¶ … Society
Every person has thought, at least once in their life, that it would be nice if there were no disease, no crime, no poverty, and/or for some other improvement in the Human condition. Since everyone has dreamed of a better world, it is fair to say that Humanity has a common dream. While no two humans are exactly the same, we are all of one race, the human race, and we all share the experience of life in an essentially identical carbon-based life-form structure. We all work for continuing survival while in this structure, and hope for a happy, safe, and good life for ourselves and for our loved ones. Therefore, everyone has a common desire for the best life attainable."
Economic Equality
Extreme gaps exist between the rich and the poor around the globe and, in particular, in the United States. Reports of the corporate earnings of executives and the recent corporate accounting scandals have called for social reform even among political moderates and some conservatives.
The question is this: how do we equalize incomes in a society, at least to some degree, without instituting a communist or socialist state?
First, we should focus on redistributing wealth and opportunity at the point where it matters - at the stage where people are young and can take full advantage of opportunities. In other words, a society's children should be guaranteed a first-rate education, a lack of poverty, and an abundance of necessities such as shelter and health insurance. These strategies are the building blocks for income generation and a redistribution of wealth that relies on the individual taking advantage of his or her opportunities, rather than literal redistribution of money by the government.
Second, the minimum social wage must be increased to a high enough level that everyone can live comfortably. There will always be people in society that will be unable or unwilling...
Society We all live within societies and we are the consistency of the society. As families and as individuals, we play roles and responsibilities that when combined point towards a given trend and charters of a larger group, hence the society. An ideal society is one that constitutes people with similar life patterns which are mutual and beneficial to each member of that particular group. The infiltration of people with divergent
Like Plato, More retains the belief in One God in his concept of the perfect society by injecting the foundation of Neoplatonism and blending it with a rather festive or carnival-like quality (Marius 1995 as qtd in SparkNotes 2010). Utopians enjoy the good life at the expense of firmly rooted institutions and established order in society. People turn their freedom around and upside down. Ranks, norms, prohibitions, private property and
Heavy rule will always lead to destruction one way or another. Individuals can only take being oppressed for so long. An ideal society is one where the government and the people are happy. We see the results of oppression when we look at Martin Luther King's ideas and dreams for a better society. A world apart from Machiavelli's time, King captures the plight of the oppressed individual. He knows all
Plato using Socrates as his guide to help illuminate how his view of order and rulership should be defined. Plato's The Republic will be used to demonstrate how the orders of government should be carried out and how society itself is responsible for producing philosopher kings that provide the best rulers for their country. Plato was a Greek philosopher that used his past experiences as a playwright to help develop
Society's Views Of The Aging Populace This is not an undisclosed secret that the contemporary society is obsessed with beauty and perfection. A world in which no one ever gets sick, crops and animals grow faster and better and parents choose the physical features of their children sounds great. This perfect way of life has been made possible due to the advancements in genetic engineering. However, this technological modification has both
Most people are likely to think of marriage as being "fundamentally a package of legal rights, benefits and obligations -- which include hospital visitation rights and immigration rights for the foreign spouses of citizens, among others" (Wedgood). While people were accustomed to a traditional view of marriage, they gradually came to accept that it can actually be interpreted in order to incorporate a series of other values. For example, same-sex
