Where functionalists see education as serving a beneficial role‚ conflict theorists view it more negatively. To them‚ educational systems preserve the status quo and push people of lower status into obedience. The fulfillment of one’s education is closely linked to social class. Students of low socioeconomic status are generally not

friends must know a great deal about each other and be able to understand the person’s inner workings. Over the course of a friendship‚ one learns about the others thoughts‚ beliefs‚ and actions.

Aristotle’s View of Politics Political science studies the tasks of the politician or statesman (politikos)‚ in much the way that medical science concerns the work of the physician (see Politics IV.1). It is‚ in fact‚ the body of knowledge that such practitioners‚ if truly expert‚ will also wield in pursuing their tasks. The most important task for the politician is‚ in the role of lawgiver (nomothetês)‚ to frame the appropriate constitution for the city-state. This involves enduring laws‚ customs

In the play Othello he makes it into a tragedy which makes the love even harder to take place. Shakespeare has always found a way to make love as complicated as he can which

in ways that tend to cause us great pain. I found it quite interesting that Aristotle used death as something we are not troubled because it is not close at hand. I would agree that most people don’t fear death when they are young because they don’t view it as imminent as those who are older do.

Plato speaking as his long-time mentor Socrates attempts to coerce a true definition of the word pious from the central character Euthyphro in order to help him better understand his predicament. The two men meet outside the king-archon’s court as they
