Sartre And Homosexuality
... to be what he is and declare his homosexuality. In Sartre’s logic, the homosexual is correct, as no person is a homosexual in the way that a "table is a table." Sartre’s argument lies within this framework. He believes that the homosexual cannot acknowledge that he is a homosexual. If the homosexual becomes "sincere", and expresses that he is a homosexual, he would be in bad faith. He would essentially agree that he is a homosexual in the same way that a book is a book. He wold be "affirming that he is a homosexual in the sense of being-in-itself, yet at the same time he would be aware that this was not, ...

Nazism
... The party's
principles were essentially antidemocratic and racist. Hitler borrowed
considerably from the Italian Fascist and Soviet Communist Systems, but the
Nazi pseudoscientific racist theories were original German contributions.
In the past storm troopers and communists had contested the streets on
fairly equal terms. Now, three days after the formation of Hitler's
cabinet, communist meeting were banned in Prussia. To enforce such
measures, there was a new and ominous agency. A minor department in the
Berlin police, detailed to watch anticonstitutional activities, was put
under Goring's command. As of A ...

Cosmetic Testing On Animals
... woman died from a mascara. After that incident the Food and Drug Administration passed an act for animal testing on cosmetics.(Issue 1) However, that act is no longer in effect, but companies continue to test on animals.

Women In Africa
... outcomes: A.E. Afigbo's The Warrant Chiefs, Sylvia Leith-Ross' African
Women, Jean Allman's "Rounding Up Spinsters: Gender Chaos and Unmarried Women in
Colonial Asante", and Irene Staunton's Mothers of the Revolution, several
questions arise. What were women seeking and how did this differ from what men
wanted? Did women attain their goals, and if not, why not? If women were not
successful in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some ...

Native American Virtues
... expressed trust and fellowship toward the strangers who had journeyed into the Native's homeland. Among other survival skills, Squanto taught them to plant and harvest crops in soil foreign to the settlers, how to hunt animals with the most protein (to get maximum energy from the food), and how to build shelter and clothing necessary to endure the harsh climate of what's presently Massachusetts. The very act of the Natives caretaking for the settlers created the possibility of the Indian Nations' downfall. If the the settlers weren't given food and friendship, they surely would've died off and Indians w ...

Garrett Hardin In "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against The Poor"
... my hard-working money that they did not earn.
I am tired of the United States of America giving my money to the poor
countries. The government is giving these people my money for which I worked
hard. The government does not ask for my permission to give these people my
money. By letting these people on our lifeboat the government is drowning us all.
"If we do let an extra 10 people in our lifeboat, we will have lost our 'safety
factor,' an engineering principle of critical importance" (page 757). I cannot
take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to no ...

... society in general.
The article is called, “Absent Without Excuse.” It discusses how elementary education is being deprived that when the student is ready to move on to higher learning in a college setting, he or she is not ready. Its not in high school, neither is it in middle school that students are suppose to learn the basics to better study habits.

Leaders Of The Progressive Movement
... and enduring difference in American society. Even in the time before women's suffrage, Jeanette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives. During her time there, she worked tirelessly for all kinds of legislation to help women, while never compromising her pacifist stance. Jane Addams also worked for social reforms, using her position in society to form Hull House, a settlement house for the social and economic betterment of the poor. She wrote many books about worthy causes such as peace, and endured harsh criticism of her work. Perhaps the most radical of the three, Emma Goldman, took her work for w ...

A Civil Rebuttal
... for have made us, again as a unity, divides. I asked myself exactly how
we have achieved ‘civilized chaos' in the search for our solutions and
resolutions of the very ‘virus' it seems we have caused. I would not of course
go so far as to say a civil war between the generations within this house, but
moreover to express that simply by me using philosophy, it becomes not only my
benefit, but a mutualism between us.
Please feel more than obliged to correct me if I am incorrect (morally
or politically) but are we not all philosophers ourselves? As a baker's
vocation is to bake, a philosopher's vocation is ...

Psychological Egoism: Every Person Is Oriented Towards His (or Her) Own Welfare, And The Object Of Every One Of His Voluntary Actions Is Some Good To Himself
... They are always thinking of themselves in everything they do.
Each individual is preoccupied exclusively with the gratification of
personal desires (felicity or happiness).Ones success in maintaining a
continuous flow of gratification is the means of ones happiness.
The object of the voluntary acts of every man is some good to himself.
Whenever man renounces his right it is either in consideration for some right
reciprocally transferred to himself, or for some other good he hopes for from
the outcome. This presents us with the old saying: "Do unto others as you would
want them to do unto you."
