Changing Lanes

Scott identifies with a lot of arguments that anarchists make but there’s one he disagrees with, “The last strand of anarchist thought I definitely wish to distance myself from is the sort of libertarianism that tolerates (or even encourages) great differences in wealth, property, and status” (Scott, xiv). To understand more why

In the instance of drunk driving, the actions of the drunk driver are related to the safety of the drivers within their proximity and therefore affects not only the driver but others as well. Our previous moral experiences allow us to determine what the intentions of the drunk driver might be. Some drivers may choose to drive under the influence of alcohol because they have had an emergency that requires them to be at a certain place and they do not have the means to reach to their destination except for driving themselves. In this case, the context becomes complicated and intricate. However, if the driver is risking his own and other drivers’ safety, it becomes clear that their intentions are based on nonchalance and disregard for others.

This reckless driving--113 m.p.h--was a surprise and frustration for the author because his son was reasonable, measured, and mostly repentant after the incident; his son’s only qualm was that he shouldn’t have been cited for reckless driving because he was incredibly focused and thoughtful about where and when he was speeding. This odd paradox was frustrating to the author because he simply couldn’t understand his son’s thinking.

Locke’s arguments for liberty sound familiar today, but he believed that one must choose between liberty and equality. Locke’s argument that any government which did not admit to the principles of freedom ceased to be legitimate especially appealed.

Driving also can be adverse because it puts a person in control of an object that has an incredible amount of force, and has varied velocity and if they should crash, it could mean serious injury or worse to both the driver and/or other people. So it’s up to the driver to stay focused and pay attention which can be very stressful and kind of scary. But a driver must push through their fears of driving in order to stay focused; after these fears are pushed aside they are much stronger mentally than they were before

Luckily, I didn’t get injured and my car had minor damage. To get to the point, this accident didn’t cause me a massive amount of stress when I am driving. What it did was constantly make me look at my rear view mirror when I stopped the car at a red light. It makes me remember how fast the other guy was going and as you know objects can be farther or closer then they appear. Telling us that the car can be close but look far or vice-versa and to me it’ll feel as though the car is right behind me. An instant accident can cause years of damage psychologically.

By letting stress fester in the mind, the build up of worries and emotions can cause a violent outburst. The husband, after saving up the stress and anger throughout his day, he completely explodes at his family. With several attempts to suppress it by drinking beers and showering he is still caught in a chaotic mix which is his home life. Eventually he finally reaches his breaking point and snaps at his wife and children. He shouts, “‘Everybody has to shut up! I can't stand this today! I got to relax some!’ she came back at him screaming to, ‘I can't stand you!’ he leaves ‘You don't talk to me like that!’ she came right up to him. ‘You going to hit me she?!’ she dared him”(Gilb 358). The stress

In a nutshell, the questions at the core of Libertarianism are why and what. The ‘why’ surrounds why any government is desirable or necessary in the first place. The ‘what’ is concerned with the type of government that is to be chosen, given one is desirable at all. In answering these two questions, Libertarianism’s primary concern surrounds ownership and the minimal state.

On the highway, cars whir along the pavement, creating a seemingly endless stream of travel. It can be inferred that they all share a common goal: to get to their destination in the fastest manner possible. The river of automobiles tends to flow smoothly, with a few stragglers caught on the side of the road trying as frantically as possible to get off grass and back on the pavement. All seems to be just fine, until a speeding and reckless driver plows into another car, causing a multi-car accident behind. Like a dam in a river, every single car stops behind them. While their motion stops, something else begins: stress. The stress level climbs more and more as the people become antsy, anxious to be on their way. Arguments break out inside the cars and steering wheels are slammed. The sole purpose of being on the highway was to get to their destination as fast as possible, but now they

Locke’s political philosophy stresses a citizens individual consent as a must in order for that individual to truly join society. The main problem with this is that very very few people actually gave their consent to their government.

The author explains to the reader that libertarianism is a doctrine that promotes freedom of the market, low government regulations of capitalism and entrepreneurship, and emphasizing liberty socially as well. Sandel describes those that are qualified for the Forbes 400 which includes Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffet, along with the owner of Walmart. Politics argues whether or not these people deserve the earnings that they have received. Some government regulations have requested that those rich give up a certain amount of their money to be distributed to those that are in need. However, in the libertarian perspective this would be intruding on the individual's right to maximize their personal welfare. Robert Nozick, who wrote Anarchy,

Mills motivating goal in this work is the libertarian acceptance of minimal restriction to individual freedom, which must be realized for self-development. The betterment of civilized society in this way relies on the expression of individual liberty without infringing on any other who enjoys equal liberty. The cases where such harm is committed, in which the state and law must inevitably intervene, is is not to reduce the importance of the individual liberty owed to rational actors, but rather affirms that aside from cases where harm

Driving is a dangerous activity requiring skill, mental focus, and judgment. However, extreme emotions interfere with this by distracting the mind. They impair clear thinking, quick decision-making, and judgment. Emotionally distracted people make mistakes such as locking themselves out of their homes and in cases of panic, have failed to locate well-marked exits in burning buildings.
