Political Ideology

    Political Ideology

    In the textbook, American Political Culture is described as the extensive communal opinions, standards, and morals citizens have in correlation with the government, as well as in relation with each other. One of the contributing factors that make the culture that way is suffrage, which is the right to vote. For example, our thoughts in suffrage went from the belief that white men who own property are allowed to vote to all citizens who are adults, besides criminals in some cases, have that right. Another reason for this would be deliberation, which is the procedure where administrators or people gather to converse and contemplate public issues, along with social capital, which is democratic and municipal series of debating, agreement, and regard for contrast, which derives from involvement in optional groups. An example that represents these overlapping ideas is political campaigning because of their extensive use in internet that allows people to interact with each other on their thoughts.…

    Theory Of Social Justice

    My tutors feedback helped me to focus on the question, pick out specific pieces of information and to refer to both the online and book materials. I drew on analytical skills and developed skills in learning which concepts to apply to the materials used. I was particularly interested in looking at the social harm and injustice, particularly when this has been publicised well with the recent general election. This is an interest I will continue to develop in my own time. I was faced with a challenge of time on this TMA, I have another module which the EMA is due for and it has been difficult to plan and manage both. However, now that the other module is finished I do not envisage this becoming a problem moving…
