Friendship Vs Friendship

Alliances are when two or more countries make an agreement to support each other. Alliances are formed due to rivalries and mistrust among countries. When one country is part of a war, its allies are also pulled into the battle. The two major alliances during WWI were the triple alliance, containing Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary, and the triple entente which contained Great Britain, France, Serbia and Russia. The political cartoon “Chain of Friendship” from 1914 demonstrates the alliance system.

Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) – LSCB has been set up to make sure the safeguarding and welfare of children in the local area. If a school has a concern, the local authority will also act alongside it to follow guidelines and ensure that all agencies work together.

What are tyrants, one might ask. In the current sense of the word a tyrant is pejorative term, applied to an individual in power who is selfish and self preserving. A tyrant is an immoral being, ruling over those around him through force, a tax on the freedom of those he subjugates. Yet the question that one should be asking is where do tyrants come from? Plato proposed that tyrants are a product of democracy, that the liberty inherent to a democracy allows the self interested to manipulate the system(generally through appealing to the population at large) causing a system with little liberty. This paper aims to defend the claims of Plato concerning tyranny, particularly the origins of tyrants, as well as to propose the safeguards that

In Grey’s Anatomy there are different types of friendships. You have friendships that are equal in giving and receiving. You also have some that are not equal and consist of having short friendships. While watching episode 17 I noticed a dichotomy between Edwards and Blake. Their friendship would be described as association. Which mean it’s normally a short friendship and usually you are only friends because you are co workers. An example I saw was Blake went behind Edwards back and applied for a position Edwards was already promised. Blake knew what she was taking from her and that why she hid what she had planed. This friendship described association, based on not truly being friends. They were only associates to

Plato suggests the entirety of everything a ruler does is for the advantage of the ruled. He does so in an analogy between the ruler of a society and the pilot of a ship. He writes, “the ruler will consider or command the benefit not of the pilot, but of the man who is a sailor and is ruled" (Plato 21). In putting the society before himself, he tells everyone what is known as the Noble Lie. In it, he claims that everyone in the city belongs to the city because they were born there and that there is a divine sanction to their natural hierarchy. This promotes an expectation of loyalty and keeps everyone satisfied with their standings in life within their trades. Through the Noble Lie, the ruler serves the city by ensuring order continues and that everyone is committed to the continued success of the city.

A democratic society is ruled by the poor majority, who in the end pick their leaders. On the other side, the minority or the rich, pick one to represent them. Sooner or later, a tyranny degenerates over a battle for the reigns of society. This is one of the examples in a corruptive cycle of society that Plato explores through Book VII. Tyranny would be the end-result of this cycle.

Friendship is universal. It can bridge societal gaps of gender, race, social class, and differences in abilities. College is a time of personal growth, and friendships have a tremendous impact on the development and experiences of an individual. Through Best Buddies, college students and adults in the community with disabilities have the opportunity to share friendships. These relationships bring people of all abilities, interests, and talents together, as equals and as friends. I chose to look at these friendships

Plato introduced five kinds of people and also cities and developed their sequence of going. Those are aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy and tyranny. This paper would focus mostly on the oligarchy cities and oligarch person, specifically, the similarities and differences between them.

This paper will argue that money is problematic to Plato largely because his ideal city Kallipolis is filled with virtuous leaders and citizens living in harmony and unity. When money is involved, Plato believes that it is human nature for even the most virtuous leader to lack the will to resist the temptation. Plato discusses the five different types of regimes and constitutions people can live under, Aristocracy, Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny. As regimes shift into the next, virtue decreases and corruption in the state arises. When obtaining wealth and acquiring private property is a motivating factor for humans, people start making self-interested decisions; choosing to take part in politics and fighting in wars for personal gains, and not for the benefit of the whole. When education and training is not the priority from an early age, citizens become lazy and there is a divide in the city between the rich and the poor. Plato goes to great lengths to ensure that the city is just by abolishing private property and creating the noble lie.

In the world today, society face injustice, inequality, and chaotic encounters more so now than ever. We live in a world where it is thought to be that citizens have a say in governing our country, but do we really? Citizens have no power, we are basically under the rule and control of what the individual with the title the President of the United States, the Chief of State says. In regards to Plato’s idea and goal of seeing that America has real justice and peace under the rule of a wise, informed individual not a narcissist or one obsessed with power, I agree with Plato’s view because our country is ran based on the President’s own personal thoughts and belief based on what policies and rules he thinks is best for the people but in reality

Plato’s impression of democracy which was intellectualized around 384 B.C.E is rather different from the present day understanding of democracy and the power of wealth. As an aristocrat himself, according to Plato “When the poor win, the result is a democracy.” (Plato, p.58). In other words, Plato believed that only kings were authorized to rule its society, whereas regular everyday people were perceived as ferocious and unable to govern. Plato’s awareness of democracy was established when he realized ordinary people were not born to lead, that only the elite people had the utmost respect, and right to rule over the lower class. Furthermore, the concept of power and wealth continues to be a crucial stand point in society’s then, and now since the exercise of democracy is known to be a political affair.

It’s impossible to read the book “Animal Farm” without comparing it to the Russian Revolution occur in Russia in 1917. After reading the book I decided to learn more about the consequences of the Russian Revolution and mainly research about Stalin, represented in the book as Napoleon, the leader of Animal Farm and my favourite character. Because I was so intrigued by Napoleon’s character I decided in this book task to contrast him with the Soviet dictator Stalin.

The wind blows bitterly, chilling me to the very marrow of my bones. I wrap my arms around my body as I walk slowly between the rows of tombstones. Some are crumbled with age, others made of smooth marble that has yet to face the test of time. Most though, are overgrown and unkempt, those who once tended meticulously to these graves now buried beneath the hard packed soil as well.

Furthermore, the city contains no wealth or poverty as there is not a currency. This is easily maintained as the city’s size is monitored and limited so that it cannot become ungovernable under the chosen system. Most interestingly is the fact that the city is to be defined by four virtues, including: wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice. While one can easily argue that our current republic is built around the concept of justice and courage, the other virtues must be argued. Wisdom was had by our nation’s founders, yet was not had by the citizens to the point that the founders did not trust the average citizen’s wisdom to elect the most qualified individuals for office. Nevertheless, regardless of what some republicans and democrats may say about each other, wisdom is a common trait within our government and our officials. Moderation is the virtue that I would say is far from represented within our society. Our economy is built on the greed of citizens and the flow of capital. On this aspect, we cannot compare to Plato’s ideal city. The final aspect of the city that I find to be an interesting comparison to today’s society is the fact that Plato allowed for occasional class mobility if an individual's did not fit into their assigned class. In a way, our society does allow for occasional class mobility as well, but that mover derives from either hard work, luck, or investment. Plato’s division of classes showcases the rigidness of today’s society as well as his own. Today individuals may feel trapped as they work harder to advance and get nowhere while those born into a higher monetary class work less and still have more. This can be yet another aspect that the white working class was frustrated with when they Elected Trump. The American dream is dwindling and hard work does not necessarily still pay

Plato and Aristotle’s views on the nature of a human being and the city are fundamental blocks of forming the best political regime. The ideal city of Plato stands upon the four virtues: wisdom, courage, moderation and justice. The concept of justice embodies the understanding that only when citizens are fulfilling their obligated roles while not interfering with others can a city achieve harmony. For this purpose, farmers, artisans, and shepherds will do what’s expected of them per their expertise while the Guardians, a special class, is fit to rule the state. So his view that since every individual has a different yet pertinent role in the city and as most men are only
