Student’s Name Professor’s Name Subject Date Dewey and Schopenhauer: Art’s Relation and Value to Life Using my own experience living in the wilderness, and bibliography on both authors, I shall do a comparison between Dewey and Schopenhauer’s views on art; life, and nature. Afterwards, I aim to show whose view I find more convincing. Both Dewey and Schopenhauer consider that art comes from nature. To Schopenhauer, it is our consciousness what makes us see things in relation to ourselves. Unlike Kant, Schopenhauer considers that there is an interest in things, as we do not see objects in relation to their intrinsic qualities. Instead, we see objects in terms of utility to ourselves....

Author’s Name Professor Course Title Due Date Tragedy Of Commons This is the term used when referring to a situation where individuals people behaving in their own self-interest which is contrary to the behavior of the others who are in the same group.

Critical Thinking: Compare and Contrast Philosophical Positions Comparing and contrasting philosophical positions can be hard. In the beginning, the researcher has to find how those positions relate to each other. If they do not, it is impossible to compare them. However, if they have nothing alike, we can contrast them, and show their differences. For instance, we can compare and contrast compatibilism with determinism and from that point, contrast both positions with libertarianism, and the libertarian position. In this essay, we shall compare and contrast philosophical positions, and offer our insight on them. Nevertheless, before comparing them, we shall expand on them as to...

Name: Course: Institution Date: Social Networking Site is good in our Society In the brief perspective, social media or social networking site could be referred to as a social tool for communication. From a broader perspective, social media refers to the collection of the Internet- based communication pathways dedicated to interaction, community-wide input, collaboration and content sharing. It, therefore, implies that social media differs a great deal from industrial and traditional media. The difference comes regarding reach, quality, usability, permanency and frequency.

Name: Course: Instructor: Date: Kant’s Moral Theory becomes relevant when we intend to analyze the ethical and moral dimensions of human actions. The duty that is majorly inclined towards ethics has come to be termed as deontological. Perhaps Kant’s theory is the greatest in trying to establish the rationality of peoples’ actions and whether such actions go in line with human moral and ethical code. In his notion, morality seems to be based on the intentions of an action rather than the consequences or objectives achieved from them (Hill, 1992). Kant intended to inspire a rational principle that would act as the grounding of all other judgments that are based on ethics. His theory...

Name: Institution: Date: Anti- Legalization Of Drugs The first argument for legalization of drugs that I disagree with is that legalization of drugs will boost revenues of a country. The fact that drugs trade is illegal in almost all countries in the world creates guilt in the traders who often fear shipping drugs in the open because they risk being locked behind the bars were they to do so. As a result, there will be no revenues in form of taxes got by the government when the drugs are imported or exported. Economies, who compile the revenues from various items that give rise to the total GDP of a country, cite the exclusion income from illegal businesses like drug trafficking as a major...
