Two Paradigms of Capitalism : Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman

Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman are two of the most influential thinkers in the study of capitalism. While both of them advocate for a free society in which there are minimal governmental interventions and regulations, they differ greatly in their perspectives. Rand, as a writer, examines the topic on an individual basis and stresses the importance and necessity of capitalism to the individual rights of men.

According to the federal government budget one would think they would worry more about saving themselves as to driving us to change our lifestyles. Should we honestly be driving little Cracker Jack boxes around? The government has put strict yet ever increasing emission standards on not only the vehicles that we drive today but how we should live. Many people have mixed emotions about how the government has tightened their belts on America’s finances, and jeopardized our safety.

America is not exactly as free as it portrays itself to be. The government is forcing us to become more efficient people by pushing the prices of living and fossil fuels through the roof; nevertheless, making it nearly impossible for the lower class society to make ends meet. Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck more than ever before. Not only has the cost of fuel increased, but also the cost of items that American’s need to obtain a normal standard of living. “Big Brother” needs to take a step back and ask themselves, “Is this really working?”

Is Humanity is Moving Towards a World Without Borders?

Humanity is not moving towards a world without borders of every kind. Even when getting rid of some borders helps people grow, some borders are necessary to maintain order in the world. It is true that civilization has fought the differences made to individuals when it comes to gender, culture finds itself in the middle, and geographical and political borders are just necessary to keep harmony in the world as a whole.

On an individual basis equality when it comes to gender has been beneficiary for countries who imply it. Gender equality has been proven to the growth of countries in every way. Women are now able to acquire higher education increasing the possibilities that their children either male or female will get an education as well making the country more competitive in a professional way as well as in other aspects.

The joint of the PSOE and the UGT, where this declaration was expressed, was one of the most important events of the socialist movement during the Republic ages. We can see a radicalization of the movement defending the rise of the working class if the conditions thus reclaim it. Why happens this change, if the socialist until now had been opposed to any way that it was contrary to the law?

In the beginning the Socialist Party had born prearranged to the parliamentary and municipal action, although its puritanical character in the Marxist principles, prevented it an effective action in the politic. This situation suddenly change with the fall of Maura’s government thanks to the combined action of the opposite parties in 1909. The Socialist could seen that by a more active action in the politic scope, would obtain better results than its previous strict character. The Socialist’s challenge were of a more participation in the parliament and in the following years even a collaboration with the Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship. So, why happened this drastic change towards the rise option?

Islam and Democracy

Introduction

Morocco is a conservative country which religion is Islam; however, its political system is based on democracy due to its influence by Europe. Hassan II said: "Morocco is a tree, the roots of which are planted firmly in Africa but which has its branches in Europe."(Hassan II, 1976).
In fact, Morocco is a country which is open to modernity; it is what Moataz Abdel Fattah names a “modernist Islamist society” and defines as being a society that deduces its principles from the holy book and perceives democracy as a modern extension of the great Islam rules. (Moataz, 10) So what is the real meaning of democracy? According to Abraham Lincoln, democracy is a “Government of the people, by the people, for the people.” (Lincoln, A. qtd in democracy-building).

In another source, it is defined as the following:

The Rise of Realism

It is difficult to generalize one school of thought for the one-hundred and ninety-five countries that exist in the world. Because politics is so intricate, it is important to note that no country will completely adopt one school of thought. A nation may exemplify realism in some manners and demonstrate liberalism in another. However, overall, it appears as though the world draws more from realism than it does liberalism. There are many ways to ascertain which school of thought is more established or dominant. Realism appears to be more prevalent in our society because nations seem to act on what is in their own best interest rather than trying to apply universal ethics. Obtaining military control is how many nations believe that they can acquire power and possess economic prosperity. Essentially, the world’s political climate is perceived as a struggle whereby the strong dominate the weak. In addition, the idea of self-help seems to prevail over the idea of collective security.

Paper on Italian Music

What was the relationship between music and politics under fascism?

The political culture of fascism was very contradictory: on one hand the regime seemed to tolerate the modern view and yet on the other hand they were extremely strict and kept a tight control on all artistic aspects. Historians of culture, have come to recognize that fascism encouraged both modern as well as anti -modern trends. In Italy, fascism forced that idealized expressions of national traditions be safely immunized from foreign or avant-garde influences. The self-policing of the musical community was more important than ideological pronouncements of party officials. In Italy it was more artists and critics who sought to mobilize the regime to enforce their own rivalries. The fascist regime was scared to be criticized and so music became filtered and censured. They utilized music to mobilized the population, a good example was the fascist song “ Facetta Nera”. Music was a form of social control, and because of that a lot of music was rejected especially American music as Jazz.

Sadly, there are 1.39 million victims of human trafficking with only one to two percent of the victims ever being rescued and only one in 100,000 of the traffickers ever convicted. Victims are drugged to obey, serve 40-110 customers a day, and if they don’t obey on the drugs, they are usually killed. Not only are they forced into sex for money they also have to deal with rape, beatings, constantly being threatened, malnutrition, sleep deprivation, Hepatitis B and C, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. One fourth of the victims are from Southern and Eastern Europe with Greece being called “the center of trafficking in Europe”.
