9 post b log   4 comments

yo the most difficult part of political theory in this class is most definitely trying to write in the correct format.  In the past, I was accustomed to writing in my own style, free from any definitive structure.  This writing class was hard for me to communicate my ideas in a method that wasn’t my […]

We are not equal.   3 comments

Why do governments exist? In this paper, I will argue that governments exist because they are the only mechanisms that can be formed to ensure and enforce equal opportunity among men. It’s absolutely crucial to understand where equality among men stems from and why we value it; from there we can garner greater understanding of […]

La conferencia de memo   Leave a comment

After writing the draft for my first thesis oriented paper, I have to admit that it is a major shift from the writing style I had to adjust to in the first major paper.  I feel like this paper, we a little awkward to write at first, because I am not used to writing in […]

Look at me now..   5 comments

Other than that being a great song, I do think the title reflects the objective of this assignment in reflecting on how we have developed as writers thus far.  Hence, “look at me now.”  So let’s get started.

Goldman’s Hipsterarchy.   9 comments

Abiding laws are so mainstream, anarchy just screams hipster preying ground for ideals.  Despite, the silly title, this is going to be a really serious constructive post. Goldman is evidently advocating the thin self.  The thin self entails strict individualism, which Goldman exemplifies in her article “Anarchy: What it really stands for.”  She is advocating […]

Socrates? More like Bosscrates..   6 comments

So, I read both sections of the book, and in the “Apology,” Socrates perplexes his audience by defending himself, instead of personally atoning for all that he is convicted with in his indictment.  There aren’t really words that I definitionally did not know about, however I thought certain words held certain significant value in their use.  A […]
