Politics : Politics And Politics

Then if read shallowly, the Bacchae also seems to be black and white, in the fact that the story tells of Pentheus earning his fate. The first step would be when strange things started to happen and the arrest of the stranger, Dionysus. Next, and the most important step in him earning his fate would be that Pentheus rejects the belief of Dionysus. Later on, more strange things happen, namely miracles and now Pentheus and Dionysus meet again, this time Pentheus is unable to reject him and starts to fall under his spell. They then meet for a final time and now Dionysus is in total control and humiliates Pentheus. When the chorus sees this, they invoke the "Swift hounds of Frenzy" to bring vengeance on Pentheus for failing to honor the gods. Pentheus is then finally killed by Bacchantes with the aid of his mother Agave. This seems to be a simple story of a man who rejected

AARP: Was founded in 1958, a teacher named Dr.Ethel Percy Andrus, this group was formally known as National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA ).Which was also established in 1947 also by Dr.Andrus, which was to promote the productivity of aging and the need for health insurance for retired teachers.

After taking two political quizzes, each quiz are clearly explaining which typology I was fitted in and the reason why I was in this party. The first one is political typology quiz, which is based on 23 questions that involved in different types of fields. The result I get from this quiz is “Next Generation Left”, which means the participant is young who experienced well education and the financial condition is enough for the living. Also the result mentioned the participant has very free attitudes to look at many issues, such as the same-sex marriage, the environment and foreign policy. Moreover, the result stated that these people support the activist government, and most of them are worried about the social safety net. Another consequence

It would only make sense that half of this class is on political parties and the other half would be about interest groups. They are both inherently different and fundamentally similar at the same time. Both work to sway the pendulum of public policy in the direction they believe in (Alexander, 2015). The main difference is that political parties attempt to gain political office, where interest groups are not in that business. Interest groups are in a sense a key part of a pluralistic society. They allow for everyday people to lobby and petition government. While it is true that we have interest groups in existence today, it has not always been that way. Up until the 1960’s, the power of politics was in the hands of the parties (Cigler, 2015). Many factors, such as television, a more educated electorate, etc, contributed to the creation of a power vacuum in the 1960’s. Interest groups swiftly and aggressively took the role that had formerly been that of the parties. As we have seen this power shift, so have we seen an explosion in the number of organized interests. In 1900, there were 200 registered groups in Washington D.C. Today there are 15,000. It is reasonable to be both intrigued and horrified by the concept of these groups. On one side, they are like anybody else who cares about the direction of the country. On the other, they are unelected, unrepresentative impactors of the system I must live in. While I am not trying to say they are a god send or evil, my point is

Republicans and Democrats historically have found it difficult to agree on many policy issues, and taxation represents another area of disagreement. Each party’s ideology partially explains why they take a different approach to taxation and furthermore alludes to the different coalitions present in each party. Democrats traditionally favor higher taxes, while Republicans feel as though raising taxes is inefficient. The past twenty years illustrate these two stances, and each party clearly has a history of rhetoric and policy preferences to confirm this. Each president or presidential candidate from each party has reflected a position consistent with the party’s overall stance, and this in turn explains why each party has had trouble coming to an agreement over tax policy. Furthermore, other policy issues play a role in taxation policy for both parties. Specifically social welfare and government programs correlate with taxation policy, and each party has an entirely different view on how such programs should be operated. With a fundamental difference in ideology and a different set of interests, Republicans gravitate towards less taxation while Democrats favor higher taxation.

The classic Greek play “The Bacchae” by Euripides, explores the concepts of the restraint of human convention as opposed to the liberty of nature.

On the political typology, I was scored as a Next Generation Left who has liberal attitudes on many issues.

Politics is so all encompassing that there is almost nothing that it doesn’t involve itself in. A broad definition for politics could be “the activity in which conflicting interests struggle for advantage or dominance in the making and execution of public policies.” I believe this definition can be interpreted many different ways. However, this definition does demonstrate a few of the elements of politics as politics truly is about conflicting interests and advantages for one side over the other. A great example of conflicting interests is the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline.

Harold Dwight Lasswell, leading American political scientist or communication theorist, defined politics as “Politics is who gets what, when, and how.” Although Lasswell definition is broad, I completely agree with him on his thoughts about politics based on the lessons I’ve learned throughout, my major, Political Science. Politics is defined as the “activities associated with governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties trying to achieve power. The task of political science is composed of four parts: a concern for what is right or wrong in politics, research that leads to the task of empirical understanding, the combination of empirical studies, and prudential concerns.

“The Bacchae” by Euripides, depicts a young boy king

Paul Woodruff’s translation of the Greek play Euripides Bacchae tells the story of the primary character Dionysus, who is the son of the Greek God Zeus. Dionysus is out to seek his revenge on his mother’s sisters, his grandfather Cadmus, and also his cousin Pentheus because they have denied that he, Dionysus was born a God. Also important in this play is Pentheus who was made King of Thebes as a young teenage boy by his grandfather who is also Cadmus. Pentheus learns of Dionysus trying to change order in Thebes and Pentheus is determined to stop this form happening at all costs.

When we think of politics today, we think of a group of people arguing for what they believe is right, and wanting to speak about bills and laws. Even though they may have a point or not, they still have a voice to speak up. That’s what politics are based on, the people having a voice in the government.

To simply state it, The Bacchae is a crazy play. It is a funny yet gruesome tragedy written by Euripides that tells the myth of how Dionysus, god of wine, came to Thebes to revenge the city for no longer worshipping him. He then in disguise, meets Pentheus the king and after several arguments, Dionysus tricks Pentheus into his death. Pentheus in The Bacchae is technically a tragic hero, but not as a perfect example as compared to Oedipus in Oedipus Rex. Aristotle wrote the Poetics to discuss dramatic theory. In Poetics, he discusses what makes a tragedy and what makes tragic hero. From his work, we have five characteristics that all tragic heroes have. While Pentheus does fit the 5 main characteristics that make up a tragic hero, he doesn’t fit them as well as Oedipus. Oedipus Rex is the play of a king, Oedipus, who has to revenge the death of a former king in order to save the city. Although, he tries to deny it and hide it, it is discovered that Oedipus is that said murderer and his eye are gouged out. Oedipus is a classic example of a tragic hero and is what most

People's soul are made up of several parts, as will be shown along the way, each man's main concern and occupation in life should be to build harmony and unity. Politics is the way a person expresses how his or her order in life can be used for everyone, the image of their own inner order or disorder reflected in his social life. A person cannot live alone, because one is a social animal, one must act; politics becomes an important part of the mind. Politics are simply the means of bringing order into the world of men through laws that are the product of rational nature. It is the ultimate concern of the philosopher, the one of wisdom, to bring this order forward.

The society in which Americans live in today, is in certain aspects far more complex than it ever was for our ancestors. This new complexity is seen on both a micro and macro level and everything that falls in between. Perhaps American society is inherently more complex due to the fact that most if not every societal problem that is encountered, tends to gear towards a political nature in the method of solving. It seems that Americans no longer abide by the do it yourself mentality, and as times goes by we as a people look to the government leaders to solve our problems when they are beyond our capabilities, not realizing that in doing so we also bestow the power upon them to make decisions for society as a whole.
