This week chapter 7 of Fee and Stuart talked about the four gospels.The four gospels basically talk about the narratives of Jesus’ life. They all talk about the same thing but from a different background. None of the gospels supersedes the other but each stands beside the others as equally valuable and equally authoritative.

Perhaps quite eloquently‚ in John Stuart Mill’s text Utilitarianism he noted that “there are few circumstances among those which make up the present condition of human knowledge more unlike what might have been expected‚ or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on the most important subjects still lingers‚ than the little progress which has been made in the decision of controversy respecting the criterion of right and wrong” (Mill 1:1-6). In summary‚ it is rather evident that

Stanley Cohen (1973) suggests that the media depiction of anti-social behaviour helps to construct folk devils. Folk devils become the focus of public fears and anxieties. They are made to stand for wider problems and concerns and‚ in the process‚ become the figures who exemplify ‘what is wrong with society today’.

• Stuart Rojstaczer states his own opinion that students that walk into a class knowing they can go “through the motions” and get a passing grade begin to put in less effort. He goes on to say that many students study less than 10 hours‚ which is less than half of what they were putting in 40 years ago.

He does this by exploring the ways that silencing an individual’s opinion in a variety of situations harms society‚ whether the opinion silenced is true or false. In The Second Treatise of Government‚ John Locke explains his views on political philosophy but never explicitly states a clear view on free speech‚ it does allude to an attitude
